STARS

I recently downloaded the OST of The Les Mis movie and it had been on repeat play in my Car stereo ever since.
The Low down? Well....It’s actually good, I am aware that when a musical is translated to the big screen, were not to expect the bigger than life vocals of stage thespians Madonna as EVITA as it would look and sound unnatural and would put off some viewers.
But surprisingly I enjoyed the soundtrack immensely. Except for some minute details that's really negligible.....



Oh OK I changed my mind I do have reservations regarding the Les Miz Soundtrack and its name is Javert aka Russell Crowe. Stars did it for me (Which incidentally is one of my favourite from the show). The voice sounds like a Drunk guy with a really bad cold.
I guess on Crowe's performance the singing live during filming is not such a good idea. Maybe it would have been better if they recorded it with auto tune. It might have been more OK. And better yet maybe they could have done Ala Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady wherein Marnie Nixon sang her part. Maybe they should have asked Norm Lewis to do the singing part.

But heck I mean seriously I haven't seen the movie (due to the MMFF) so I am giving Mr Crowe the chance by way of his acting. I'm hoping he nailed the acting really good to a point that his lousy singing could be dismissed.
