It sounds so good...I did not believe it until I heard it was the real deal...It's to bad they cut the "Ti Voglio Bene" part of the song. Full "Be Italian"

These orchestrations are going to make the rest of the score even more beautiful then it already is. I still can't get over how fantastic that was.
Although I do think this will be the strongest vocal performance in the movie.

Doesn't surprise me at all. I know Fergie possesses a good vocal range and was sure she would do full justice to this song when she was initially cast.
I'm more interested in hearing how the other actresses handle their vocals. Updated On: 10/28/09 at 06:51 AM
From what I've read from critics, etc who have seen screenings, "Be Italian" is apparently the best number in the movie. And Fergie has the best voice of all. So while this sounds exceptional, I'm hoping the rest of the Soundtrack will too. Fingers crossed; can't wait for this movie!

It seems to range between "Be Italian", "A Call From the Vatican" and "My Husband Makes Movies". The first two were a given, but in the recent test screenings people have been saying that the cinematography in the latter is v. good.
I was working on Sunday, and this straight couple came up to box office to buy tickets. I can't remember what they wanted to see, but somehow, Daniel Day Lewis came up in the short conversation. The guy was excited to see NINE, even though he knew it was a musical. I was pleasantly surprised!
Over at IMDB there are several detailed reviews of the film on the boards. So far everyone has been blown away by it, and they're saying it's going to clean up with Oscar nominations.
The best part is that most of the reviews are from non-theater people, so the reviews are based solely on this film, rather than a comparison to the Broadway version.
