      That moment when you realize both Les Miz and Phantom take place in Paris. So Raoul now lives a dual life as a paris schoolboy in the French Revolution and is stepping out on Christine for a chick named Cosette.

    What bothers me is that Hadley Fraser was in the Les Mis movie as an army officer.. -_- yet Russell Crowe was cast at Javert. With Hadley's musical talent and experience he should have had a much more prominent role in the movie if they were going to cast him in the first place.

    There's a grief that can't be spoken,
    There's a pain goes on and on.
    Empty chairs at empty tables,
    Now my friends are dead and gone.
    Here they talked of revolution,
    Here it was they lit the flame,
    Here they sang about tomorrow and tomorrow never came.
    From the table in the corner,
    They could see a world reborn,
    And they rose with voices ringing,
    And I can hear them now
    The very words that they have sung
    Became their last communion
    On this lonely barricade, at dawn.
    Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
    That I live and you are gone
    There's a grief that can't be spoken,
    And there's a pain goes on and on
    Phantom faces at the window,
    Phantom shadows on the floor,
    Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will meet no more.
    Oh my friends, my friends don't ask me
    What your sacrifice was for
    Empty chairs at empty tables
    Where my friend will sing no more.

    You can tell Hadley's voice anywhere, whether he's singing with Ramin in The Sheytoons or in pieces like this. It's just that strong and beautiful... That sort of bothered me about the movie that was recently made; there is such a deep well of musical talent they could have drawn out of, people who actually had experience with the roles, yet they hardly even dipped into it...

    Nick Jonas indeed put in a valiant effort, but it was plain to see (and hear) that he was being overwhelmed by the sheer talent and power of the rest. But perhaps after some years, he'll get better if he continues working really hard at it. It was at this moment that Marius grew from a boy to a man and one can't deny that Hadley nailed this.
