Michael Ball, Elaine Paige and Glenn Close standing on the same stage performing together has got to the best thing I've ever seen! In my opinion, those three were the best parts of the show; Glenn in Sunset Boulevard, Elaine in Cats and Michael in this.
@halong55 That's Tina Arena, you can hear more from her in the video "Whistle down the Wind" from this same show, which is the Andrew Lloyd Webber 50 years celebration.
what enormous performance they give. remember the time i sing this song with my choir for a wedding ceremony and later i would like to have this beautiful song for my own wedding :)
A variety of stars from musicals and shows of all kinds combining their talents to perform a song with a wonderful message and beauty. This is truly something to treasure. Wonderful performance! :)
@MpsAREthieves They were the other people that were in the show. If I'm right this was the last song. Also the people in the white suits arr boyzone. I hope that helped/
@arjosca I just I think the whole upload is a little out of sync. I have a dvd of this performance and it's synced better. Still glad it's on here though, cause I love it. :)
great song! i've always loved andrew lloyd weber's music. I can very much relate to this. indeed.. love changes everything!... for the better... thanks for posting...
Michael Ball, the best singer I heard singing broadway as well as anything, like Lea Salonga, they are the superstars of Broadway and the world best singers.
the kind of song people who are manly and romantic wished their loving relationships to be like..... until you realise she was just a slapper who stabs you in the heart, rips it out and stomps on it in gravel and walks away with eyes set on the next victim
love is a four letter word just like lust and people don't know one from the other
I LOVE Andrew Lloyd Webber's music/plays. It just doesn't get any better than this song. It's so awesome to see so many stars from his other plays in this video! I need to start clicking around to 'net to buy this tribute video. Wow, Michael Ball you sound amazing as usual! Thanks for putting this on you tube!
I love Andrew Lloyd Webber music this is one of my favorite songs!!! It's so awesome to see all of past performers of his various plays in this video...I need to buy this and watch the entire tribute. So glad I found this!
I watched this at the RAH, absolutely sensational. Always gives me the shivers, this song is one of the most beautiful compositions ever recorded; Michael immortalised this for me... Utter perfection.
im in a forces family living in cyprus atm and he was out here at a hotel for a holiday. today, he came into my school and talked to the gcse/a level drama and music people :D he is soo nice and funny, one of the kindest people i have ever met. he sang a song from les mis, took a group photo with us and signed autographs :)
All really talented performers but Michael Ball just captivates everyone and draws you in like no one else could. His voice, power, and charisma just steal the performance and make it magnificant :D
I have to say I don't really rate Michael Crawford at all. Even though that's likely to get me lynched by a whole lot of Phans. I really don't like him! Besides, Ramin Karimloo did the Phantom far better IMO (and I mean in Phantom not Love Never Dies). Michael Ball is without a doubt a fantastic singer who I've adored since I saw him in the original london Les Mis cast.
@phantomphan4eva oh, i don't know....i first heard this song on Michael Crawford's "performes Andrew Lloyd Webber" album...I always thought he did a fine job....
@ultimatesimpsonsfan Michael Ball? He actually have done the Eurovision in the past. 1992 to be exact. He sang a song called "One step out of time" Just search for it here on youtube.
Very good but couldn't hold a match to Michael Crawford's talent...sorry; especially at the end because Crawford can hold the last note ("...Same") for at least 15 full seconds. Enjoyable though:)
@MrIank1989 So can Michael Ball! Just listen to his recording of the song or watch some of the other clips where he performs it.
Michael Crawford IS a great singer, but he will never beat Michael Ball in this song.
The difference between MC and MB is that MC is a trained singer, MB isn't - his voice is natural. And I think MB is the better actor of the two - he really knows how to put the right amount of emotion into a song.
Michael Ball is really only unknown in the US. In London, he has been the lead in MANY of Andrew Lloyd Webber productions. He basically replaced Michael Crawford in the original production of "Phantom" when Crawford got "too old" for it. He has also had many British TV specials & has recorded several albums. Get a copy of 'Anderew Lloyd Webber - Celebration" or search for musical performance by Michael Ball. You won't be disappointed.
Michael BALL happens to be very well known all over the world, just not as familiar to the U.S. He is an incredibly talented singer/performer/actor. Also has his own radio show. Very successfully I might add. He is also a very nice, genuine and funny gentleman you'll notice if you watch any of his interviews. If you can't say something nice....
@Anothersatellite You want to watch a "show-boater," watch Anthony Warlow. Great voice but a little full of himself. I have a lot of respect for Michael Ball. I would think Glen Close was a little envious of his showstopping performance in this concert. Amazing!
i first watched this when it first came out on video-cassette, and i still watch it from time to time.. it just never gets old!! THANKS for posting! (not just this video, but all the other ones.. they're all FABULOUS and each one takes me on a trip down memory lane ..) i LOVE it!
