I actually liked Anne as Fantine. To be honest I was never expecting that to occur. I bow down to all of these women. However it was these three ladies who appealed most to me. Lea Salonga (hasn't let me down once) Betsy Morgan (whoam I had the pleasure of seeing live) and Celinde Schoenmaker who just gave me a jolt. BRAVA!!!

Patti, Kerry, Sierra, Celinde, Carmen and Anne's. Daphne's was the weakest, and that's because she's not a true Mezzo, she's an Alto, and a raspy Alto at that, much more suited for Rock, rather than classical Broadway. Hence, why she was the original Mimi in Rent.

Daphne was the worst Fantine I’ve ever seen or heard! Horrible decision to cast her. I was on my 20th time, or so, seeing Les Mis when I saw her and during the intermission, the people next to me asked me what I thought of her and the look on my face must have said it all. They said they had only seen the show a few times and this was first time they couldn’t wait for Fantine to die because she was so awful. I totally agree.

@@kazior6521 I actually really loved Daphne in this role. There was something about her voice and her vulnerability that really sold it for me. You believed she was this broken women who has been dragged through the gutter and was rougher because of it. She was certainly the most unconventional person ever cast, but for some reason I was absolutely captivated by her when I saw her.

Interesting. The two I enjoyed the most were Ruthie and Carmen Cusack. Ruthie you can't go wrong with, a classic. Not just the great belt voice, and husky womanly tones, but hers was probably little more interpretive with the phrasing overall that baby girl 'as they turn your dreams." But I think Carmen really nailed the shame. Such a full-voiced attack on the note, a real rich mezzo color, not a hint of wobble unlike so many others when they try to extend. Great crescendo. Yet she still manages to convey the sense that she's trembling with intensity. She "comes off" of the note better than most, she sounds angry, but not too tired vocally. No whispering the low notes beforehand either, like I said good, dark mezzo depths.

Her power and the way she builds and lands on each note perfectly without a lot of sliding and scooping like some others do. Each note just 'clicks' perfectly into the center of the pitch. Her vowel is a bit attrocious though. It doesn't even sound like 'shame', but more 'shome'. Literally so not picky though. She's incredible in anything she does. I saw her as Elphaba several times over the years and every time she was just brilliant.

Lea Salonga, Ruthie Henshall (tho I hate her in the Epilogue), Patti Lupone, and the Complete Symphonic Orchestra's (i forgot, Debr-(y/a) :(). They are the best for me, both in acting and singing. I also like Anne's emotionally-speaking but it's unfair to compare to other since they changed the sequence of the songs in the movie making Fantine more devastated.

It’s interesting how some of them jump higher on the fourth “syllable” just like the ones preceding it, and some remain static or near static after the third? It ranges from fully the same notes on 3 and 4, to a tiny change, to the same amount of note jump as all of the rest of the syllables! I’m clearly not a musician or a real singer, as evidenced by my lack of words to say what I’m getting at lol, I just found it really interesting how differently it’s sung. What is the “right” way? And does it matter? 😂😊 love all of it
