Eponine is my favorite character in the musical "Les Miserables and I can't imagine Taylor Swift singing "On My Own". I like her songs "A Place in this World" and "The Best Day". But if she could only sing like Frances Ruffelle or Lea Salonga, she would be fitted for the role. But she is not. Samantha Barks is the one who can play it well. I think Taylor would just make a fool of herself is she play Eponine. I'm a fan of Taylor Swift, but I'm also a Les Mis fanatic.
Forget Taylor Swift! Have you not heard? The legendary Cameron Mackintosh himself has just announced on stage after a show on the national tour of Oliver that Samantha Barks will be playing the role of Eponine! :D
I hate how they're going to make this movie very "hollywood". I hope she shows Hollywood how the West End do it.
Now all they need is Alfie Boe, Ramin Karimloo, Earl Carpenter, Katie Hall and John Owen Jones and we got ourself a movie!
@awesomeannie123 I don't think you understand Hollywood's primary job. Show BUSINESS. Taylor Swift has this thing called an agent that gets her jobs. All the agent has to do is waltz into the casting directors office and say something like "I represent Taylor Swift. If you put her in your movie every girl under 18 will see it." Then the casting director says something along the lines of "Taylor Swift = money? She's hired."
i honestly don't like lea michele, but she deserved the part. she was in les miz, she's a trained singer, and she's a marvelous actress. i mean, it's not exactly taylor's fault.... what is she supposed to do? not take the part? but i think that she's a horrible choice for the role. absolutely horrible. ughh just imaging her singing on my own makes me want to crawl into a hole.
@courtneyluvsglee haha yes i realize that now. when i wrote the comment, taylor was still rumored to have the part. honestly, i'm just happy someone worthy got the role.
@ForeverEJ21 Uggh same, I began protesting on Twitter about it XP (cause I have no life like that) they just need Lea Salonga in it and it will be perfect :D
@ciaraisadinosaur I hope so... I mean, it'd be great if this were an underdog story about a girl who proved 'em all wrong. Too bad I have very little faith that will happen. :(
@misslambertluver I know right, the people that says she will do a good job doesn't even know who Eponine is, what Les Miz is about, they barely know anything about it. They are just die-hard TS fans.
The other cast are okay and I bet they will do a good job but Taylor...?!!!
@MsCittycat19 yeah you so right! i LOVEE this book/musical sooo much, and Eponine is a marvelous character..and to be honest, i like TS a lot, she's cute, sweet and a good role-model. but when i wonder in the directors have actually read it! Eponine isn't supposed to be "Cute" or "sweet" she's supposed to be poor, street trash who is brave, loyal and noble! ....i realllyyy hope she doesn't ruin the whole movie! :P
@misslambertluver Agreed, I just don't think she has the right look or voice for it. Sure, she will be trained but she doesn't have the right voice for it. I can't imagine her singing "On my own".
Lea would have been a much better choice and I'm saying this as a fan of Les Miz and not as a fan of either of them, or an hater because I don't really know any of them well enough to say I don't like them or that I love them. I judge by the voice here.
@GirlWithATopHat Agreed, what's wrong with a no-namer when you are most certainly going to find what you are looking for and someone that actually fits.
Now all the Taylor die-hard fans will go and see the movie because of her and judge every Eponine there ever was/will be and compare them to Taylor, that is sad. She doesn't fit at all. I have no problem with her as a person or anything but I have a problem with her being Eponine.
@MsCittycat19 exactly. Everyone who thinks Taylor would do a good Eponine should open a book called "Les Miserables" or at leaaaast try to watch some Les miserables videos and understand Eponine's passion
@michellekalem This. is TRUTH!!!! By casting her as eponine, the directors are disrespecting her role!....altho i think i would be annoyed at lea michelle as Eponine too
@xXSweetAmbrosiaXx Are you kidding? She is absolutely gorgeous! I bet every girl wants to be half as beautiful as her! And if you think she can't sing and that she has absolutely "no vocal range" than you should watch her cover of 'Run' (Spectacular HD) She's an amazing singer.
Hey. Keep in mind..... SHE WRITES SONGS ABOUT HATERS.So, I hope you are happy. Imma go get all my SWIFTIES and have them KICK YO sorry BUTT! Oh, and PTO THE FRIEKEN S. Taylor Swiftt DOES cuss, Listen to Cold as You? Bad word, most of her songs on first albuim? Damn Damn Damn. SO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT and STOP this bullshit! OKAY SHES CASTED !!!! ALL U PEOPLE. BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET THE FUCK OVER IT! SWIFTIES FOREVER!!!!!
@kkesha22 I was not aware that I am a "hater", lol, since I've actually said before that I like some of her stuff, you know, because she's a singer, and usually I like singers when I listen to their albums, but I do not agree with putting anyone in a movie, no matter who they are, based on solely their singing and pay no attention whatsoever on their acting background.
Look up her version of Tonight. She has absolutely no vocal range and can't even hit the lowest "tonight", and that's AFTER editing. She absolutely murdered it, and not in a good way.
you are quite a charming actress and i thought your spoof 'on my own' is probs better than anything swift and some autotune wizards can do with it. you should have been eponine!
@awesomeannie123 Taylor Swift actually has been in movies before (e.g. Valentine's Day) so people could form their own opinions of her acting based on that.
Well. That was ... suprisingly entertaining. Like you I actually like T-swizzle but I just can't picture her in this role. I guess she got it because of who she is rather than raw talent.
You sound like you're a good singer when you're not singing like Taylor Swift! :)
But yeah I don't dislike her normally but she just ruins this musical. I might just bring my ipod into the movie theater and play one of the other versions when she sings On my Own...
@ekwong6 HOLY CRAP GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking about going to get more popcorn the second On My Own starts playing lol. But your idea is MUCH better!!!! :D
No, I actually like some of her music but just because she's a singer doesn't mean that she is good enough to be in les miz, and especially play Eponine, unlike the casting of Hugh Jackman as he was a stage actor and musical theatre performer before he became a movie star
Your not T Swizzle:(
