The Phantom of the Opera "In all your fantasies..." - Comparison.

[Scar2401]

i HATE Colm Wilkinson >.< his voice makes me nauseous. Sarah/ Michael and Ramin/Sierra :D ohhh and Gary/Beth

[nomenome]

i don't see how anyone can think that hugh panaro isn't the best phantom

[ladyvignette]

I love John Cudia, Michael Crawford, and Ramin Karimloo equally, but the more I see of Sierra Boggess, the more I love her as Christine.

[kubism1978]

Anthony Warlow!!! Apart from his incredible vocal control, I've yet to see a performer infuse the phantom with as much gothic sophistication and sensitivity as Anthony Warlow. His sense of drama, gestures, timing, restraint are so clear and informed they could be studied in class. It's like watching a Marlon Brando performance - there are no random details, no ambiguity, you can't take your eyes off him for one second or you'll miss something essential. Warlow was the best Phantom... ever.

[dimanthehedghog]

Hugh Panaro is by far my favorite

i love the emotion in his voice

he always seems near tears while singing

[broadwaymike92]

3 Phantoms: Michael, Ramin, and Hugh

3 Christines: Sarah, Marni, and Sierra

[burgermainia15]

My favorite Phantoms: Michael Crawford, and Ramin Karimloo. (JOJ is starting to grow on me though I haven't heard him much.)

My favorite Christines: Sarah Brightman and Sierra Bogges.

[Rayyne]

Hugh Panaro <3 <3 <3

[pirate505218]

Phantom: Colm, Hugh, & Ramin

Christine- Sierra

[darthvalor07]

Really, am I the only one miffed that this part of the song wasn't used in the movie (the Gerard Butler one)?? >:(

[TomMatt2015]

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

My favorite phantoms are Michael Crawford, Ramin Karimloo, and John Owen Johns.

My favorite Christines are Sarah Brightman, Sierra Boggess, and Gina Beck.

[ensignbeedrill]

We need a boat.

[Kon92chan]

I've always adored the way Anthony Warlow sings that particular line and compared to all all the others I liked his take on it the best. It's just so sensual.

[johnsiah]

Instead of comparing phantoms, i think michael crawford and sarah brightman's voices blends the best...

[lukesiewicz]

John Owen jones, Ramin and Hugh Panaro are tied in first I reckon. They're all quite different, but each one has it's own little edge that I like.

[bakaris]

Phantom= a tie between Crawford and karimloo

Christine= Sierra all the way

[dethe8ter]

Michael is by far my favorite

[disneybeccy1]

Ramin Karimloo wins easy :)

[operazanotaijin]

Colm is way too damn legato. Off time. Drags the whole thing down.

[operazanotaijin]

@Titustails Believe me, they're plenty open. He's the worst Phantom ever along with Ramin Karimloo, Tim Martin Gleason, and Anthony Crivello. About as entertaining as cardboard. Way, way, way too slow. However, it's not quite as bad as the first verse.

[Hikarilastsolace]

i like Hugh Panaro Ramin Karimloo John Cudia John Owen-Jones and Michael Crawford ^^

[SmokenTotalled]

and Rebecca Caine for Christine!

[SmokenTotalled]

Hugh and Ramin were great and Anthony is usually my favorite but in this case Colm Wilkinson takes the cake!! He's just fantastic here.

[hot01rh]

Rebecca Caine and Colm Wilkson. Best I ever saw live. Especially Rebecca Caine.

[musokid]

Anthony Warlow is my favourite by far, but I also like John Cudia, Brad Little and Michael Crawford. Ramin sounds way too much like a Raoul to me, but he's so damn hot so it's okay.

[TamChronic]

Anthony Warlow is the greatest Phantom. Not only is his voice miraculous, but his movements, gestures and stage presence are unbeatable. Watch the little thing he does with his fingers at 1:35, and the way he extends his hands to Christine at 1:48. So powerful, sensual and magnetic. He had the perfect mixture of power and vulnerability in the Phantom's character.

[mercifulreddeath]

Anthony Warlow just needs to be the Phantom for the rest of his life. Oh, God.

[Brie651]

Ramin is deff my fav Phantom :P hehe

Either Gina or Sierra for Christine, bcuz they are both fantastic actresses as well :)

[xgrlgamerx]

Sierra for Christine and either Michael or Anthony for Phantom.

[grnday11700]

I'm gonna go with JOJ as the absolute best. I love Ramin and Hugh, but JOJ has something that none of the others do.

[BWAYBUDD]

Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess 25th anneversary rocked my soxs!!! the sets sucked but still!! LOVE THEIR VOICES!!! AND LOVE NEVER DIES.... GASP!!!

[jmzgirl1996]

Every time Ramin sings, I have to lower the volume on my computer because his voice is so amazingly strong and loud; ahahaha love him!

My favorites were JOJ, Ramin, John Cudia, Michael Crawford, & Hugh Panaro!

[TheTokyoToys]

JOJ and Hugh panaro are captivating! Love them, and sierra & Sandra are the best christines :D

[lydiaphan12]

JOJ is CAPTIVATING! :3

[PinkCarnationProDux]

Wow! I'd never heard Hugh before. I like him!! I'm so excited for a new Phantom recording. :) I'm seeing the concert in theaters in a week!

[suggsinfo]

Isn't that Matthew Camelle with Rachel Barrell?

[Monkeyballmania]

@suggsinfo Nup, defo Carpenter.

[Monkeyballmania]

The 3rd one is INCREDIBLE...

[bcm4134]

@Monkeyballmania Anthony Warlow is the best singer ever to take on the role. It's a fact. Don't believe me? Look up his other work. Incredible voice.

[musikmadchen3]

@bcm4134 Totally agree! His voice melts me into a tiny little puddle. He is THE most amazing singer to have ever existed. *blissful sigh*

I love Ramin, too. Very nearly as much. But Anthony takes the cake. And my heart. <3

[kubism1978]

@bcm4134 AGREED!!!

[JasonCollago309]

you should really lable the actos, other than that it is a great vid.

[lilsisasu]

2 favorite Phantoms: Ramin and JOJ

2 favorite Christines: Sierra and Gina Beck

[GamerGirlElla]

Mine has to be Ramin, but there are a couple other I like, particularly Howard, especially as he was the Phantom I saw on Broadway and loved him in the role! (:

[literaryromantic]

Howard, Hugh, and John. Hands down, but not necessarily in that order.

[395724]

Howard's is at about 4:15. He's still my favorite, but there are a couple of good other Phantoms, too.

[Gahoyify]

Hugh!Wait....Ramin!!! NYEH I LOVE YOU BOTH! STUFF IT! LOL

[bglmv606]

Panaro and McGillin in my opinion were the best. I loved Panaro's strong voice. To me, the Phantom's voice should be more dominant and forceful than Christine's and I feel they did that.

[LIZZ411]

I'm so in love with Howard McGillin's hat toss-thing at 4:22! So hot and mysterious!!! ;)

[gwhizkids]

sometimes i wonder how colm wilkinson landed the part...i know he performed at Sydmonton, but Andrew said, "Yeah, we usually had stars we weren't expecting to ever perform...Colm was a rare case." : )

[Ozryprodutions]

Id say Michael then Ramin there the best two Phantoms ever!!!

[iAsian92]

I really like Colm :c He can be the Phantom, too you know.. not just JV.

[Nakyska]

9 - THE BEST OF ALL!!!!!!! HIS VOICE IS SOOOO AMAZING!!! o.o

[nina951]

1) honestly..i like michael crawford..but...NOT big deal :) love sara tho

2) OH MY! that was good!!! :) "Mis- Ter-REEY! OMG so sexy!

3)....it was okay..didnt get goosbumps

4)ehh..

5) i love his strong voice

7)really good! one of the first ive seen when i was exposed to POTO

8) didnt do much :/

9)WOWW!!1 So good!! :)

10) WTF?!!!! JOJ IS SOO much better than this!! :( i was dissapointed

[nina951]

OMIGOD!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOO FRIGGIN MUCH! this is my favortie part of the whole show! well..ONE of my favorite parts! LOLOL

[Nevthonieli]

Crawford is Crawford... I don't think it's quite possible to include him in these comparisons, as he will always be the original Phantom.

Pleasantly surprised by Brad Little, and loved how he flicked his cape before helping Christine out of the boat. Panaro is good, but a little too 'clean' for my taste. I love most things that Carpenter does, but I think he's a little out of his depth when it comes to Phantom. For me, the winner has to be JOJ, but Cudia sounded good too.

[MRAR2]

Always loved Little/Raab together. Great Chemistry and vocal blend.

[MarineForceAlpha]

john owens jones is a beast.

[keeny2006]

@MarineForceAlpha is that a sexual term or a disgusted term? LOL

[MarineForceAlpha]

@keeny2006 no lol its slang... im from the bronx and beast is a good thing lol. like he is REALLY good at what he does ... which is singing lol.

[keeny2006]

@MarineForceAlpha aw thats okay then cos if I was to say JOJ was a beast, it would clearly mean I'd like to rub myself up and down him while he sang to me for definate! Simple as. LOL. No, in all honestly, I love the man to pieces. He's just gorgeous. <3

[MarineForceAlpha]

@keeny2006 haha i think voice is amazinggg my favorite phantom, i gotta admire him lol. makes me sad sometimes to be a bass baritone :P ... ramin is a honorable mention too... and juan carlos point of no return is cool too :)

[whitehorsez13]

1. stinks..... i hat them so much.....

2. you gotta love colm.. but hes not the best phantom

3. holy fudge balls tht guy is sooooosooooooooo good!!!!

4. just ok and i have seen Marni 2 on bway she is horrible

5. OMG OMG MY FAV PHANTOM I LOVE U HUGH SEEN HIM 2 ONBWAY <3

6. not bad pretty good.. a little to emotional for me

7. doesnt do anything for me......

8.pretty good.. Marni go away and never come back :P

9.I LOVE YOU RAMIN KARIMLOO SOO MUCH YOU ARE THE BEST

3. I LOVE SIERRA and eh to the guy

[camprocker14]

where were sierra and JOJ performing? that wasn't the Las Vegas production, was it?

[keeny2006]

@camprocker14 they performed together at the Olivier Awards. :) <3

[camprocker14]

@keeny2006 ah, got it :) see, I wouldn't know much about those, since I'm a frickin' American. sigh! I want to be british so bad!

[Monkeyballmania]

No contest;

John Owen-Jones. Why the hell do you guys like Crawford so much? He can't pitch, has the worst vibrato, just plain AWFUL!

[395724]

I vote for Howard McGillin. He was amazing on Broadway.

[keeny2006]

I love Ramin's 'you always knew' <3

But as much as I love Ramin, I have to say JOJ and Sierra because that's like my dream Phantom and Christine. But I still love Ramin very much. <3

[camprocker14]

@keeny2006 i'm with you!

[z1LeaF]

hands down: 2- Colm Wilkinson; Rebecca Caine

[Melissayshiya]

whats the time when hugh is singing?

[LordoftheTrapdoors]

@Melissayshiya I think 2005.

[Melissayshiya]

@LordoftheTrapdoors i ment n this video nd i saw hugh in the play in new york a week ago he is amazing

[DongChenSoonXD]

John and Sierra!

[AlcoFan2010]

Honestly i think on this Crawford is the best. But when your in the theatre there all kick-ass 'cause the journey sequence is amazing. thumbs up if you agree.

[haydensbabyghurl]

@AlcoFan2010 Personally I love Ramin Karimloo!

[OushGisher]

Ramin.

[CrazyPinkChiquita]

out of all of them, i definetily have to say, Crawfrod and Sarah. the best. but i have to say, since i saw it on broadway with Hugh Panaro, he is my second favorite

[CrazyPinkChiquita]

out of all of them, i definetily have to say, Crawfrod and Sarah. the best.

[clamp2005]

Michael and Anthony. Definitely. :D

[Claidissa]

Ramin, Hugh and Michael are my top 3.

[Dirschbag]

I love Colm Wilkinson...but only as Jean Valjean. The choppiness is appropriate for Les Miserables, but not Phantom :/

[MagicCrafter]

Ramin. He's amazing. <3 Wilkinson was good too, but I'm going to be stoned for saying that I'm not a HUGE Crawford fan...

[Admiralharu]

Michael and Colm. Colm for his fake out -im going to kiss you- and turn. love it. Michael cause..seriously do i have to explain XD

[gazajenks]

no Peter Karrie? < the greatest phantom of all!?? 

[BroadwayBusiness]

Go Ramin! He's clearly the BEST! :)

[XtremeTrailRider]

Michael Crawford is the BEST Phantom ever. The BEST. John Owen-Jones is good too though.

[PittsBurghFuzz]

my favorite lyircs in the whole song...hated that the movie doesn't have em...

[dethe8ter]

@PittsBurghFuzz

[L1C1T1]

crawford, wilkinson,karimloo and owen jones are the best

i love that "always" of karimloo..

well 6 sings the best musica of the night, but not this...

[thephantom1946]

No contest;

MIchael Crawford. Best tone, legato and vibrato.

[aledu89]

I wish there was a version of Ramin and Sierra..

[PhanPhanPhanPhanPhan]

9 is the best!

[RastloseJahre]

Thanks!

Sorry if this seems arbitrary, but the Crawford/Brightman clip is from Broadway, and the Little/Raab clip from the World Tour.

[RastloseJahre]

Thanks!

Might seem arbitrary, but the clip of Crawford and Brightman is not London, but Broadway (specifically at the Tonys).

[EmilyGreene1984]

Michael Crawford :)

[EmilyGreene1984]

Michael Crawford :)

[kijames3228]

the third part~ who is the phantom ?

[LordoftheTrapdoors]

@kijames3228 Anthony Warlow.

[ToWatchList]

@kijames3228 The third Phantom to sing is Anthony Warlow (my personal favourite ;D )
