Yes, Gerard Butler gives this song a more 'masculie' touch. Yet, I personally like this interpretation better, because I see the Phantom as someone, who is a genius on one hand, but someone who has been deeply hurt and has a fragile psyche. So making him sound too strong draws a different picture.
I don't mean to offend Mr. Butler. He's also a great artist! It's just a personal preference!
I Can Appreciate This But I Feel Strongly That Gerard Butler Still Brings The Best Masculinity To Any Table For Singing This Song. Everyone Else Pales In Comparison.
One of the best songs ever! I have to play it on piano, and sing it! I love to sing, but I get stage fright. RAWR to Phantom lovers. (RAWR is I love u in dinosaur) :) -3
@Eva12496 The original version was in the 80s, as a Broadway musical, if I'm not mistaken. The movie version came later. Not counting the 1925 movie version, which wasn't a musical. That was pre-Andrew Lloyd Webber.
I remember when I was very young and staying at my grandmother's house. She had recently received the video from my aunt and played it at night. I was simply entranced by this song and loved it. It's still my favorite.
I prefer this version over the new movie version. This one shows his emotion more. The new version's Phantom seems rough and edgy. More ridged. Computers to edit the sound don't make it better than pure talent.
The font fits very well! Thank you for sharing! Please don't let comments like those from grandia09 discourage you. Anyone who uses the language that he does probably doesn't even know what a font is!
@LadyDorien Hey, I can read and its a little hard to read. That was really rude of you to say that. How would you like it if I went and killed your mother? Its the same thing. Its rude, and uncalled for. Now, that you know how to act you should be ashamed of yourself!!!!
his voice just speaks to me i love his voice so much lol OMG i love this song SO MUCH my dad used to sing this song to me when i was a little girl and it is one of my FAVORITE songs!!!!!! i love the movie too i went and saw the phantom of the opera show on the strip it was sooooooooooooo good i felt like i was really with them,and Gerard Butler is so so awesome!!!
yea I couldn't believe that was the same guy that usually plays the "bad ass" roles. Although the Phantom wasn't really a "good guy" it's supprising to see a guy that plays the roles he has playing in an musical Opera. I always thought the Phantom was hot on his good side, but I can't believe it's the same guy they look so different
This is an amazing piece of art. I mean. Andrew Lloyd Webber sure knows how to make your jaw drop. I learned to play this on the Cello and the feeling of playing it is amazing. It's like your heart slows down and your calm and... actually, I'm like in atrance when I play it or hear it. I LOVE IT! Just as all the other songs from Phantom of the opera. This... There are no words to describe it. It's awsome
to the person who asked what legato is they are the longer notes that seem to flow into each other, thee have a musicality where staccato are short and choppy and abrupt
oh and i love this song soo much i saw the play years ago and im so sad i can't see it again it was awesomenss!!!!
I watched the movie like 7 times. I love it, and I cry each time, I certainly love their songs, and when I decided to quit chorus, my teacher decided to perform this. Its NOT fair!
@alexhasacrush ...but everyone older knows...it's not good to quit...if you quit...than it's over...as long as you try...there's always a good time...ups and downs...it's all good.=)
noone likes this musical as much as me this is all i watch on telly no cartoons or out its great i saw it on stage u gotta see it on the westend stage its sad i cried btw im 13 o :P lol bubi
