Not sure if these are the finished mixes, but DEFINITELY pitch-corrected (listen to "and SEE" in Good Morning Baltimore), their voices sound beautiful though, can't wait for this CD to come out! (Btw, pitch correction isn't a bad thing, all of Dreamgirls is pitch-corrected)
See I love Ruthie in the Les Mis concert, but cannot even listen to her Ellen on the studio album. I don't think (vocally) that it comes even close to Claire Moore's renditions.
I honestly cannot listen to the studio recording at all, I think everyone on the OLC is superior, other than Gigi and Jonathan Pryce. I'm not a fan of Ruthie's Ellen just because Claire outsings her, and Joanna's vibrato drives me crazy! I am a big fan of Simon's singing, so for me the OLC is miles above the studio recording.
I can never understand (on the cast recording of the Wedding Singer) the end of "Linda's note". It sounds like "the I is dotted with a broken hand." Not sure if that's right!
