What's the point of that? I just hit play on the soundtrack on Spotify and to my shock, it's someone else singing Elton's songs. How hard is it to have the actor lip sync?
The singer wasn't even that good. Passable but not good. Hence he's an actor, not a singer.
I'm glad I didn't go see this, seems like I just dodged a bullet.
Well, it's not like Elton is that great a singer. I mean he's fine, but of all the things that made him a big star - his songwriting, his showmanship, his dress sense, etc., his singing voice is kind of far down the list.
So I'd be fine with an actor singing the songs, especially if he had equal or better singing abilities. I can say that's the case, whatshisname isnt terrible of anything, but he isnt as good a singer as Elton.
