@recapdrake I just want to point out that Weber has a stupid pattern of getting singers to sing really low, then really high then really low again. ?>.<
Love Never Dies was definitely more suited more toward him than Phantom of the Opera. He was fantastic in it regardless. This just sounds like a much better fit.
Ah, Don't watch this in a quiet library. Just saying, you don't need the general public witnessing you drooling over this man. Love, love, love him. <3
Such a great song! I've recorded this song for Andrew Lloyd Webber's next tv show 'Jesus Christ superstar' hopefully it's good enough to get an audition! :D it's on my channel if anyone wants to have a view!
his voice, so talented. So sad that this show was cancelled in London. I know they are releasing Australian version on dvd but I really hope rumours of 2012 tour in london is true.
I listen to this song over, and over and over and yet the music still grips me with as much force each time as the last, my heart stops and all I can do is sit and listen in wonder and amazement, completely at peace and contempt for these few precious minutes... <3
I think he did a much better job here than the recording. Also the b flat in this is MUCH better than the recording. I guess because now he's been singing it for over a year and it is just getting easier.
Love Ramin. He may not be the best best best singer compared to a lot of greats, but he is definitely the MOST MOST MOST Passionate. In every consonant and note you hear the pain, the yearning that erik feels for christine.
@KoryMat92 I feel the same. The passion and the power of the emotion when there is music is beyond some peoples imaginations yet I can't imagine how someone could not feel it.
I lost my amazing mum to MND last winter, but in September i treated her to see Love Never Dies for her birthday. She prefered the original and lets face it that was a hard act to follow but she still throughly enjoyed the show. We were sat there with my dad and bro and we were like a couple of excited teenagers at the thought of seeing Ramin Karimloo live, as we'd hard the soundtrack a lot. To hear this makes me close my eyes and think of happier times, thank you for uploading this.
I don't want to be shot down by the theatre gods...but he is the only phantom that in my opinion beats out michael crawford. By a long shot. I'M SORRY THEATRE GODS!
Stunning! I think he is amazing - but I'm kind of curious to hear Anthony Warlow sing this piece. The Phantom is supposed to be older - I wonder how it would differ with a more mature actor.
Wow. His b flat sound really easy. He is definitely a great singer. But you can not compare him to Crawford. His voice an performance is completely different.
This is just unbelievable...he's so amazing. The emotion and yet the power in his voice is beyond this world...it touches our hearts to hear music like this being sung this way
Sophia, you have the best version of this - sound is solid and the images crisp. Ramin Karimloo has a striking way of making screaming fanatics out of perfectly sensible people. I should know. He taps the emotion of the song and reaches out with it. Then draws back the captured souls.
What I love about this is how suited the music Ramin is. Let's face it (and as I much as I love his Phantom), Crawford could never pull this off as well as Ramin!
Love Ramin and Sierra very much, they are good friends, wish they were something more but for obvious reasons, hes married shes dating, they cant but love them both in LND !!!!! will miss them after the 5th march
@n2i2c2k2y Did you know that Ramin will be staying on as the Phantom. Don't know how long he will be, but I just know he's not leaving yet. I just wish I could see them. I live in the US.
dsffdsfdsdsffsd pleaseee!!! Your channel has been lock! If you are somehow readyng this, please contact me and your fans inmediatly!! We need to know where are you gonna post!! Thank u and sorry for your site! It was very cool!
Ramin is just one of those really talented, amazingly gorgeous guys that make you swoon and melt when you hear him! lol XD and his face through 1:05 - 1:08 ... melting part lol I love "Love Never Dies"
To hear him sing Enjolras and then hear him sing this, it truly shows his fantastic emotion and talent. He brings the passion of the revolution to Enjolras, but he brings the sultry (yet vulnerable) aspect to the Phantom that I adore. <3
@AnatloyChessPlayer NO NOT AT ALL!! its so true. MC had too soft of a voice i thought for phantom. i mean his distinct voice worked out well. but ramin's power is just chilling
@AnatloyChessPlayer If Ramin had been around when the Phantom came out-he so would have had it. I love Michael Crawford but Ramin just has something else...
@AnatloyChessPlayer I absolutely agree with you. He has more emotion and feeling in the way he sings. Michael Crawfor has a great voice, but he lacks the true feelings.
@AnatloyChessPlayer i completely agree. Ramin seems to put more emotion into his songs. and the way he sounds like he's about to cry on those high notes, woooooow.
Kidding. ;) I always liked Michael, but only on some songs. I'm not sure anyone will ever top his MOTN (for me), but I think just about anyone could do a better PONR. I like the way the Nostalgia Critic put it: his voice sounds like one long sigh. (By the way, if you haven't seen that review, you should, if only to hear Doug's impression of MC--surprisingly good! It's the Once Upon a Forest review.)
Nah I don't think its his tuning, I think he's used to having the orchestra follow him and suddenly here he has to follow a recording, so you can tell he keeps playing catch up with the melody. And yeh, his last note was a little flat, but I think mainly the issue is his timing! Still, an amazing performance!!! Always a fan!
And really it doesnt matter, was a great performance! Big fan!
I love how at the end Weber goes "SEE THAT? TOP B FLAT LOLOLOL GOOD LUCK, ANYBODY THAT SINGS THIS"
