Ramin Karimloo TIHYS Final. 27/08/11 Evening

[deedeelizard]

WOW incredible, Awesome. ALW made a huge mistake not casting Ramin as phantom in the Love Never Dies dvd :(

[JackiieRoss]

@deedeelizard he didn't not cast him. It's a DVD of the Australian cast, who have worked just as hard as our London cast did on the show.

[coffillj]

Truly beautiful ! Bravo Ramin.

[iTzVergil]

Why would you close this show? WHY?

[FJDAfamily]

Two dislikes?? GET MY LASSO!!

[loyapauli]

omg! im crying so hard!!... im imagine the standing ovation...

[katieelizabethgraham]

TWO PEOPLE DARE TO COUGH OVER RAMIN'S AMAZING VOICE. I shall hunt them down.

[xpeacex16]

no one's dead. he's singing about his love of Christine and how he wants to hear her sing once more (hence Love Never Dies)

[JAYCREEPBITCH]

He really is somethin else!

[hershism]

Amazing... perfection.

[0612charliebrown]

oh and he holds that last note for 13 seconds without stopping!

[0612charliebrown]

Why is this man so god dam good? Everytime I listen to this music I get a shiver down my spine. That top b flat is a note that not many men can hit, and he does it without a single flaw - its total perfection. I was honoured to see this show 5 times. Everytime was perfect, he sets the bar incredibly high for the rest of the show and nobody can match him or even get close. Ramin your a legend!

[phantom0342]

Who was dead?

[anon0987654]

@phantom0342 what do you mean?......

[jojphan001]

@phantom0342 no one at that time he was singing it... although christine dies at the end..

[Giovanni222]

@jojphan001 OH GOD SPOILER ALERT.

[Ozryprodutions]

@jojphan001 SPOILER!!! Dont worry I already knew from the ending video :D

[heringtonchick]

I am in absolute love with him. His voice is beautiful. I love the emotion that fills it towards the end of the song. God I love this!!!! <3

[golfurchik]

I saw Ramin when he was in Phantom. Ramin IS the phantom. Noone will ever be better than him. I only wish I could have seen LND because the music is incredible.

[pudsey4000]

THIS WAS AMAZING!! The atmosphere was electric and we stopped the show as it was a FULL HOUSE standing ovation! It had me in tears because the words were so apt to it's last night. I met him and got a hug afterwards, and I was still crying by then! When he started sing Love Never Dies itself, I was in floods. Well done, Sir, you remain so far the only Phantom who has made me cry in the original AND the sequel!

[ThePhantomOfLondon]

Whenever I feel down or have bottled emotions i listen to this and it sets me free

[futurevet13]

WOW... !!!

[JAyala7293]

Its just so damn emotional, by far his best performance. It was amazing. Mr. Karimloo, that is why you remain one of my favorite Phantoms, and a vocal role model for me :)

[TLKthing3]

I bet those two people were the Giry's, lol

[theconcertgiver]

2 people don't know true singing.

[dethe8ter]

Good at LND but to me his POTO performance lacks that is just my opinion. He sounds too young in my opinion.

[DBubi]

@dethe8ter So the Eriks should be all middle-aged? Age matters not, just voice and singing.

[dethe8ter]

@DBubi Well when the character is middle aged it would make sense to have that as a requirement and if not middle aged at least have a more mature sounding voice for example Colm Wilkinson is younger than the original Phantom but his voice sounds older that is all I am saying.

[veepeecee]

Wow, can't imagine what this must have felt for him. I mean, he's been in LND for two years and this was the last time. I think you can really hear it in his voice, all that emotion... I was so sad I couldn't be there, so thank you so much for uploading this! I wanted to hear it so badly. God I love him <3

[BuzzBuzzerful]

WOW! So wish I could of been there for the last night! How long did that ovation go on for? I can't belive its closed! It was AWSOME!

He puts SO much passion and emotion into it, just breaks your heart! I don't suppose it was recorded for digital theatre?  Wishful thinking!!!!

[lilsisasu]

I guess will all have to wait to hear Ramin sing once more :)

[perry24able]

@lilsisasu haha and fortunately not too long either... this sunday!!

[lilsisasu]

@perry24able I know!

[lilsisasu]

I'm so glad he went back to singing the original lyrics, but it makes me that much sadder that it closed. I never got to see Ramin in it. Thankfully, I'll get to see him in October (getting to watch it in a theater over here in the US)!

[musictillthendoftime]

my god this amazing and yay original lyrics :'( i'm so sad i never go to see LND </3 but going to see Ramin in october so that kinda makes up for it :')

[aiesecoxford]

Did he go back to "the empty air" as it was the last performance? I never liked the change to "the cold night air."

[lilsisasu]

@aiesecoxford Yes he did.  I didn't like the change either.

[phantomphan4ever1]

I shiver like over 20 times... he is such a good singer singing such a good song. I'm glad will be is the 25th anniversary phantom. AND YOUR MUSIC part literally made me shiver so bad I swear. I was close to peeing myself!!!!!!! :)

[ThePhantomOfLondon]

I'm a straight man and this has still reduced me to chills, thank you mr karimloo.

[ThornlessAngel]

I was so glad to be their for the original cast and the closing night of this wonderful musical. I gave Ramin a huge cheer and clap. His wife was also giving him a standing ovation aswel. <3 RAMIN KARIMLOO

[strymnky4evr]

London was clapping for Ramin that night :-)

[natnatbrady]

Is it ridiculous that I'm crying so hard?

[ThePitchFinder]

Btw I like how you or whoever the recorder was was crying to those last blasting orchestra notes "I'll always feel! No more than hallfff *sniff* *sniff *SNIFFFF*" XD

[fangbanger20]

It's such a shame that it closed. I love this musical so much :/ It will be missed...

[Breath2sing5291]

I'm balling so hard.

[Phantomluvr23]

Original lyrics!!!!!!!!

[ThePitchFinder]

@Phantomluvr23 Holy crap they are! I didn't notice before :D

[StarDust0293]

@Phantomluvr23

Thank god! I loved them -melts-

[Amby99]

Thank you sooo much for posting this!!!! This is my favorite song in the whole show. I'm just sad to see the show close, I never got to see it because I live in the US. Hopefully sometime in the future it will make its way back to stage where it belongs. Ramin is always amazing...but his performance WOW!!!! I'm blown away!

[sarahev89]

There are no words to describe his voice, now I relive this forever even though it is forever ingrained in my brain for being there for the final performance.

Completely agree: goosebumps EVERY time!

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

P.S. Love NEVER Dies... I pray it will come back to it's rightful home on the London Stage!

[n2i2c2k2y]

Goosebumps each and every time, Was at the adelphi in spirit but this I would ahve loved to have seen one last time, heard they played jokes and were really funny with the whole performance that night, wish they had filmed it and put that out as a dvd too !

[Spannersec]

Ramin is truely amazing and the very best Phantom there will EVER be. LND should never have closed. It is one of my fav musicals and this song will forever send shivers down my spine. Beautiful and got a lump in my throat just listening to it again. Thank you soooo much for posting this. I had tickets booked for his last night in Sept but then they pulled the plug. Fingers crossed it returns one day.

[AlcoFan2010]

@Spannersec Why did it close? It had an absolutely amazing/memorizing score. The story had some holes but it was beautiful!

[mapple4apple]

Thank you for posting this. I love this song and Ramin sang beautifully. Wishing to see him again as Phantom in 25th anniversary!

[wolfstar024]

Absolutely FANTASTIC, his voice never fails to send chills down my spine! You were so lucky to be there. I'm so bummed that it closed in London and I never got a chance to see it (or Ramin) in person :*-(

[AryAdoraMary]

I'M CRYING!

[Suisse87]

beautiful! I just wish people would only start clapping and cheering after the song is actually finished, you can barely hear that wonderful last note till the end :-(

[sianyjw]

amazing night, thanks for posting - brings back the great memories!

[GeoB]

I saw it last week, and thought it was incredible. It should not be closing, as someone said below you need to hear and watch it in its own right without comparisons to alw's other musicals, as this is in a league of its own. Ramin was amazing in this role, he completely made the phantom his own, and gave him an inner quirk which made his performance flawless. Just a stunning show, which should NOT be closing! Xx

[irenek518]

i think i was drooling a little while listening to this song. Truly a voice-gasm. :D

[GorgeousGirl200]

It was a fantastic night-everyone there loved the show and it was fabulous to be around some many people who appreciated the show for its own beauty and did not compare it to other Webber (especially Phantom) shows. There were standing ovations at numerous points during the show and every member of the cast deserved every second of applause they received because they were amazing! I feel honoured that I was able to be a part of that momentous night and believe me I know many people will miss it!

[strymnky4evr]

The best I heard him sing this song O.O my mind is blown! Ahhh...

[crunchie38]

It was truly magnificent - I was there and it felt like Ramin was giving his absolute EVERYTHING to that song, actually all the cast did!

[rachelbrickell]

now that was flawless, absolute perfection!

[cpjc08]

2 people are tone deaf

[cpjc08]

hes incredible. wish i was there more than anything

[Angtube463]

No doubt he will be singing it on his tour later this year. Can't wait to see him at the Mayflower Southampton on 4th November!

[rach46773]

Aw, that was beautiful! I'm sad it's finished, i would of loved to have seen him sing that very song live one more time. And with i think it's nice he used the old lyrics and not the changed ones. :) He deserves all the credit he gets, an completely amazing man, with a huge talent with a voice to match.

[BusinessDog2000]

Amazing. He sounds so emotional. It's like you can hear him thinking "This is the last time I'm going to be doing this."



[mundee23]

It was certainly a night to remember..and i love the old lyrics.. glad i got to hear them one last time..

[stringo1990]

it was an incredible night and so worth the wait at stage door for so long, cried so much and screamed like a baby when the lord came on! unforgettable! ramin was unbelievable! the standing ovation lasted a good while after this show stopper! :)

[Greenhousesisback]

Ahh what a amazing night it was :D So happy i was there :D AMAZING - He was at the Stage door for 2 hours too :) Such a nice, friendly person :D

[chernjam]

interesting that Ramin reverted back to the original lyrics ("the cold night air...")... What a phenomenal performance... I still think this song is a worthy successor (and enjoy it even more) to "Music of the Night" -

[jenpenphan]

Last night was incredible, I'm so glad I was there! All the cast deserved every standing ovation they got (and they got a lot of them!!)

[danieljohndoyle]

muis , your music send shivers down my spine !!!

[kendrarussell]

oh man, i wish you had the full audio up for trade. I also wish I had been there. it seems like it would have been a great performance

[Melstrife]

I hate knowing it's over! I wish I could have been there! T_T Not fair!!! I really hope that it comes back to London then goes to Broadway for us!!! Love this song, I want to cry. I can hear Ramin is sad, that this is the last time he will sing this song for a while. Thanks for putting it up!

[marky24601]

What an amazing night it was

[Tooky86]

I sooooooo wanted to be there... :"(
