SERIOUSLY!?! Adam Lambert blasts Les Miserables saying it 'suffered massively' from 'pretend singers'

It is critically acclaimed, is pulling in the paying audience and is already heavily tipped for the Oscars.

But according to Adam Lambert, Les Miserables 'suffered massively' from the singing of its stars.

The 30-year-old American Idol alumni took to Twitter to give his verdict on the film, saying: 'the singing was so distracting.'

In a flurry of tweets he attacked the decision to cast the film based on acting rather than singing, and said 'with that cast, they should have studio recorded and sweetened the vocals.'

Tom Hooper’s stirring film version of the award-winning musical by Claude-Michel Schonberg, Alain Boublil and Herbert Kretzmer features 'live performances' of all the songs, with the tracks not dubbed over.

Lambert wrote: 'Les Mis: Visually impressive w great Emotional performances. But the score suffered massively with great actors PRETENDING to be singers. It's an opera. Hollywoods movie musicals treat the singing as the last priority. (Dreamgirls was good).'

But he didn't criticise all the performances, noting: 'Anne Hathaway as Fantine and Enjolras were the exceptions for me. Helena B Carter and Sasha B Cohen were great too. Eponine's voice was cool too.'

Lambert said the singing was so bad it ruined the film for him.

'I felt like I should ignore the vocals and focus on the emotional subtext- but the singing was so distracting at times it pulled me out,' he said. 

'The industry will say "these actors were so brave to attempt singing this score live"but why not cast actors who could actually sound good?'

It remains what the famously short tempered Russell Crowe, who serves as singer in his much ridiculed vanity bands 30 Odd Foot of Grunts and The Ordinary Fear of God, will make of Adam's critique.

But as his own fans lashed out, Lambert defended himself: 'Sorry for being so harsh but it's so True! 

'I'm so glad we are all discussing this now! Look-I grew up w this musical and so my expectations are quite high. Didn't mean to b negative.'

And he later tweeted: 'One more clarification: DO go see it for Anne Hathaways performance. It's was breathtaking.'

Did anyone here his vocals at VH1 Divas??? Well listen and tell are you SUFFERING!

That is all! THE NERVE!
