This statement has been true for decades. But in the olden days of movie musicals, they hired real singers to record the vocals so the Hollywood actors could lip synch (famous examples: Deborah Kerr in King and I, Natalie Wood in West Side Story, Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady). More recently, it is not a requirement that stars in musicals actually sing well and are not dubbed over with a real singer (Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd, etc., never ending). Sadly, I guess many people are happy with mediocre singing if the acting is good. :-/ I didn't realize that Hugh Jackman is in the movie, IMO he can sings since he's a broadway actor as well. Maybe in Adam's POV, Hugh's not good enough for Opera :-/ or maybe Adam forgot that there's Hugh Jackman in the movie.. ;D A lot of people have said Hugh's singing is "off." |

I'm curious what Adam's opinion of Gerard Butler as The Phantom of the Opera was !? |

www.inquisitr.com/461692/adam-lamberts-les-mis-review-hollywood-treats-singing-as-the-last-priority/Adam Lambert’s ‘Les Mis’ Review: ‘Hollywood Treats Singing As The Last Priority’Posted December 30, 2012  Most people seem to like Tom Hooper’s ambitious big-screen adaptation of Les Miserables, but singer and one-time American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert hated it. Simply hated it. Though Les Mis is tearing it up at the box office (and with critics), Adam Lambert slammed the film’s A-list cast on Twitter, accusing Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, and others of “pretending to be singers.” “Les Mis: Visually impressive w great Emotional performances,” Lambert started on Sunday night, “But the score suffered massively with great actors PRETENDING to be singers.” Lambert also bemoaned Hollywood’s practice of casting actors on the basis of their fame instead of hiring trained and professional singers. “Hollywoods movie musicals treat the singing as the last priority.” more..
