Absolutely, this is the best male vocal of my favourite carol. Michael nails it, love the tempo too, I loath the faster tempo versions. I would love to hear him sing it with less orchestral backing, his voice is so pure. Thank you for uploading such a great version though, much appreciated. :))
This is the crystal clarity and purity of tone of voice that marks a true singer, and not all the nasal warbling and overvocalization that you hear in today's "pop stars". This has to be the single greatest version of this piece of music that has ever been recorded. Bar none.
Narutardro children are absolutely in this video. I see them and those are not adults. Maybe you mean children are not heard in this video. I think you are wrong about that as well. The voices of the backup singers sound more like children than adults to me.
No one can sing this beautiful song like Michael Crawford. He is a talented man with an incredible voice. I get chills every time I listen to this. Thank you so much for putting this beautiful video together.
You will never hear a more extraordinary rendition of O' HOLY NIGHT than this! Michael Crawford's voice is captivating and the children sound like angels, AWESOME!
Enjoy it while it's here... every version of Crawford singing this gets yanked due to copyright. To me, this is the best version of the song ever recorded. It is the only essential version... Groban and Celine Dion's versions are nice... but this is a masterpiece. I'm not a religious type person and still I can't get through it without tearing up.
@awsomegreenlanturn what chirdren are in this video??? correct answer is... NONE!!!!! i have a cd that plays this song and the video played it in the exact same voice!!!

WOW......Well done, i Love it !!!! Michael Crawford , along with Celine Dion, Perry Como and Josh Groban , are my favorites singers of this wonderful, beautiful Christmas song !
@awesomegreenlantern Your right! It does make you sound like a terrible person. However, lucky for you, you don't have to watch this video again! Merry Xmas... Grinch!
I have video of my son in a swing with this song playing in the background. it was on TV when it was originally broadcast. it always brings tears to me because of my son being a baby at the time and my grandfather was with us then.
Lol it's weird hearing the Phantom sing Christmas carols! Beautiful job, as always, Michael Crawford. <3 That little girl at 2:57 just got her life made. Now for the rest of her life she can say, "I sang with Michael Crawford!" Lucky. :)
ABSOLUTE CHILLS!!!!! My favorite version of this timeless song. If there was ever anything that could prove that Michael was truly gifted with the voice of an angel, THIS is it! <3
That little girl who got to share the mike with him at 2:57 is SO LUCKY! (also, I love her dress) And is it just me, or did Michael use his "Phantom" hands at 4:14? :)
@TheaterRaven "Phantom" hands? I think that's just how he sings, no matter what song it is. Alot of people use their hands to help with their singing. Elvis did the same.
@glenh75 I know, just, the way he brought his hands close together and moved them down reminded me of a similar movement he did in a performance of "Music of the Night" on the Bob Hope Show.
@glenh75 I'm 23. To be honest, I don't know too much about the Bob Hope Show, either, except that it was a sketch comedy show. Michael was on one during the early '90s while he was doing "Phantom" in LA. He performed "Music of the Night" and then was in a couple of HILARIOUS skits. One featured him as Ben Franklin as he and the rest of the Founding Fathers debated the content of the Constitution and the other had him as Batman fighting against Superman for Lois Lane's affections.
The best !!!
