  • Oh my gosh I can't believe I just found this! Combine my favorite singer with my favorite opera of all time....and you get one of the most beautiful songs in the world. :) <3

  • Does anybody have the guitar chords for this rendition?

  • perfect song for his fans now that he'll do missionary works....see u soon david,,tnx for the music

  • omg im in love! <3333

  • i love this boy he is so handsome

  • Exquisite!

    

  • everybody shut the fuck up im tryna listen 

  • He should've been Christine!!! O:

  • @CookieCamCam Lol.

  • i love the POTO version AND Archie's version. :) They are so different and are both gorgeous in their own way. I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but I love it when I don't think i could ever like another version of a song other than the original and then Boom! Someone like David comes along surprising me with a beautiful, new version of, "Think of me.". Now I have 2 versions that I love. Makes me :)

  • I like it, but it's just not right. Watch out David... the Phantom's gonna get ya! :P

  • I like his better because it's coming from a guy--it's coming from the heart. When a girl like Christine sings it--it's not as meaningful because 'think of me' is probably said by every girl at least once in her lifetime but you rarely hear a guy say it to a girl. :P

  • ok david I love you dude... but you don't just remake a POTO song, it is unthinkable

  • Sounds beautiful with him :') 

  • oh my gosh................ this song is awesome for his voice! even if its too sacred

  • NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!! HE KILLED IT. :(

    I like him and all, but NO. You don't mess with Phantom. It's too sacred.

  • ok guys, all i know is... David Archuleta is a really Talented singer... THE CHOSEN ONE... lol:

  • Many people try to live their lives in the old styles of music..give it a cut You guys..and try to be captivated by modern day music...let's be open to all new possibilities that's coming and will be comin our way...most importantly, try to respect someone else's piece...it's the ART....ARTCHULETA!!!..

  • AHHHHHH!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

    I LOVE his voice but, NOOOOOOOO THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE OPERA

  • Isn't the whole point of music just to appreciate it and love it? If you don't like it, don't listen to it. No matter what you post on here, regardless of how much you know about musical theater and opera and stuff it's not gonna stop those of us who actually like both versions, or just this one for that matter, from listening to it.

  • And, not being funny, but Phantom of the Opera is not an opera. And Sarah Brightman, who originally recorded it, is not an opera singer.

  • oh god, people calm the fuck down. so this is supposed to be sung with an opera style voice like it was done originally.. yes, that's great, but this is a cover, its the artist spin on it, and it sounds good both ways. give this guy some credit, his voice is actually beautiful, so shut the fuck up, or just go away.

  • agh agh AGH..im sorry.. this dude is legit talented..but NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! this song is not meant to be "pop-ized". this song is a soprano song where opera is sung.. no JUST no! agh.. i dont know what to say :3 I am very open minded..but im a 200% phantom of the opera fan..this is just................. idfk -____________-

  • I have to say... he kinda looks like Zac Efron... I love his version!

  • my sis didn't believe me when i told her how amazing this sounded, even with a guy singing it. she is now officially hooked on david archuleta :)

  • awww that was kinda pretty.

  • What the hell!!? ._. 

  • I don't have a problem with him, he's good, it's just that I can't stop thinking about Disney when I hear him sing. And I don't like Disney. But I love this song! So many conflicting emotions right now...

  • I love that picture of him!

  • what ever happened to david..man i remember being in love wit him when i first heard him on American Idol (auditions) i new he was going to win from day one!

  • I love this song and David sings it so well. :D

  • HE HAS SUCH A GORGEOUS VOICE!!

  • What the fuck is this. He's a good singer, but he's completely ruined this song!

  • the look and voice of a god <3

  • @mrhmikkelsen because that practice of life is disgusting and wrong.

    and I don't care if he is gay or not just to listen to his songs.

    and again I know very well why and to whom Christine is singing. It just has more of a girl tone and lyrics

  • @blabling55 Hey, This song in the musical is part of an aria that Christine Daae sings cos Carlotta quit...she doesnt sing this song to anybody...Im a BIG phantom of the Opera fan...My opinion is that as is a great song is impossible to be a bad cover, Which one I prefer? OBVIOUSLY, Sarah first, then the others soprano, and last this version, but it´s still good...cos it´s a great song

  • Notwithstanding the comments in Spanish below, this boy did a great job on a beautiful song. Of course his performance doesn't measure up to the original. But a great song can be sung many and not detract from the original. He added some nice elements to the song.

  • esta cancion es de andrew loyyd weber y fue hecha para sarah brightman y no para este chaval que no save cantar, para empezar cambio el final de la cancion le quito las notas altas porque no puede hacer nada como lo hace el verdadero angel de la musica

  • @167hades60830 he sure can do the high notes

    

  • @167hades60830 seguro que si puede con las notas altas :)

  • @ISAMARSASI I do not think he can make those high notes, because the more I can give is contralto notes and if lucky would be much some of mezosoprano (and would be too) Maybe if you did a great job with the kid because it was not very good maybe if it's good but not enough to make art that gives a person trained in singing.

  • this song is a drug !

  • No!!!! This song belongs to SARAH BRIGHTMAN!!!! 

  • @LivingMindfully1975 actually it belongs to Andrew Lloyd Webber XDXDXD

    but i agree with you....

  • @mymichelle0 ....yes, but he wrote all the music for Phantom especially for Sarah's voice.

  • @LivingMindfully1975 yes, i know...in fact every phantom song sounds perfectly with her voice *ç*

  • Finally a version I can sing LOL I'm an alto and Christine was a soprano so I could never sing her songs :P

  • Its good. But David Cook doing "Music of the Night" is about 100 times better.

  • @MyImmortal2007 no way in hell.

  • Ok... At first I thought it was really weird to hear a guy singing this song, but I have to admit... Very charming! =) Dude has an awesome voice and i hope he keeps singing!!!

  • omigawd, he's voice is soooooo solid!!!! i love him!

  • in some parts, he sounds like george michael.

  • Oh, gracious! I want to cover this in 'soft rock' style now! I hadn't even thought it could be done. Brilliant!

  • i prefer the original from the opera, but, he really does a good job doing this, LOL is like a Disney's movies songs, but its really good ;), like it!

  • I wanna learn this on guitar. <3

  • I love the voice of this boy, sweety =)

  • he looks like he's 12

  • "Meant to be sung in operatic style/by a woman" my ass. If you can sing, then you can sing anything, and David Archuleta proves it by providing his own take on his song while showcasing his excellent vocal ability.

  • why have more people not watched this? only 189,592!I mean come on! This song is way to cool for people not to listen to it! :D

  • 36 people who clicked dislike thought that it said dis i like XD

  • i love david to much¡¡¡¡

    he singed with me and i hope in the future we miight have new projects together

  • @blabling55 Haha, someone else who sees that she WAS NOT "saying goodbye" to Erik! (The Phantom) Tee-hee! (=

  • @blabling55 What?? Christine wasn't singing this song to Raoul at all!  It was just an aria she sung in the opera that was being performed that night, because the star soprano quit. So, she was singing it to an audience. lol. Better get your facts straight.

  • @operagirl81 That is so true!! But wasn't all the opera's picked & "written" by the Phantom to display how he was currently feeling at that time?

  • @operagirl81 She wasn't singing directly to him, but it was implied that she was singing to him though

  • Comment removed

  • @blabling55

    first of all, why does it matter if it's gay or not gay?

    as far as i know David is not gay, but i shouldn't have anything to do with his singing, even if he was.... just my opinion..

    and then for the record, Christine does not even know Raoul is present at the time when she's singing this song. She is singing in front of an audience in the fictional "Hannibal" opera.

  • ahhhh... he butchered one of my favorite songs. D:

  • @ACallToShame well i wudnt say butchered. hes an amazing singer,so of course he wants to take an amazing song that he loves and make it even more beautiful(: yhu may not think so,but alot of others do(:

  • i love him so much!!!

  • Wow. Normally, I hate remixes, but this is amazing. His voice is beautiful. Of course its not gonna be like the Phantom of the Opera version. Its his take on the song. But that doesnt make it any less good.

  • i miss this season. <3 it was the best!

  • lololol he made it sound all gay he needs to stick to music he can do like pop and stuff not brodway with retarded pop twist

  • Love it! :D

  • Im a fan of David. His face is irrestible and his voice is usually the last thing I hear b4 I fall asleep, but REALLY? Christine Daae's Think of Me????"? Thats just not right. This song is written for a WOMAN to sing

  • You know what, In all honesty, I think that he epitomizes what youre supposed to do on Idol. And that is, go way out on a limb and be unique. He did an awesome job for something he knew he couldnt ordinarily do. Its cool. WTG!

  • I love this version, I would love to buy this recording too!

  • I generally don't like people who cover Musical songs, but FUCKKK MEE this is amazing! :)

  • where can i get this track?

  • where did you find this song?! its not on itunes i am so pissed!!!! Dx< *must have!*

  • He has a nice voice, yes, but this song was not meant for a guy and was meant to be sung in operatic style.

  • seriously, this song wasn't made for a guy. aargh

  • ew lol

  • this is amazing!

  • ahhh hes uh mazz ing!!! ♥

  • i love that movie i know like every line this is my favorite song sand christina issss sooooo pretty its such a sad story!!! david did so well for this song

  • Yay I played this song for the Harp!

    Love it. David you are an amazing singer!

  • I think it sounds like a disney song when he sings it.

  • @huka0104 Yes it does, but that's not a good thing. The song is meant to be sung with passion.

  • @MagicMaddy this is also a soprano song

  • OMG. Hotness and voice wrapped up in one!

  • He's good, but this song was a) written for a soprano woman with an operatic style voice. b) written for Sarah Brightman and c) it is certainly not a pop song.

    Nice voice, but not really for this song.

  • @CaraKawaii a) he has a tenor voice, which is the same as a soprano, for a man. b) I don't see your point, then the movie wasn't supposed to happen nor the world-cruising musical... It's like as if I couldn't play any of the Chopin operas simply cause they are written for his lovers, nonsense. c) this IS a popsong. As classical music requires a completely different style of composition which you would know about if you had studied it. Given you didn't you made 3 useless points.

  • @CaraKawaii It seems that everyone that doesn't care for this song seems to make the comparison between him and Brightman. I mean, I have to wonder: if people had never heard the orginial, would they have a problem with this one? Nobody seems to just listen to the song for itself. I don't understand how people can say "his voice isn't for this song." How? Because you've heard the original? I don't see that it makes a difference. Ah, screw it.

  • amazing!

    Everyone PLEASE VOTE for DAVID ARCHULETA in this years 2010 TEEN CHOICE AWARDS!! He is nominated for American Idol ALum & Fanatic Fans! PLEASE VOTE EVERYDAY & TELL OTHERS TOO! Let's do it for david! <3

  • Yeah Simon was in a crotchety mood..Why I wonder. Anyway man can he sing. I loved all of his songs but this was one of my favorites. Even when I watch the other songs this one just grabbed me. love it...love you David

  • personally, i don't like Sara brightman, he did pretty good !

  • Love this version! He has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard and I've heard a lot. Congratulations, David on an amazingly successful career since American Idol. You are destined for success. Love you forever!

  • Congratulations David! You sing fantastic!!! Big talent!!!

  • @martinbloo David has a lovely voice, but that's all it is. He can't write his own songs and his voice and his stage presence are nothing new - he's good but there are hundreds like him. He's Gareth Gates all over again. He has nothing special, nothing unique and that's why his career is pretty much already over.

  • @CrownedWithLaurels Hate to tell you, but he's already co-written songs which have been recorded. He's a true musical talent and his stage presence at his concerts is awesome. TV presence is not so good, but he's a great entertainer live in concert!

  • Emmy was amazing...period she was even better than sarah brightman

  • he messed up a beautiful song and put an instrument that isnt on the list of orcestra music

  • @MicahLuvFun26 he didnt mess it up. lots of artests do remakes in a way to make it thereown......im currently studing music myself so i know why he did what he did.

  • @MicahLuvFun26 You people that say he "messed up" the song---use your head. If someone tears down the Chinese restaurant where you first kissed your girlfriend, then I understand that. It's gone and you can never go back to that place. That sucks---I get it. But there is no rule saying "David covered this song, so all you people who liked the original are no longer allowed to listen to it. You have to listen to THIS one from now on."

  • I love this version!! 

  • ruined a perfectly good song...i agree with simon

  • @whatshername0789 then u suck donkey ball :)

  • It's not morbid. I want this played at my funeral, also. I also want Wicked's For Good played at my funeral.

  • 1:35 kills me. I love him

  • I love him but Im sorry musical theater songs dont suit a pop voice :)

  • I know this sounds morbid, but I would like this played at my funeral.

  • nothing beats his voice. really.

  • This is actually pretty good. I don't normally like his voice, but with this being my favorite song, I really do like it. He didn't do the extreme notes, but it was a good remix of the Broadway version.

  • why cant I buy this on iTunes???

  • @scoobimelbourne it was from Season 7s American Idol so they took it down and you can't buy past seasons songs... but i really wish i could too :l

  • when i saw this job of david its make me rly emotive, its a rly hard song for man voice and you make it bealty and soft, congrats.

  • uhh i totally love this song...wow i mean he is such an inspiration

  • OMG this is the best of version i hvae ever heard of this song. Kid, you rule.

  • It's an adequate interpretation, but the original surpass this by far. I guess from a stylistically it wasn't a great choice.

  • he made an andrew lloyd webber opera song sound like a beautiful pop ballad. very nice!

  • my new favorite song becuase of david

  • very nice......

  • i dont really like david archuleta but this is really good version of this song.

  • OMG! wow!!! david because of you it's one of my fav songs!

    GOOD JOB! this is amazing and your voice is perfect

  • I love this version with Chris! Can't listen to it enough! Dear Lord, someone come stop me please....

  • Beautiful!

  • I love Archie. He's adorable. =D

  • moving song

  • I found this Studio version on page 14.

    I love David singing this song.

    Amazing and beautiful.

  • damn he can sing.... he is soooooooooo sexc!!!!!!!!!

  • hes so cute! beautiful song

  • holy shit!! thats all i can say!!!!

  • omg!..... he's SOOO friggin amazing!

  • I'm in love with the song. It's so soothing yet powerful! :]

  • i luv this song and this version makes it sound amazing!

  • omg, this is amazing, its so cute! i like this version of the song, lots of remakes of songs suck, this one is very very good, Kudos to him

  • his voice isn't bad, but I think this song should be sung by a woman. It just doesn't seem right to hear a guy singing it....Like I said I don't think it's awful but yeah

  • you may not realize how sexist your comment is - but if you don't, that's even more sad

  • does anyone know where i can get the chords to this version??

  • Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote this song...I wonder how he liked this version? I think David did a good job

  • me gusttaaa :D

  • wow, you're cool..

  • so beautiful...both him and his voice..

  • wow.....love how he sings it

  • amazing. if you guys havn't already, see him live in concert, it will change your life ;p

  • I haven't listened to him in a while, and I seriously forgot how gorgeous his voice is until I listened to this. One of my favorite idol performance :)

  • That's simply amazing... David's got the sweetest voice and made this song even better ;)love him

  • such a soothing voice!

  • great voice

  • I wish they would put this onto Itunes

  • 太強大了!!!

  • OMG!

    i love his singing♥

  • Best version of this song I have ever heard! GO DAVID!!

  • I like his sound, but I still feel that nothing compares to the original version. Sarah Brightman was born to see this song! And the music in the movie version is the best in my opinion.

  • omg david rocked this song amaaaaaaaaaazing!

  • I can't decide between the original or this one. But I still love them both!

  • I SAW THE PHANTOM 10000 TIMES, I SAW HIS VERSION IN A I...I still can´t believe what Simon said...That guy has no idea of music...this is a perfect version Archuleta´s way to sing of a gorgeous song...

    OF COURSE, STUPID, SIMON, THIS SONG WAS MADE FOR SARAH BRIGHTMAN, And what this kid did is AMAZING

  • @aldolape1 lol I so agree this song might've been made for her but David Archuleta and Emmy Rossum both wipe the floor with her version!

  • He has such a sweet voice.

  • Where can you download the song at???? I've been looking everywhere!!!

  • waw nice voice and the melody is not bad at all... Bravo

  • So great and so soulful, love David!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Great voice, great song and nice young man!

  • awhhh.......... goosebumps...i looooove his voice
