i was listening to sarahs part and i was like its different but she sounds alright. Then, i heard the phantom and i almost fell out of my chair laughing because i was reminded of between the lions 0.o
This is a discrace to the broadway version and the version with emmy r phantom is the best ever!!!!! Ive seen it on broadway 12 times i love it to death an watch the mpvie all the time this makes me wanna puke
Steve Harley was supposed to be the Phantom before Michael Crawford took the role. I honestly think the show wouldnt be as popular if not for Michael Crawford.
r u all having trouble with your ears,your hearing?Sarah is great,he s just not the perfect match for her divine voice.how can you prefere E.Rossum-she s just an actress not a cross-over soprano like Sarah,and Emmys voice had "some"computer help(G.Butler is ok).
@leopelz you do know that Emmy Rossum is a trained opera singer? she didnt have computer help because she didnt need. she is also a true talent just like Sarah Brightman. They have unique voices and some prefer over the other.
I literally think this is the worst version of Phantom of the opera. Im stuck on the present broadway version and the Emmy Rossum and Gerard butler version
I sure think Steve Harley is a good vocal, but definitely not the kind of vocal to take the place of phantom. And, the story changed. He wasn't actually give Christine some wedding veil. And, MOST OF ALL, what happened to phantom's mask?! It's practically MOST important thing for phantom!
Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote this music to suite Sarah Brightman's Voice, Emmy Rossum sounds like a teenage girl compared to the power behind Brightman's. My Soul lies with Brightman. :)
you know, I always see comments, saying how amazing she is, but to me it looks like nothing more than a poorly made 80's music video. yes, she has a good voice, but this is just....ugh.
@m8566 It's a music vid promotion from the 80s before the musical started, to promote the musical before people saw it so they'd come. This was when they were thinking of casting that guy as the Phantom before everything was finalised.
@Sunaka4 replying to you as a reply too many others. It's a pitty that you such short sighted forwards and backwards. This version is much more gothic and powerful than the fancy commercial one that you have seen after this one (the last one), I'm sorry that you and many others don't have parents who could have told you what was like in the 80s, definetely it was much better than now.
Lol UsedtoWow, Sarah's like 30 years younger in this vid. She's not as refined or expressive vocally as she is now. :) Still the glassy-eyed look remains, and you can't deny the fact that her voice back then was very good regardless.
I remember I used to be so osbessed with the phantom of the orera so much when I was nine years old and I'd always be watching this and the other stuff. I'm not kidding I was absolutely obbsessed with phantom of the opere. LOL!
alrite, the instrumentals have been improved from the original (and the change in background music @ 1:24 is a nice novelty) but Steve Harley is no match for Michael Crawford
Does this so called "Phantom" think he's someone great like Michael Crawford? Seriously, I actually feel embarrassed for him. That stud muffin just over did it WAY too much. I actually thought this was a parody and don't EVEN get me started on the mask. Sarah, on the other hand never fails to amaze me. Bravo Sarah. Steve, I wouldn't even call yourself "The Phantom of the Opera."
@lialaali that as my thought too! She kept her eyes too open for a bit too long, but her voice has always been to the level of what reflects to me a true Christine of the standards of the Paris Opera House.
Excellent version. Steve Harley's wonderful voice really suits this song! He is a FAR better singer than Michael Crawford. Harley was a pop star with a string of hits to his name in the UK in the 70s, and a great songwriter too.
Sounds like the are struggling to push out the notes.
