@AnimalLuva2010 obviously I know that...just tired of people saying Michael Crawford is the begin all and end all as far as the phantom is concerned...you need to watch Webbers interviews about Crawford and Gerard Butler (whom he auditioned) ..if he approved of him then who are we to say Butler wasnt good enough????
@wildchaser17 No doubt Gerard is good enough to play the role, he's a great actor. And I have watched the interviews. I am not one to pick favorites esp. because Micheal Crawford and Gerard Butler are good actors. I was simply stating that Micheal Crawford is in this one. Who knows why? Ask the creator of this. I am not making any statement about who's better, just a guess about why this person made this. As you were too. Thanks, AnimalLuva2010
@cptighe Emotion? Have you head the final scene of the Michael Crawford version? Gerard's made me mildly sad, Michael's made me burst into tears and howl like a baby. Perhaps the change of voice doesn't suit the picture/faces/different interpretations, but I assure you Michael is EXCELLENT at expressing emotion.
@Tysia112 Beacuse she takes off his wig as well. But this scene (and the entire movie) is directerd so bad you can't notice it, the first time you see it.
@Tysia112 It's a wig. You can see various busts with wigs on them in his lair at points during the movie. He puts one on during "Seal My Fate", after "Twisted Every Way". The mask must of been attached to the wig.
Ok, so Im almost done watching this and all I can say is, Am I the only one that doesnt think he's bad or anything. I mean geeze, his face inst that bad, like its really only around his eye and down his cheek, and he's suddenly this monstrosity and thing. I think its actually very sad. Just saying.
how can u hate the phantom he is amasin,i cant believe chirstine choose the ugly guy and not the Phantom he is good lookin and has a great voice i dont care abt his face i would choose the phantom over that guy anyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kay am i the only one who noticed that at 8:54, mask on, blackish brown hair. then at 8:58, no mask, blonde hair (and funny face ^.^ ) but still. can anyone set the record straight for me?
Until that very moment (8:58), the Phantom wears a mask AND a wig. His true hair color is blonde, but the wig itself is brown :) When Christine removes the mask, she removes the wig as well.
No didn't read the book but doesn't matter, I only knew what I felt watching the story before me. It will affect different people in different ways...that's art!
This movie just got a whole lot better. The Original Cast recordings are just gorgeous. I honestly tried to like the film voices but, Theater just has more to offer. I wish I could have seen Crawford live. This is a good idea though, I was shocked to hear his voice here! :D
When Christine sings "He murders all that's good" I was like, WHAAA?
are you really that stupid to not see that all of those people were the ones that caused all the pain the phantom was going through. And I would have chosen the phantom.
Like seriously how stupid can Christine seriously be?
Sometimes I wonder if she was blonde and dyed her hair brown... XD
Actually Christine was supposed to be Swedish and Yes, Blonde. It's in Leroux's book. Although there are probably other variations. I think the Phantom said it best to Christine," You denied me, turning from true beauty." beauty and love of the heart not the physical form.
rofl @ the person that said these are ugly voices... they're the original voices! Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote Christine for Sarah Brightman. Good job with the dub :)
I can't believe it! There he is, pouring his heart out to her, showing better than Raoul ever could how much he loved her, and that he would probably treat her like a queen, and THEN SHE RIPS OFF HIS MASK! JERK!
LOL IT SUONDS RLLY FUNY WEN THE PHANTOM COMES OUT WITH MICHAEL CRAWFORS VOICE!! XD BCUZ ITS LIKE HE'S THIS DARK DUDE AND THEN 'CHIPMUNK VOICE' LMFAO!! laughing sooo hard!! xD LSH!!
oh isnt there like a seqel called love never dies?? yea before raul and christine get married the phantom and her well do it and christine gives birth to her child named gastuve.. but raul thinks its his :]... and meg fell in love with the phantom and killed christine by accident
It's based on the "sequel" called Phantom in Manhattan. I read most of it and got disgusted with it. No where does it mention HOW the Viscountess got pregnant. It happens 8 or 10 years after the original.
uhg, i like sarah brightman but i hate her as Christine, emmy did i much better job hitting Christine on the nail, esp if u read the book, you would understand
If you can believe this, in the upcoming sequel, we find out Raoul is sterile, do to a fencing accident. Christine becomes pregnant with the phantom;s child, even though they never coupled.
i know these arent the real voices but are these the real words like the actual songs and parts, cause some of the lips read perfect, and others not so much,
MC is just amazing.... sarah is better then Emmy, cuz emmy just squeaks....however i'm not saying sarah is the best christine, the best christine in my opinion is Beth Southhard :) Gerry did a good job, he acted it well, the voice is not that good...you should see Hugh Panaro, John Cudia and Gary Meur, and Michael Crawford in action...now they are what you call phantoms, they have the voice and the amazing acting skills :)
gerard sounds like a major idiot with Michael's voice:DD:D ps: I love them all- Gerard, Mihael, Sarah, Emmy, no hate:) ok maybe I kinda do not like the new movie but no hate at all))
The movie allowed so much more to be done, but it will never compare to watching it at her majesties theatre in london! its magical! The voice of christine was written for sarah brightman but i prefere steve harleys voice as the phantom, more rugged and sexy!
If his face wasn't deformed n scared me everytime I lookd at it I would soooo choose the phantom over raoul. In most of the scenes in this clip Gerard looks freaken sexy!!;)
@Sophi2flt you think his face looks bad in the movie? you should see the make up they do for the stage Phantom....WAAAAAAAY more grotesque...makes Gerry's face look like a minor rash. I prefer the stage makeup due to how grotesque it is.
What do you think of Von Smith's rendering of Music of the Night on YouTube? What a voice he has! I'll take Gerard for his dramatic playing of the Phantom and its believeability.
Gerard's an actor, so obviously his dramatic playing wouldn't be bad. But I thought we were discussing voices there, an though he does sing well, as do MC, I prefer John Cudia.
And as a matter of fact, I'm suprised by the differences between the movie and the braodway show : in the movie, the phantom dominates this song, and in the show, he is dominated -or it looked like it to me- by Christine.
the womans voice is not as good as emmy rosums voice, its annoying... and butlers voice is sexier maybe not as good as this guys, but still it is better for the part
@cptighe I don't agree...in the original story, Erik's voice is like an angel's. That's what makes up for his extreme ugliness; you know, the tortured beast with the voice of an angel...but I suppose it can be interpreted different ways..
@cptighe I totally agree with you. Many people can't understand that, I don't know why. Besides, we must not forget that it is a movie, not a musical play, and Gerard Butler's performance, passion and sexyness makes it more appealing for a bigger audience. He is so believable. His voice is what Andrew Lloyd Webber was looking for, perfect for the role.
WRONG. The Phantom is Christine's tutor and mentor. He can't be less gifted musically. Michael Crawford was Sarah Brightman's equal or greater in the original production. That's what made it believable. Gerard Butler is not even close to Emmy Rossum's equal, much less a professional singer. He's shampoo in the shower material.
I agree with this. While Michael Crawford is an excellent singer, with amazing control and range of his voice, he doesn't capture the intense emotion of the Phantom that Gerard Butler does, at least in my opinion. And I agree with another comment that the voices sounded more staged than natural, but...yeah this is kinda to be expected when the singers are, you know, on stage rather than in a movie, lol. I prefer the movie version of this particular song to the stage version.
Anyone could replace her childhood sweetheart - for that matter anyone in the cast could have been replaced and not altered the presentation - but this would not have been nearly as powerful if you remove the two that played christy and the phantom. They are totally awesome - and i can listen to them over and over.
I love MC's voice and I don't think there is anything wrong with it. But because GB's Phantom has a different intereptation MC's Phantom (ie; body structure, mannerisms, costume) watching this dub may have some people think that MC's voice wasn't "good enough".
That and because there's a difference in atmosphere between the stage and the movie set.
I really don't mind the dub, I just don't think Crawford's voice is...not sinister enough. @RinaWeddinggown, I do believe he also lacks some passion. I like Emmy better than Sarah, though.
I am not an expert, but from my point of view Crawford's voice, although immaculate in technique, lacks emotions in love scenes such as this. It's like a perfect instrument, but Gerry's singing this very song is more passionate despite that his voice might not be as immaculate for opera.
I don't want to complain sense enough people are doing it (it's a DUB people get over it! Michael Crawford is a better singer then Butler) but your missing "Seal my faith tonight" and "twisted everyway" or could you just not find an MP3 dubbing copy for "seal my faith tonight"? It doesn't really matter
Ass.. read the description and then find one with the movie voices. The original recording was long before this movie and without them you wouldn't have the movie. So don't tell me shit about respecting Lloyd's masterpiece
I still think you should've kept Emmy's voice. I like her more than Sarah. Hell I like any other Christine actress more than Sarah, Just Like I love Helena as Mrs. Lovett more than the original.
@scnfc It was Lloyd Webbers own wife Sarah Brightman that fist played Christine and it is she who sings in this very piece of music. Maybe you should do some research before you state an opinion.
I really dont like micheal Crawfords voice..... to high I geuss for a tenor..... and its TO phantom... just because he acts like a ghost doesnt mean he is..... so thats my oppinian
Emmy Rossum has been trained in Opera since she was a little girl. She was chosen for the part because she controls her vabrato more and is a purer tone, thus contrasting better with Carlotta. I'm not a fan of what you've done to the movie. I quite enjoyed the cast in the movie over Brightman and Crawford.
I watched the making of the Phantom and the director Joel Shumacher said he wanted only actors and actresses who would do their own singing. Gerard B. said he never worked so hard in his life to do this role - acting and singing. Watch the movie on BlueRay - it'll knock your socks off!
wow... seriously??? I guess it's your opinions..but Sarah Brightman has much more of an opera voice...Emmy Rossum can sing...but not opera-like to me. Sarah Brightman is freaking amazing. Her voice is much more fitting for an opera singer..and I wish it was in the movie instead of Emmy Rossum's voice. Thank you phantomofopera91; great job on the dubbing!! :)
no I take that back, the woman is not ok she is lacking all feeling and interpitation like when she says ,,when will the flames consume us?" that has no feeling at all
oh dear god! this is a disaster!...even though Michael is a better singer than Gerard his voice in no way suits the phantom, Gerard has this raw hard voice that is just perfect for the part and I think it's a huge mistake to cut in this unfitting voice, and for Christine's voice that woman is ok but I like Emmy better!
..okay....just wondering if anyone ever noticed that b4 his mask is off...his hair is black... then its blond....his hair was all nice and neat and then it was like POOF! it got messed up...i love phantom, i would have went to him..i think raoul killed christine...wht do you think?:):P
The Phantom's "neat" black hair is actually a wig. Its like that in the stage version to. When Christine takes off the mask she also takes off the wig, revealing the phantoms wispy real hair!
I'm sorry, but.. Michael's voice is just too... high and clean for my taste as the part of the phantom. Gerard brought rough and edgy and power to it. Granted Michael has a power source behind his voice, but Gerard just makes me shiver...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
UGGGH! I hate all the little fangirls who adore Gerard and Emmy. Emmy is okay, Gerard sucks.
Michael Crawford and Sarah B. originated the roles, and they will forever be the best. You people who just like the movie only like it for the fact that is it is a movie. None of you appreciate the work that has to go into to create an enormous and extravagant live production like Phantom!
Honestly, Andrew Llyod Webber was right there telling the director who he wanted. They all sang infront of Andrew and if Andrew FELT that they weren't good enough to sing in the movie, he wouldn't have made them do it. Also, Andrew clearly states that he wanted AN UNKNOWN person. At the time Gerard was unknown. He also wanted someone with a hard edge to his voice and a hard rock feel/vibe. Plus you can't compare theater to movie. Never the same always different.
@jaskie86 what is amazing is that at the Phantom 25th Anniversary concert there was not a mention of the film or anyone who was in it. I think Andrew wishes the film would just go away.
Man those cops are slow!

WRONG. The Phantom is Christine's tutor and mentor. He can't be less gifted musically. Michael Crawford was Sarah Brightman's equal or greater in the original production. That's what made it believable. Gerard Butler is not even close to Emmy Rossum's equal, much less a professional singer. He's shampoo in the shower material.

I agree with this. While Michael Crawford is an excellent singer, with amazing control and range of his voice, he doesn't capture the intense emotion of the Phantom that Gerard Butler does, at least in my opinion. And I agree with another comment that the voices sounded more staged than natural, but...yeah this is kinda to be expected when the singers are, you know, on stage rather than in a movie, lol. I prefer the movie version of this particular song to the stage version.

Anyone could replace her childhood sweetheart - for that matter anyone in the cast could have been replaced and not altered the presentation - but this would not have been nearly as powerful if you remove the two that played christy and the phantom. They are totally awesome - and i can listen to them over and over.

i like MCs voice a lot since i grew up listining to the original cast

I love MC's voice and I don't think there is anything wrong with it. But because GB's Phantom has a different intereptation MC's Phantom (ie; body structure, mannerisms, costume) watching this dub may have some people think that MC's voice wasn't "good enough".
That and because there's a difference in atmosphere between the stage and the movie set.

I really don't mind the dub, I just don't think Crawford's voice is...not sinister enough. @RinaWeddinggown, I do believe he also lacks some passion. I like Emmy better than Sarah, though.
MoonEclipsesTheNight 2 years ago 2
I am not an expert, but from my point of view Crawford's voice, although immaculate in technique, lacks emotions in love scenes such as this. It's like a perfect instrument, but Gerry's singing this very song is more passionate despite that his voice might not be as immaculate for opera.
RinaWeddinggown 2 years ago
I don't want to complain sense enough people are doing it (it's a DUB people get over it! Michael Crawford is a better singer then Butler) but your missing "Seal my faith tonight" and "twisted everyway" or could you just not find an MP3 dubbing copy for "seal my faith tonight"? It doesn't really matter

Ass.. read the description and then find one with the movie voices. The original recording was long before this movie and without them you wouldn't have the movie. So don't tell me shit about respecting Lloyd's masterpiece

I still think you should've kept Emmy's voice. I like her more than Sarah. Hell I like any other Christine actress more than Sarah, Just Like I love Helena as Mrs. Lovett more than the original.

@scnfc It was Lloyd Webbers own wife Sarah Brightman that fist played Christine and it is she who sings in this very piece of music. Maybe you should do some research before you state an opinion.

gaarawuver1289 2 years ago
Emmy Rossum has been trained in Opera since she was a little girl. She was chosen for the part because she controls her vabrato more and is a purer tone, thus contrasting better with Carlotta. I'm not a fan of what you've done to the movie. I quite enjoyed the cast in the movie over Brightman and Crawford.
SadisticGlamour 2 years ago
I watched the making of the Phantom and the director Joel Shumacher said he wanted only actors and actresses who would do their own singing. Gerard B. said he never worked so hard in his life to do this role - acting and singing. Watch the movie on BlueRay - it'll knock your socks off!
sotlg2 2 years ago
wow... seriously??? I guess it's your opinions..but Sarah Brightman has much more of an opera voice...Emmy Rossum can sing...but not opera-like to me. Sarah Brightman is freaking amazing. Her voice is much more fitting for an opera singer..and I wish it was in the movie instead of Emmy Rossum's voice. Thank you phantomofopera91; great job on the dubbing!! :)

oh dear god! this is a disaster!...even though Michael is a better singer than Gerard his voice in no way suits the phantom, Gerard has this raw hard voice that is just perfect for the part and I think it's a huge mistake to cut in this unfitting voice, and for Christine's voice that woman is ok but I like Emmy better!

HottSexyGoth666 2 years ago
The Phantom's "neat" black hair is actually a wig. Its like that in the stage version to. When Christine takes off the mask she also takes off the wig, revealing the phantoms wispy real hair!
phantomofopera91 2 years ago
I'm sorry, but.. Michael's voice is just too... high and clean for my taste as the part of the phantom. Gerard brought rough and edgy and power to it. Granted Michael has a power source behind his voice, but Gerard just makes me shiver...
annacat0212 2 years ago 2
just because you were only a fan of the movie doesnt make you stupid.
she(or he, i don't know this person personally) dubbed the voices.
the dubbed voices are very strong and wonderful.
I like emmy and gerard's voices too. both voices are good, they all have different types of voices, so get over it.
and.
I WISH SHE PICKED THE PHANTOM D= lol

UGGGH! I hate all the little fangirls who adore Gerard and Emmy. Emmy is okay, Gerard sucks.
Michael Crawford and Sarah B. originated the roles, and they will forever be the best. You people who just like the movie only like it for the fact that is it is a movie. None of you appreciate the work that has to go into to create an enormous and extravagant live production like Phantom!

Sorry but Emmy is not okey, is best ever.
Gerard isnt excelent singer, but good. He is true man with full true emotion.
Michael singing song, Gerard is The Phantom. You understand?
ps. Sarah? sorry...only technical sing.

Honestly, Andrew Llyod Webber was right there telling the director who he wanted. They all sang infront of Andrew and if Andrew FELT that they weren't good enough to sing in the movie, he wouldn't have made them do it. Also, Andrew clearly states that he wanted AN UNKNOWN person. At the time Gerard was unknown. He also wanted someone with a hard edge to his voice and a hard rock feel/vibe. Plus you can't compare theater to movie. Never the same always different.
jaskie86 2 years ago 2
@jaskie86 what is amazing is that at the Phantom 25th Anniversary concert there was not a mention of the film or anyone who was in it. I think Andrew wishes the film would just go away.
