Les Miserables: "Why did not you cast actors who are good singers?"

Tom Hooper should give a chance for professional singers, judge Adam Lambert, a former candidate for American Idol.

Adam Lambert caused a stir by giving its opinion on the film. If the majority of critics seem to enjoy (71% positive ratings on Rotten Tomatoes ), it has not been conquered by the song:

- "Les Mis: visually impressive and full of emotions and good performance, but the soundtrack suffers heavily interpretations of some of the actors who CLAIM to be singers.."

- "It is an opera Musical films made ​​in Hollywood feel that the song is not a priority (except for. Dreamgirls , which was good) "

- "Anne Hathaway as Fantine and Enjolras were the exceptions of the film."

- "Helena B. Carter and Sasha B. Cohen were as good."

- "I thought it was cool that they sing for real, but with this cast, they should record the songs in the studio and smooth voice."

- "And the voice of Eponine was cool"

- "I tried to ignore the voice and focus on emotions, but some songs déconcentraient me too."

- "In the industry, people will say, 'These players were brave to sing these songs live," but why not cast actors who are good singers? "

- "Sorry to be so frank, but it's true!"

- "I'm glad this discussion I grew up with this musical and I think I was expecting a lot from this adaptation I do not want to show me negative..."

Les Misérables works well in the United States since its release on Christmas Day. It has already paid its budget of $61 million. In a humorous way, the film has been another memorable critical where the editor nicknamed the actors by the names of their iconic characters (Hugh Jackman is Wolverine, Anne Hathaway, Catwoman, etc.): "I went to see Les Miserables with my wife. We saw this obscure feature film, a French film, I think, I had never heard before. (...) In the beginning, Wolverine starts bawling. then Catwoman arrives, she sings and crying at the same time it is very moving (...) To summarize, then:. Gladiator Wolverine flees as Catwoman had a baby with Borat and Wolverine wants to take care of her time elapses , children are killed and in the end, everyone dies. I put it four stars."
