I mean, the only thing I really blame Crowe for is TAKING THE ROLE HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN OFFERED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
...Sorry for shouting, I guess that bothers me more than I realized.

...& there was so much to like about it! Including but not limited to Colm Wilkinson's stunt-casting, Ann Hathaway's (not very surprisingly) excellent performance, a welcome-to-heaven ending 100% less-creepy than the traditional staging,.... But yeah, javert gets enough screen time it's hard to watch through his scenes.

For some reason this reminds me in part of Neil Young getting sued by his label for (among other things) using a vocoder on _Transformer_. (Framed by the label as 'not sounding like Neil Young. Which is hilarious to me because as a high school kid at the time it felt like a rare example of a middle-aged rocker actually doing something interesting instead of pandering to the kids.)

@Buster As an effect it’s pretty obvious, but when trying to sound natural it is still possible to hear it, but the number of people who can are quite few (as in you have to learn, not as in you have to be a super human).

Also depends on how bad the original is, and how willing they are to do retakes.

Also the people who can sing will burst out in song randomly. Jack Black can sing for sure. 😀
