A good point about Adam Pascal on Rent soundtrack... — Page 3

That's just sad.

I want to revive it. Personally. Exactly as it was. Alas, that's kind of an outrageous ambition.

---

I think seeing Adam in something like that [The Producers] would be funny.
Could be interesting. Like Jeremy, I always wanted him to do something like Sweeny Todd. Out of the box!

---

Could be worse. He could attempt Dame Edna.

---

LOL! When was he in a dress? And where can I get a picture?

That would be a sight. And I would pay to see it. :oD

---

Well on that note I will retire and wait for the Rent movie...and then dream of Adam with big breasts and a flashy pink dress with cat glasses. Adieu!

---

*Wants to see Adam in a dress*

Yay for finished arguments. Less stressful.

I also want to see Temptation, damnit. It sounds so hilarious. XD

---

I wish everyone would just lay off Adam already. He doesn't sound the same way he did in 1996 because he's not the same person he was 9 years ago. He's also apporaching the character from a completely different perspective for a different medium.
He can't be any worse, than say Idina Menzel who can't even sound convinving with that one line she robotically spews out of her mouth from the scene that's featured in the new trailers.

Me three!

Keep open minds, everyone!

This was sent as a private message but felt I should share it...
you nor I were in that recording studio with any of these people nor were we filming it with them. So the fact that any of us can put these people under a microscope like this is absolute Bull s*^&! I am sorry if that is harsh but geez you would think that you people wrote this show. These are obvious professionals and what they recorded is obviously very good to them and the people who have put money into the film so for those of us who's job it is to sit and critique and wait to find any little "imperfection" that we feel is completely ludicrous. I am sorry but those are my thoughts. some of you on here are making this much more personal than it is. Their jobs are to entertain and play a character simple as that. I am more than positive the end result will be great! but then again you can't please all of the people all of the time.

I responded to BDwayGuy via PM, but I might as well say it on here as well.

I understand where you're coming from, but my honest opinion is that much of what I hear is simply not serving the score as well as it can. Simple as that. There are many things I hear on this CD that if I were producing, musical directing, mixing, or directing, I'm not sure I'd let them fly.

But to be perfectly honest, I still enjoy listening to it. It's Rent for god's sake, it's not like it's been destroyed. But if you put yourself in say...a musical director's shoes, who basically pick apart every minute detail to make things sound the best they can...I can't imagine letting some things on the soundtrack fly.

That's not to say it's a bad CD. Just that I don't think it reached its potential. It's the difference between good and great. Or great and brilliant. And when you really really enjoy a particular piece of work, don't you want it to reach it's potential? For it to be represented on film and on the soundtrack in its best form?

But you're right...the end product--the actual movie. The important part. That could still end up being fabulous.

And for the record, I've been listening to this soundtrack pretty much non-stop. I enjoy it...I mean it's Rent, I'll pretty much love it no matter what. But that doesn't make me blind to its flaws.

Oh, God! Totally ruined! hahah.

I agree, Fizz.

Going back to the Ladies Who Lunch thing, I don't think Elaine Stritch sounds pretty on that song either, but it works as a whole. I'll have to let this new rendition of Glory settle a bit more before I can decide if the same principal applies (and I am NOT comparing Adam to Elaine Stritch).
