Compare the Phantoms 2: "Why So Silent?"

[dloc0925]

i think Ramin did an excellent job with the balance of softness and harshness of the Phantom's character that clearly came out in his video.

[ukulelejake88]

Have to agree with the too much vibrato and over singing from most of these guys. I prefer this scene kind of talk-singing in a menacing way. As much as I hate to go with the crowd on most things Crawford is the best of the bunch here.

[MsLailai123]

Favorite is still Michael Crawford

[CRASHPRO123456777865]

I love Gary Mauer's action before he "vanishes." And Crawford's ending shout was ehhhh. :/

[ukulelejake88]

I really tried to stay open minded and not immediately go with Crawford but after listening a few times I have to say he is my favorite.

[jazzownik]

John Owen-Jones....

[corasings1]

they are all terrible.except for crawford. none of them are scary at all. at least mc can act. and what is up with the waay exagerrated vibratto in their voices especially ramin. it ruins their vocal quality and is making a mockery of opera. the classic phantoms never over did it.

[ChangeYourStars23]

@corasings1 Well first off, this isn't opera, it is musical theatre. Second, you can barely see Michael so that's not a fair comparison at all. I will agree with you about Ramin, since the lad barely knows how to sing.

What "classic" Phantoms are you referring to?

[TheAngelofmusic12345]

@ChangeYourStars23 -_-

[falkon26]

for me ramin is the best,i love the red death costume.

[ellekarma]

Earl Carpenter is the best! his every step was very deliberate, just like a tiger waiting to pounce. but Ramin managed to scare me just by listening to his voice and singing, he conveyed everything just by his voice. Amazing.

[Chambers4181]

HOPPER

[lemonjamz]

Michael Crawford. Hands down.

[xlonglostlotrelf]

Michael Crawford <3

[xxneongirskittlesxx]

I love John and Ramin the best. But, even though he's not on here, I LOVE JOJ's version of it!

[RosesNightengales]

My Favorites: Hugh Panaro (Reason: Kinda creepy, Childish and insane all in one), Ramin Karimloo(Reason: Because he's awesome and my new favorite) & Gary Mauer (Reason: Because awesome voice! as well)

[LunaAumento]

I love Hugh the best because of his voice, and cockiness playing the phantom. Sarcastic, and almost childish. Wonderful acting.

[Chambers4181]

lotso

[liamblackere]

Ok I think we are forgeting something , we are compareing the phantoms body doubles !!

[ChangeYourStars23]

@liamblackere Actually it is the main actor who walks down the stairs. The double doesn't appear until he sings 'Your chains are still mine..." etc, and disappears, then the double runs up the stairs and screams and laughs.

[TKDLION]

I wish I had a Red Death costume so I could wear it on Halloween.

[TKDLION]

I liked Hugh Panaro best because of his head movements and how he worked the mouth on that mask. I liked Earl Carpenter second best because he was very manacing. John Cudia had the best costume though.

[iheartfaxxx]

The awkward moment when the Phantom falls down the stairs :S

[MsXxxKittiexxx]

micheal and the earl dude r the best

[YukiSilverFox72]

I really liked Ramin Karimloo's performance. There was a certain elegance in it and my gosh... Elegance can be terrifying if it's done right and he has that elegance. Plus his "disappearing act" was spot on and freakin' majestic! Swirl that cape, Ramin, oh yeah!!

[PinkCarnationProDux]

Gosh! I LOVED Earl Carpenter. Never heard of him before. I loved how he walked down the steps. Scary.

What font did you use?

[ChangeYourStars23]

@PinkCarnationProDux Oh, he's one of the absolute best, one of my 3 favorites in the whole world. Check out the Music of the Night video I have of him on my channel. He'll break your heart.

For the "Compare the Phantoms' font I used is simply called 'Phantom of the Opera font'. Type it in on Google and you should find a couple different versions.

[phangirl1986]

Earl Carpenter. I loved how he played around with the tempo a bit, and how he makes every action so sharp and deliberate, like when he points at the chandelier, or even just tilts his head. But Ramin and Gary have the best disappearances at the end. btw, how awkward would it be if Christine's necklace failed to break when the Phantom snatched it off her neck? lol

[village283]

Hugh acting is the best, and i want see how joj paly red death....

thank you for sharing～

[frossty100]

Hugh Forever <3

[Star4life45]

Deff hughh! Omgsh.

[Suzyy23]

Ramin is the best, the power and emotion he puts into every song makes him the better Phantom.

[ThePhanFullerton]

Gary's first line sounded very Crawfordian.

I love Panaro but this wasn't one of his best performances.

[kasia1milka15]

Vocally I definitely like John and Earl the most :) Well maybe John a little bit more:) But Michael Crawford felt the anger of the song and he did a great acting :) hard choice :) But I think John did the best :)

[RosesNightengales]

The Red Death Costume is always my favorite. (:

[ohfilms1]

@RosesNightengales which one is better lon chaney or musical not gerry butler

[RosesNightengales]

@ohfilms1 musical version and Chaney!!!

[ShadowDwellerXXX]

lol there was a phantom mishap with some show when he tossed the book and the guy didnt catch it. all you heard was a loud THUMP! and the phantom just stared at him XD

[xReikoStudios]

Michael Crawford and Ramin... Michael makes it sound kind of mysterious and like he's gonna kill you..in my opinion anyways

[EmilyLovesErikPOTO]

Ramin and John Cudia! <3

[Sandycarnevale]

Was at Michael Crawford's last Broadway performance and he was, and is fabulous, BUT I am sold on Ramin Karimloo!

[auto4532]
