Adam Lambert Throws Shade At "Les Miz"
She's really bringing that direct-to-dvd Disney villainess thing to life, huh? Adam Lambert saw Miserable Lesbians, was dismayed by the singing, and sauntered onto Twitter to let them have it, hunty. Fuck, this blog is starting to become DLesMized. Blame her.
'Les Mis: Visually impressive w great Emotional performances. But the score suffered massively with great actors PRETENDING to be singers. It's an opera. Hollywoods movie musicals treat the singing as the last priority. (Dreamgirls was good).'
Wise choice not coming for Beyonce. She would simply whisper into Blue Ivy's ear, BIC's eyes would turn pure white, and all of Lambert's M.A.C. products would spontaneously combust.
Lambert went on to say that he thought Anne Hathaway was great, though. Sweet Jesus, do NOT give that bitch any more lube.
"One more clarification: DO go see it for Anne Hathaways performance. It's was breathtaking."
It's heartening to find someone else whose grammar is worse than mine. Not by much. This bitch is pressed because he wanted to play the emaciated French hooker. He had a whole glittery ragamuffin costume made for the audition, and a daring makeup scheme devised complete with a "starvation" smokey eye. Gritty but still glamorous. Then he found out he'd have to shave his head. Ain't nobody touchin' Miz Adam's mop.
The only exposure I've actually had to Adam Lambert performing was this rendition of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" when he was on Idol. Girl, he made it into a sultry Middle Eastern-themed gay bar torch song about looking for a Q-tip to soothe his inflamed-with-passion asshole. It sounds like it would have added some much needed flair to Les Miz, so it's a shame they didn't go with a "real" singer.

Some of the comments here are unbelievably catty (MEOW) and in many instances, just plain uninformed.
I saw the movie Tuesday. The acting was for the most part, superb.The singing was for the most part, abysmal.Adam Lambert is a theater geek by his own admission.He has a right to his own opinion especially since he was merely sharing it on Twitter (social media) and has his own experiences and tastes.Though he was never on Broadway proper (he didn't want to relocate to NYC when he was younger) he HAS been in many productions.He was in the European cast of "Hair" for 6 months. There are 2 instances on YT where his vocals only are available, one from "Hair"
http://youtu.be/6v1IsOQhEH4
Then, from the play "Brigadoon" (he was "Charlie")
http://youtu.be/DJYyqzUr6jU (listen to the entire song & be amazed)
Then "The Ten Commandments" which was critically panned EXCEPT for the performances of "newcomer,Adam Lambert";
http://youtu.be/IY9olWGwF7c
Another stage performance, for Art4Life, "Crazy"
http://youtu.be/EBlmcak7cuA
And last, but not least, in the Zodiac Show,performing a song HE co-wrote as well;
http://youtu.be/wXvSA6QL7Ac
He got Game, yo.
They did better than most movie musicals in hiring actually trained singers. Did he think he was going to be Marius or something?

I liked what he had so say until he praise Anne Skankaway
He can say whatever he wants about Lez Mis because I have not seen it yet. But in Dreamgirls, the most distracting part was when Beyonce was trying to ACT.

OK, if he's a natural red head and everything including the pubes has to be dyed black how do you explain that face? He sure spends a lot of time and work and ink for that look.
Sorry, I like Adam and I think he's a fab singer.
I'm a musical theatre snob at heart, but I was really impressed with the acting and most of the singing in Les Miz. Jackman's voice was pretty amazing on some of those songs. Russell Crow was the only one I thought couldn't sing. (And I'd rather listen to Crow's non-voice than whiny, bitter Adam Lambert.)

I guess he oughtta know. Glambert is a twat PRETENDING to be a singer. Aren't his 15 minutes just.about.up?
I suppose he thinks he would carry Kanye's baby better too.
Catty much, Glambert?
I have found that, when staging a musical (at least when I know the directors- in a immunity college) those who are casting the parts, prefer good actors who can sing well enough and not the opposite. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing Adam in a musical.

Just watched the YouTube segment with Adam singing "Mad World." Cannot throw shade - absolutely beautiful. Also, he was an exceptionally cute child, judging from the pictures in the intro.

Adam Lambert is one of the very select few Queen has invited to front them in their rare (2 out of 3) performances since the vocal god died. I think I'll go with those guys opinion of his voice over some of yours

Careful Glambert, Crowe will throw more than shade back at you.
**********
Shiitake happens...
I have only seen scenes from the movie but I know I would be distracted if the actors are acting gritty and realistic and then suddenly a perfectly-sung song comes out. That would be ridiculous. I want the music to sound like the actual person is singing it, not a professional, so it fits into the story. Ever see the movie Camelot? Richard Harris and Vanessa Redgrave aren't great singers and that makes it feel real when they sing what they are feeling in the moment.
Besides, I don't consider the scream-singing Adam Lambert does as good singing, either.
BTW- Russell Crowe has a background in musical theater and was excited to have the opportunity to do it again. I haven't heard the result so I can't comment but it's not true when someone says he isn't experienced.
It's ironic that I don't care to hear what he sounds like only because he looks stupid.
So sad that Liberace didn't live long enough to make this guy his boy toy.
"and a daring makeup scheme devised complete with a "starvation" smokey eye."
LOL!!!
I love Adam. Lmao at you Mr. Harvey only hearing Ring of Fire, which was probably the worst song he had on AI.
Try this one:
Mad World http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfR0JGWX62E
Since I am procrastinating, I will say that I don't expect actors in movie musicals to sing beautifully. For instance, I think Christopher Plummer's voice was kind of weak (but he was hot as FUCK) and Julie Andrews's voice always grates, but TSOM is one of my favorites. And Carol Burnett in "Annie" nailed it but her singing isn't pleasing to the ear.
If they can act and own the part, I can forgive mediocre singing.
He's still relevant!
Adam's critique is SPOT ON.
I guess I'm the only one who thought Anne over-acted. I feel like she is to crying what Chad Michael Murray is to scowling.
Okay Adam!

Yes, really. He's pretty divisive, it seems. People either really love him or they really don't. I think he's talented and his music is fun. Also, not gonna lie, I find the androgeny (sp?) amusing.
He'd have more credibility if he used the right term Does he not know the definition of opera?
"She's really bringing that direct-to-dvd Disney villainess thing to life, huh?" made me laugh.
He looks like a villian straight out of the Final Fantasy games.

I too saw his Ring of Fire version. I thought it sucked. The moaning was lame
It did suck. Worse song he sang on that show. IMO
I don't even know who played Marius, but singer he WAS. Russell Crowe was probably miscast. Not horrible or embarrassing, but ultimately forgettable. The blonde who played Cosette was meh as well, especially since Marius chose her over the stunningly beautiful Éponie who had THE solo of the movie.
"This world is a whore."
While I could really give a crap about the movie OR Adam Lambert for that matter, I just want to point out that a handful of the main characters and a large portion of the ensemble cast were actually award winning and seasoned Broadway musical performers. He should do better research before throwing shade. But I will agree that Amanda Seyfried's warbling was hella annoying.
OMG Anne sings in this movie? Thanks for the heads up, I will avoid it like the plague!

Is he that great a singer? (I don't know.)
======================
He's actually pretty good:

I'm not sure where he got the idea that it was an opera. (That's not right, is it?) The whole point of it is to be a good overall film - I'm sure it would jar a lot more if they forwent actors and actresses in favour of professional singers, than the other way round.

Dirk, like my sister said "But Russell is in a band and he sings". I had to throw a dinner roll at her.
-----------------------------------------
That's the key point right here. Just because you sing in a band doesn't mean you can sing in musicals. Different genres have different disciplines. Jackman at least KNOWS how to sing musicals, he has a decent (not great) voice and understands how to present himself. I'll give Lambert the b.o.t.d. on this one.

I saw this last night, Hugh was really good, he can sing AND act and I think he ran away with the movie. Anne was alright but she isn't actually in it that long so I didn't find her to have that much of an impact..shrug, she was a whatever.
Russell cannot, I repeat, CAN.NOT sing. He was really the only one I found to be miscast, I was embarrassed for him every time he sang. It was awful.
Samantha Barks also bothered me the entire time she was on the screen. I don't know why, she just did.
The set/costumes were beautiful. I did find the movie to be about an hour too long, but it was good overall.
So MAdam here can suck it.

I just listened to him singing Ring of Fire as well. The way he sang the last part "burn, burn, burn" and then started moaning makes me think he was inspired by last nights orgy.
I just checked out the Idol performance that J. Harvey linked to - he does have a great voice and I kinda liked his unconventional rendition of "Ring of Fire".
The best part though was Randy Travis' nervous giggling. Hahahaa...he didn't know quite what to make of Glambert.

Well, it has gotten middling reviews.
Seriously, though, I don't like Adam or Le Miz, so I don't really have a dog in this fight.
