Rosario-RENT Movie

So......

Who sang for Rosario Dawson in the RENT Movie? It seems a touch obvious when you hear it...especially if you saw her at the Public this summer.

I'm not trying to diss her, but its quite obvious in some places on the soundtrack that they really digitalized(sp?) her voice. Not the whole thing, just a few spots.

I don't buy that for a second.

If you saw two gents, you could hear she was pretty much pitch-free.

Not to menion, it's clearly two different voices when she's singing and speaking.

Are you sure???

I mean, it's pretty easy to hide someone dubbing for her if they wanted to and it would seem to me now having seen the whole thing, that no amount of protools could alter her sound that much to make her sound like a kickass singer.

Yes, Rosario OBVIOUSLY sang for herself in the movie. Come on now.

She's actually one of the best parts of the movie.

You are incredibly obnoxious. See the movie, then judge.

Her voice sounds completely natural to me. Get the f*ck over it.

I'm just sick and tired of hearing people (who obviously don't know what they're talking about) whine about the most trivial matters.

I don't think it's digitized too much. Perhaps in some places, but whatev, they do that with mainstream artists all the time. It's why people sound different in the studio as opposed to performing live. Two totally different types of performance. Which is why I also think it's unfair to compare Rosario's singing on the CD versus her performance in Two Gentlemen. She may not have the best voice or anything, but I think it's entirely appropriate for the role and so did they. Wouldn't you have liked them to touch it up a bit so at least it's not off-key? People would be far less forgiving. And her acting may be phenomenal. From clips that I've seen, Rosario looks great and I can't wait to see the movie for her performance.

Well, yes, such is the case with some people.

I saw TWO GENTS and yes, of course she sounds better on the sweetened RENT soundtrack, but it's clearly the same voice.

Damn y'all really find every reason to critisize Rosario because she isn't Daphne, Karmine or insertnamehere.

The cast, the director, and the Larson's all think she's great.

Get over it, she's Mimi.

There are moments during the film, though...SERIOUSLY...and I'm just commenting, not trying to insult her...where she will speak part of a song and then starts singing and it sounds like someone different entirely.

Her acting in the film is fantastic, but it's difficult not to notice the electronic Cher "Do You Believe In Life After Love" sound that it sometimes makes. It just seems like they could have found SOMEBODY who could sing it. It's not as if they needed her for her name.

The film looks fine...it's awkward at times, because they've turned a bunch of sung moments into scenes (without changing anything) so randomly there will be a scene that happens to rhyme. People in the theater laughed out loud at a few moments that were just really strange-Adam and his long hair flowing as he walks through the Grand Canyon during what you own stands out as a particularly awkward moment. but I digress...Rosario looks and (clearly technically enhanced or dubbed by someone else) sounds great.

The Grand Canyon? I didn't know that was in Santa Fe =P and nobody in my audience laughed at any inappropriate time.
