Peter Dinklage, whose Tyrion Lannister role has been the most enduring in the series so far, gloated over his continuing presence in the last five seasons, having survived being killed off in the gristly show, complete with backup singers.
Nicholaj Coster-Waldau channeled his Jamie Lannister character in a soft ballad dedicated to Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), while accompanying himself on the piano.
Kit Harrington has also been featured as Jon Snow singing the rock song, "Wildling," for Ygritte (Rose Leslie).
