2011 Olivier Awards - "Love Never Dies" (Live Performance)

[muselvr16]

Dear Lord, he has such an amazing voice!!! He is THE perfect Phantom of the Opera

[EquallyDistributed]

@vampireheart85 same... Nobody ever seems to come to Oregon. -__-

[TheForzalantz]

Voice of an angel... I'm in awe of this mans talent... Amazing!

[jenniferangelo]

I will be there now too! Thanks Vickie!

[Borntoreign]

Fantastic! He didn't need any m,oves. He didn't need autotune. He didn't need any fancy lights or effects. He just stood there, and sang it. TALENT!

[vickiehill1]

OMG...a voice from Heaven. He's coming to Philadelphia in September & I am there.

[vampireheart85]

@vickiehill1 can only hope he comes to Oregon

[ctoe95]

god, how i wish i had his voice...

[Chris32NY1]

He will always be the Real Phantom!

[buttonskitty]

Absolutely amazing.  My ovaries are screaming. I've seen him do perform this in now three different YouTube videos a few times in the past day...and I ain't done yet!

Please, God, let him come to the US to perform!

[s3dh3k]

@buttonskitty Ramin said on his Twitter account to check PBS for his American tour schedule.

[buttonskitty]

@s3dh3k Thanks! It looks like I'm making a trip to the East Coast in September. :-)

[x12nirvana12x]

@elgozador he hit it..

[elgozador]

Thanks for writing that note at 2:17, Andrew Webber. Lupone said Webber hates singers and that note makes me believe it. Ramin is an incredible singer and he doesn't really make that note. And I blame WEBBER!

[ctoe95]

@elgozador He hit that note with absolute ease and incredible control, and always does in any of his performances of this song.

[dogatemywookiee]

@elgozador Ummmmm.... Webber writes the music, do you think that his musicals would have shaped broadway/west end in the 80's/90's had he not pushed his singers? Lupone is just miffed because he lowered the score of Sunset Blvd when Close was cast to open it on Broadway and he refused to lower it for her.

Know why he didn't lower it for her? Because she could do it!

[georgiarosewilson]

It baffles me that it's physically possible to be able to sing like this. He's incredible.

[EkseteraEksetera]

I would have chosen Phantom in the first place....

[ctoe95]

I watch this 100 times a day.

[chrissoftail]

What a beautiful song

[chrissoftail]

wow what a powerful strong voice

[x12nirvana12x]

It BAFFLES me that people like lady gaga exist in the music world while people like Ramin are here.

[Taylorboast4]

No standing ovation? How dare they!

[kaseyx0xkat]

I am wholey convinced that when God created this man, he also gave him his voice

[x12nirvana12x]

wow.

[elizabethmaddi]

This is incredible! Ramin will always be my Phantom(:

[rastaaggu]

What can I say... <3 <3 Perfect! 

[benbrunning]

epic performance!!!!

[tangypasta]

reminds me of orlando bloom for some reason

[OperaGIRL777]

I'm not a fan of the incredible invasive camera angles. But I am definitely a fan over everything else :)

[lovetobeinamusical]

I Love Ramin!!

[BusinessDog2000]

I reckon he'd make an awesome Simba in The Lion King on Broadway too!

Imagine him singing "Endless Night"!!!!!

[murdock162002]

the 15 who don't like this are either deaf... or don't know real talent when they hear it!!

[ricko10]

absolutely amazing!

[whatevs89]

okk I think I really need to buy this soundtrack..

[RayquazaGirl]

@rdwngsfan92 Ramin has exploded my ovaries several times.

[harrieteaglestoneh]

. . . Any chance of you divorcing your wife and marrying me? :3 <3

[matthewcampbellmusic]

Ramin is the best phantom ever to set foot on the west end stage! His voice is so pure and crisp, it gives me chills!!! His performance in the Phantom 25th concert along side Sierra and Hadley was just mind blowing!!!!!

[77phipps]

i heard he is giving up phantom :(

[CharlotteBrogaard]

@77phipps That is true. He wants to do something else and break from the character. The 25th anniversary concert wa his final Phantom. :/

[77phipps]

@CharlotteBrogaard aw that sucks alot at first i was like eh about him but by the end of it i was like completely enchanted by his voice i flew from California to see him in the 25th thing cuz i got a free ticket

[nickistevens81]

Phwoaarrrr!!!

[hopereven]

fabulouuuuus iranian blood made it to the british land.....kudos!!!

[jch009tia]

Holy shits that's just ridiculous hahha. Unreal!

[NathalieR8]

When I was at West End, I saw Ramin Karimloo as Phantom. He has impressed me, great performance!

[animenovice]

..I'm tearing up

Ramin has got to be my fave phantom.

[lilsisasu]

If he ever gets a divorce, he better keep it a secret. Otherwise, he's gonna be on the run for the rest of his life because he'll have all of us crazy female fans chasing after him!

[myfavphantomvidios]

@lilsisasu A-freaking-men to that. he's so Gorgous

[Realbeatz86]

NOW THAT'S TALENT.

[ChristopherAllen93]

He makes that G at 2:20 look so easy. It isn't. Trust me - I nearly blew up last time I tried it.

[Randomsoxdance15]

Oh and she dies get it his love for her will never die

[Randomsoxdance15]

I <3 him he is so amazing I can't wait to really see the play spoiler meg shoots christen

[kittylovespenguin]

Dear people of the world, we are sorry for justin-whiney-beiber. In return, we present to you Ramin Karimloo.

Please accept our apology.

[sesshyforever21]

@kittylovespenguin I ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY!!! ^-^

[xHeavyMetalPapillonx]

Such a beautiful song. :)

[hayleyf1992]

He gives me shivers, by far the best phantom -3

[Hannahwills93]

best phantom ever i cry when i hear him sing :)

[maricle100]

You may love him or not, like him or not, but one thing is for sure: no one can be indifferent while he performs. Great scenic presence, great voice! Thanks for sharing it.

[macboy63]

OMG saw the other version in white shirt! He is my new Antonio Banderas, sexy tattoo on arms, the chest and of kors the VOICE! effortless OMG! Great voice! did I mention nice eyes? lol

[skyeline74]

The best Phantom ever!!! He has the most amazing voice... You just gotta love him:) MAGIC!

[kakaroxox]

I love Ramin <3

[thestellarmichelle]

lol, Ramin Karimloo exists, and yet people listen to people who have to use autotune.

[SingingFool123]

this made me cry. love him

[DoorsAreSecured]

He makes it look so easy..

[colt413]

@DoorsAreSecured And the truth is this song is EXTREMELY difficult to sing!! Ramin is just perfection!

[iJWalkerKennedy]

I am so glad I found this man... sooooo many chills down my spine!!!

[EriKaV81509]

Sexy Phantom!

[Princessandrews]

He's just so talented. his voice

[mudd272]

*searches the mirror desperately for Ramin Karimloo and/ or Michael Crawford* D: Why can't they visit my mirror..?

[cossetandmarius]

Best Phantoms ever : Michael Crawford and Ramin Karimloo. Both captured the pain of the phantom and his passion perfectly :)

[CocoOPNY]

WOOOOOOW.

[derkcloud]

He may not be the very best Phantom ever......but I've yet to see anyone who has more absolute control of their voice than Ramin.

[Almazar80]

Ramin is great, but I got to see Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman and Steve Barton in the original Phantom on Broadway. My friend and I were sitting six rows from the stage, last night of previews (Saturday night) before the show opened the following Monday. Let me just say that watching the original cast, when everything was at peak form, was an unforgettable experience. There will be other Phantoms, but Michael was tremendous and his singing and acting made the show.

Ramin is fantastic.

[thefiercefalcon]

Poor guy was SO sick that day! He's so incredible <3

[Muirmoosemaid]

Is it just me or does he look really uncomfortable in that suit..? Best Phantom everrr

[n2i2c2k2y]

DOES ANYONE HAVE A CLIP OF HIM ENTERING, WITH MANDY, I LOVE THAT BIT AS WELL AS THIS, CANT BELIEVE THIS GUY HAD A COLD THAT DAY !!!! STUNNING AS ALWAYS 

[pirate0jenny]

1:46 to 2:07: Was there a guy walking around him on the stage with a camera???

[tomtompataygutom]

if he put on that mask and sounded like this, i'm already sold....

but if he should take off that mask and looked like this....ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!­!!!!!

DAYUM!

[Msmagz121]

His voice is just...well I can't even put it into words <3

And he's very attractive :)

[dannyt121uk]

Please watch my version in my videos :)

[gergis31]

Iranian talent from uk, we are proud of u ramin

[lesmizwicked55]

Ramin gives me the chills everytime he sings. from les miserables to Love Never Dies.

[alyssheartsanime]

i almost started crying when Ramin started to sing...yes, this song and his voice is THAT moving^^

[phyllisahoe]

Oh to be able to have been in that audience wld've been heaven...

And how coincidental is it that 13 tone-deaf people happened to stumble onto this video?? Sheesh.

[DarthxErik]

Is it just me or is he starting to look and act like Colm Wilkinson???

[DarthxErik]

I love this song, love how Ramin sings it and adds his whole entire being into the song. Wish Love Never Dies was a better show. Still, I think I can appreciate this on its own. :)

[thebttfchannel]

question.. to the girl Phans.. how would you feel if Ramin turned looking at you like this at 0:57 ?

[ThePhantomsSinger]

@thebttfchannel Pretty damned good I say.

[rdwngsfan92]

@thebttfchannel ovaries would explode

[trentoloni]

@thebttfchannel he is gay so sorry ladies <3 all mine

[grnday11700]

@trentoloni If this is about Ramin, he's married and has kids with his wife. If it's not about him, then ignore this. lol

[cltnboyd]

Ramin = Phantom

[NojesNeelke]

This song feeds my soul ♥

[tenorwannabe12]

absolutely amazing singer! cannot get over how amazing he is in every song i hear him sing! incredible!

[jcbear971]

RAMIN IS ONE OF THE BEST PHANTOM I EVER SAW

[SiriuslyMisto]

Ramin gives me chills every single time I hear him sing. Such a powerful voice <3

[elizzie92]

yay for a wonderful piece by Andrew Lloyd Webber!

yay for Ramin!

yay for no autotunes!

and YAAYY FOR MUSICALS :]

[PeachIntoxication]

To me, Ramin IS the Phantom. I know many prefer Michael Crawford, but he just doesn't give me the chills Ramin do.

[n2i2c2k2y]

@PeachIntoxication one thousand percent agree with you, i like MC's voice but nothing beats ramin, hes just so hot but humble lol so much i could say about him !!! :)

[cynicalsugar1455]

@PeachIntoxication Crawford is my favorite but this guy just got close second. It's the first Love never dies song i've heard too.

[alyssheartsanime]

could there be a more angelic voice??? ^_^

[Hikarilastsolace]

YAY 4 days before my birthday u uploaded this!

[itoc]

Is it me, or have I started seeing this video on a daily basis?

His voice is so powerful!

[rickram1961]

Ramin is the Phantom!!!

[daniellebancroft]

I,m going to see him in Manchester in 3weeks can't wait

[mnmsings]

He's never had training...like ever.... #DEAD

[CharmedBalthazar]

@mnmsings correction... He had never had training when he first started playing the Phantom. He's had since, and you nobody survives in the musical theatre business without a vocal coach they go to from time to time. But he's still the best ever!... He was phantastic at the Royal Albert Hall performance of Phantom yesterday! Dang he is the Phantom! :D

[cheyflyheartstyron]

(No Offence) Ladys its not all about the looks!! But sorry I have to say Bens better

[JackieGlamBaby08]

@cheyflyheartstyron You mean Ben Lewis? No, my darling, no. Ben is good, yes, but Ramin owns this song.

And when I first found out about Ramin I thought that he's nice looking guy, but never that he's handsome, so from the beginning it was all about the voice. But now, good God, he is just perfect in every way!!

[MusicalMe281]

@bonniebr22 O_o

[bonniebr22]

@MusicalMe281 I dont know how to explain it in english >o< but in spanish we have a phrase that said "me asusta, pero me gusta" xDDDD thats what i feel

[twistywillow]

OMG whats not to like...!



[bonniebr22]

Ramin its ...i dont know how to explain it....he´s so cute that i can my imagine myself walking and holding hands with him....but at the same time, i also can imagine having the hardest sex ever xDDD ....

[NenadlPopovic]

Great! PHANTOM WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST MUSICAL IN HISTORY!

[CHEKIExoxo]

The face at 0:42 made me cry with laughter he is just the most adorable thing EVER

[xKaoKaox]

why did they change the lyrics... WHY!!!!

[mrspuckerman93]

This is one of the only singers who makes me cry with whatever they sing. God has certainly blessed us with such an Angelic voice!

[reginaldbj4]

no one beats Ramin

[mrspuckerman93]

@reginaldbj4 agreed!

[MissEsmeralda97]

7 persone non capiscono niente di musica...<3

[greenpokerchip]

If i were in the audience, i'd give him one hell of a standing ovation!

[HeartOfStone100]

Every time I listen to this, when he bellows out the line 'and your not here' It always gives me chills :) He is so amazing. I only wish I could have seen him live :(

[Honeybeestarify]

awww so lovely

[efrenson3838]

EM'd this link to my Iranian friends and they loved it. They were so proud of Ramin's Iranian heritage. Hope LND comes to Broadway soon. Anybody knows what's the hold-up or status?

[lora0494]

Ramin l love you!!

[MadonnaImperia]

I'm in love...

[dannyt121uk]

please check my version of Til I Hear You Sing at my videos :) would really appreciate comments. Just put it up this week, thankyou

[HeyyLivi]

So i've just read the comments.. I saw 2 other phantons before Ramin... and i still think he's the best one... The rest are amazing yes! But i prefure Ramin :) and hes beautiful ^^

[rachelbrickell]

BIt of a war going on here hey! I have seen David Thaxton in LND twice and he is fabulous and a deserving winner however in my opinion (that is all it is, i speak for no one else and as such am not wrong thank you UnMizable) Ramin is by far the most incredible musical theatre leading man I have ever seen (closely followed by Phillip Quast). He's the only one who has moved me to tears (on 3 occassions), he is a stunning singer and incredible actor - try watching the way he uses his hands on stage

[arianlyre]

beautiful! and such a handsome man! :)

[lilsisasu]

How could he have not won the award for best actor in a musical? The people who got to choose who gets the award either never saw the show or just listened to what all the critics said.

[miriamdohring]

To me he is the greatest singer in the world!

[xXfabeeXx]

@miriamdohring i think the same <3

[mihai55]

@violetsand daisies ...yes I have seen Passion--David Thaxton is excellent and I think deserving of all the accolades. It is a matter of preference. No, I am not a Ramin maniac, and YES I appreciate A LOT of the shows on the West End. Personally, I think Ramin should have won. Simply my opinion. Let's not jump to conclusions and attack other people with judmental swipes---when really you don't know me and therefore have no way of knowing that YES I am a West End theatre regular.

[Bremen25]

Ramin makes a HOT Phantom!

[xXSleazyXx]

6 people are jealous of his amazing voice! :)

[firsttenor76]

This guy is my hero.. he never took any voice lessons, like myself... gives me hope! Such an amazing singer.

[kitboy69]

He deserves extra credit for being able to sing with a straight face while that camera is flying around him!

[DanialBack]

lovely voice! viva Persians everywhere...

[VIKINGBLONDIE18]

he gives me the goosebumps. I just LURVE his voice. Without doubt the best phantom!!!

[lunahate]

i just fell in love with his voice, everytime i hear it nothing else matters

[kahn0317]

Now I want them to make a movie like before

[CptJackFan]

He has the most wondeful voice and the best Phantom for sure.

[Chaserpeach]

@CptJackFan I think either him or Anthony Warlow :D

[TechieNinja18]

o.m.g. that was amazing! Ramin is definitely THE Phantom, and I didn't think I'd ever hear anyone who could beat Gerard Butler! I so wish I could see Love Never Dies with him in it!

[buomgiorno]

he is amaing. saw him in love never dies and he gave mee goosebumps.. he has an amazing and breathtaking voicee

[87006]

What a voice this man has. My husband and myself first saw Ramin in Phantom of the Opera, and we were very impressed. Last year we were lucky enough to see Love Never Dies twice and he made such an impression on us both. He has such a strong and powerful voice and his acting is excellent. Lets hope that we see more of him in the future.

[MUSICCGP]

This man is beautiful.

[me47481]

this guy pissses me off. hes beautiful, he has an amazing voice, and he is one of the best actors arround. why does he have to have it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wendy321]

OMG THAT WAS PERFECTION THAT VOICE SO STRONG SO DEEP ITS OVERWHELMING I MUST BOW DOWN TO HIS VOICE IM SO OVERWHELMED I CANT FORM COHERENT SENTENCES AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CANT EXPRESS MY OVERWHELMED-NESS OOOOOOOOH SOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD IM ABOUT TO EXPLODE PLEASE KEEP ME TOGETHER GOOOD JOB RAMIN WHY DIDNT YOU GET A STANDING OVATION IM GIVING YOU ONE IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER

[alliaskofyou123]

i was very very annoyed when ramin didn't win cause he is just AMAZING with an a outstanding voice and he didn't win well thats wrong he should have won!!! ilovveyouramin!

[Everyoneisspecial191]

He is my god. I pray to him.

[BroadwayDreamchild]

Ramin puts so much effort and emotion into the songs, even when he's not acting. It's a pity that I can never get to any of his performances before he acts in another play. WONDERFUL performance here!

[helen210290]

damn!!! men who can sing are sexy ;)

[dextermanus]

Too bad Love Never dies ends in London on 27 Aug... :(

[reginaldbj4]

Him and Michael Buble are my vocal role models



[reginaldbj4]

Him and Michael Buble are my vocal role models

[imPathogenic]

god damn hes good

[Hegder]

Were the orchestra messing him up in this? Something was going on there. Still brilliant.

[essentialpheny]

I hate to say it but he's very 50:50 with that top note.
