A studio version of the soundtrack exists but is no longer going ahead

Leave it up to Little Monsters to be her biggest critics. She can’t release ANYTHING without you tearing it to shreds. You’ve all watched the multiple versions of clips and promos and created your own idea of what you wanted the song to be and it’s not that. So what.

 

I’m seeing the same backlash for I Want Your Love which is an incredible disco cover. Let’s stop reacting instantly, stop thinking about numbers and chart performance, and sit with the music as she intended us to. We should only be so lucky to have a queen so talented across multiple disciplines. Let’s enjoy the ride as she evolves as an artist.

Ugh seriously. Especially since they haven’t even SEEN the movie.  Can you imagine when the movie actually releases?

It should be, the song sounded exactly like the one in the trailer. It's played in the credits. So unless they have another version lined up for the soundtrack, it should be the version we heard

i saw the movie yesterday. during the credits, a live version of Is That Alright plays ughhh 💀

I hate to say it, but that is a point that strengthens my criticism of the soundtrack release. The soundtrack should stand on its own 2 feet without the movie required for effect. The crowd noise however dilutes the experience of the music on the soundtrack while trying to imperfectly replicate the feeling of the film. There is nothing wrong with the music - just the choices in what was added for "effect".

Are you sure? Girlll I thought "Is That Alright" isn't even sung during the actual film? Isn't it only a credits song? So why would it be "live"??

[BenG 19,908]

maybe it's supposed to flow better with the dialogues

[Glamourpuss 29,062]

Ok so I was so looking forward to the ASIB music but now I just caught myself thinking "at least we've got LG6 to look forward to". A little bit of a silver lining but also very sad that I've lost enthusiasm for ASIB before I've even seen the damn film.

If Is That Alright? ends up being some live version THAT will ruin my day ... don't mind the others.

No. That has never mattered for a soundtrack. The Oscars don't give a **** about that category anyway.

We deserved a watered down, rhythmically inappropriate version she performed to be intentionally weaker than the film version? Good to know.
