I have a degree in performance, and i have been singing since I was 3 (with adults like an adult) you can ask my mom VaTam.. Fantine is supposed to be a strong will woman.. that finally breaks with i dreamed a dream .. anne just looks pathetic.. val jean is supposed to be built like a football player so he can lift large wooden carrages with barrels inside, or a burning roof. and when hugh jackman songs who am i .. he has a nice singing voice.. if he would just use it instead of talking.. and russel crowe cant hold a tune period and was i think coying off style from jackman .. or they just watched will shatners greatest hits and watched it together.. (nothing agaisnt shatner but his musical sytling should only be in a waynes brothers musical...} cossette sounds like a tiwtterpated disney bird on crack.. and not to mention the fact in interviews they are like oh we are live singing big deal.. ya know who else did a live singing movie but did well.. nicole kidman and euwan mcgregor in Mulion Ruoge .. and i am not even a big kidman fan really
