I absolutely love this movie. It's perfect in every way and I will slit the throat of anyone who insults or in any way implies that Johnny cannot sing. That is all.
Johanna is sung by the characters Anthony Hope (first), Sweeney Todd (second), Beggar Woman (third), and later Johanna (should be last but not sure about the movie version)
AHH I LOVE THIS PART OF THE MOVIE!!! IT'S SOO WRONG!!! JOHNNY"S IN HIS OWN WORLD SINGING AND SLICING THROATS!!! AND IT CAUGHT PEOPLE OFF GUARD (especially me)!! ahh man and i love how he sings this song, he sounds so good I wish the accual clip was on here but its in the previews! This movie definitly has it's sick hilarious moments and this was one of them.
OMG!...it doesnt even sound like him....WOW he has an amazing voice for someone who a couple of years ago couldnt sing to save his life.......aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh johnny roxs>>>>my sox
I love this movie! Johnny Depp is the MAN! This song is wicked. The end was shocking, sad and unexpected! Wasn't it? This movie is in my Forever List. Haha. =D
And in terms of actors/singers argument...thats just bullshit. There are PLENTY of people who can both act AND sing well. See Matthew Brodrick, Nathan Lane, Jack Black (seriously hes a REALLY good singer) etc...
Are you saying that Matthew Brodrick, Nathan Lane or Jack Black would have had the impact that Depp did - it's really laughable to imagine them in this role - only Depp could have pulled this off - they have no edge or intensity.
OK, so who else could pull off Sweeney Todd in a movie. Someone said that Jack Black had a better singing voice. Tell me who, other than Johnny Depp do you think would do the part justice? So what if other actors like Jack Black can sing, I can't imagine anyone out there other than Depp doing this.
the music is in a minor key. major keys (which are what you're used to hearing, probably) make you feel happy. minor keys, like this one, make you feel sad, scared, etc. the notes are right.
you lot clapped at the end...did you see it in theatres? I was going to appluad(as you should with musicals) when I saw it but in my theatre I would've been like..banned...or something..o_o;;
they all had great voices. i thought helena [who plays mrs.lovett] had such a relaxing voice. as with johnny, he can really sing! it also helped that the blood was completely unrealistic, but when he cut signor pirelli's throat..that part was disgusting haha.
I saw it with 2 guys (I am a girl) and one fo them was so amazed because I was laughing half the time. It was so great... and the goryness didnt really get to me that much.
Hehe. I loved when Johhny was slitting all their throats. <3 It was the funniest thing in the wordd.. The blood was all splurt splurt! out their throats x3 Ahh Johhny. You make me smile <3
Love to see all of them in the stage-version,in the West End,Broadway wherever. Laura Michelle Kelly (Lucy/Beggar woman)has a great voice and it's a very demanding piece of singing!
This movie was so good. I laughed so much! And the blood was awesome. It was so fake, but that just made the movie even better! I never realized how good Johnny Depp's voice was!
Anyone remember the boy's name? Jamie Campbell something....The one singing "Johanna"....Honestly, they all had amazing voices, especially Johnny. Gorgeous duets with Alan Rickman...<333
Me and my friend kept laughing...I felt so bad but seriously...he was just slitting throats and looking so calm and serene...we were like...I hope that never happens to me.
ugh! i saw it today and it was A-mazing! this was seriously my favorite song. I love it when jonny's all"oh, johanna blah blah blah"; meanwhile he's slitting throats. Everyone's like "Eww, he's slitting people's throats!", and I'm like "But it's to an upbeat tuuune!"
Oh, goodness. This was my favorite part of the movie! I mean, the happy, up-beat music, and the next thing you know, Sweeney slits a throat and they tumble down to the cellar XD It was hilarious for some reason...
For what it is, his singing is ok. Mainly because it is a movie and he doesn't really need to know how to sing strongly and project b/c they have high-tech mic's for that. At least he doesn't sing out of his nose like some people. I am just sad they cut Johanna. I like the three part harmony crazyness that normally happens there.

the fun thing about this is, since there is no picture, you get to imagine it for yourself. It's especially fun if you've seen the stage production, cause then you're comparing the stage to the film and trying to think how Burton will make it work.
I can't wait for this movie, it's going to be amazing
Doesn't it just burn you up that they had the audacity to cut the entire beginning of the story, "Attend the Tale -- The Ballad of Sweeney Todd?" What were they thinking???
Neither does spelling sense sence lol. They were shooting the Ballad of Sweeney Todd and all the reprises but Depps daughter was sick. He couldnt be at shooting so he couldnt do Sweeneys part at the end of the song. Originally the song was supposed to be in it but later was cut for lack of time
haba haba he is hot,sexy,perfect singer and he propaly he wont agry to this but the best dancer you go johnny depp HOPE I MEET YOU SOON!!!!! love atenea fernandez
I was just saying, the title of the song is Johanna-quartet. Its supposed to have Sweeney, Anthony, Johanna and the Beggar woman singing. Johanna sings "I'll marry Anthony sunday, anthony sunday" and so on. I'm just suprised that they wouldn't include that.
I think they cut out Johanna's part in this song since it's not as easy to show all four people singing at once on the screen as it is on stage, y'know?
They aren't laughing at Johnny's voice..During Johanna he is doing something else other than singing ;-)...That's why this is one of my favorite songs/scenes...Johnny may not be as good as the original but he brings something unique to it..The only thing I am worried about is Helena. I know she sings a little bit; corpse bride. But, not as well as Patti in my opinion. But, I can't effing wait for this...
Somewhere around here, there's a really bad recording of "Epiphany" from the movie that just sends chills down my spine, and actually, Helena does a fairly decent job. True, she's no Patti (and thank GOD, no Angela Lansbury), but this is a movie adaptation, and it doesn't have to be broadway-esque to be amazing. :)
She just seems a little "thin" but I am a huge supporter of Tim Burton, and I very much trust his direction. If I were to choose any director for this adaptation, it would only be Tim Burton. Part of me was hoping that they'd bring something different than the musical, and it sounds like they do. I ain't bashin` ;-)
Truely, I think Helena would've made a better Beggar Woman. When I first heard she was Mrs. Lovett was I like, "...Really?" I'm sure she'll be really good, but she would probably be a better Beggar Woman. Then Toby wouldn't ahve to be so young (even though he's absolutely adorable. ^^)
Bwaygirl1234 - I'm not entirely sure about the movie adaptation, but from the clips I've seen Sweeney is slitting the throats of various customers that walk in for a shave as he sings this soothing song about his daughter. It's humorous for the irony, I guess. :)
....thats not the point of a musical. Its a shame if we were to start making excuses for shit like this. No offense to you man, just stating we shouldnt lower the bar for singers
We're not. I acknowledge that Depp is not George Hearn or Len Cariou, but I also acknowledge that his acting will likely more than make up for his singing. I have never seen him play a part to my dissatisfaction.
but still, it pisses me off that movie MUSICALS constantly skimp on the whole MUSIC part. the only movie musicals i have been satisfied with have been chicago and tenacious d and the pick of destiny, both had excellent music and excellent (or almost excellent) singers who actually, heres a thought, COULD ACTUALLY SING!!
to bad singers who can sing are such a fucking rarity in the movies. Everything now adays is autotuned shit. Its unbelievable how deaf the public is, do they even hear the computerization of the voices? its not human!
sorry for the rant, i have a large chip on my shoulder :)
Well... Johnny's voice wasn't computerized. Granted, it could've been made better with technology, but if they'd done that then you'd be getting on their case for doing THAT.
Besides, I think the problem lies in trying to find ACTORS who can sing. It's a movie, so the acting has to be good as well as the music. In a musical they can have a bad or overly dramatic actor singing, but it's WAY more noticeable on the big screen.
no its autotuned and sounds "computerized" much of the time. Perhaps he may be able to sing in tune in real life, but directors simply slap on autotune now adays and its infuriatingly annoying (see: rent, hairspray and just about every other newer movie musical). And yes, his voice WAS made "better" by technology, I know exactly what they are doing, im a recording artist. They can easily change pitch, timber, tone, vibrato, anything with computers.
Now I think that perhaps many of the actors COULD have sang, but for some insane reason people (in both movies and music, see anything by disney) all the voices are tuned and changed to shit. Im disheartened and suprised that nobody is as pissed as I am.
And in terms of actors/singers argument...thats just bullshit. There are PLENTY of people who can both act AND sing well. See Matthew Brodrick, Nathan Lane, Jack Black (seriously hes a REALLY good singer) etc...
Actually, the digitization isn't a problem here; the voices aren't messed with. You're just hearing a really, really bad recording. It sounds like someone held a cheap microphone up to a speaker playing the music.
They might be messed with, but you can't tell from this recording.
negative sir, go listen to the other clips that have been put out, digitization IS a problem. however the guy playing antony seems to have a good voice, itd be a shame if he is super digitalized like everyone else.
I can't stand digitization of voices, it sounds so unnatural and is unpleasant to listen to, I can barely listen to the radio anymore (and I rarely do) But I'm still pretty excited to see this show! Not because of Mr. Depp, just because I freaking LOVE Sondheim!
As a theatre kid, i know that in a lot of musicals they give up people who have amazing voices for people who dont for roles. Directors look for a certain look and attitude and adjust the music to go with the voice.
Depp has a mad look to him and he is certainly creppy. His voice is very harsh and hurt which is very similar to the character he is playing.
But I do agree they coulve been another person playing the role.
Better than I expected. The director and cast talent will make up for the singing missfires. I am sure it will come out expressive, spicy and well crafted... far better results than the dreadfull Phantom of the Opera movie...
I'm a little bit more reassured by this.. but not entirely... I really do enjoy the way he says 'Johanna'. Not really sure why, though. I really -really- like the way the beggar woman sounds. Thanks for posting :D
Most musical movie actors end up autotuned, unfortunately. It's irritating, but it doesn't surprise me. Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler and Rosario Dawson's autotuning bugged me a lot more.
this movie is gonna be sweet but it's doomed to be ruined by girls/people who shop at hot topic, just like the nightmare before christmas was. just to let those kinds of people read this before the movie comes out: you're not going to be the only people to see it... IT'S NOT YOURS.
Oh, you never know. Maybe it's good to expose the emo kids to musicals. It might foster a love of musicals. They can stop cutting themselves and go try out for the damn play instead.
I'm a Sondheim freak, so I'm kind of salivating that Burton is directing some Sondheim. You think Burton would consider taking on Into The Woods?
As a middle school teacher I can tell you that my emo students are very excited about seeing the movie and as inner city kids it's good for them to get exposure to musicals. Give the emo kids a break.
In agreement. There is no one like Sondheim. All of his musicals are different, yet engrossing and lovely. I can't even tell you how many times I've watched Sunday In The Park With George. God, Sondheim, how I love you and everything you touch.
where did you get this audio from?

....thats not the point of a musical. Its a shame if we were to start making excuses for shit like this. No offense to you man, just stating we shouldnt lower the bar for singers
ddrfreak787 4 years ago
We're not. I acknowledge that Depp is not George Hearn or Len Cariou, but I also acknowledge that his acting will likely more than make up for his singing. I have never seen him play a part to my dissatisfaction.

but still, it pisses me off that movie MUSICALS constantly skimp on the whole MUSIC part. the only movie musicals i have been satisfied with have been chicago and tenacious d and the pick of destiny, both had excellent music and excellent (or almost excellent) singers who actually, heres a thought, COULD ACTUALLY SING!!
ddrfreak787 4 years ago
to bad singers who can sing are such a fucking rarity in the movies. Everything now adays is autotuned shit. Its unbelievable how deaf the public is, do they even hear the computerization of the voices? its not human!
sorry for the rant, i have a large chip on my shoulder :)
ddrfreak787 4 years ago
Well... Johnny's voice wasn't computerized. Granted, it could've been made better with technology, but if they'd done that then you'd be getting on their case for doing THAT.
Besides, I think the problem lies in trying to find ACTORS who can sing. It's a movie, so the acting has to be good as well as the music. In a musical they can have a bad or overly dramatic actor singing, but it's WAY more noticeable on the big screen.

no its autotuned and sounds "computerized" much of the time. Perhaps he may be able to sing in tune in real life, but directors simply slap on autotune now adays and its infuriatingly annoying (see: rent, hairspray and just about every other newer movie musical). And yes, his voice WAS made "better" by technology, I know exactly what they are doing, im a recording artist. They can easily change pitch, timber, tone, vibrato, anything with computers.
ddrfreak787 4 years ago
Now I think that perhaps many of the actors COULD have sang, but for some insane reason people (in both movies and music, see anything by disney) all the voices are tuned and changed to shit. Im disheartened and suprised that nobody is as pissed as I am.
And in terms of actors/singers argument...thats just bullshit. There are PLENTY of people who can both act AND sing well. See Matthew Brodrick, Nathan Lane, Jack Black (seriously hes a REALLY good singer) etc...
ddrfreak787 4 years ago
Actually, the digitization isn't a problem here; the voices aren't messed with. You're just hearing a really, really bad recording. It sounds like someone held a cheap microphone up to a speaker playing the music.
They might be messed with, but you can't tell from this recording.
TheMadLutist 4 years ago 2
negative sir, go listen to the other clips that have been put out, digitization IS a problem. however the guy playing antony seems to have a good voice, itd be a shame if he is super digitalized like everyone else.
ddrfreak787 4 years ago
Yes yes.
I can't stand digitization of voices, it sounds so unnatural and is unpleasant to listen to, I can barely listen to the radio anymore (and I rarely do) But I'm still pretty excited to see this show! Not because of Mr. Depp, just because I freaking LOVE Sondheim!

As a theatre kid, i know that in a lot of musicals they give up people who have amazing voices for people who dont for roles. Directors look for a certain look and attitude and adjust the music to go with the voice.
Depp has a mad look to him and he is certainly creppy. His voice is very harsh and hurt which is very similar to the character he is playing.
But I do agree they coulve been another person playing the role.
hanakuro99 4 years ago
ill admit he is half convincing when he is speak singing. But otherwise he is MUCH to poppy and not intense for the part

Better than I expected. The director and cast talent will make up for the singing missfires. I am sure it will come out expressive, spicy and well crafted... far better results than the dreadfull Phantom of the Opera movie...

ddrfreak787 4 years ago
Most musical movie actors end up autotuned, unfortunately. It's irritating, but it doesn't surprise me. Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler and Rosario Dawson's autotuning bugged me a lot more.

this movie is gonna be sweet but it's doomed to be ruined by girls/people who shop at hot topic, just like the nightmare before christmas was. just to let those kinds of people read this before the movie comes out: you're not going to be the only people to see it... IT'S NOT YOURS.

Oh, you never know. Maybe it's good to expose the emo kids to musicals. It might foster a love of musicals. They can stop cutting themselves and go try out for the damn play instead.
I'm a Sondheim freak, so I'm kind of salivating that Burton is directing some Sondheim. You think Burton would consider taking on Into The Woods?

In agreement. There is no one like Sondheim. All of his musicals are different, yet engrossing and lovely. I can't even tell you how many times I've watched Sunday In The Park With George. God, Sondheim, how I love you and everything you touch.
