According to some Twitter posts I saw, the song won't be available in the US until 11 pm despite being downloable in other countries.

 

I wonder if the Overture track is only for the soundtrack. I can't see them having a four minute titles sequence before the prologue even starts.

So here's a working version of the title track with Grande & Legend.  Who orchestrated this?!  It sounds like a karaoke track!

Here's a clip of GASTON:

Luke and Josh's voices are perfect, but damn are the orchestrations messy! They're all over the place and I don't know which one to focus on. Plus, it drowns out the singing.

Josh Groan released a 30s preview of his version of 'Evermore' and I think it sounds really great! So curious for Dan's version. https://soundcloud.com/joshgroban/evermore-30-second-teaser/s-1uuNw

Speaking as the self-appointed Diz collector of the BWW boards, there is SO much merchandise for this movie. Dolls and figures and lithographs and pins and accessories...all aboard the hype train!!

Too late ... it's already gone.

This looks so aggressively generic. 

Here's our first listen to "Days in the Sun." Holy crap! It's GORGEOUS! And a shout out to "A Change in Me" is in there too

And Emma Thompson's "Beauty and the Beast." It's lovely, but Emma is honestly missing the warmth that Angela had in her voice

including the recent "DAYS IN THE SUN" song...

i think Emma sounds great considering she was very nervous to sing for the film. but i totally agree, Emma Thompson does not have the warmth and sweetness that Angela Lansbury had when singing the iconic song. i think she puts the cockney accent on too much for this song. when speaking in the film (from the teaser videos we have seen so far with the enchanted objects), she sounds lovely.

i did have my doubts about Ewan McGregor being cast as Lumiere, but i have totally overlooked that now the more i see. 

i have just finished reading the novelization of the live action film...

and i tell you what....us fans are in for a real treat. it is going to be amazing. i was smiling (and nearly crying!) from start to finish.

it looks amazing so far. I can't wait to see Luke as Gaston singing this song. he's gonna steal the scene. hope we get to see more clips over the next couple of weeks building up to the big world-wide release on March 17th.

A new tv spot was posted today...

^Does it really matter if he can sing, if he has the most unrelatable, completely missed the mark, CGI face?  Not to mention your Belle can't sing the score, why should the Beast?

Emma is so auto tuned into oblivion it's really too bad.

She probably wasn't even that bad but it's such a typical thing for Disney to have this "princess perfect pitch" representation of Belle. Like bad Glee auto tune.

You can criticize Russell Crowe in Les Mis all you want but at least you could tell it was him. This is distracting. 

I'm predicting this to be one of those charming and certainly watchable but flawed and awkward movie musical adaptations. Like the Rent movie.
