Here is Taylor singing one of her songs live:
Unless she has been really holding back in attempts to sound more commercial, I just do not think her voice can do this part justice. She has a lovely voice and writes great songs, but her depth and range is not quite up to par with a classic broadway role like Eponine. And if she is in fact of capable of singing such parts, why have you been hiding your talents Taylor? If your voice truly is strong enough to do the role of Eponine justice, why are you limiting yourself to country/pop songs?
Anyways, I have been musing about these things lately and I really feel the need to vent because I love Les Miserables (proof here! plus I have seen it on the West End 3 times). It is my favorite musical and the book is wonderful. I have been hoping for a film adaptation of the musical for quite some time, and I believe those brave enough to attempt to make the movie need to cast only those capable of doing the part well.
***I have been sitting on this post for awhile. I think my heart was too distraught at the thought of a poor version of this movie. I have an update here. I certainly hope this is true because this girl can certainly do Eponine justice seeing as she has played the role both on Broadway and in the 25th anniversary concert. This certain put my mind at ease, and I am now once again looking forward to seeing this film.
