@pat1947100 they did it because they want the money that comes with casting taylor swift >< it's kind of a major insult to les mis though~ i don't know who's in charge of making these decisions but they're terrible people ... haha
@themegster13 yeah, they replaced her recently :] (by recently i mean a couple of weeks ago i think... i don't remember when i heard about it) anyway, that's why i'm not so outraged about the movie :]
Maybe Taylor Swift will nail the part. But she is not how I picture Eponine. If they countryify this song I will die. But if the people who are making the movie actually know what they're doing than we just have to trust them. If not than it will be a bad movie anyway and we can all mock it and be sad together.
"Lea Salonga pronounces her words really weird"---have you been fully listening @ mollison?? Lea sang it loud and clear compared to others. She got clarity!!! Clean your ears will you?
Taylor Swift got picked because she nailed her audition somehow. She maybe a country music star but you guys can never know if she can belt out high notes. Maybe she got it in her, so do not judge right away! Example! Carrie Underwood--- country music star but can belt out high notes!!!
Lea Michele is better than Taylor Swift. But I think Evan Rachel Wood has a good voice for this role. There is no news that Taylor Swift has officially signed for the role. So there is still a chance that this movie could be saved.
@Soooooooooooonicable GIVE IT A CHANCE. SERIOUSLY. What is wrong with people. You don't know how the movie will be until IT'S OUT. I bet you will be sitting there and give the movie applause when it ends....
@Soooooooooooonicable i know how you feel. I've been waiting YEARS for a movie adaptation, and they go and do this. *sigh* im just hoping itll spur a broadway revival and ill go see it on broadway instead of in theaters.
@dianaperez79 She's not even singing this song. She's singing that shitty "IIII'M THE OOOONNNLLY ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS YOU. WHY CAN'T YOU SEEEEEEEE YOU BELONG WITH MEEEEEEE." -.- Grrrrr.
@dianaperez79 i'm sorry, but i can't hear you over 20 million album sales, 33 million downloads, numerous number one singles, entertainer of the x3, over 100 awards... seriously, give it a chance. she will do amazing.
@felicia94fearless I know she's famous and popular and she has sold a lot of albums i actually have a couple of her songs and she's a nice girl but her vocal range is not for a song in Les Mis.. i saw her videos live in the grammys and concerts. I'm sorry but they made a mistake. Broadway has a lot of talented singers and she actually does not deserve this part. Les Mis is a Legend in Musicals and needs the best and she is not the best. Sorry, i respect your opinion but do not agree with you.
I have to say Samantha's version is more emotional. I actually believe an idiot like Marius is worth falling for when I see her face and here her emotions. Just my opinion...
Lea Salonga is the best Eponine I've been able to find. Eponine is supposed to be tough and street smart, but sweet at the same time. Lea's richness, substance, and versatility portray that beautifully.
goose bumps everytime i see this, and can watch this over and over again.. Don't even compare this to Lea Michele, Lea salonga has better pipes and more credentials than Lea Michelle.
Lea Salonga is my FAVORITE Eponine. The others are great but with her I can really feel the emotion behind the song. She has a very powerful voice, I adore her and I'm so envious of her all at the same time!
Lea Michele is great, but you really cant compare these two, Lea Salogna is brilliant in this song, her voice is absolutly beautiful! I'm doing this song for the audition for my middle school musical, Beauty and the Beast! I have no idea how I can do justice on this song! She is amazing!
I thought I dream a dream was powerful, but this is a beautiful, powerful and moving piece. Lea is brilliant and her voice and feelings are perfect. Can't stop listening.
@staticnationofficial wow. you are sooooo fortuneate. I would have done anything to have been able to see this concert. maybe not. i was one at the time.
@Msdlf100 In ways, Michele is sounding 'fuller' than Salonga at her young age -- notice in the finale forte hit (on the word "known"), Michele sings it w/ a full natural voice, while Salonga does it in Falsetto(!)
Is this Lea Michele?
