Blake Lively expresses desire for Anna Kendrick's voice as personal ringtone after acting together in 'A Simple Favour'.

Rewritten Article:

Blake Lively hailed Anna Kendrick's unmatched vocal prowess following her jaw-dropping performance on a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In an Instagram Story, the Gossip Girl alum couldn't help but shower praise on her Another Simple Favor co-star after watching Kendrick take on a side-splitting musical challenge called "Song Scrambler."

In the segment, Kendrick demonstrated her knack for comedy by belting out Hanson's classic hit MMMBop, but with the melody of Benson Boone's emotional ballad "Beautiful Things." And boy, did she kill it.

Lively, responding to the viral video, exclaimed, "Math: @annakendrick = one of one." She added a clip of Kendrick's performance, gushing, "This woman. INSANELY talented." And just to drive the point home, she wrote, "I meannnn, It's bonkers." To top it all off, the enthusiastic fan declared, "I want this as my ringtone please and thank you."

Joining the chorus of praise, Isaac Hanson himself commented, "you sounded fantastic... Well done! I love this!"

The flurry of adoration comes hot on the heels of Lively and Kendrick's reunion in London earlier this month as they promoted the sequel to Another Simple Favor. Their broad smiles and playful energy during press conferences quickly put to rest any rumors of on-set drama.

Director Paul Feig even jumped into the fray, addressing the speculation head-on. In response to a claim that Lively was avoiding Kendrick at the SXSW premiere, Feig simply replied, "Um ... you're wrong."
