"Russell Crowe has responded to Adam Lambert&amp;#039;s Les Mis\u00C3\u00A9rables criticism. The actor - who stars in Tom Hooper&amp;#039;s musical as Javert - has said he agrees with the former American Idol singer&amp;#039;s complaint about the film&amp;#039;s vocals.   &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t disagree with Adam,&amp;quot; Crowe wrote on Twitter. &amp;quot;Sure it could have been sweetened, Tom Hooper wanted it raw and real, that&amp;#039;s how it is.&amp;quot; Lambert has previously tweeted that the actors were &amp;quot;pretending&amp;quot; to be singers, and that the vocals should have been &amp;quot;recorded and sweetened&amp;quot; by the filmmakers. &amp;quot;Sorry for being so harsh but it&amp;#039;s so True!&amp;quot; he added.  However, Lambert did also praise the performances of Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen. Hooper made the unusual choice of having his Les Mis\u00C3\u00A9rables cast sing live during the recording of the film.
