The orchestrations for this song (movie version) are so beautiful, I don't think Gerard did them justice. If the movie had a better singer than Gerry, the song would've been even more impactful. Anyway...
Interesting. Although Sarah's voice tends to get on my nerves. Bless Gerard Butler's heart. He's an incredible actor. And, considering that he'd never had any training up until that point, did a good job with songs that are not all that easy to sing for a professional. But the Phantom will always be Michael Crawford for me. And we won't even get into the Steve Barton vs. Ponytail Raoul debate. Well done on the vid. The synch was really good.
yeah...and listen to Rebecca Caine's version (Original Canadian Cast). at the end of that line and after the final "we've passed the point of no return", she gasps like she has either fainted from pure passion (unlikely for the 1st line as she continues for the duet part, but anything's possible for the 2nd, cos Emmy Rossum fainted in Gerard's arms at that point [sort of]. no one can touch either of the original recording casts...
Wonderful! I love it when people put the OLC (or OBC depending on your veiws ha) to the movie. Michael (imo) is the best Phantom, vocally and physically. Gerry doesn't have a spot in my top 10, so.. yea. MC had the passion and emotion, whereas Gerry just, eh, wasn't quite the right fit. But, then again, I like them both. Good job, by the way :D
I personally think that Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman did a much better job singing this so I was totally elated to stumble upon this video with MCs and SBs voices in it. Thank you so much "nekidspaceman". I also saw Michael perform this live onstage as well as watching the film once and if anybody has watched several of the "PONR" videos with Michael Crawford they would honestly have to say Michael contained much more passion then the film version did.
I personally think that you are an f'ing idiot, Dreamsent. Gerard Butler couldn't even hit the notes, much less hold them. Watching Emmy R. is like watching the role being played by Judge Judy. She's so wrong for the part, and her singing is mediocre, at best.
Congratulations. I like the original voices much better, but the film shows us the sensuality the song is meant to transmit. So nothing better than to put the original voices in the mouthes of the actors. Love Sarah Brightman
Awesome :) I agree with ChildOfTheWilderness michel crawford is the best phantom vocally, but gerard butler sing with passion. Also tardmuffin1234 that was very rude!if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all.
I still like Gerald butler more. I can imagine becoming possessed by his voice, and he has a ton of more emotion when he sings.

Is her mouth physically impossible to close? Why is it always open, in every single scene?

And just to clarify, Sarah's singing with so much vibrato because Christine is still under the impression she's in the OPERA.
Would you sing like Emmy Rossum if you were PERFORMING in an OPERA?
Sarah's way more convincing.
