Evan Rachel Wood <3

I don't get the criticisms over Amanda Seyfriend's voice. I thought she sounded great (in Mamma Mia too).

The only person who's voice was grating to me was Russell Crowe, though I don't know if it's my bias against his character. I'd have to see it again to decide.

acting in musicals on stage is a very different skill to acting on film. It's heightened and OTT. For film you have to bring in down several notches. Most stage musical stars do not make great film actors.

and who appointed you the authority on this thread? what qualifies as a great voice is subjective but "astonishing" is an OTT claim

What a joke! Bye Adam! Did he hear himself at the VH1 Divas?

I agree with him though, the girl who played Eponine didn't amaze me with her vocals. I felt like she toned it down a lot in favor of acting since film acting is way different from stage acting.

And Rachel Wood wasn't calling him out, she was agreeing to him. She's saying that singing the soundtrack live on film can be done with a cast who can both sing and act well.

And yeah, the vocals were mostly OK to good in the film (but acting was brilliant!). Regardless of what a flop he is, it does not take away any of the truth from his statement.

I haven't seen the movie (not planning to do it) so I can't tell if he's right or not but it's cute that it turned into another bash Adam Lambert thread. It had been a while

Obviously.
