that spanish one was slightly camp in his movements but his voice was quite good. i love watching a show (one that i know like the back of my hand, anyway) in another language.
Hey! Great vid! Strange how you have captured 4 of my fave phantoms here, alongside people like Mark McKerracher, Scott Davies, Gary Mauer, Peter karrie and brad little etc
I was lucky enough to see the underrated earl carpenter and I am seeing my fave JOJ the day after tomorrow
EXCITEMENT!!!!!!
*PS: I think it is Rachel Barrell with EC as Robyn North has a more ginger wig and has a different voice
I like them all the only things I don't is earl carpenter rushes his you alone can make my song take flight a bit and juan carlos barona's christine seems desperate to get away from the phantom whereas the others show him some pity.
Like someone mentioned before, Carpenter might not be the best vocalist out of these four, but his acting is phenomenal. I rarely tear up, but seeing the phantom falling on his knees trying to make Christine stay had me bawling...
Vocally, JOJ by far. Michael Crawford makes me weep. Earl Carpenter is extremely heart breaking though. Not the best vocals, but definitely the best acting.
JOJ is the best because he can sing just like John Cudia and i love that JOJ is more affectionate than the rest of them because Michael Crawford is a little over the top. but that is my opinion.
John Owens is the greatest, i dont see nothing so special bout crawford... ok he originated the role.... AND? -_- its always the girls "all the emotions makes me wanna cry" haha owens showed plenty of emotion in that beautiful voice of his!
I love Michael's performance!! It makes me cry every time i see this and the way he sings is so heartbreaking and the way he keeps saying "I love you" just brings tears to my eyes.
i really like Earl Carpenter and Michael Crawford cos when you listen to the any other phantom they all sound the same when they sing 'you alone can make my soul take flight' but those two have different voice tones and they stand out a bit more :)
Crawford is the best, hands down. He actually WAS the Phantom. It was his creation and he owns the role. His is the benchmark that all others after him can only strive to come close to.
I adore the way Earl tries to copy what Raoul does in aiaou, by proposing only to get rejected it's just so sad....but joj's voice and his just total sobbing..gets to me...I saw his phantom a number of times live...everytime...had me in tears!
I feel like I am about to die right now. I can barely take watching The Phantom be left alone once. Michael Crawford without a doubt. The emotion in his movements and his ethereal voice that no other has. Earl Carpenter is second. But I have recently seen Phantom at Las Vegas and saw Michael Lackey play Phantom and he was unbelieveable! The little things he did made that particular performance amazing. Michael Crawford, Michael Lackey, Earl Carpenter.
Michael is the BEST!!! i love how he cries over and over again "i love you" and how he braeks into sobs on the final two lines!!! Michael breaks my Heart!!!
Anthony Crivello will always be my Phantom but I loved Jhon-Owen-Jone's voice and Michael Crawford's is just so amazing and powerful! I cried three times!
My personal favourite is Earl Carpenter, he really gives a lot of feeling to the part. The worst is the last one, but I actually don't like Michale Crawford either
Okay the ending to the Show of Phantom of the Opera is way better than the ending in the movie. I cried so much watching this last part. It made me so upset. I love it.
You don't even know me. This was my very first play when I was four. I saw this. I freaking hate the movie. Come to think about it. The Stage Musical is way better. They left a a LOT of things out in the movie. Left out a lot of songs. I don't know you. Please stop talking to me.
Clips 2 and 3 were hearbreaking! :( Especially clip 2 when Christine turned around, wanting to leave but the Phantom held her by the hand and then clip 3 where it looks like Christine was crying!
This is fascinating. It's interesting that we end up comparing the acting as much as the singing! I am surprised by how much ai DISliked Michael Crawford (too many 'I love you's) Do you know who were the 4 Christines?
I love it when they do these comparisons...you get a different feel of the drama each time...like in pretty much all of them christine just runs away without looking back. In the JOJ one she looks at him and puts her hand on his to tell him that she's sorry but she can't. Thanx 4 the comparison!!!
thanxs for commenting , i love to make theese comparisons so ppl can see how each phantom / actor plays the role once you have seen phantom once there in no excuse you should see it as many times as possible lol cheers
JOJ the best number 4 is good too

No.....NO....please don't make me choose the best Phantom.
Heck, my eyes are to blurry to do a recap of who was even nominated here.
Every man playing the Phantom on stage, since I first saw the show with the brilliant Hugh Panaro, has broken my heart.
Although the one who makes me cry the most is Michael Crawford. He doesn't break my heart...
He rips it out of my chest Temple of Doom style, tears it into sixteenths, throws it on the ground, and stamps all over what's left of it.
