Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe - The Confrontation, Les Miserables Live at Joe's Pub 

We get it you all saw the same video essay

@@jonoaks9834 so

And don't forget they were singing it live while filming instead of the smart decision of adr

They did I think that’s why they did it

@@armenianplyits clearly a joke

Think you should google les Mis

russell sounds like a deeper norm lewis and hugh sounds like alfie but smoother

amazing what you can do when you're not torturing your bodies

They are singing just like in the movie

Just like all the singing while crying going on in Les Mis but now they're happy at last

It's because they don't do flawless vocals.

Because he wasn’t forced to sing full throttle for take after take after take. There’s a reason why musicals on film record the songs on an audio track separately from the live action.

Because Tom Hooper shouldn't be allowed to direct musicals.

​@@phoebegilliland8897 couldn't agree more.

Russell Crowe's career started as Eddie/Dr. Scott in Rocky Horror Show. He's a theater guy. Les Miserables was directed by an incompetent guy who didn't understand musicals.

Maybe because he don't have to do the swordfight while singing

The movie had a ton of production issues. Which led to their perfomances being off due to countless problems. This set-up is much much simpler where they can focus on performing while ACTUALLY hearing the music this time. 😂

I agree he does sound better. They both look like they are having a lot of fun.

@@gaylepetrie5851 I know right!? I love it!!! :)

The production on the Les Mis moviewas a disaster. They're lucky no one permanently destroyed their vocal chords. Not that the cast was a brilliant grouping of West End geniuses to being with, other than Samantha Barks.

@@morrigan908 I don’t know about that… Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tevit, and Hugh Jackman were pretty incredible as well.

Lmao fr they sound great here

How dare you! 😉Russel is from New Zealand!

I know he's from New Zealand. But he's lived in Australia for years, and Australia made him what he is today. Call him an honorary Aussie then!

@@PeppigUndBilligis there a difference? New Z or Australia. For me the most amazing is that they are trying to act French people

There is a difference but Aus & NZ are brothers and sisters ❤

I thought the live singing was a fantastic change. The singing feels real and authentic, unlike lip-synced movie musicals. What I disliked was that Jackman and Crowe tried too hard to "act" the songs instead of singing them, so their vocal support was shallow, and a lot of the lyrics had to be "talked" instead of sung, and others got chocked off because of too much emoting. They could have sung just like this during live takes, but they were too focused on chewing up the scenery with their "acting", especially Jackman.

If you noticed, Alan Doyle and Scott Grimes were there as well.

But on the up side..we get to enjoy it. And revel in it!!!!

He's my baby ❤
