YouTube CommentaryRarely do I lose my temper online. Even when I seem angry, it's more than likely that I'm really not.
Nothing makes me lose my temper faster than YouTube commentary. Especially the ones attached to Les Mis videos. The ignorance and stupidity is numbing.
Take a look at these...
On Sutton Foster's Eponine...
~ "Better than lea? are you a ---- idiot? Multi-awarded - Best Actress Tony Winner - internationally acclaimed? Picked by the writer/producer/director of Les Mis to represent Eponine out of the thousands of other singers for the 10th anniversary show? What does foster have? Your a ---- Moron!"
~ "Street rat, you are right, no wonder her voice is squeaky..."
~ "i love it! but i lyk lea's version!"
~ "she was shouting though.. and the diction, watch out.. lea is still the best.."
~ "I didn't like the way she is constantly pausing like she's out of breath of something. The "pretending" part sounds like she was shouting..I think I'm gonna go with Lea on this. Maybe Sutton was having a bad night or something."
~ "her body is lifeless!"
~ "oh my she is very good .. still lea is better ... she wont be the part of the dream cast for nothing"
~ "LEA is still the best EPONINE...i guess she wouldn't be casted as EPONINE in the 10th anniversary concert if she is not the BEST!! galing ng PINOY!!"
~ "Sutton adores Lea Salonga. She wanted to emulate Patti Lupone and Lea Salonga so I believe even Sutton think Lea is the best eponine."
~ "wow!! when is this chick going to be playing elphaba?!"
On Alessandra Maestrini's Fantine (Brazilian production)...
~ "i have been in a english version of this musical. i find it truly beautiful after translation the music vs lyrics still flows and works.. too bad she sounds like crap tho!"
~ "yuo could of atleast told us that it was in french u meff"
I respect people's opinions but these comments are something else.
The blood boils.
What are some of your 'favorite' Les Mis YouTube comments?

That one's amusing. Too bad they don't realize Sutton Foster wasn't even in the ensemble of Les Miz until three years after the TAC.
YouTube is like...the IMDB of illegal videos. I generally don't read the comments on any clips these days.

I predict that site isn't going to last much longer.

I hope that's not the case, but I heard an interview on NPR with the creators, and I got that impression, too. They didn't seem too concerned about what would happen once their servers explode. Which you know will happen, if the FBI doesn't come after them first.

On Ruthie Henshall in the TAC:
"the fantine at my school was sooooooooo much better but that might have been because you could tell she was dead"

You Tube isn't the only place that has comments like the ones posted, I might link an example later. As for Lea vs. Sutton, from what I have seen or heard on recordings, or clips, of both of them I don't see that much difference between their Eponine's. Both play Eponine kind of rough, determined, and somewhat angry though Sutton is not as pronounced vocally.
