What a voice!

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2001)

I went to see this movie without knowing really what to expect. I was a fan of Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor from the movies that they had done previously, but I was not prepared for the quality of their voices. Kidman has a beautiful voice and she is excellent as Satine in Moulin Rouge. However, McGregor has one of the most incredible voices I have ever heard. When he sang Elton John's "Your Song" to Kidman it moved me to tears and I am not easily moved to tears. Judge for yourself. I would not be surprised if McGregor's voice coupled with the rest of his performance leads to an Oscar nomination. At the very least I hope that this will not be the last time people get to hear this guy sing. That would be tragic.
