Title: Great job
Review: All who were involved in this cd should be so happy and proud - it is a great adaptation of the OBC musical. The arrangements are more powerful and will probably translate better on film than the original recording - stage and film are different mediums.Some criticism: it has lost some power at great moments; some of the performers sound very tired, and Rosario Dawson's vocals are definitely altered and mixed. "Christmas Bells" is terribly missed, but songs like "What You Own" and "Rent are awesome. Anthony and Adam sound great together.Tracie Thoms and Jesse Martin are as good as gold - "Sante Fe" is so charming, and anything that Thoms sings sounds wonderful.Definitely worth the purchase - just different than the OBC for Broadway.
