FULL Film Soundtrack of HAIRSPRAY -- Now available in stream audio! — Page 8

I MISS HARVEY!

don;t buy the physical CD. download it on itunes or something. THat would be very GREEN of us if we did it that way.
It's bad for the enviornment...not to mention the gas we're wasting and oils on trucks being used to ship those cd's.

(and im not happy about John Travolta at ALL)
ill. ill.
but i DO want to say how I love all of the new orchestrations.
THe music and lyrics are AMAZING..
they always were and they transcend time..

but John Travolta is the weakest link for me..and next Queen Latifah.
even though it's 'good'...there is no soul involved. and she can't act for shizzles.
she is the same barbershop,beautyshop,bringin down the house...bland expressionless person on everything she does. total bore.

i still don't understand why Diana Degarmo wasn't cast in the film as Penny if they wanted to lure the teenpop idol kids to the theatre. amanda bynes?!?!?!??! UGGH

(but i love the music) still


:P

Mm, John and my wonderful Queen are two of the highlights for me.

Queen Latifah is a Goddess in my eyes.

This soundtrack is beautiful. I was thinking it would not live up to the OBCR, but, man, is it wonderful! Mama I'm a Big Girl Now- LOL

Damn you unemployment checks and bills. I won't be able to get it for another few weeks But, I am going to see the movie on opening day.

Oh, and "Ladies Choice" better be nominated for the "Best Original Song" Oscar or there will be hell to pay. Oh, and also I better be asked to sing it on stage with Zach. That is all!

I don't want to read through this whole thread to see if my question has been asked so in the event that it has already been asked, I am sorry.

Is it me or does it sound like they took actual audio clips from the film and inserted them in the songs? For example when Tracy and Penny talk in Baltimore Crabs it sounds like it is an audio clip from the film, same with the beginning of Welcome to the 60's.

---

Ehhh that kind of bugs me. I don't like how it doesn't "fit" with the rest of the song.

You know what I mean?

---

"Ladies' Choice"
"Big Blonde & Beautiful (reprise)"
"I Can Wait" (ultimately cut)
"Come So Far"

were all written for the film.

"New Girl In Town" was written for the Broadway show, but cut.

Marc-

Your new arrangement of Miss Baltimore Crabs is absolutely FANTASTIC! That song alone is reason enough for me to buy the cd. I was so worried that I wouldnt be open to the new changes, but that song is just so sexy and fun, I absolutely adore it. You better believe I will be driving around CT this summer with that blasting from the speakers of my Scion. Haha, thank you so much for it!

Next weekend is gonna rock! Hairspray movie on the 20th, then my b-day and Gypsy on the 21st!

I got the CD on the 9th and pretty much haven't stopped listening to it since!

I've been listening to the recording non-stop as well. I really like the orchestrations. It's nice to see they used a lot of people from the Broadway and touring companies (i.e., Jenn Gambatese, Leslie Kritzer, Donna Vivino, Shoshana Bean, Michael Cunio, etc.) of Hairspray as background vocalists (names listed in booklet).

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm going to a screening on Monday (which I'm leaving work a couple of hours early just to stand in line to make sure I get in).
