Johnny didn't sound that bad, although he did not sound as old as I would imagine the Sweeney Todd character to be. The accent is a little bogus and sure, he's no George Hearn, but I've come to expect mediocrity from the singing talent in Hollywood adaptations of Broadway sensations.
Although, picturing him slicing away at throats during this song is exciting.

Alex, the throat-slicing juxtaposed with the singing of such a sweet, pretty song is one of the highlights of this show for me.
Yes, I have to agree that the accent is a little bogus.
Anthony's voice is beautiful. I can't wait to hear his solo Johanna. And Laura Michelle Kelly is good - she nails the high note beautifully. I wouldn't say that Johnny can't sing, he can certainly carry a tune. It's just that his voice is so much lighter than what we're used to in a Sweeney. And it's clear that he's not at all trained.

That is such a horrible audio clip that you should be ashamed to judge someone from it

I'm not a fangirl...I'm male...but I thought Johnny Depp sounded fine.
