..next to Sarah Brightman in her prime, Charlotte Church would be great in that role. I know her style has changed but she still has a beautiful instrument that few ever have in life.
Sarah Brightman was definitely talented, but her voice is just a little harsh for my taste. Emmy's actually classically trained, not just an actress lip-syncing an operatic role *ahem* Minnie Driver! However, I would have loved to have seen Charlotte too!
i love emmy. in my opinion, she was the best christine for the movie. sierra boggess is amazing too. love never dies needs to be a movie. it just needs to happen! (fangirls) but charlotte does a lovely job on this song.
You know, I honestly love the movie version..however, has anyone thought that maybe they did go to Charlotte, and perhaps she declined?...It is a possibility..Just sayin.
Very nice! I just want to know, what concert is this? Is it all about Phantom songs? I'm also a big fan of Phantom of the Opera! And at the same time, Charlotte Church!
Charlotte Church can still sing very beautiful- even now! I saw her sing with Josh Groban on her TV show out of London, she has or had a Variety chat show; her and Josh did the duet song "The Prayer'', like on their album, Charlotte was with child-her second .They still sounded great together, Hope she comes back to her roots!.
This is lovely, Charlotte... I like your dress, hair, and make up , too.. best I have seen on you.. wonderful voice you have .. it's God's gift... smile
I don't know why anyone would pick Emmy Rossum as Christine when there's Charlotte Church. Wow! I would pay good money to see her in Phantom. She can certainly act--she was spot on in I'll Be There.
If I remember right they did offer her the part of Christine in Phantom of the Opera the movie but said she needed to lose weight to get the part. She didn't agree to it so they ended up with Emmy instead. Charlotte reminds me more of a young sara brightman which I thought would have been great for the movie.
@CChurchFan I would agree with that, except for the fact that her voice lowered as she got older, and while it is still amazing, they would have had to change all the keys so she could sing it to perfection, like they did with this song, which isn't bad, unless you want it as true to the original musical as possible. She is amazing, though!
@CChurchFan i would have to disagree with you. emmy rossum played quite the christine. id like to call to your attention the MICROPHONES they are holding. the staging would have to be significantly different to accomodate for them. in terms of vocals, id have no doubts that shed make a brilliant christine, as long as she was brunette for it. And i think watch her vibrato, it can sometimes be quite a large fluctuation...still overall a good performance :)
@CChurchFan i think they chose emmy rossum because she has more "mainstream" appeal. charlotte church is wonderful, no doubt, but she's known mostly for her classical-type music. i've never seen the movie version of phantom, but i think it is a little sad that they would ignore her for that role.
@najae808 it was originally supposed to be Anne Hathaway (she went to julliard for opera singing) but she had to step down for Princess Diaries. She has a fantastic singing voice. She would have done wonderfully.
@saturninesmile holy shit! She is absolutely beautiful and doesnt need to lose weight. The casting director for Phantom should be slapped for that shit.
@CChurchFan they picked emmy rossum because if charlotte was going to do the part she would have to lose weight and she chose not to. it's stupid that they didn't pick charlotte just because she didn't want to lose the weight.
beautiful, i wish she would do the part on the west end or broadway~
