I've American and ever since I went to Australia last summer and my Australian friend introduced me to "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" I've loved Michael, he's so hilarious!!!! I wish he was more well known in the US. He's wonderful.
We Americans really don't know much about Michael other than that he was the Phantom, but he's so much more than that....and he's genuinely hysterical. Everytime I watch this, I laugh out loud - it's not just the story itself, but how he tells it. I get a kick out of the interviewer tearing up in laughter, lol
Flaming hilarious- I laugh EVERYTIME i watch this. "i know you're metric over here...in metric its BIGG! I love him. Sir Crawford fans if you wanna see a brilliant example of how well this man can sing...type in "michael crawford love changes everything, and notice how long he can keep a note at d end!
Love ya Sir Michael Crawford!:-)
Ps. love "I'm sitting on a big black saddle!" Love that!
This is, very possibly, the best piece of humour, in it's most simplest and yet most effective form. He's a natural. In my humble opinion, Micheal Crawford is the best "all-rounder" ever to honour British talent, coming from a time when it was forgiven to be "politically incorrect", or in other words "to-be-just-plain-honest-and-direct". If I watch this clip a million times I will still have tears in my eyes with laughter. .
@darren1naudi I agree, he excels in everything he does, and he can do it all. he's a terrific raconteur, with a self deprecating humor which really leaves you in stitches. He can fill over an hour or two with his funny stories on himself.
@ProdigyStepper unfortunately the BBC didn't let us see what they talked about before the EFX disaster. They only post these short little clips. MC has a huge fund of funny stories about mishaps that happened on stage at his own expense. He's hilarious, he could keep going for over an hour just telling these stories while you're laughing till tears come in your eyes. He usually got Parkinson tearing up with laughter, lol. I have some downloaded on my PC.
Love PHANTOM? Don't want to a see a nonsensical sequel in which Raoul becomes a drunkard, Meg becomes a murderer, Christine becomes a slut and the Phantom becomes a composer of trashy vaudeville?
You're not alone.
Visit LoveShouldDie [dot] com to find out the awful truth behind the non-awaited sequel, denounced by the estate of PHANTOM's original author, condemned by PHANTOM fans everywhere and ridiculed by the international press.
HAHAHHAHAAHA 'dont be afraid, dont be surprised, i know with me you never could believe your eyes' THAT HAD ME IN HYSTERICS lmaooooooo!! I love MC so much!!
@thephantom1946 It is! I came here after watching him performing The Point of no Return and learn he played Frank, a lovable idiot. He is extraordinarily talented.
@thephantom1946 For the full story of the show and MC's casting, search for Behind the Mask: Making of the Phantom, on YouTube. Also, get the DVD of MC in Barnum to see how talented he is, and get MC's autobiography.
@audiesgirl Thank you, but I have the documentary recorded for a couple of years now, and memorized, lol. Also I have the other items you mentioned too. I guess I've been on top of all this for many years now. I recognized his exceptional talent since I first saw him live as the Phantom in the late '80s :-) I saw him 4 times in the show.

I recently watched a countdown of the greatest comedy characters, and Frank Spencer was nowhere near high enough. Basil Fawlty and Alan Partridge are brilliant, but Frank walks in comedy heaven.
Wouldnt it be great to see something of Frank Spencer's life 30 years on in Austrailia, like he became a billionaire or something, it'd be great, a bit like the Only Fools and Horses prequel, like a one off special
MC personifies the professional Brit actor. The immortal role of the Phantom could have completely gone to his head, but he came through it remarkably grounded. He really enjoys laughing at himself. An American actor would have been entrapped in the role and gone nuts.
@audiesgirl Thank goodness it was a British show to begin with, and ALW had the foresight to give the role to Crawford, who no one else thought he would be able to do it. ALW at least knew Crawford was classically trained in voice, but most everybody else didn't know that. Once ALW heard him sing at his vocal teachers place (Crawford didn't know it) he said to the teacher, " I think we just found our Phantom". And yes, Michael has such a great sense of humor. Love his laugh.
I heart Michael Crawford as well "TheBroadwayluver5111"!!! I hope Mike never changes. Hes a total love and a brilliant performer! Did I mention that I think hes damn sexy, good looking and adorable as well.
Yes Colin u did!!! But um... i think u forgot the most important word ever!!! NAUGHTY!!!!!!!!!!!! Weee!!!!!!! I still love u baby, and so does ryan!!!
omg i must chime in!!! so what if MC did ask for a few things for himself, medusa and caprica!! he was the one who made POTO a huge hit for how long??? and yeah, id want compensation for wearing what he had to wear and sing beautifully at the same time!! Go MC u sexy thang u!!! If it werent for him, i would never have known POTO. HI Colin, by the way!! Its been a while!! we still naughty friends? tee hee!!
I have that documentary to Medusa0999 and Michael never went mental on the dancers or said a thing about them. Re-watch the documentary and quit spreading falsehoods or lies about Michael. If you don't like him for some weird reason then don't watch his videos. What they did say is that Webber or one of the other people in charge cut some of the dancers numbers down after they nhad worked so had on them and Gillian Lynn felt bad for the young dancers. Shame people for believing wrong information
I agree "thephantom1946". I have met Michael several times since 1988 and have talked to a bunch of his co-stars and he has a ton of people that respect him that have worked with him. Nobodys perfect and Michael is as demanding on himself as his co-workers. Plus the documentary was produced by Webbers company so think about that "Capricaquarius89". Michaels dresser even talked about how sexy Mike is and how much she enjoyed working with him. Nobodys perfect but MCs got a great heart for people
Not true. His costars really loved Michael. Many of them cried when he left. You must have heard on the documentary about his earlier years. He is a perfectionist. Please don't put an incorrect spin on that, just rewatch that documentary.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The bbc documentary on phantom, it's on youtube if you want i can link, spoke about him being a perfectionist. They interviewed co stars and they recalled that if the dancers were too loud he would go mental at them for it,
I have that doc recorded and practically know it by heart, lol, the dancers said he would " get on them about it" not go mental. Once all the problems were ironed out, it was fine. The cast memebers were very fond of him after all that time. Tears were shed when he left each venue. London, NY and LA.
oh my God...okay, i just about died from laughter here...poor Michael...HILARIOUS!!! "Don't be afraid...Don't be surprised...I know with me you never could believe your eyes..." God...
I agree!!! Michael is soooooooooooo adorable and totally cute. Plus he can act, sing and make you drop dead from laughter. Now thats what I call a super talented guy!
Michael Crawford's character aint changed much from his classic comedies. Sooooo funny and joyous.Guys like this with spontaneously and almost instinctively funny characters are rare. We need mothers to produce these kinds of funny breeds to spice up life to make worth living. Long live Frank Spencer F.W.
ya know, i'd really rather you didn't. then he would be dead. and i would be very unhappy. and i don't think he would taste THAT good, really...'less you're cannibalistic...but somehow, i doubt that. :)
I LOVE Michaels laugh too! It makes you feel good and smile know matter how crappy your day is going. I agree...MC is the biggest sweetheart on the face of the planet. Hes absolutely precious.
I've American and ever since I went to Australia last summer and my Australian friend introduced me to "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" I've loved Michael, he's so hilarious!!!! I wish he was more well known in the US. He's wonderful.

@MichaelCrawfordsFan It's funny because he is contradicting himself by making sure they ARE offended (if that's what offends them).

Michael Crawford's character aint changed much from his classic comedies. Sooooo funny and joyous.Guys like this with spontaneously and almost instinctively funny characters are rare. We need mothers to produce these kinds of funny breeds to spice up life to make worth living. Long live Frank Spencer F.W.

ya know, i'd really rather you didn't. then he would be dead. and i would be very unhappy. and i don't think he would taste THAT good, really...'less you're cannibalistic...but somehow, i doubt that. :)
