American Idol Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert was certainly not swept up in the holiday season when he saw the film adaptation of Les Miserables this week…

The 30-year-old singer took to his Twitter to slam the film’s cast for “pretending” to be real singers.

Les Mis: Visually impressive with great Emotional performances. But the score suffered massively with great actors PRETENDING to be singers. It’s an opera. Hollywood’s movie musicals treat the singing as the last priority

Lambert went on to add:

I do think it was cool they were singing live, but with that cast, they should have studio recorded and sweetened the vocals. . . The singing was so distracting at times it pulled me out.

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? Sorry for being so harsh but it’s so true!

Ouch!

Adam did give Anne Hathaway a pass for her ”breathtaking” performance as the dying prostitute Fantine, but berated the rest of the cast for, well, not being as good a singer as he is!

Hey Adam, take a chill pill!  It’s just a movie!  Any by the way, we’d like to see you try your hand at the whole acting thing before you start ripping people for not being able to sing.  It’s not as east as it looks pal!
