AMAZING! This is on his album as well! David claims he 'used to be in musical theatre' and that he is focusing on singing now, which is a massive disappointment! I'd rank him below Ramin but way above Tam or the other understudies, in fact, I was really wishing he would be the replacemnt phantom after ramin leaves... Any ideas on who that will be now that Mr. Shannon is out of the question?

[CharmedBalthazar]

@101moviegod Well i would think Tam might get a shot, any other London phantoms are possible. Or maybe they'd cast someone who's never been involved with Phantom before, who knows? I'm thinking that since ALW just cast Michael Crawford to play The Wizard of Oz which is gonna be a limited run, maybe MC will stay in London and do some LND? I would hope so.

epiiccc that both of my casts when I was last in England are singing the songss<3 now I just need to hear Will Baratt's "Why Does She Love Me"!! :D

[CharmedBalthazar]

@musicalchix Hah i totally agree! Except i saw Simon Bailey as Raoul. And ofcourse Gina Beck and David Shannon as Chirstine and the Phantom respectivly. :) Glad you liked the video!

David gives a much more "tight" performance than Ramin. Ramin IS the best, I'm not disputing that - he offers raw emotion and a melodic belt voice, however david contrasts that well with a much softer version here. LIKE DAVID, LIKE RAMIN.

Problem solved. ((:

[CharmedBalthazar]

@SuddenlySAMM Love them both too! They're so different!

Better than Ramin. Ramin is too nasal. Perhaps I am biased as a classical singer. I agree that Ramin's version has more agression, however this man's tone is definitely better.

[sryh2opolo]

This is a great version but i still can't beat Ben lewis. defiantly beats Ramin Karimloo though

[fatheqbraeuwn]

This is excellent. Never heard of David Shannon before. He's certainly no Ramin, but he does a very good job. There's only one Ramin after all.

Wow! This made me smile and cry. If I ever see the show I know I will cry. The first time I saw "The Phantom of the Opera" I cried, and I have a feeling "Love Never Dies" will make me cry, also. I still dream of playing Christine, also, but I have to wait a few more years.

@kcliffo8 Too true. I can never get into a song if things about the singer's voice throw me off. Ramin has too many things going against him for me to really and completely enjoy his performances. He's good, but not my ideal performer.

[phyllisahoe]

Beautiful voice. Doesn't stir my soul or wring my heart like Ramin's does, it's just a tad *too* flawless, but still powerful enough to impress.

[LOVxxE]

Very Beautiful, I Love it...so soft!

[catyeyes87]

Quite a bit better than David Campbell's version of the song.

@CharmedBalthazar As amazing as MC returning to the phantom in any way shape or form I do not see it happening sadly, and MC's voice and LND do not seem like they would work, I mean MC is the best phantom IMO but the rock edge like in TBU would seem off but its a lovely thought perhaps another ALW CD with him singing select songs from LND....if not we can dream.
