  • His face is very not-disfigured for being the phantom

  • Bravo!

  • Beautiful and Romantic.... He truly loves her....ardently.

  • this song has really grown on me. wow.

  • It's Christine. She is married to Raoul and has a son. The story is very much based on the book "The Phantom of Manhattan."

  • it randomly paused at 2:45, HAHA i was expecting the next big note and then......NOTHING...

  • What about the mask????? I'm confused!!!!! What did I miss?????

  • how can people dislike this?! AMAZING!

  • Wow... When it comes to the Phantom... Love truly never dies...

  • What a great voice. What else has Karimloo done?

  • Comment removed

  • Wow... this song was just so... terrible.

  • i don't under stand is that the phantom? and does he get his own girl in the phantom of the opera 2

  • His voice is incredible. Total perfection!!! Each time he gets to 'let them die' I always feel tearful!! So much passion in his voice <3 I could listen to this for the rest of my life...!

  • I recently went to london and there were ad's for this show everywhere. It looked like amazing! now i really want to go back to london just to see it!

  • I love Ramin Karimloo! He is amazing! :) I just can't stop listening to him sing this because I just love his voice! His voice is just... I can't put it to words. :D Love him! He's smexy!

  • I'm still not sure if I'll ever let myself see this. But I really do love the music anyway... Although, this song did help me get through a very difficult time in my life.

  • This guy is AMAZING!!!! although Gerard Butler is better

  • @thefiddlergirl

    I'm sure there may be several that are or could be better, but this is about Karimloo's version. He did fine.

  • They better pick Gerard Butler for POTO2

  • Why dose he need to hear her sing he should just listen to himself he's EXCELENT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • ahhh his voice is so beautiful...

  • Ugh it justs kills me that I will never get to hear him sing this live :(

  • He's good!!! Doesn't hurt that the guy singing is good looking.

  • He has a very nice voice!! :D

  • The Phantom is every stalker's hero and role model, just like Ayn Rand's John Galt in "Atlas Shrugged."

  • @VampireKisses667 This video is just a promo. He has a deformatiy in the show.

  • I actually saw this in May with the orginial cast. It was fantastic. Andrew Lloyd Weber is a genus. The cast was incredible. The music touches you to down to the core. Can't wait to see it again!

  • I wish I could see this one.

    I saw the first and it was FANTASTIC!!! THE BEST OPERA IN THE WHOOOOOLE WORL!! My whole class went and I was holding my friends hand the whole time. I also cried at the end =D And we got to see the cast in person and ask them questions XD To much fun.

  • They are both SO attractive! Luckies... :) Anyway. This is the only song from the musical that I like. The rest were just...blah.

  • Christine has a really persistent stalker.

  • i want to see this movie for myself, i jsut need to find it

  • @narutoEATsasuke This is not a movie it's a show. Unless you are talking about the phantom of the opera movie.

  • Love Ramin and Sierra.

  • I just found out about this!! omg!

  • I'm a Die-hard Phan. I have to disagree with those who don't want a sequel. We can't be delusional to think Poto was perfection, people hated it when it first came out. The book was complex to a degree and Webber agreed, given the chance he wishes he could have developed the characters more. It's a tragic story, Christine loves Erik but he represents everything society would deem wrong in her time, so she goes with Raoul. It's superficial, I hate to say. Give the new one a chance! I love it.

  • Comment removed

  • Christine has a son named Gustave. And the Phantom is still in love with Christine, she doesn't have a daughter.

  • There's a book called Phantom of Manhattan, I believe that is the basis for the sequel. Describes how the Phantom is now in NY, and builds a grand opera house and lures Christine to star in his masterpiece. She has a son by the phantom and father and son are reunited at the end.

  • @acalod well in the play christine and roul are still together and her and roul have a son together and all travel to coney's island for her to sing

  • @redmoonic90 Yes, in the book, Phantom of Manhattan, the Phantom goes to New York, builds this impressive opera house and signs Christine to star in a play he had written. All this done "behind the scenes" if you will. At one point in the story, she does go to Coney Island becase of a toy. Although she is married to Roul and they have a son, it is revealed that he is impotent and the son is actually the Phantoms.

  • @acalod The sons the Phantoms!? No way, how!?

  • Is that the stage of her majastys theatre or the adalphi theatre i wish rutc would put more videos of the stage footage on

  • Good song and all but I feel they messed up it all by having him go after her.

    By doing so the end doesn't make sense in the movie and the book would also not make any sense.

    I think it would have been cool to give the phantom an protege'.

  • Actually Christine has a son instead of a daughter and the son has a musical talent similar to the phantom's. The play is set in coney island ten years after the first POTO. And the conflict is between Meg and Christine, and Raoul and The Phantom as they battle for one another's affections

  • This phanom doesn't even have a disfigured face! GOSH!

  • Presumably we're to imagine the phantom here being actually deformed and way older?

  • MUST SEE!

  • That was beautiful! I prefer Gerard Butler's void though.

  • i feeel like this song is AMAZING but i heard the whole plotline and im not sure if im gonna like it, but i also didnt think id like the original Phantom of the Opera so lets see

  • omg! christines daughter?

    so typical webber,total perve....

  • @MissEmmaDwyer What do you mean? Christine doesnt have a daughter.

  • @EplusCequalsLUV She does

  • @MissEmmaDwyer its not christine's daughter that christine herself ten years after the first phantom

  • OMG! What a gorgeous voice! OMG had me mesmerized!

  • I think it will be very hard for this play to do what the original did, and I know it won't. I still, however, would like to see it. I think that what makes Phantom so dramatic and mysterious is not knowing what ill become of him at the end, and adding on to the story will be very hard. Webber will no doubt do a great job on the music, and I can't wait to hear more.

  • amazing- simply breathtaking.

  • Why isn't the phantoms face deformed any more?

  • His face is deformed. But not in this video. In the play he still wears a mask and is deformed. This was just a little video they gave to thr public. They didnt go through the trouble of doing up his face. The purpose was to let the audience get a feel of the musical.

  • This is just a music video for it. In the stage show hes deformed.

  • I believe that if you look on the Love Never Dies website it says there that Andrew Lloyd Webber is going to bring it to New York on November 11th 2010. That's all I know.

  • The plot is terrible and most of the music is worthless compared to the original. There's a few good songs, but I wouldn't pay to see this sequel.

  • Love it! Beautiful! I want to see the show when I can.

    I am so old that I remember Mario Lanza and this voice is very reminiscent!

  • It takes place on Coney Island!!! I predict failure. And I love POTO. Oh well, we will see how it goes.

  • the whole plot is online, it's upsetting and I prefer the first version...but it's still phantom...so it's still precious and unique in its own way...this song is breathtaking...

  • at 2:51 when he sings "let" what note is he singing "let" on is it G4 and the high notes in this song which is the highest?

  • Hope to God they don't totally screw up how good the first one was....Jeez.........

  • I am so excited for this! I love POTO! I just hope they don't ruin it...

  • Where did you get this information?

  • Amazing!

  • I am very happy it will be continued, but i fear for the plot and how it will go over with the public. I mean this song is beautiful, but i am confused on what it will be about...i mean will he find another woman? wil he go and search for christine? I am very anxious to learn!

  • @LolitaLexi

    What I've heard is that it is Christine's daughter he falls in love with.

  • @QuietKid777 A daughter? Gustave is their only child! This is crazzzyyy!!!!

  • nooooo! Never! First of all... she would be !o YEARS OLD!

  • woops i meant 10 not !0

  • @QuietKid777

    Never mind, I'm wrong. He runs into Christine again. I'm not 100 percent sure.

  • @QuietKid777 no no no he's loved her for ten years tricks her to come to coney island so he can have a second shot at her, and then discovers that her son is actually his and not raoul's.

  • @QuietKid777 the musical is supposed to be set immediately after the first one

  • @QuietKid777 lol christine doesnt have a daughter... if you watch the video with andrew webber he clearly states that Raul and Christine have a son named Gustave after Christine's father

  • seen it yesterday sorry you are wrong

  • @QuietKid777 actually no it is christine 10 years later she takes a singing job at coney's island in america that the phantom set up for her to get and the meaning of the story is that he tries to prove that even 10 years later his love for her never dies and she doesnt have a daughter she only has a son named Gustave

  • @QuietKid777 and second,

    christine has a boy, but a girl.

    gustav i believe?

  • I loved the original POTO and I think this will be pretty good too. And for all those people posting negative comments about a show they haven't even seen the solution is simple - don't go and see it and leave the rest of us to enjoy it.

  • he has a lovely voice but this song does not touch me att all i mean wat happened u kno the first PHANTOM OF THE OPERA had amazing music that just touched ur soul there is no need to make a sequel it makes no scene at all and really pisses me off lol

  • Wow...simmer down haha no need to put me down. Anybody can say what they want, and I refuse to fight with someone online so case closed haha

  • Wasn't putting you down, but am glad the case is closed. :)

  • Sure, hardly anything can compare to the beauty of the original POTO, but it's really sad to see so many people put a harsh criticism on this musical before it even opened.

    I adored Sierra in Little Mermaid and she will be fantastic in this. I hope I get to see her and Ramin Karimloo perform on Broadway. I saw Hugh Panaro as the Phantom and I was blown away by him, but Ramin is definitely something.

  • For the 1000000000000000000000000th time, no-one needs to wait until this has opened to criticize the existence of a sequel.

  • isn it just me or does this movie look gothic?

  • "You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you !!!"

    I believe when he left the Lake house he wished to leave him in peace....

  • Pls NO sequel!! Phantom has a great storyline and beautiful music, those are really the main factors contributing to its phenomenal success.we don't want another crappy storyline that may ultimately ruin the magic of phantom...why can't ALW produce another musical independent of the original phantom..??i'd rather there be no relations to phantom at all..

  • Same - especially when you consider that it is based on fan fic

  • His voice is amazing and the song is gorgeous, but the original Phantom does not need a sequel. The storyline is awful! Christine and Phantom share a son? And it takes place in New York? Everything takes place in NY. Hopefully the music will be good. That would be the only redeeming value I believe. Lloyd Webber's music is amazing, if not his story lines.

  • Agreed, the storyline is horrendous.

  • i agree. I like what i've heard of the music so far, but the story is terrible.

  • This song makes me cry...much in the same way I'd cry if a hot iron rod was slowly being driven into my ear canal.

  • Moi aussi, cette chanson affreuse me fait pleurer !

  • Words can't express how much I loved the original musical! And knowing how beautiful it is and finding that theres going to be a sequal that's going to ruin it, just makes me really sad to be honest:(

  • @englove369 Totally agree. Why mess with perfection. The untold is part of the wonderful mystery. The story was perfect and complete.

  • I think its beautiful, loved the Phantom of the Opera cant wait to hear this preformed live! Lloyd Webber is a genious!

  • This guy has a good voice and a sequel would be interesting... but I honestly think there shouldn't be one....I love the Phantom of the Opera just as it is.

  • Ugh.

    Pretty sure ALW should have been committed a longggg time ago =/

  • I hope it flops. No seriously, from what I've heard, the plot is so weak. I feel like Webber is too caught up with his alter ego, which would be the Phantom.

    Yikes.

  • Oh wow the lyrics can't compare to the orginal songs which actually TOLD a lot of the story of the orginal muiscal..most of the orginal POTO is sung hopefuly this sequel will do the same but this doesn't look good so far...anyway the words to this song make me less depressed about the words for the songs in my musicals that I write...

  • O_O nooooo...

  • Yikes...

  • NO PLEASE DNT MAKE A SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!! the phantom of the opera is the most beautiful love story ever its one that shuldnt ever be touched just like titanic i cnt belive a sequel is coming this makes me so sad and mad

  • @BloodPriest Looks to like YOUR comment is the "retarded" one. Lloyd Webber is not the creator of the Phantom story, and just because he can do something, doesn't mean he should. People have a right to express their opinion, otherwise what is the point of the comments feature?

  • @BloodPreist ur fuckin stupid seriously im voicing my opinion and i can assure that more ppl agree with me than with ur comment

  • I agree with you, sandee12341.

  • @PhantomScorp thank u =)

  • i aint saying it is im just saying that i bet more ppl argreed with me than wat the other dipshit said i never was making it into a contest

  • @sandee12341

    Well asking the general public to cast votes for or against your opinion sounds an awful lot like a popularity contest to me.

  • You were rude to sandee12341, she got back up, you lost. Deal with it.

  • i wasnt asking for back up i just stated that more ppl argreed with me i never said IF U AGREE WITH ME CAST A VOTE u really shuld read everything i wrote b4 u go judgeing stupid

  • @sandee12341

    Regardless, my opinion is obviously more valid than yours, simply due to the apparent lack of intelligence as displayed by your spelling and grammar mistakes.

  • u kno wat watever obviously have nothin better yo do than to be here acting stupid so watever

  • Well that shows how stupid you are, then, since you obviously can't spell the word "Priest".

  • No it's not. :) I'm done defending sandee anyway, if you want to kill her, do so, but you're still an idiot.

  • omg CAN U SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!! dnt u have anything better to do seriously i dnt give a fuck wat you think

  • im not guna admit that i have a terrible opinion because its my opinion and i truly think that THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA shuld NEVER be touched but whatever im done with you, you obviously have nothing better to do

  • @BloodPreist, you should just stop posting on YouTube and go to school so you learn how to spell "Priest" before criticizing others' spelling. :)

  • @sandee12341 totally agree. I can't believe that Sir Andrew would even consider it.

  • @cunnidvd i kno rite i hear that its really good but i doubt it is sorry but the phantom of the opera is perfect it shuldnt ever be touched idk what made him do this

  • Ok What is up with the lyrics?!?!

  • LOVE THIS SONG!

    but not a fan of the lyrics....doesnt have the same beautiful lyrics like in POTO

  • I'm not completely against a sequel, but these lyrics are pretty bad. I think that they were made to be more modern than the original.

  • @taishamerichinchara They lyrics are bad because everyone is listening to it and interpreting it wrong. He asked Christine to come sing and she agreed without knowing it was him. He's saying that hearing her sing again just one more time will make him complete. It's giving him another chance.

  • This doesn't place me into another world at all, well, except maybe hell.

    And I'm sorry, but "serious" musical fans understand that musicals are story-driven (as Lloyd Webber himself always says) and that words are just as much important as music.. Otherwise why not just release an instrumental CD and be done with it?!

  • Not deaf but I do question your hearing. Did the line "the moments creep/yet I can't bear to sleep" not make you cringe? Or indeed every rubbish lyric in this?

  • Hal Prince who directed the original said that although the audience should end up almost wanting or even plain wanting the Christine to end up with the Phantom at the end, it's important they this never actually happens because it's not believable. No woman would choose to live with a stalker and serial killer who lives underground. Frankly anyone who seriously thinks that deserves to be put in the same situation IMHO! And the music here is not at all appropriate. And the lyrics stink.

  • Terrible deception! There´s nothing new under the sun! TILL I HEAR YOU SING is exactly as if you say: WISHING YOU WERE SOMEHOW HERE AGAIN. Poor phantom, poor phantom... WHY A SEQUEL??????????

  • I'm willing to live with thew fact that there is going to be a sequel. The story sounds interesting, yet still mysterious at the same time, I don't think it's right to shoot something down so quickly before you even see it.

  • I don't think it's right to shoot down the power of the original with something that screams fanfiction, and bad fanfiction at that.

  • I expect their mother taught them freedom of expression and use of intelligence!

  • she looks like a porn star...

  • I in no way agree with this sequel! I mean Phantom was perfectly fine the way it ended...bitter sweet almost...I don't care for it so much

  • Completely agree!

  • The phantom needs to be OLDER for the sequel ! Please pray that the NYC phantom for the new production of LND will be Howard Mcgillin !!! The music is good here, but lyrics are so-so and not as vague, intelligent and beautiful as original. PS If Michael Crawford could do the NYC opening of course, he is my FIRST choice!!!!!!! Howard a second !

  • You don't want Michael Crawford or Howard McGillin to appear in this really. It's best that neither of them are tainted by this rubbish.

  • Wow! you all have such good comments!

  • Let me say this up front: I do NOT like the fact that Mr. Webber is making a sequel, I dont beleive he had the right, the Phantom is not his story and was meant to remain a mystery, but...

    The music is fantastic. The singer was phenomonal. Andrew Lloyd Webber is one of the best composers alive.

  • If that is just a small taste of what the sequel is going to be like, then by all that is beautiful it will be amazing to watch. Lloyd Webber has done it again

  • Indeed it looks like he's created a trainwreck possibly even more disastrous than the 2004 movie. He's definitely done it again!

  • LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT !!!
