1:16 to 1:20, and particularly when the Phantom sings "...in shadow I hide..."

...does anybody else feel like they just fell in love?! I'm not a music person so I have no idea why this sounds so beautiful (perhaps its because the instrument and Gerard's voice hit the same note [I think]), but GOOD GOD is it splendid!!! <3

[tilltherewasyou13]

@ErikGerryPOTOlover5

oh, you're right, I'm sorry. In both the show I saw and the recording I have they say fluttering, but I guess its interchangeable

[ErikGerryPOTOlover5]

@tilltherewasyou13 Only a letter difference haha it's okay :)

[tilltherewasyou13]

it's fluttering child! not flattering!

[ErikGerryPOTOlover5]

@tilltherewasyou13 it's flattering.

[myvictoryismine1]

Who could not LOVE this song?!  Those 5 people who disliked it can go to hell.

[PirateRagettiLove]

I actullay think Michael Crawford was too epic for the Phantom, and he kinda overdid it. But, that's just my opinion.

[pianogirl837]

Emmy is the best, she is the best singer in movie.

[SuperTaffyTV]

@Seastar4374

HAHAHHA that is HILARIOUS i did somthing similar but cant remember what it was.

lol

[mcd6697]

I am falling in love with this song....-3

[mariofanlover]

i saw the play at HCHS and i loved it

[MoonmakersDaughter]

I know that Gerard Butler has a terrible voice for the role, but has any other Phantom ever come near Michael Crawford's performance?

[Waxingbeauty]

i have no idea how all of you think the movie surpasses the sage performances.. i have seen in Sydney, NYC, Melbourne... at least the leads in the stage performances can really sing and do it 8 times a week

It is not just with this movie... every time they turn a stage production into a movie they screw it up somehow

[soul416]

@Waxingbeauty Emmy really CAN sing and she's better than 90% of the stage versions, and most of them are actually opera singer so that says a lot. Stage performances are also overacted and not very realistic. The only thing that screwed up this movie is having terrible-acting Gerard Butthead as the Phantom.

[punkrockgirljp]

I am in love with this scene.... <3

[houseofnightjunkie1]

doesn't the phantoms voice make you want to melt!?

[SuperDracolover]

i was frightened wen i first saw this but now i luv the angle

[23smell]

when i first saw this momrnt (Gerards angree voice) i was scared!!!

[hechen96]

I agree, i luv the phantom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RedRosesLast4eva]

I love this part of the movie. The first time I saw it, I was totally enchanted. The Phantom is so powerful with his voice, but it's beautiful. <3 <3 I love you Phantom!!

[TheRodriguez06]

jerry



[sermongirl]

Michael said it best when he said " Im starting with the man in the mirror " lol.

[gymnast5star]

1:24 my favortie part! (:

[ChangeOfTimesx]

Broadway does it best.

[LittleAngelic88]

Emmy has the voice of an angel :) And Gerard is so sexy,ALWAYS!

[EmoPrincess242]

emmy rossum and gerard butler did a brill job in this song!!!! (as well as the whole film)

[Pokemon76MayXDrew]

i thought all the actors did a REALLY great job in the movie

doing the phantom of the opera in movie form is pretty hard y'know

but i must say the staged version is great, it took my breath away, and i was only nine when i saw it

but they shouldn't have let out the the bass when the phantom was taking christine into the mirror, that really putt he suspense into it

[soul416]

@Pokemon76MayXDrew Not even close. Butler can't sing or act, so it wasn't that hard considering who they hired to do it - hence why it made like nothing in the box office. The stage version isn't any better, Emmy has a better voice for the music anyway, plus the Phantom on-stage generally looks like a woman with lipstick on.

[SuperTaffyTV]

@Pokemon76MayXDrew

YAY

[Kiarrii]

To truly appreciate The Phantom of the Opera you have to see it live. I saw it in Las Vegas last year and it was absolutely breathtaking. I do still love the movie but it will never live up to what I had experienced from the theatre. <3

[vote4dancingpenguin]

theatre is always better then some movie, the acting is aways better

[Pokemon76MayXDrew]

totally agree, especially when its the phantom of the opera

[TBWuk]

West End is the best...

[Vivalblue]

Agreed, i saw only the dvd version, and it was pretty good!

[mistressofwolves132]

@Kiarrii i agree. I went to Lansing, Michigan to see it. I loved it. I felt like I was on cloud 9 when it was over. I want to see it again live.

[halfmoontime]

I love the music of this movie how they say from 2004. I heared before

[Chrisrex83]

...sorry, also just wanted to say that I wish they hadn't of left out the Loud thumping bass in the mirror scene. The bass added to the suspense as the Phantom beckoned Christine toward the mirror, and I just wasn't feeling it in the movie.

My thoughts, If you truely want to experience The Phantom, I would suggest you go see the stage version and not rely on the re-adapted version they used for the movie.

[Chrisrex83]

Being a suporter of the stage version, I did not like how they humanized the phantom so much in the movie. ie: they showed him locking the door in the mirror scene, he was shown switching bottles for Carlotta's voice in Il Muto, and they had him walk through a mirror to end the show. These were all done 'magically' in the stage prodution, and if they make the phantom dissapear beneath his cloak on stage, surely they could do the same on film...

[Asupergirl09]

But not everyone has seen a stage version so you have to realize that most people need that extra two seconds like you said of him switching bottles you cant just expect everyone to know that, ppl are sorta stupid when it comes to musicals. they dont understand like people that watch them constantly like alot of the people that watch this on youtube

[aeromilagro85]

Also, actually-- my only complaint about the movie version (being a Phantom fan AND a special effects makeup artist) was Gerard's Phantom makeup-- it was good.... if you wanted to go for someone with, eh, a few relatively nasty burns here and there. I'm sorry, but if you're gonna do the Phantom, he needs to look like he's missing half his freaking face due to a housefire, not just an uper layer of epidermis or two due to a wayward chimanaya. Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent comes to mind suddenly.

[aeromilagro85]

Eh, Emmy is real hit or miss with me. Some stuff she rocks the s**t out of (like this, for example) and other stuff leaves some to be desired (like her ending vocalizations in this, yeesh-- granted, we can't all be Sarah Brightman). All in all, I think she did pretty decent!

[dhom100]

I think she auditioned for Andrew Webber in his living room when she was 16. he picked the right girl I think. not only has great singing voice but she seems innocent, the way Christine should be portrayed.

[Viktoryaaa1]

noooo

[hannyisdabomb]

ok umm...whoever says she didnt sing for real is stupid and wrong! everyone one in the movie sang their own parts except carlotta or whatever her name is...gosh!

[Eriksgirl66]

Actually Carlotta did sing her own part, until it can to the French version. And yes, every one sang there own part.

[randomquotage]

No she didn't. Minnie Driver, who played Carlotta, was dubbed by Margaret Preece, a professional opera singer. All principals are not dubbed.

[phantomphan4ever1]

@randomquotage nope, if Minnie Driver was dubbed why would she sing the credits song learn to be lonely?

[FantasmaLuna]

@phantomphan4ever1 She was dubbed for the role of Carlotta because she is a singer, but she isn't a classically trained opera singer.

[phantomphan4ever1]

@FantasmaLuna It says that Minnie Driver sung, not just the credits part, but sung as Carlotta. I am a total fan, and I always know this stuff because no one was dubbed I know for a fact! :) I'm 99% sure I'm right! :)

[FantasmaLuna]

@phantomphan4ever1 No, I remember in the behind the scenes look, she talked about how she was the only one who was dubbed because she wasn't an opera singer. The main reason she was chosen for the role was because of how funny she was.

[phantomphan4ever1]

@FantasmaLuna Are you positive? Because I swear I watched all of them on 2-disc edition and even more like interviews on youtube. I didn't hear that, so can you tell me where that was... not that I don't believe you. :)

[FantasmaLuna]

@phantomphan4ever1 I think it was an interview with the cast on The View when they were promoting the movie.

It also says in the imdb trivia that she had no operatic experience and was dubbed by Margaret Preece. It's also pretty easy to tell the difference between the two voices are when she sings "Learn to be Lonely." My father actually works in opera and he said that Preece's voice sounded like it had taken YEARS of operatic training and there was training in Driver's voice, but not operatic.

[phantomphan4ever1]

@FantasmaLuna Well thanks! But when I heard phantom went the view i looked it up and it says no one was dubbed! But I'm assumming IMDB is more accuracte than the View

[soul416]

@FantasmaLuna Then it's better apparently to not have trained operatically, considering that most opera singers including the original Christine (Sarah Brightman) - run their words together and can't enunciate. I prefer Minnie's voice because at least you can understand the words that she sings. And it's funny that Preece "Clearly" has operatic training and yet she's just a teacher - so she's obviously not that good.

[hannyisdabomb]

she was 18. and i wish this vid was of the whole thing....i love this movie!!!!! xDDDD

[Immortalisation]

Emmy Rossum was eighteen when they started I checked but wikipedia isnt always right

[ILuvkitties14]

Yeah she was sixteen

[justabroadwaybay91]

she was 16 when she auditioned. she was 18 when they were actually filming and stuff. at least i think that's right :)

[Pinklady765]

okay. i LOVE this movie and the phantom, and the song. but i just hate her expression at 1:33 to 2:04. ur lips are so weird and she isn't even singing. oh an she was 16 when she did this not 18

[dolphi28]

ur wrong she was 18 do the math...she was born 1986 and the was produced in 2004=18 duh

[mfkr1014]

Nope, Wikipedia says she was 16.

Wikipedia. is. truth.

;]

[dolphi28]

i got this from wikipedia...duh

[ElladoraDuBois]

Wikipedia. Is. Edited. <3

Thats why we aren't allowed to use it for some school projects anymore.

[ILuvkitties14]

But she was probably 16 when they started filming.

[bobsmen300]

lol so true, she looks so weird

[Peachesgrrl]

I loved this phantom! I am always floored when I think about how the same man went on to movies like 300! His voice is like silk.

[MilDarkAngel]

Gerard has such manly and sexy voicee!!

[Peachesgrrl]

I realized I was a woman when I heard him sing!

...

OK so I already knew I was a woman, but dear God!

[MilDarkAngel]

jajaja

100% AGREE WITH YOU!!

OMG!!!

[Peachesgrrl]

lmao

Damn, I'm drooling... :3

[HorseStar3]

YEAH! I totallly agree. THE PHANTOM WAS AWESOME! lol.

[Furpop]

i hated this phantom

[Impartial15]

It's amazing to think that she's only 18.

SheyarahAeth...what you say is true. If you haven't seen that film then I suggest you do. It's a brilliant fantasy.

[dreamdewil]

It's kinda odd when you realize this is the same guy that played Leonidas in "300".

[thisbveryannoyin]

THIS

IS

OPERA!!!!!!!!!! lol

[KidnapedLily]

I would die to have someone like the phantom! so poetic and artistic! He's beautiful really..

[XxRoxorasXSweetieXx]

i know what you mean it would be amazing. im sorry i wanted to put the thumbs up but it accidentally clicked on the thumbs down. sorry!

[srj5577]

i am right there with you i love him!

[SheyarahAeth]

Yeeeeah- I'd love him to and wish he payed attention to me if he wasn't a psycho who killed people if he didn't get his way >_>

You want a poetic, artistic badguy who's still a sweety? Look the the Goblin King in Labrynth!

[Keerah305]

thank you! i love how theres a whole playlist!

[menslady125]

Raoul: Christine...Angel!

[2012Kukulkan2012]

I love it =)

[AveNocturnus]

Brilliant!

[BarryManilowFan4eva]

LOVE IT!!

[TheMusicOfTheNight96]

WOW! His voice was at the same time little bit of scary/really calling/Just simply awesome! I love this scene! I'm glad that Christine chose Erik over Raoul, in this scene.

[phantomobsessed]

they dont stop if half way through the song/ The mirror(angel of music) and the phantom of the opera are seperate songs

[toysgrrl]

What's the song right after she goes through the mirror. I had the cd but lost it.

[toysgrrl]

nevermind duh . The Phantom of the Opera.

[arais628]

hmmm....i just prefer him..because of his delicate..and he's fragile..i prefer him as the phantom..even..he doesn't need mask to look so pretty in this scene..no mask..i just prefer him as he is..sweet scene..just delicate...

[bigfanjobrolove]

yeah i hav the cd and the people singing r differnt

[Mc2008FLY]

yeah! clear! because on the CDs are opera singers!

they have musical voices!! :)

[awv12345678910]

i love this song this is my fav song from the phantom of the opera. we watched this movie in music class at my school. now we r watching star wars cause of the cool sound effects

[angelbaby224]

i fucken love him!!!!!!!!!

[MangoSmoothie94]

Ohh! I looove this part! Looove it!!!!

[awv12345678910]

the phantoms real face is kinda scary:(

[Sparrowcompass]

Christine say Hi Gerald Bulter! King Of Sparta!

[Sparrowcompass]

How could the Phantom blow out all those candles?

[Zukoluver5]

He's magical! OOOOOOOOO

[spicyhabenera1559]

you can do incredible things on your birthday... trust me ;)

[Chocsii]

i guess it was the draft from the secrect passage behind the mirror?

[CandyCaneCatz]

flipping hell why wont no one play the whole song >:(

[IBroughtTheNight]

YEAH! I wonder that to!!!

[maltshop8]

favorite part of whole movie

[sclub5]

Fab Movie!! Shame it stops when they hold hands!

[lovertjeyou]

When I saw this scene for the first time I thought it was me...

[countryrose93]

what you mean?

[beeautifulgirl]

huh??

[Sugarkitten12]

What do you mean? Like she looks like you? or you've been in this situation?

[patriotpossum]

"You've been in this situation?"

ROTFL hahahah! First time i laughed today! Thanks :)

[SiberianKat]

when I first saw this movie I was crying by the end, and I don't usually cry while watching movies (that was the first time!) I love this movie!

[Firebabe1000]

@SiberianKat me too!!! just saw it actally but I saw it years ago too!!! :D

[celinegwyn]

Great scene!!!!!!!! When I saw this scene for the first time, I was freezing and I thought that someone was behind me and that he touched my hands. But I looked behind me and there was nobody.......!!!!!!!!

[rogueraven130]

I just love part 1:25+

[trafficlights1]

i love opera!!! ^_^

lol, i've had countless funny looks from people after saying that, i suppose its just not normal with me being 13 years old :P

[mierandaaa]

The mirror is actually a door.

But why stopt the movie halfway the song??.

[cheezitgirl]

Because it starts the POTO theme song when she grabs his hand.

[eava123]

i love it but it bugs me so much when he says "I am your angel of music, come to my angel of music."

[cheezitgirl]

Christene thinks the Phantom is her father. He used to say to her he was the angel of music. You need to watch to music to understand it.

[eava123]

IK but he just says it in an anoring way. lol

[cheezitgirl]

He's hypnotizing her.

His voice give me chills.

Ooooo

[MicroH07]

I loove His voice!

[cheezitgirl]

SO DO I! -squeals-

I've seen the play too. IT ROCKED MAH SOCKS

[MicroH07]

When i saw the musical fist time i was just crying and crying, like forever!

[simsfreakdance]

hey!!..I was wondering where can i find the whole movie?

I saw only the first part where they sell items of the opera and then we see the chandeliar and we go back to the past..so canyouplease tell me where can I find the whole movie??

[cheezitgirl]

I'm not sure O.O

You have to buy it -gasp-

There might be some on Youtube

[countryrose93]

Its at a lot of rental places if you check them, SaveMart has rentals for like, $.99 sometimes you can also buy it discounted at some grocery stores and rental places, also Target and Walmart, places like that. Good Luck!

[MicroH07]

Her father did not say that he was the Angel Of Music... He said that when he died, he would send her The Angel Of Music...

[cheezitgirl]

Correct. I found it out in the song before :D

[eava123]

I need to know how he did the mirror trick.

[eava123]

OMG. you r crazy.

[zuperh3ro]

I must confess that i HATE opera...BUT, this movie has made up my mind., the way they make this musical opera...it's so...outstanding! it's amazing! Perhaps it's a little bit rock also? I love it :)

[karatePrincess67]

it is a rock opera :D

[r8p6]

One of my favorite scenes in the whole movie!

[aquaangelofmusic]

This is sucha cool movie. one of my favorite parts of it is this one. there are a lot of mistakes, but it's still a gr8 movie.

[luvsbasketball]

amazing

[pumpkinxxpeazy]

<3 Gerard Butler.

[RockMySoxxs]

Agreed! :D

[pumpkinxxpeazy]

It's like all the Gerard's are the most sexy people alive. Gerard Way, Gerard Butler...I'll take Gerard Way. ANY freaking day. lol

[RockMySoxxs]

Lmao, Gerard way is fit but nahh Gerard Butler id choose! :D There jus summat bout him.. lol

[dramaqueen7777777]

Emmy does the whole possessed thing reli well, i have 2 admit sarah brightman fab voice but her eyes scare me

[1heart2luvrz]

thats a very high voice

[mcrfreek139]

GERARD BUTLERR IS SOOO SEXY!

[Trombonemaster87]

I personally don't like Gerald Butler's voice that much.

[PequenaLotte]

Her voice is wonderful!

[hayama317]

is she a surprano? sry if I spelled it wrong

[SweetMidnightKiss]

its sOprano i think and yh i think she is

[gobears1987]

Her voice isn't good.

Rachel Barrell(sp) would be perfect.

[kissymissy08]

I used to hate her voice, but the more I hear it, the more I like it. Sort of grows on you. But I do think that sarah brightman is better.

[geordiegalxx]

sarah brightman is better... the original christene

[christinedaaeopera]

Emmy's voice is so pure and beautiful, have u guys heard that Sarah Brightman chick, she STINKS, Emmy is so much better its not even funny!

[thealliances]

Where is the part where she places her hand on his and then start singing the song down to his dungeon?

Send link, please! That's my uttermost favorite part.

[StupidCupid300]

Beautiful...thanks for posting it!

[Una7654]

I wish I hac a sexy Angel of Music!!!!!!!

[briahna93]

oh after this song the phantom of the opera song starts

[lightningmikester]

She looks like she's drugged at 1:58, but I heard the Phantom would sometimes control her mentally.

[RavenDarknessQueen]

lol

[silverypavement]

One of the best scenes in the film! I love how when Emmy is singing "Angel my soul was weak, forgive me" she hangs her head like she's ashamed. I also love how she uses her eyes to express her emotions! (She does this before her AOM duet with Meg too, when the Phantom is whispering her name.)

[misspascal101]

When I watched this me and my friends were so scared when Gerard started singing cuz it was really loud and this video brings back memories

[nocjosh]

I've watched interviews with these two. They seem pretty down to earth. Gerry is just damn funny.

[ajump22]

look at ur face in the mirror I M THERE INSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[demiandragneshka]

Me gusta bastante esta nueva versión del fantasma de la ópera.

auf Wiedersehen

[evilAniron]

ah!! great scene! thank you for posting!

[Sonia98]

nice!

[ToxicVampireKiss]

The BEST movie... EVER. I LOVE this scene. Gorgeous.

xx

[ChildOfTheWilderness]

"Flattering child you shall know me, see why in shadow I hide.

Look at your face in the mirror, I am there inside"

[AngelHael]

That's my favorite part. In my opinion, Gerry's best vocal part in the whole movie is when sings "I am there inside". It gives me goosebumps every time!

[jaz0matic500]

omg this part freaked me out iwas going to hide under my bed

[sniff001]

This bit seriously god honest truth always sends a chill down my back when Gerry opens his mouth!! Best film ever!!

[betdagetty]

I was kinda scared of this part also and when he takes her into the cavey thingy. creepy. awesome movie though.

[califgirl101]

Ahhhhhh! How hypnotic is that! I love this part of the movie and then...DUH! duh duh duh duh duuuhhhhh! Awsome movie. I also love the music. Thanks again for this video. :)

[starwars60]

This part of the movie scard the S@*! out of me whne i first saw this.
