A good point about Adam Pascal on Rent soundtrack... — Page 4

hi guys! it's been awhile since i've been here but now i've got time...

anyways, back to the topic at hand. this is my opinion, only, so please don't jump me. it's true his voice is different from the original but that's to be expected since it has been 10 years. i like some parts of Glory when he is belting his heart out but in the beginning, he sounded like he was void of emotion. but u kno, i'm trying to reserve my judgement until i see the movie and get a visual of the scene. i still love his voice. and i think that Rosario's voice is good, very pretty and smooth. good but not great.

i am in agreement with some people that it is a good CD but it didn't reach it's maximum potential. i love listening to it, though. It's Rent, how can i not? but i'll cherish my OBCR with all my heart.

I never saw him in rent. the first time i saw adam was in Aida, then Aida again, and then last year I saw him close Cabaret. when i saw rent and then heard him on the OBC, i distinctly remember being startled by how different his voice sounded. i didnt think he sounded BETTER, i was just like "wow he sounds younger." same with Idina- i saw wicked before i heard rent, she sounds different. peoples voices change, obviously. also if you belted theater-style on a movie soundtrack it wouldnt flow with the style of a cinematic piece- especially what i would imagine the cinematic version of rent to be. i think its going to feel very intimate, and therefore it has to be more of an internal anger and sadness that hes expressing rather than the overwhelming fast pace of the musical which jumps from song to song especially at the beginning. i think its great, i cant wait.
