The soundtrack for the Rent Live musical comes out digitally this Friday, but they have "Rent", "Out Tonight", "Take Me or Leave Me", "I'll Cover You (Reprise)", and of course "Seasons of Love" out from it already. Unlike most of the JCS Live soundtrack, these are studio recordings, not taken from the performance (or rather the dress rehearsal)
Which is fine, because the songs so far sound really good. Sure, it may not be as raw or real as a live performance, but it doesn't sound dodgy like some of the songs did during the actual show.
Heh, also, it is fine when a singer sings a song their own way, but it can be slightly annoying because you can't sing along because they're not singing it in the way you're used to. Like "I'll Cover You (Reprise)" sounds amazing, but its not what I'm used to. That being said, Vanessa Hudgens does a pretty good job on "Take Me or Leave Me", maybe not as powerful as Idina or Eden Espinosa, but her little touches were cute.
And wth, the soundtrack has 44 tracks?! I guess because they include all those answering machine messages.
TV commentary:
Flash- Heh, that's kinda hilarious! ( spoiler cut )
