At 21 years old, Password Host Keke Palmer became the youngest actress to play Cinderella on Broadway. And two years before that, she showed off her Broadway-caliber singing voice in the movie Joyful Noise, for which she recorded a cover of Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror." From the behind-the-scenes footage, it looks like she had a ton of fun in the studio, really getting into the spirit of the song. Check out the performance here.

About "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson

"Man in the Mirror" was the fourth consecutive single from Jackson's 1987 album Bad to reach number-one on the charts. It's a song about self-inspiration, encouraging the listener to reflect on their own actions and how they can make the world a better place. Per Rolling Stone, it was written by Glen Ballard and Siedah Garrett.
