Any one who wants to see a foreshadow of the Best Actress who is Brie Larson, watch her tear into "Black Sheep." She brings a brilliant emotional performance to the music video that is a high point of "Scott Pilgrim."

I know she can sing but didn't she mime? From what I saw on one of the DVD extras the vocals are from the lead singer of Metric who wrote and performed the song on the soundtrack while the actors mimed to it.

Best as I have been able to determine, the band played, but Larson sang "Black Sheep" for the movie.
From Wikipedia:
"Her last public appearance as a singer was in 2010, when she performed "Black Sheep", along with the band Metric in the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.[23]"
The citation noted as (23) is: Topel, Fred (August 8, 2010). "Brandon Routh on Scott Pilgrim". CraveOnline. Retrieved December 11, 2013.

It's her voice singing the song in the film, dubbed over the instrumental version of the Metric version. On the outtakes, it shows her singing the song and tripping, and the commentary with the actors says that they were singing live and the pre-recorded version was dubbed in post.

Cool.

I haven't seen "Room" yet, but judging by this I think I can understand why you'd feel this way about her.

Envy Adams was an awesome character.
