That was exciting! It's going to take some getting used to, though. Pretty much everything sounds different than I expected, and it was a shock. The sound quality, at least on my computer, is pretty bad, especially in "Glory." I agree Adam sounds kind of wierd, but it might be part of the character...maybe? Or maybe it's the sound quality. *shrug* dunno. I think Rosario sounds very good in "OT", though it sounds very similar to Daphne's version, I agree. At least we know she can sing.
The soundtrack was newly produced. New orchestrations, new arrangements no one is singing on any previous arrangements of any of the songs.

I have yet to listen to the entire clip of Glory. It doesn't sound very good.
I hope the actual song won't sound like that. However, Seasons sounds exactly the same...kind of makes me worry.

Specifically, what does everyone find so troublesome about "Glory"? I'm curious.

Why do some of the orchestrations sound like they were created on comicbook guy's $30 keyboard?
I enjoyed all of them immensely. Everyone is in great voice, including Adam (One Song Glory sounds fine to me). I'm sure Rosario will deliver a wonderful performance, as will the rest of the cast.
people these are compressed music files that will not give you the full effect of the orchestrations/arrangements as they will sound in either a movie theatre or a a compact disc.
with sound compression comes some distortion and even loss of quality.
they were meant to just be sound bites.
i'm sure the songs in their full, original versions sound just fine.

Yes..I don't care for the music that is with Glory. It sounds weird to me. So I guess it doesn't have to do with Adam really, I don't think he sounds bad.
Thanks for the info, Marquise--did not know that!

Not Bad. No Idina?
Rosario has a thin voice.
Adam sounds great.
i love what jesse l. martin did with "santa fe": totally different approach and a fresh interpretation. he sounds great.
i'm also feeling "will i?", love the harmonizing going on in that clip.
Rosario has a very soothing voice, it works well for LMC.
WOW! didnt know that was on the site! They all sound INCREDIBLE! i like what they've done to the music. And i like that they have angel singing Will I (i suppose replacing gordon). And about Adam..I don't think he sounds bad. I actually like the new emotion he has in it, the hopelessness. Which of course I'm getting from a 30 second clip so who knows..but I like his emphasis on "young man" it just sounds heartbroken. So, yeah I think he sounds great, just like everyone else. And Rosario..no doubts left. She sounds perfect.
pretty good. Some of them sound so different.
I like Rosario's voice..but I could barely hear her cause the background music seemed to be over powering her. But, she sounded really good in Light My Candle.

I didn't really like the way Glory sounded, but they'll probably sound better in the movie and on the CD. The rest of them sound great.
everyone sounds really good to me, but it is pretty cool how you can hear the subtle differences in their interpretations; anthony sounds a bit more aggressive on tango, and jesse is even more charming and playful on santa fe, etc. can't wait to see it all together.

To me Adam sounds like an old man who has been smoking for his entire life. I think he sounds aboslutly dreadful. I shall still keep an open mind and wait for the soundtrack but if this is the way its all going to sound I will probably be saving my 8$ and not seein the movie.

Well, he is playing someone who just got out rehab.
I'm so proud of her! ...and i love Adam either way.
I don't get it. That's Adam's style of singing, he has a rough voice. And yes it's even a little more rough sounding than the OBC. But it works!
Oh lord, I'm listening right now and swooning like mad. They all sound amazing. Adam does sound a bit different but I still like it and it seems fitting for his character. Rosario sounds beautiful. Much less agressive and raw then Daphne but I like it alot. Wilson sounds awsome as always in Today for You, and Jesse and Taye both sound great and as clear as ever. Anthony does sound more agressive but I love it! And Tracie sounds wonderful as Joanne. Ohh God, and the harmony of Roger and Steve's voice on "When reason says I should have died 3 years ago". That part on the CR always makes me cry for some reason. It sounds so beautiful in harmony. Plus the extra instrumentals all sound amazing as well. This is going to be one amazing soundtrack!
Now that I've heard more of Rosario singing (and not that crappy clip of Without You) I have alot more confidence then before as Mimi and I already thought she'd do great before this. She has a great voice. VERY different then Daphne but she certainly does not disappoint. I can't wait to buy this recording.
One Song Glory...it's just different and Adam doesn't sound quite like his typical orgasmic self. *reminds self...these are just crappy streams...the cd and the movie will be better* I pretty much like what I hear otherwise.
In You'll See...is it just me, or does Taye sounds really calm and mellow? No one sounds pissed off enough.

nodaybut2day - i also think adam sounds like he's been smoking too much, but hopefully this adds to characterization. when the clip is ending, it sounds like the song really starts to rock harder; maybe this song is more raw than in the oBC.
that guitar arrangement on "OUT TONIGHT" is kicking major @ss.
