All the people commenting that her singing is flawed or imperfect. You realize she not just singing. She is acting. She is performing the song from the perspective of someone who has been utterly destroyed by life. She is near death. And her voice captures this feeling perfectly. If she sang it to sound perfect that would not capture the moment. It is the voice of someone singing in utter despair. She is perfect.

She looked and sounded like Sinead O'Connor to me. She deserved the oscar her performance here was truly outspoken and heartfelt and the delivery was wonderful.

The way Anne sings it is so heartbreaking, emotional, and beautiful like she's LIVING the despair, heartbreak, misery, fear as she sings. In Susan's version, it sounds like she's OVERCOME her despair and she's older, wiser, and happy. Like a bittersweet vibe of the way her version is. But with Annes.. It's like you're living and listening to the despair and emotion as she's LIVING it at the moment. Hopefully people understand what i'm trying to say.

Bellatrix Halliwell Not the role as a whole...this song is under 5 minutes and the raw power and emotion in this portion alone was well worthy of an Oscar! Absolutely adore Anne Hathaway.

Ten years later and I still can't hear this version without ugly crying. This moment was my takeaway from the whole film in the theater - even with Les Mis being a favorite read of mine and having seen many college theater productions, Anne brought this song to life in a way I never saw coming. It's just too raw, too in the cut. Amazing film adaptation and personalization.

Le Miserables is more than an incredible musical. The story is equally amazing. A hungry and struggling man serves years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread. Hounded by the "warden". Years later, when finally released, and when given the opportunity - he steals again. But this time, a priest shows compassion and gives him the opportunity of a lifetime - to have a new life, free of his past sins. He becomes a good, honest, and decent man, who in turn, shows great compassion for others. Even while being pursued for his former life's sins. Wow! It's so clear to see how a single act of kindness, and forgiveness can have a profound impact on dozens, or hundreds of other people - even for generations to come. Anne Hathaway is brilliant as Fantine, and allows the audience to connect deeply with her struggle.

I'm so happy she won an oscar for this

For a scene, it’s a beautiful line: ripe with emotion. However, musically, it doesn’t sound great.

This woman's emotional delivery of this song was musical perfection. Even if one does not speak English her musical performance of this song moves one to tears and deep feelings of what she is singing about She desired her award. I felt her emotional message simply from her body language She is truly a class actress. Loud Hand Clapping for the energy she put forth through song. Applause, Applause. Awesome singing.

No matter how many times I saw the Broadway show or watched the movie, I am amazed and in tears. The story is timeless, the acting always superb. Anne Hathaway did a great job as Fantine; the entire cast shined. What a story! Yes...life does indeed, kill the dreams we dreamed. ♡

Susan Boyle's version is beautiful, of course. I'm not even gonna argue with that. But Anne Hathaway's version is heartbreaking in a very beautiful way. If you missed the emotions between the lines, you're a fool. This gives me goosebumps and made me cry. Ugh, I can't even.

But Anne has an odd beauty. Exaggerated eyes & mouth. She could get by on her looks alone, as so many do. But her really good but slightly imperfect singing voice brought us, well me, to tears. This is a song of lost hope, lost aspirations, loss of a will to live. Other great singers leave us uplifted when they sing this song, but Anne alone leaves us with a feeling of despair. Most of us live with some regrets, with lost dreams. Tears are a salve to ease our pain of loss.

I have seen the stage production in London on three occasions and, therefore I wasn’t expecting the film to do it justice. However Anne Hathaway’s rendition of “I dreamed a dream” was simply outstanding. The emotion she evoked was incredible.

All these years later and I still cry listening to Anne Hathaway sing this song. She really did the most amazing job at it, it's such a visceral and raw song, and she captured that beautifully.

for those of you who didn't know - during revolutions and wars, soldiers used to save money they earned as much as possible, and then combined their savings, in order to buy only one book "les miserables". Books at that time used to be extremely expensive and hard to get. Later, whoever was educated enough to read, used to read it aloud for the rest of the soldiers. this book has changed the history of France and even today widely known globally. now think how one man, Victor Hugo, with a power of writing has done something revolutionary. don't think of it as another hollywood movie, in which catwoman played a role - think of it as something great. and whoever didn't read it yet, do so. educate yourself =)

Anne Hathaway won an oscar for this role, she deserve it

There are actors who learn to sing. There are singers who learn to act. But it is rare to find both qualities in one naturally. Anne Hathaway is one of the few. There may be singers who can sing this song better but I doubt any could put the emotions in she did. This is why you win awards. One of my favorite plays.

Well. I've read a lot, and I mean a lot of the comments posted. I've heard Hathaway sing, a little, before. Her voice is sweet and high pitched. I wouldn't call her a 'singer'. She's an actress. In this musical/movie I don't believe the director was looking for a Broadway singer to step in. "Okay, well cut. . . . Bring in Susan Boyle." (Who does the song beautifully) If that is what you think then you missed the rest of the movie. At this moment she was in the pit, she was dying inside, life as she had ever know it was over. Life itself was over. So the song was sung by a totally broken down person, exactly the way anyone in that position would sing it, tears, cracked voice, raw emotion. It IS exactly what the makers of the movie were looking for. It was stunning. She was stunning. I think we could all agree that she can act, but this was amazing, and she deserves whatever award comes her way.

Instead of being inspired by the excellence that that they project, we rush to argue that it's not natural. She is an actor not a singer. That is moronic.

It is 2020, and I'm seeing and hearing this for the first time right now. It is gut-wrenching. I didn't think I needed to see yet another version of Les Misérables. I was wrong.

How is it not singing? It's not even bad singing. It's really good, it's just that she prioritized portraying the emotions over making the song sound "beautiful" which is what's called for in musical theater/film.

This story perfectly embodies humanity's infinite capacity for cruelty when they have the smallest bit of power, especially if they have all the power.

This is what arduous preparation, powerful acting, fine direction and excellent technical and production values can achieve. This is why cinema at its best is a true art form.

Why are there so many dislikes of this amazing song? I loved this version!!

I have watched this movie version of Le Mis numerous times and it always makes me cry. This was an incredibly moving story and the cast and performances all wonderful.

I must have heard this song a hundred times in many versions and each time brings me to tears. this version is simply stunning raw emotions that you can't help but feel 💔🌍😍

I chose to sing this for my HS solo choir performance. Everyone thinks I chose it because I like the song and it's one of my best vocally. In reality it was also because it's a venting process for me. Since I was about four years old, I used to dream about being a lead in the town's shows. In our middle school I got one minor role (I was the only one who wanted the part) and another extra role with three lines. In eight grade they canceled the show I was in (finally had a supporting). The only roles I got throughout my high school were characters who only spoke a few lines in one scene. I was told by multiple people that I commanded the scenes I was in better than the leads and that I was the most dedicated. I'm in senior year now and the same show I begged the director to do for years (Addams family) she's doing for the middle school. We're doing a show I hate this year, my final year. So when I perform this, I'll be sure to look right at the director so she gets the message.

First of all, let me congratulate you on your dedication, and I'm sure it was a let-down when you really wanted to perform in another musical, but even if you hate the one you were cast in, give it your best shot. I don't imagine that actor Benedict Cumberbatch was too happy about being cast as Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream in his first Shakespearean role, but he was resolved that if he was going to be cast as queen of the fairies, then he'd be the best damn queen of the fairies they'd ever seen, and now he is one of the most sought after actors in the world. One of supermodel Cindy Crawford's first modelling assignments was modelling a blue satin jumpsuit that she thought was the most hideous piece of clothing ever, but she said that if she had to model a blue satin jumpsuit she was going to rock that jumpsuit like it was haute couture, and she also ended up a great success. On a more blunt note, if you are going to be a professional singer or actor, you will not always have the privilege of appearing in productions that you like. Unless you are an Oscar winner (and not always even then) you are going to have to do roles that you dislike, hate, or downright loathe, to pay the bills. Even if you hate the show you're in, get up on that stage and knock that role out of the park. There's also a saying that God never closes a door without opening a window, so who knows; if you become a successful singer one day you might even get the chance to do the role you so badly wanted, this time in a bigger and better production. Best of luck with your singing career.

ChooseYour Poison Thank you.

'And still, I dream he'll come to me. That we will live the years together' Again. I'm crying again.

This is the best lyric video on KZread! The imagery from the film meshes perfectly with the words at the perfect time. & it perfectly encapsulates the film. I was in tears at the end. Job well done!

No matter how many years had passed...I still cried watching this scene

I just wished the colors weren't edited. The original colors of the film is too beautiful to edit.

I love this movie! Every actor did a fantastic job but most of all they were able to transmit so many emotions and to involve you in the story, what a powerful performance. I first saw the movie when it came out in the theater and took my 16 years old son with me…he was crying too!

Anne Hathaway no matter what role she is playing she always gives it a hundred and 10%. But this one, I think she sang the song Like It Was Meant To Be Sung. Powerful, palpitating, breathtaking. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💔

Best acting and singing performance by any actress ever in my book! Absolutely amazing- beautiful but sad all at the same time.

God! When I heard this I was so moved, and felt so much for her, the sacrifice that she gave for her daughter. How can you not feel that?

I haven't shead a tear in a few years. This just.... damn

I have never seen the movie or play but my God, this scene made me cry. Now I want to see the movie to find out what possibly could have happened to net this absolute desolation and heartache. Wow. The depth of feeling...this is the power of acting.

she made this song so real, the singing, the acting, the context it was amazing.

Made me cry, she's amazing, Happy Birthday, Anne.

25 years old man crying like a baby right here, is it normal?

Inade Patheras I'd say no, it's not "normal", but it is natural, especially for men who feel empathy. I blub like a woman every time I watch & listen to this. I don't cry listening to any other versions

+Inade Patheras It's a shame men are considered abnormal if they express emotion. The only emotions men are allowed to express, it seems, are anger, rage, and contempt (and anything else not usually acceptable in "polite society"). Even expressions of love, outside the bedroom, are seen as weakness in some societies. When I worked for the fire department one day I had enough and crawled into a quiet corner and bawled my eyes out. I was caught, and it was almost as bad as being caught masturbating. Did that make me abnormal? A baby? A sissy? Weak? Some others in the department thought so. My career was ruined.

+Gregory Mize I am sorry to hear that. Firefighters are cowboys, and very macho. But I have the feeling that in private, many others have to let their emotions out, too. It is a damn shame that anything negative was done to you, much less ruining your career. Really, very sorry, brother.

Alex König I'm not gay, & this rendition had me weeping.

She told them she couldn’t sing and then put more heart and soul in that song than I have ever heard in any song sung. I weep .

If you can watch this and not have your eyes well up, you are dead inside. This is achingly beautiful. Hathaway brought everything here.

My younger brother played the role of Gavroche on Broadway and in the travelling company of Les Mis for almost 5 years, to say I'm unfamiliar with the show would not be an understatement but a flat out lie. There are some things I don't like about the movie, but Anne Hathaway's performance of I Dreamed A Dream is not one of them. This is a song I heard sung, live, at least twice a day for years and grew indifferent to. Yet her take on it will leave me in a sobbing mess every single time I hear it .Bravo Anne, bravo..

Broadway goes for beautiful singing. She went for raw emotion, and this song 100% NEEDS that! It is absolutely heartbreaking. I never fully understood this song until her version. I knew what it was about....I just didn't GET IT.

IM CRYING WOW THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL

Whoever made the edition of this video, is a genius. If you know the history of "Les miserables" you can see how the lyrics of the song are related with the moments and characters of the musical shown in each line. It's like telling you the story in a very beautiful way. Love this.

“ But there are dreams that can not be” and it shows Eponine with Marius, I’m not crying.

Excuse you that was the most beautiful editing I've ever seen in my life

My heart falls so low every time I hear it.

Anne's performance is so much more amazing for making me completely believe her despair here. Thank you, Anne, for representing so sincerely all the Fantines in the world.

When I'm old, I'll let my grand children know how this incredible woman got her oscar.

Anna's friend after the film was shot: Anna, why did you cut your hair? Anna: Barber paid me 1billion dollars and gave me an Oscar
