FULL Film Soundtrack of HAIRSPRAY -- Now available in stream audio! — Page 4

allofmylife, that makes no sense. For one, I wasn't criticizing Marc's work, I was criticizing the actors. And why is it "cretinous"? Because God forbid I criticize the Hairspray soundtrack, right? So you can either learn to deal with my opinion (which I will continue to post), or don't read it and shut up.

Now, back to the soundtrack...

love

I have some love, if that's all right with the bitchier queens? ^_^

The orchestrations are KILLER. I particularly loved 'I Can Hear The Bells', 'Timeless To Me', and 'You Can't Stop The Beat'. I also swear each incarnation of 'Ladies Choice' gets better and better, even though you guys must have stopped working on it quite a while ago. O_o

I was kinda concerned I wouldn't enjoy John Travolta or Amanda Bynes, but they're both fine. Yes, Amanda's no Kerry Butler, but that doesn't mean she's bad by any means.

I think I get what people are yapping about when they go "OMG, Zac Efron's voice is sooooooooo computerised". But uh... guys? I think that's just his voice. :P He sounds the same in the tiny snippets he sings in 'High School Musical', and as they were happy to replace him for most of that, I'm fairly confident they wouldn't have bothered computerising just a few lines. :P He sounds great. And looks great. And I'm going to stop there befoe I get inappropriate.

Oh, I love Brittany Snow! I wish she had more to do, she's so cute in her bitchiness. :3

I especially love all three of the new songs.

Criticisms? Sure, I have a couple. Queen Latifah is a great singer, but I miss the serious WALLOP Mary Bond Davis packed.

Actually, that's all I have in the way of criticisms at this time. I'll come up with more if you like, but I just love this recording. I thiiiiink I may prefer it to the OBCR. The fuller orchestrations are wonderful, the new songs are so much fun, and on a personal level I prefer Nikki to Marissa. If that's okay. ^_^

No one's voice sounds like AutoTune.

I love the fuller orchestrations especially during YCSTB. All of the songs are amazing!

Good point, Shaiman.

One thing is listening to the soundtrack via head-phones and via computer speakers -- even great computer speakers with a sub-woofer, etc.

I listened to the recording via the speakers hooked up to my computer, and I liked what I heard. I'm expecting the actual recording by the end of the week, which I'll be able to listen to on my stereo.

is SUCK a bad word? :)

I may have to get a stereo- but the house I live in was built in the 50's and the walls are PAPER thin. I'm afraid the sounds of 'You Cant Stop The Beat' might drive others in my home nuts.


Is it sad that I am going to buy a widescreen tv for when the Hairspray DVD comes out- yeah a lil bit.

And I have now used up my allocated 25 free plays on Rhapsody. I played some of the songs numerous times, but I think I played Cooties the most.

Well, if it sounds this good through my computer headphones which are just ordinary everyday ones, and they sound great, I can only imagine how amazing it's going to sound in a Dolby Digital theater, like maybe The Ziegfeld in NYC at 10 am on July 20th 2007.

dude, you're wrong. Simple.

you're still wrong, but thanks
