I simply love the way Michael sings as the Phantom, he completely embodies the role and becomes him, I'm sorry, but Cliff Richard is bollocks, in my opinion, and sure Gerard is every woman's idea of a sexy Phantom who kidnaps and ravishes you, but in terms of vocal perfomance he is totally blown away by Michael. He is the best!
@sallyjosie they were the first to release the song as a single, yes, but the real original singers are Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford, as they were the first to perform it together and how the song basically became famous
Oh my goodness, Michael as the phantom gives me the shivers - he is so disturbed
I mean, Gerard is hunkness with an awesome voice and my fav phantom, but...ooooh the creeps! Erik was supremely disturbed, and I think Michael portrays that well
This version is so much better than the original <3 Love this dude's voice! And the female singer is also awesome, their voices are much stronger and vivid
@pepe10282002 when i went to see this in London a her Majesty's Theatre this was the point when the chandelier falls onto the stage, (right about when he shouts go)
The Phantom, heartbroken that Christine has chosen Raoul, sends the chandelier crashing down at the end of act 1. (In the movie and the Las Vegas production, the chandelier crash takes place just after the Phantom sings "Point of No Return" closer to the end.)
I met Hugh. He's truly amazing, not saying that Michael isn't because he's simply amazing! Hugh is a great singer and person. I wish I got to see him when I saw it (it was a few months after MC stopped doing it so neither of them were running as the Phandom. D:)
if anyone could. No one can beat Steve, Sarah or Michael in the Phantom of the Opera. Not even if they tried. These three are unbelievable. I would have given anything in the world to have seen these three. Rest in Peace Steve. You will be missed. God Bless.
No way is Hugh Panaro better than Michael Crawford singing this particular piece. Michael C has a melodious fluid clarity as does Sarah Brightman. Hugh Panaro and Sandra Jenkins have too much vibrato which takes away from the actual melody. Though both could develop into fantastic No. "5" rating vocalists...I gave Panaro and Jenkins a no "3" rating.
I agree. Nobody can touch Michael Crawford as the Phantom. Its Really too bad Steve Barton is not still around. He had a beautiful voice. Howeveer, you ought to hear Michael Crawford sing sing this song with dale Christian in his live concert. He even tops Steve Barton as hard as that might be to swallow. The olny thing that would have made MC performance even better is if it had been Sarah instead. (I do however, like Dale Christian just as much as I like Sarah Brightman.)
Wow I actually really love all movie actors, but these guys are obviously the better singers. Steve Baton is incredible! I'm probably going to get flamed for this but I have seen a better phantom then this before on stage. Michael Crawford isn't my favorite.
You should do all the same rehashed tunes as an extended clip like this, Angel of Music or POTO would be good next because AOM is used in AOM, The Mirror and Wandering Child
yeah...i *try* to hold it for that long but I just physically can't (even if i just sing the note and mouth the rest to save stress on my vocal chords!) i hate my voice sometimes...lol
:D ireally wanna ride in the boat, mack on raul, sing the high E every night (cause i do it more than eight times a week xD), wear the dressing gown (its amazing) sing think of me all i ask of you wishhing you were some how here again, and play with the phantoms cape!
xD she can be my third person xD i have three other frends that want tou double cast/ alternte with me. xD she can kiss your lips....i'll just kiss that little prosthetic thingy xD and we'll be insane backstage
Steve Barton is fantastic as Raoul. This duet is the highlight of Phantom. Steve's magnificent baritone is a wonder to behold. I know he played the Phantom later on but this is HIS destined role. Steve is missed greatly.

Actually Sarah Brightman and Cliff Richard are the original singers of this song. It was their duet that was released as a single.

Hugh has more emotion playing the role. I was more moved by him than by Michael. Just my opinion.

if you're talking about the dude that played the Phantom in the movie he sucked. He could not sing at all.

I can hold that note, and maybe go on for just a tad longer.
Are you sure your singing from your stomach/diaphragm, not your throat? I can go on for an age if I get it right..... Which doesn't happen often. xD
