I could see it tbh. Can she sing?

[topismine]

I mean she does is Mama Mia

[rhcp]

she sang in mamma mia and les miserables

[theactualworst]

I got 5 min into a Mama Mia movie like 10 years ago and couldn’t do it lol. And that Les Mis movie was just a nightmare I had, I’m sure of it.

[bsfan]

Seyfried sings the opening number lol.

[theactualworst]

Again, 10 years ago lol.

[colossusx]

she has a pretty, if not powerful, bird-like voice

[youdontknowme]

i didn't like mamma mia at all the first time i watched but i watched it again recently with my sister and it won me over. i think she sounds good in it

[littleorcs]

Not from what I've seen in Les Mis - her high register is weak imo

[whizzingfizbee]

She does not have the range or vocal strength to sing Glinda. He voice is very light and flute-like, and her soprano range in Les Miz was disappointing. Glinda's voice needs to be larger than life, so I'm not here for it.

[crimps4]

This is the correct take.

[silverstarry]

She was pretty bad in Les Miserables. Her voice is very thin and weak, especially in her upper register.

[mzgrottesca]

She sounds like a weak and untrained soubrette, which is completely and totally the wrong voice type for Glinda lol. I'm gonna guess I'm correct on untrained too since she just referred to Elphaba as an alto role, which it most certainly is not lol.
