I can't believe how bad this looks: "Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo Sang Live on ‘Wicked’ Set After Telling Their Director: ‘F— the Pre-Records. We’re Going Live’". It's in two parts, too, so when it bombs, just like Cats did, they can't claim it was "exceptional circumstances" this time... (archive.is)

Well yeah, they're all frauds. The guy who invented auto tune is low key one of the destroyers of civilization as we knew it.

Didn't Les Miserable do that years ago? The one with Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe?

Yup. But there weren't any "stronk black wahmen" in that (well, at least, not as major characters), and in fact, I don't think they race or gender-swapped anyone in that version, so...

That makes this "revolutionary", somehow.

Singing live was just the start of the issues with Les Miserables.

This video does a pretty good deep dive from a music nerd perspective:

Critic reaction video (pretty cringe and try-hard, but anyway) on the trailer for this itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6W9nIuSviU

Very apt description

Yeah, I only linked to it because every other "review video" was heaping glowing praise on this polished turd (naturally), and I didn't want to funnel clicks to the trailer itself, lol. But yeah, the vid is hard to watch, I must admit. And that's coming from someone who enjoys throwing the weight of the thesaurus around, sometimes, lol...

Bam, I am going to remind you that you can't polish a turd.

But you can roll it in glitter!

Or in this case they just fed Arianna a few pounds of glitter and sold the results.

I’m confused what the issue is, is their singing awful, or what exactly? Or is this just the raceswap stuff, because I read the article and missed the point.
