Negative Positive
Title: Original is lemonade; this is REALLY sour and bitter lemons.
Review: I first was a rent STAGE FAN, owning the original cast album and addictly seeing the play. I then got this soundtrack, which leaves out 3/4 of the good songs. I mean really: Angel does not even sing contact, and there is NNNOOO song "christmas bells". Rosario Dawson sucks and should play britney spears, not Mimi. I gave the original 5 stars and this one. OMG. Mimi should be EDGY not GLITZY. I feel bad that Daphne Rubin Vega had to watch her awesome part be ruined by Rosario Dawson's "valley girl" voice. As for the original cast, especially Wilson Jermaine, their voices almost matured too much.So in the movie recording, Angel does not sound sweet anymore. If you buy the original cast recording you'll end up marrying the recording and worshipping it. If you buy this recording it will etiher end up in the garbage or in the fireplace. If you burn it-LAUGH!
