Past the Point of No Return

[cval1117]

GREAT JOB

[BelleMusique]

Thank you! This recording is so old. I really need to do something new. Just don't have much time anymore as I am going to law school now. I appreciate your comment!

[Megpara]

You have an awesome singing voice from one Soprano to another :)

[sourgirl101]

Das Lied heißt doch "Point of No Return".

[BelleMusique]

Sorry, I speak some French and Italian, but no German. Thanks for listening though!

[cval1117]

@sourgirl101 OI Es ist ein Fehler, entspannt sich dort Kumpel.

[Artix40]

your very good :)

[sissey24]

OMG your voice is lovely like amazing but for some reason I dont see you playing a Christine but like I said completely wonderful!!!

[alchemography]

You sing wonderfully.

[BelleMusique]

Thanks!

[brookeiorio]

best musical ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elianegreenpeace]

opera is better than sex...

[1JenniferMM]

"opera is better than sex"!?...Hmmmmm?.... I'm not sure if I'd go that far .... lol but I like the humor behind your point. :)

Jenn-

[bublessingz]

well i dont hav a studio, just my digital camera. u think i can do a audio recording and do a slide show wit that? sorry if i'm pestering but i cant do a video or it'll sound crappy!

[bublessingz]

very beautiful! i love ur voice! how do u put the pictures up on there instead of the video? i'm so confused!

[BelleMusique]

I put a slide show with it because this was recorded in a studio- there was no video with it, it was just an audio recording. I just used the microsoft video editing tool that came standard on my computer. Thanks for listening!

[amairani89]

Great! It's really great! thank you for recording that!

[BelleMusique]

Thanks for listening! I appreciate the comment!

[EastBayer]

Bravo!!! You did this one around 1 1/2 years ago... Why have they not swept you away to the theaters of NY by now? Nice to see you hit 50k views... You are awesome!

[svoteary]

Funny thing, its always difficult for me to hear vocals that are normally sung by the male lead, sung by females. In one concert, Sarah Brightman sang "Music of the Night" and it sounded completely wrong.

Having said that, yes I do agree with all the other comments that your voice is beautifully trained and would really encourage you to try and pursue gaining the role of Christine.

[BelleMusique]

Yeah, I did this for fun. I would have absolutely loved to have had a tenor to do a duet with. Unfortunately, I didn't have one at the time. I would like to get back into the recording studio now as this is more than two years old. Unfortunately, I have been very busy lately.

Thanks for listening!

[haavelehti]

Beautiful and perfect!!

[mileyvidsandmore]

ur very good. you sound like a opera singer! its so cool though :D

[BelleMusique]

Thanks. And... I do sing opera!

[mileyvidsandmore]

thats amazing! how old r u?

[BelleMusique]

I am 22 now, but was 20 when I recorded this.

[mileyvidsandmore]

oh ok.

[Haokunc255246]

this is amzing, i thought this was professional till i read the comments too. i would love to hear you sing think of me. ur voice is amzing. and apparently i cant spell amazing right. lol..

[BelleMusique]

Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for listening. I did record 'Think of Me' and it is on my page. Please do take a look!

[thegraceofmusic]

Phantom of the Opera is in a clss my itslf. Andrea Webber, you have once again added phenominal music for us to enjoy. Thank God for the talent he has bestowed uoun you.

[BelleMusique]

Thank you so much for listening!

[firecrosscrew]

was that u in the phantom of the opera

[SilentOneRINGS]

This was beautiful. *_*

Might I ask where you found the instrumentals for it? :D

[BelleMusique]

Thanks so much for listening. I got the backing track on ebay, actually.

[MorwenIsilme]

Holy crap! Until I read the comments I thought this was a recording right from an older play. I never imagined it was you! Way to go! You sound awesome!

[BelleMusique]

Thanks so much!

[wickedchic15]

this is amazing!!! Def. one of the best singing versions of this on youtube=D. Good luck with your singing career=D

[BelleMusique]

I enjoyed recording it. Thanks!

[akirenas]

what an awesome voice you got there!

[BelleMusique]

Thank you!

[54spiritedwill54]

Wow! That was you? It was amazing. :D I wish I had even a quarter of the amount of talent you do!

[BelleMusique]

Yes, that's me. Thank you so much for listening and for your kind comment!

[firecrosscrew]

was that u in the phantom of the opera on broadway u sound great love to see u and com eand shake ur hand dave here from ny. please send some tickets so that i can and seeu ok dave.

[BelleMusique]

This is just something I recorded in the studio. Unfortunately, I am not in the Broadway show- I am unable even to get an audition for it. Thank you for listening though!

[roXas27]

Wow. Wow. You are AMAZING. I think it's really cool that you've studied voice for so long.

I try to sing this song and fail miserably. (I have no training whatsoever.)

You should totally try out for the part on Broadway or something when graduate. :D

[BelleMusique]

Thanks for the encouragement! I still definitely have a passion for music and will undoubtedly pursue it in one way or another in the future.

[jsgirl154]

You're great! Where did you get the music to do this?

[BelleMusique]

Thank you. Ebay- surprisingly enough.

[BelleMusique]

I am from Michigan in the United States. And no, I am not a professional- I am just a college studen. I would, however, love to sing opera professionally.

[Morainehills]

I dont think it is really fair comparing her with the movie christen they both do a fantastic job. Because there is a diffrence between broadway and movies it's not fair to either of them. None the less your great!

[BelleMusique]

Thank you for listening!

[iluvmygreenpen]

Amazing voice! You could go really far with it - this coming from a fellow singer(and soprano haha)

Anyway, definitely better than the girl in the movie. Keep on singing:]

[BelleMusique]

Thanks! I appreciate your comment!

[anakarlena]

great voice.where can we hear you or watch you perform?

[BelleMusique]

Thank you so much! I am not entirely sure when I will be performing next. I just started at a new college, so my schedule is quite crazy right now. I do work a lot with Riverwalk theatre in Lansing, however. I may do something there in the late spring. I also have plans to perform in a couple of my College's shows in the future.

[bpa4mlb]

Very professional sounding

[BelleMusique]

Thanks!

[amoriartybar]

i only wish i had the kind of training you had.Your amazing

[BelleMusique]

Thank you! Lots of work, but I love doing it!

[jyotij888]

You are most certainly professional quality! Are you trained? Wonderful!

[BelleMusique]

Thanks! Yes, I have studied voice for almost 10 years now.

[PaNIcMyhEaRTtOdEaTh]

wow this is beautiful

[BelleMusique]

Thanks!

[ashobscurum]

Amazing voice!

[BelleMusique]

Thank you!

[kailaboo123]

Your voice is soooo beautiful!!!

I love this song to,one of my fav parts in the movie.

[BelleMusique]

Thanks!

[bubblesforBella]

You seem to have an accent. Other than that, it's great. Nice to someone other than me has a voice. Srry.

[BelleMusique]

An accent? I am curious as to what you are hearing. Midwestern US accent? Thanks for the comment.

[Geenra]

Oh wow, I love this song....and you just repaired all the damage done to it by Gerard Butler. :D Thank you for that.

You have a gorgeous voice - try and get yourself on Broadway so I can come to your performances!

[BelleMusique]

Thank you very much! This was a fun song to do!

[mwiiest]

Wow, are you singing professionally? You should!

[BelleMusique]

I am not singing professionally, no. I would certainly love to, however. As of now, I am still in college. Thanks for listening!

[graysonbatman]

you have a very beautiful and majestic voice

[BelleMusique]

Thank you!

[Gaborozo]

I have seen your web site. I wish luck to reach your finish.You have an incredible beatiful voice.

[Gaborozo]

I love this muscial. All parts special this. Thanks BelleMusique

[BelleMusique]

Thanks for listening!

[RachaelB]

Another fab song from you. Your voice is perfect for the role of Christine!xx

[BelleMusique]

Thanks for your comment!

[Voltenia]

That was absolutely beautiful. I wish you had played Christine in the movie; your voice is so much better than hers, yours seem much more trained and powerful. Are you classically trained? I was just wondering.

[BelleMusique]

Thank you. Yes, I do have classical training and I would have loved to be in the movie. Unfortunately no one asked me to audition. lol

[Voltenia]

Well that stinks, I'm sure that if you had auditioned they would have chosen you. I am also completely positive that you would have done a much better job in the part of Christine.

I would definitely buy a cd of your recordings.

[89werewolf89]

I love this song! You sing it perfectly!! You're defiantly going somewhere!

[BelleMusique]

Thank you so much!

[EastBayer]

♥ You're really amazing! Somehow you'll break through that Catch-22. If Esmee Denters can go from YouTuber to end up on Justin Timberlake's record label, I have high hopes for you. Bravo, dear! Would love to hear you sing "I'd give my life for you" from Miss Saigon or "Somewhere" from West Side Story sometime. Good Luck!

[BelleMusique]

I am very flattered! I would really like to think that I will find a way to make it. Whether or not that will happen, I have no idea. I do intend to keep singing though. Hopefully I will be able to record some new songs soon. Thanks for listening!

[LovexKimx]

oh right sorry

[BelleMusique]

Quite alright.

[LovexKimx]

Why is the girl singing the male part in the beginning??

[BelleMusique]

Because I don't have a tenor to do duets with.

[ChRiStInEDaAePOTOLUV]

steve barton played the phantom?i thought he played that other guy........

[BelleMusique]

He played Raoul but later he did go on to play the Phantom.

[feuxfollets1395]

Your voice is beautiful. I hope you get an audition.

No professional recording I've ever heard has had a strong American accent, although that might just be the recordings I've heard. So you might want to work on that. But it's a great performance.

[BelleMusique]

Thanks for your comment!

[broadwayjoe123]

You really do sing the roles of the Phantom and Christine Daae really beautiful! My dream is to play the Phantom someday! I have seen the show on stage 5 times on tour! And guess what? The fifth time I went to see it, I saw it with Gary Mauer as the Phantom he was great for a Phantom! He too has inspiered me to play the Phantom!Eventhough the first Phantom I heard on CD was Michael Crawford I found him when I was 7!

[BelleMusique]

I was fortunate enough to see Gary Mauer as the Phantom as well. He was wonderful. I also saw Brad Little who was spectacular. My favorite, however, is Hugh Panaro. I absolutely adore him.

[broadwayjoe123]

Did you see Hugh Panaro,Gary Mauer and Brad Little in New York? My top 10 Phantoms: 1. Michael Crawford (definatly) 2. Gary Mauer 3. Brad Little 4. Ted Keegan 5. Colm Wilkinson 6. Gerard Butler 7. Hugh Panro 8. Steve Barton 9. Thomas Borchert 10. Uwe Kroger 9.

[BelleMusique]

No, I saw them on tour. Your list surprises me. Colm Wilkinson and Gerard Butler would not make it into my top ten. Colm's vibrato bugs me and Gerard Butler, in my opinion, simply was not good.

[broadwayjoe123]

You're right I should'nt have placed Gerard Butler and Colm Wilkinson in my list of top 10 Phantoms I'm sorry. can you sing Music of the Night for your next video?

[broadwayjoe123]

One of my school guidence councelors saw Phantom in Canada with Colm Wilkinson I was so jealous! Eventhough, I own the original Canadian cast starring Colm Wilkinson! I also own the Les Miserables Concert recording and the original Broadway recording where he played Jean Valjean!

[yourlifemygame]

wow... i can see from the previous comments that this is your voice. AMAZING! :) i am from Hawaii and my friend and i are flying to New York this summer for this summer program... we're gonna get a backstage tour on this broadway show! SOOO FRICKEN EXCITED! CAN'T WAIT! XD HOLY...! XDDD but yeah... AWESOME voice! ;D

[BelleMusique]

Thanks! Have a great time in New York!

[broadwayjoe123]

How did you manage to get the music and the Phantom of the Opera photos to go with this video? It's awesome!

[BelleMusique]

A lot of time on the internet. lol. A lot of searching. I ended up with quite a collection.

[itsmematthew]

Awesome job!!! This is one of my favorites :D

Just out of curiosity, where did you get the karaoke instrumental version to this song... I've been looking for it.

[BelleMusique]

Thanks. I got it off of ebay, actually. I swear... they have everything!

[itsmematthew]

Thanks & good luck!!!

That would be amazing for you to get the part.

Where do you try out???

[BelleMusique]

For Phantom? New York and Las Vegas in the states, I believe... if you can get an audition- which I can't.

[Liir6]

Whoa! You should really go on to those broadway shows.

[BelleMusique]

I'd love to if they'd have me! Thanks for listening!

[emofag97]

i dont think thats her voice -.-..(video I made for the song I just recorded-) good vid anyways, and if thats your voice, sorry. but i dont think it is..>.<

[BelleMusique]

Yes, that is my voice, actually. Though it's flattering that you think it is good enough that you doubt that fact.

[clarklesparkle]

You belong on Broadway. You have an amazing soprano voice, clear, rich, and with plenty of emotion.

[BelleMusique]

Thanks!

[DefyGravity464]

WOW. That was BEAUTIFUL! I'd looooove to be on Broadway one day, but I can't sing. >_< And especially not like that!! Great job! :)

[BelleMusique]

Thank you!

[lazuzu]

Very well done, this is my favorite song from the Phantom of the Opera and you gave it justice and I have no complaints. Bravo!

[BelleMusique]

Thanks! I appreciate the comment.

[littlemissdracula]

omfg this is ma fave song frm like the whole show, and u sang it rly rly well, and if i can say, better than the person who sang it when i saw it live. ur amazing!!!

[BelleMusique]

Thank you so much! I am very flattered!

[KSab02]

HOLY SHIT!!!! excuse my french. THAT GAVE ME MORE GOOSEBUMPS THAN YOU THINK OF ME!!!!!!!! YOU'RE SOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BelleMusique]

Thanks! I'm glad that you liked it.

[tedmacat]

ur voice is just so lovely!

i was wondering.. could u sing the main song, Phantom of the Opera? or is that too far out of ur range? ur voice is just too beautiful, i want to hear more of it! XD

[BelleMusique]

That's well within my range. The problem is that I don't have a tenor to sing duets with. Otherwise I would love to sing that song. Thanks for listening.

[ShanShan17]

if you want to audition, I would start off with small theatre groups like Off-off Broadway. If you get paid, then technically it's a professional show. So what I would do is find a small theatre group to audition for, join them and perform some shows, join the Actors Union, do some more shows to get your name out there then if people like you, which I bet they will, they'll ask you to audition for a part and hopefully you'll get the part.

[BelleMusique]

Yes, but not all professional shows have actors from the union. All of the big shows have contracts with the actors union. The bigger the show is, the more union actors they have to hire. I am not clear on the specifics of how big/small a theatre has to be, but it gets incredibly tricky. My voice teacher just got Union membership though, but it took her a really long time. She's in a professional show in Detroit right now. I'm very excited for her.

[Sarahxxlou]

omg! probably the most amazing voice on youtube! seriously so talented and yet your not famous, someone should definitely give you an audition :D amazing luv it xx

[BelleMusique]

Thank you! I definitely wish they would. I don't really care about being famous, but I would absolutely love to be able to have a career as a performer.

[Sarahxxlou]

you really really deserve to be on stage, i want to be onstage, but i lack confidence lol why did you never get an audition for a show?? xx

[BelleMusique]

Getting an audition is hard. You have to be a member of the Actor's union, which I'm not. To get to be part of the union you have to get part in a professional show, but to get an audition for a professional show you have to be in the union. It is a Catch-22. Basically, you have to know someone who can get you in. I don't know anyone.

[Sarahxxlou]

awhh thats too bad, its really stupid and confusing lolso its really hard to even get in a union, i'd have no chance. Anyway, best of luck in the future, i hope you succeed! :D xx

[BelleMusique]

Thanks!

[kaw29]

Great voice,you're very talented and I hope that in the future we will listen to you in a theatre,possibly at her majesty's theatre in London...

[BelleMusique]

Thanks! I'd absolutely love that. Unfortunately, it probably isn't going to happen. I can't even get an audition.

[CHRISATLGRL76]

Wow! That was wonderful. It is like you married the innocence of Emmy Rossum with the passion of Sarah Brightman! Good luck to you! I hope that your dream of singing the part of Christine comes true!

[BelleMusique]

Very high praise- thank you!

[rbfanatic]

You have such an amazing voice! I love it! When did you start to sing songs from Phantom? I started learning the songs when I was olny 7 when I discovered Phantom!

[BelleMusique]

Well, I didn't think I could sing the songs from Phantom for a long time. I thought I was an alto. Turns out I'm a Coloratura Soprano. lol. Thanks for the kind comment!

[KThompson2006]

that was cool!!! i can here a cello i love cello...

...uhh...  ...were is the phantom's voice...

...uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hh.

[BelleMusique]

Thanks. I lack a tenor, therefore I made it into a solo. Call it... umm... creative license. lol.

[LittleShopAudrey]

Again, beautiful. If i had half your talent, I'd be posting myself singing too!! Where did you get you backing tracks?

xx

[BelleMusique]

Thanks. I got the backing tracks off of ebay, actually.

[LittleShopAudrey]

hmm.. cool. I'll be having a wee look there i think!

x

[adsica2]

I've just got one thing to say, simply beautiful! :-)

[BelleMusique]

Thanks!

[blackmyth]

Your voice is absolutely stunning! Keep singing! You're great! *favs*

[BelleMusique]

Thank you! I intend to. I tried to give up music and theatre once to please my parents and be 'practical'... that didn't work out too well. lol.

[poisonivy1138]

Wow! That was you? It was amazing. :D I wish I had even a quarter of the amount of talent you do!

[BelleMusique]

Yep, that's me. Thank you so much for your kind comment!

[archian88]

My god your voice...just incredible...far better than Emma Rossums...on par with Sarah Brightman's! Wow....

[BelleMusique]

Thank you! I am very flattered.

[vos42]

Beautiful and haunting. Thank you so much.

[BelleMusique]

Glad you like it. Thanks for commenting!

[marissaisgod]

Lovely job.

[BelleMusique]

Thanks for listening!

[lifetimefitness316]

wow... beautiful... you should do one of wishing you were somehow here again!

[BelleMusique]

I plan to record that the next time I am in the studio.

[sedna273]

Beautiful voice, Belle. It's rare, at least in my opinion, to find self-produced videos on youtube that are of good quality...Congrats.

[BelleMusique]

Thank you. I put a lot of work into it.

[LilyoftheThorns]

I loved it! I'm jealous!

[BelleMusique]

Thanks for your comment!

[sedna273]

No problem. Please keep singing and posting.

[Izzy135]

that is a beautiful voice

[BelleMusique]

Thanks. I am very glad that you like it.

[Kagome0427]

you have a great voice

[BelleMusique]

Thank you

[xangelofmusic101]

I love your voice every time I hear it. Definitley update ^_^ I'd love to hear how you're progressing.

[Slimdawgc]

You SANG this!? I'm impressed. You could put more emotion into it though - just let yourself go girl!

[BelleMusique]

Thanks. I plan to re-record at some point. It's been almost a new year now and I have a new voice teacher who has helped me break some bad habits.

[Aries1187]

Your very good...however, this song is ment for both the Phantom and Christine...you should have gotten a friend to sing with you or just done Christines half..it's odd only hearing one person. Not nearly as dramatic....you where very good though...really.

[AmericanGeisha13]

-jaw drops- Stupendous! -applauds- I'm getting voice lessons when I'm 15, and I hope to sound as good as this after a few years!

[BelleMusique]

Thanks! Voice lessons definitely help. Have a great time and keep singing!

[AngelicDelight]

You have a wonderfully angelic voice - I hope you go places with it. Congrats. *faves the clip* ~AngelicDelight

[BelleMusique]

Thanks! Always nice to hear- particularly after I've had a rather bad week.

[PoorUnhappyErik]

Waw Bel Canto!

You have a truly wonderful voice
