Why the Music in Les Misérables (2012) is Worse than you Thought

Video Description

Do you hear the people sing? Me neither Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sideways440 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sideways440 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Sideways440 Sources and Links: "Beyond the Barricade: Adapting Les Misérables for the Cinema" by Ian Shapiro I only found this source after going through my music library after going to grad school, well after I'd made this video. Had I had access to it while making this video I naturally would have cited it because it's such an amazing source on the production for this film. Sorry to Ian Shapiro, and I wish finding academic sources while outside of academia was easier and not behind a paywall "Beyond the Barricade: Adapting Les Misérables for the Cinema" by Ian Shapiro Mackintosh's comment on the rights to Les Mis https://www.contactmusic.com/les-miserables/news/les-miserables-hits-hollywood Fantastic document listing the leitmotifs in Les Mis https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/11525740/use-of-leitmotif-in-les-miserables-notes-analysis-essays-for- Great post about Les Mis being symmetrical https://mdn.chanvrerie.net/has-anyone-else-noticed-how-symmetrical-les-mis-is__o_t__t_70295.html Russel Crowe on Shazam! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmUwJ74hMBU New York Vocal Coaching, an absolutely AMAZING YouTube channel that you should sub to if you're at all interested in Vocal Tech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rfwlXnRbzY Russel Crowe discussing his audition process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV2F5tZvHFw The French version of "Do You Hear The People Sing?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G95vcrzAGk The cast warming up before the 85th Oscars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfZgOV4UHBU Erik Olsson's post about Bernadette Peters and Sunday in the Park with George https://twitter.com/erikragnar731/status/1272925565813698563 Hugh Jackman discussing his weight loss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u7tyA6jtWY Anne Hathaway's interview about her singing experience on set https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut8dzAUnDp4 Kevin Lynch's FANTASTIC video about "Bring Him Home" - I cannot recommend his channel enough, he's AMAZING https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPQrE5UfoUQ Crowe and Jackman singing live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n51PtM7sEVU Jackman singing live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFqppLPt_u8 For posterity, just in case you don't believe me when I say that musicals are all about speaking - singing - dancing https://www.pbs.org/thinktank/transcript1261.html if I forgot anything please do not hesitate to let me know I want to be sure that everyone gets properly credited!
