And yeah, you're going to get blow-back.

$3k after 17 years

not bad, no

I am positively salty these days about people wanting to PHONE CALL ME!??!!

NO. Email. Period.

How dare you request my human voice?!

Yeah, that IZS site is shitastic.

LES MIS FLASH MOB IN THE BAR!

woo

Ye gods, no matter how many times I've heard it, this song STILL can stir my dry and dessicated heart

ahahaha

I have seen Les Mis live around 5 times?

Both the original and the revival tours

plus, like, all the concert versions

and I cry every damn time

(Except the movie. The movie sucks)

Yep. And double-yep the NOSE movie.

I mean.... I love what they tried with the long shots, and the live-singing, and so on... but no. It didn't work.

Oh man, Ann Marie is ONE STEP from

ha!

well, I honestly think the key issues with the movie was the music direction

(and thank you for letting me work rant!)

Love Jackman, but he's the wrong range for Valjean. Crowe was... unsuitable...

They let folks set their own tempos.

Do not allow actors to set the tempo.

NEVER allow actors to set the tempo!!!

Correct.

Redmayne's crazy headshaking vibrato could have been corrected

I think I let my Jackman fanbohyishness bias me in his favor on his part there 🙂

Amanda Seyfried.. well... I loathe Cosette, she was fine. Bland, pretty, annoying.

Oh, he acted the heck out of it. Just... if you listen to him singing something comfortably in his vocal range, vs pushing it to the absolute edge, you can hear the difference

Cat is right on Jackman.

And Cosette is one of those roles like Phantom's Raoul. THANKLESS.

So he's all in head voice for Valjean, top of his range

Valjean is a tenor part, and a pretty demanding one - esp with, like, Bring Him Home

like, hear how full and round his vowels are here:

I know, yes, Oklahoma

and that is HIGH for a Bari

Bring Him Home is STRATOSPHERIC.

yup

oh, for Shady
