The Phantom of the Opera

[Gundogdu92]

:D :D after 2004 version this is just funny..especially steve harley :D

[TheRedDragonGirl]

@Gundogdu92

Yes I agree but it still sound very good and powerful :P

[Raspeva]

wow raoul is hot here TOO :D Russel impresses.

[Raspeva]

wow raoul is hot here TOO :D

[Cooperman626]

this is sooo cool its like sex in my ears

[bmwmsport11]

Music class, my teacher gives us 3 songs. First two bored me all the way out. Then when this came, I was expecting the same, but much better.

[earlandbob]

I feel like I just watched the Phantom of the Labyrinth...

[kaatje112]

in blackwiht dis is orignal ok

[ellie3637]

wow!

[Vesperrault]

The boat... has dreads. Woah.

[PhoenixGaruda516]

This is what I call original!

[kaatje112]

@PhoenixGaruda516

in blackwiht dis is orignal ok

[welkenaamisgoed]

The end is weird..

[emmaissoawesome]

I like Sierra Boggess the best. I don't know, something about Sarah, I don't know what it is...I just don't like.

[zac613]

@emmaissoawesome i agree. the reason i don't like sarah voice is the brightness and that certain twang it has.

[europeer]

Steve Harley was ok, Michael Crawford was Exceptional. Sarah was flawless, as usual :-)

[chrkeenan]

I like Emmy Rossum better

[sweeney60]

@chrkeenan Sarah was a superior singer, but emmy was a better actress

[wchen34]

Sarah is so cute. LOL

[phantomgirl818]

my gosh i used to watch this video all the time when i was younger we had it on a vhs haha

[Aerodil]

I remember seeing "Wishing you were somehow here again" on the tv. Sarah Brightman is amazing!

[13LittleLotte]

The Phantom sounds, well, constipated. I actually like the lyrics for this video, though. Kinda creepy.

[sashamommy]

God bless the producers for finding Michael Crawford. If it weren't for him, this play would have disappeared never to be the classic hit that most people will never forget in their lifetime. You will always be the only real phantom Michael!! Sorry but this guy is mediocre at the very best. I've heard better voices at school plays. :-(

[McCRAAAZY]

@sashamommy kinda funny how he was the first option :P

[sweeney60]

@sashamommy oddly enough, he was only supose to do the video, they used him cause he was well known in pop music, and they used pop music videos to promote the show. This was such a hit, they went ahead using him in the show, but long before they realized his voice wasnt strong enough. Sarah went backstage of a show michael was doing and heard him doing scales and recognized the potential. She called andrew right away and the rest is history.

[FavouriteCop911]

What the heck?? Lol I love at 2:26 how the Phantom looks like a wacky inflatable tube man!

[KevaMED]

Okay, so, funny looking mask, the phantom sounds like he has a cold, and moves like he's a robot. Defiantly not the best version I've seen of this song.

[PurpleWolf930]

PFFFT

<U<

I always laugh when I hear this

[meganega777]

what the heck is going on? when i open this bacardi adverticing, my facebook page opens

[gothandgirly9]

is he cross eyed



[gothandgirly9]

the phantom looks like a cat nd very weird

[zup7744]

I... Don't like this :c

[spock101010]

Why does Raoul have a blonde squirrel on his head?

And thank God for Crawford.

[Jennalovesrainbows]

Ewww, I'm sorry, but this phantom sounds awful. Theres one Phantom I dont want to meet!

[NHSrider1818]

try to have a stare contest with sarah it hard!

[llmuto25]

@StripedTerror521 Yes. This is probably what the phantom was thinking, "Fear me! I have a butter knife! I'm going to cut down this 3 ton chandelier!" (7 years later) "I've got one more thread....."

[rayanneflowers]

this looks like a wayne's world version

[TheMrRanz]

I really want to hear a performance that used the older lyrics

[ohfilms1]

odd but cool

[jessyyy999]

this is pretty disturbing Oo

[bloodytearz22]

This is so awful I nearly die of laughter. XD

[ester650]

מרגש עד דמעות אוהבת אוהבת אוהבת

[Agnesian142783]

uuuuuuuuuu! phantom sounds a tad weird i can't understand some words

[SirStapler]

3/4 of me says: that was awful. I'm extremely  dissatisfied/disappointed with Webber.

1/4 of me says: it's so awful its genius! And it is really funny

[emofairybimbobird]

that was hilariously awful

[Toffiee014]

Does the phantom squints at 1:05? :D

[ForceRagePower]

infamous*

[mns]

@The2004Phantom Physically he was good as Phantom but voice? No no no. His built and height is good for a Phantom character but can't sing well whereas Ramin Karimloo has best and bold voice but physically he is small.

[ryan5172]

the music and singing is AWESOME!! However that is the FUNNIEST looking phantom i have ever seen. The lyrics seem to be different then the version i know and love.

[mishaoganesyan]

super super super

[MadeofValor]

I just

pissed myself while laughing.

[MultiPianoLady]

Anthony Warlow in Melbourne Australia was the best of them all!!!

[Uccellowade]

this version sucks



[BellaVeneficus]

When he says" duet" at 1:12 totally kills me. Dunno why. X)

[AmritBD]

What's up with Raoul... Not liking the mullet

[sirspamsalot2]

@AmritBD because mullets were big in the 1800s right lol

[langthieny]

When she turned into the Egypt queen, she looks like Lady Gaga in my opinions

[MegaPhoenix300]

Eu amo essa música, mexe demais com o meu ente.

[simplyriki]

So who do you all think plays the best Phantom? Michael Crawford the original, Steve Harley this guy, Gerard Butler from the movie, or...sigh...Antonio Banderas whom in my humble opinion is the George Clooney of the Batman/Bruce Waynes. Definitely Team Steve here.

[RimaTouyaOtaku]

@simplyriki I believe Gerald Butler did an amazing job. I rather don't like Steve Harley, Sarah and him are never really in tune..

[cho20014]

@simplyriki  I think Gerard Butler did a better job. Although he didn't get a proper singing lesson, he sang with emotions, which i think in all the phantom he did the best.

[23smell]

@cho20014 I am agree with you.

[simplyriki]

I notice there seems to be a mini-debate between who's the best Phantom: Michael Crawford, Steve Harley, Gerard Butler, or..sigh..Antonio Butler. I'll admit I'm Team Steve but it's really like arguing over who played the Best Batman/ Bruce Wayne. Everyone will have their opinion.

[killya67]

Thanks musical genius Andrew LIoyd Webber!!!!!!!!!!!

The Phantom of the Opera is always inside my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aShLeYlUvSrOcK098]

O.O not the best version ever... :|

[SierraArielBoggess]

Where is sound??

[phantomsfreak]

raoul is a wimp that doesnt deserve christines never ending love and abilty to see beyond the mask

just saying

[robevanlover500]

Raoul isn't supposed to die!

[Dirschbag]

Thank GOD that they found Michael Crawford!

[samiam96x]

The lyrics are different....sort diggin it though.

[MasterFuck3000]

2:37 aint a pretty boy eh?

[isabelbamf]

Not digging this Phantom's voice. /:

[Rainbowapple10]

the mask is retarded

i put it as my wallpaper for my phone and when my mom saw it she jumped lmaooo :)

[dbear851]

i don't like this version or phantom

[OARminkayx3]

well... at least the phantom got christine in this one :)

[OARminkayx3]

ROFL TO THE PHANTOM.

[shadowcat225]

@egoeater they made this before they changed the lyrics and made it better. I promise

[MyCoffeeLove]

This version of the phantom is hilareous. He is not scary at all, he looks so ridiculous. Hahaha.

[egoetjaer]

And they manage to make a musical masterpiece into something completely horrific... It's a shame...

[HellFlameSoul]

oh god, what did they do, no offense but this was.....embarasing...i prefer the musical version and this guy....looks more like something you'd see in a childs christmas play rather than a phantom i mean the moment i saw that mask i laughed so hard my lungs still hurt.

[WondersNassiri]

where did this version of the lyrics come from?

[Monkeyballmania]

@WondersNassiri These were the original lyrics, before the musical opened.

[ChloisMikayla09]

Anyone else hate this dude just because he's not Michael?



[jsininger]

@ChloisMikayla09 yeah he just doesnt have the passion that micheal does...

[DaveKuso]

She looked happy to go marry him.

[2015patriotgrl]

I hope its not you they hear!!!

[laneylowry]

i saw her blink

[sewabewa]

he looks more like count dracula, and shes scary.

[7alkione]

omaigod es sarah brightman y michel craword o yes adoro an sarah y michel

[Cherrylover255]

the 2004 one.. the phantom accompany christine to this 'secret' place and this one she gone there by her own will

[Cherrylover255]

haahah one sick mask lol

[lethalrose2222222222]

O_O

[BeautyByBecky72]

steve harley cant sing.........

[TheHeir23]

@BeautyByBecky72 ur kidding, right?

[Vampireknightfan00]

agree

[Vampireknightfan00]

that phantom is..... no words 2 descride the weird feeling

[Dwain9695]

If i saw that Phantom i would die laughing before he killed me

[Dwain9695]

A lame phanton+ a girl who doesnt blink + mullet man = great love story

[Sportgrl55]

"Not the right words" = when the lyrics were still being developed for the Broadway version in the 80s. Watch Michael Crawford's "Music of the Night" and there lyrics are different there as well.

Anyway, these songs will last forever. So beautiful.

[HaleyLuvsChicken]

the 2004 phantom is BETTER

[4sunsetgirl]

3:46 Mullet man :)

[double0nine009]

She blinks twice at around 0:40, do I get a prize?

[AmandaMorgan21]

i love sarah brightman in this she is amazing as always! but steve harley just sounds strange to me. i dont like him in this at all. i wish michael crawford could have done the music video with her

[gothicromance45]

This dress isn't far from Christeins dress for "think of me" in the movie .

[MakeupmanTV]

I love the fact that the snakes are just like "Hey I'm just hangin around on this gravestone"

[swimmingdafree]

oh my goodness. i think raoul's hair just MAKES this video XD eternal lol!!!

[swimmingdafree]

hahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahaha *eternal laughter*

[DoddsBuckovecz]

antonio banderas sings it so much better! :) hehe

[tensandtens]

weird.....

[DiscoQueen97]

ist gut und ich kann das auch auf dem keyboard

[SecretForest]

@DamnedMissDisaster Aber echt o.o und der arme verschandelte Text!

[Juka94]

I like the sarah's voice :)

BUT I prefer for the phantom gerard butler's..

[schrottTastatur]

der sänger hat keinen stimmkern, er passt stimmlich nicht in die rolle

[Zugvogel1]

@schrottTastatur

Stimmt.Da fehlt das Volumen.

[ElegantGothicMana]

She looks crazy XDDD And the Phantom isn't attractive at all.

[niley4everxo]

@ElegantGothicMana I agree. Usually originals are better.

[SuperDecke]

Das arme Lied

[cherron143]

Not the right words

[SilveryxRose]

Love it, but I really hate his mask xD

[SolidRock008]

yesssssss 2:39-2:40

[SolidRock008]

2:38 - 2:39

[natsche93]

That always gives me the creeps! it's amazing! I sing it in singing lessons =)

[orangeflippersflip]

i cannot find the complete movie!! can anyone please help me?!

[draconians01]

@orangeflippersflip then buy DVD...

[gimisanavel]

Que hermosa voz :D

[TheGodKingOfMusic]

i like the original version better, though this music video's not bad at all. but the Phantom in this one sounds more like a tenor

[doomsdayclock91]

@TheGodKingOfMusic This is the original. he relesed this as a demo before the play was finished.

[Stelawink97]

Epic lol at 1:20

[lambrioza]

EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES

[karoneprincess1]

WOW..this is the BEST version EVER!!! I am fall in love with the song and the two amazing voices no matter how many times after listened to the song. Are the two people in here Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford? Please tell me. I really want to know. I am really truly admired and loved their wonderful voices. On the guy part, he in here is the best voice for Phantom. He sings with so passion. I can feel his pain. Thanks a lot for uploading!!!

[Bjorkenheimer]

@karoneprincess1  Yes, it is indeed Sarah Brightman. However, it is not Micheal Crawford that sings with her, it is Steve Harley from the 1970's rock group Cockney Rebel. This version of the song was a promotional single. Steve was set to star as the Phantom in the London premiere of The Phantom of the Opera, but was replaced close to the beginning of rehearsals by Micheal Crawford.

[TimKoopman10]

strangest clip ever.. but love the song :D

[91LisaLou]

Ooh.. I don't like Steve Harley in this!!! But loving Sarah Brightman!

[Astyrex]

مجمع من النفوس المفقودة

[Kotaroproductions]

awesome. Someone please teach her how to blink. Please?

[GirlCort]

@Kotaroproductions The reason why she's not blinking is to present the effect of being hypnotized by the phantom of the opera. Note the lyrics: "The phantom of the opera is there...inside my mind" Her non-blinking represents being under his power.

[madcow15792]

@Kotaroproductions hahaa you're right she can go a hell of a long time without blinking!! must have the dryest eyeballs on earth! XD

[krazyk00k00bird]

@Kotaroproductions isn't that the point?

[HaleyLuvsChicken]

@Kotaroproductions her eyes are like that the whole thing every time on camera!!!

[HaleyLuvsChicken]

is this the movie,music video or a play thing?

[jaymeaaron]

@Kotaroproductions The reason she doesn't blink is because the Phantom has in a trance like state. Would you blink if you was hypnotized?

[laneylowry]

@Kotaroproductions i saw her blink.

[GrumpyKittyVids]

@Kotaroproductions I totally agree. She never blinks!

[carleen112233]

@Kotaroproductions hey, i think she blinked twice in that entire video...... seriously, i was counting.

[sirspamsalot2]

@Kotaroproductions i can feel my eyes drying up just watching her

[FaintingNightWhisper]

I love the original version of the song. Read the book and it is a lot darker than the musical/movie. Love both though.

[FaintingNightWhisper]

I love the original version. Read the book and it is a lot darker than the musical/movie. Love both though.

[happytreegirl779]

Can somebody please teach Miss Brightman how to blink before I get creeped out O.o

[mrfwashmac]

This version makes me laugh. There voices don't sound good together. Gerard Butler was a very good phantom. I read the book because i liked the movie so much.

[Eceukool]

@mrfwashmac

how was the book? was it better than the movie? i want to read it too but i am afraid that i will be dissapointed

[FaintingNightWhisper]

@Eceukool

i read it and it is a lot more darker than the movie. Love both though

[witchsaint]

@Eceukool actually, I read the book before I watched any of the movies. the book was much better and no movie could ever live up to it. I like some of the music from the movies, though.

[Yisuaas]

SATANIC mUSIK/MUSICA.....oh ZATAN......ZATANIC sound...!

HEAR THE PHANTOM in YUR DREAAm !

[Sarroula]

I don't like that version...!!!

[MGKristoffersen]

Andrew Loyd Webber wrote the musical, based on a book by Gaston Leroux.

So the music are made by Andrew :o)

[capsuleboy]

can anybody tell me who wrote this song originally?

[kingsarbkota]

@capsuleboy I'm not sure if Andrew Lloyd Weber wrote it originally or not, but he DEFINITELY made it famous...

[MyLibra07]

..what a great voice they have..a beautiful song

[MyLibra07]

..what a great voice...

[IstorieAdevarataX]

2:53 Dracula that ''phantom''

[evtheory]

Oh my god....

it's not even a joke

[Music4evaish]

she looks a bit like ashleigh brewer when she ran down stairs

[BEEmyANGEL]

Ich würde echt alles tun um den Film mal auf deutsch zu sehen...

[aun61]

Simply classic!

[ada0lizeth]

es imposible que ese sea Steve Harley

steve es totalmente diferente fisicamente

[irek8900]

is ok

[RutgerHauerRules]

good song

[jcsbyrd36]

I'm sorry but Steve Harley ruined it

[Phan801]

i prefer gerard butler for the role of the phantom much much better voice

[otomechan10]

I think Michael Crawford did a way beter job than Steve Harley (his voice is more suited to the character)

[vargyna]

Sarah Brightman is a feminine lady - why can't England make more like that instead of all the butch toughies who inhabit our shores?

[llamasaresmelly]

Sadly the lyrics with me are better in this version than the actual finished product. That's not saying much; but still.
