Is it just me, or was Amanda Seyfried by MILES the best singer in this? Yea sure, people like Meryl at least had even a little vocal ability, but Amanda was just above and beyond all else? It's a good thing we'll get to hear her again in Les Miserables, but I seriously think this girl should consider adding "singer" to her list of talents, or at least make an album or something! What do u guys think?
shareI agree, she hit those high notes perfectly.

I'm not denying her talent, but as we saw in Les Miserables, she is a little shaky sometimes, and I think the reason she sounded so amazing in this movie was because everyone else was soooo much worse.
shareIf you are referring to the shakiness in her voice, I think that is what people like most about her voice. I know I do. I hope she does more musicals or at least come out with a CD.
shareShe almost Ruined Les Mis for me, so shrill.
shareI thought she was pretty good, better than fair, in Les Mis.
shareEh. I could take her or leave her.
I think this is the episode of Three's Company where there is some kind of misunderstanding.
I think it is just you (and a few others). Amanda has good possibilities but as a pure singer she isn't that good. I think with proper vocal training she could become pretty good.
Yes, I am a musician and a singer, and I do know the difference.

Make a choice, to take a chance, to make a difference.
I'm a singer and a musician, too, and I agree with TxMike. She has the raw talent but needs a lot of coaching.
I think Christine Baranski was the stand-out singer, though. Everyone else in the cast should stick to their day jobs.
Amanda made the film for me. Her eyes radiated when she smiled and her youth was very strong as was her voice. Not too happy with Streeps' vocals but she was OK.
shareChristine roots are on the NY stage in more musicals that I can think of. Meryl was very good. But, Amanda is my girl, we are from the same town and went to the same high school but not at the same time. She was 3 when I graduated.
shareHer voice was really good in this, but surprisingly high and squeaky at times in Les Mis, possibly because she was trying too hard.
I'm surprised she hasn't already made an album. It might be due to the corruption and greed inherent in the music industry, but I doubt it. One can dream.

We all thought her singing was great
shareJust loverly. Many more Musicals from Amanda, please.
(Streep, however, is a terrific singer.)
