My wife's final review of the live Beauty and The Beast: "I hate it. I hate everything about it."

Posted by Shaun (aka bigshaunu) Jun 2 '17, 10:54

BatB is her fave Disney movie, so someone had their childhood ruined.

Also getting people who can sing for singing roles is *MUCH* different (ie. fucking shitty and terrible) than a singer singing.

FWIW: Belle's walkthrough story at Magic Kingdom is very well done. - Strongbad Jun 2, 10:58 1
- Big time. I was a Suit of Armour bro. Oldest daughter was the wardrobe :) -- nm - Shaun Jun 2, 11:01
To your last line, the difference between Audra McDonald and Luke Evans singing vs the others was night and day. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 2, 10:56 16
- imma have to disagree strongly with you there. He was one of the few leads who could deliver the score. - Diva Jun 2, 11:06 3
  - Oh -- I meant Audra and him on one side; the rest on the other. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 11:07 2
    - Mucinex and stuff. -- (edited) - Diva Jun 2, 11:20 1
      - I don't like his voice as Gaston's even though he may have been technically great. - Shaun Jun 2, 11:22
- Evans didn't have the power to carry the singing parts, imo. -- nm - Shaun Jun 2, 11:00 11
  - i respectfully disagree. -- (link) - Diva Jun 2, 11:21 [Backboard] 1
    - word, loved him -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 11:22
  - I thought he was the best singer in the movie. -- nm - Inigo Jun 2, 11:09
  - We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. His Kill the Beast was strong as hell imo. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 2, 11:03 6
    - Maybe, on the other hand "As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!" is awful compared to the original. - Shaun Jun 2, 11:07 5
      - Richard White was an opera singer. It's 2 different styles of singing that will not produce the same sort of sound. White's voice was rich, but Evans - Diva Jun 2, 11:24 4
        
        It's the pitfall of having actors sing instead of having singers sing. - Shaun Jun 2, 11:28 3
        
        I didn't know before this, but Evans was a long-time theatre guy turned action star. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 11:32
        
        But isn't Luke Evans a theatre vet of big London musicals? -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 11:30 1
        
        yes. Bigly. -- nm - Diva Jun 2, 11:42
  - ?? -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 11:01
Well, not ruined - because the original is still the original. Just hugely disappointed, I guess. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 10:55
