Love Never Dies - A Melodic Rant

Love Never Dies...But it's pretty bland. I don't understand why, with all the glorified Fanfics outthere, ALW picked the most predictable one to base his million-dollar sequel on. Maybe it's "The 2004 Movie Never Dies," but say, instead of Forsythe, ALW went with Kay, and made a prequel -- how interesting that would have been? We could have kept the perfect ending and learned more about Erik's past.

Steven Sondheim, can you hear me? Perhaps when you're done laughing at this mess from your poetic chair, you'd churn up some lyrical genius Kay-based, twisted prequel of your own? Unlikely? A girl can dream.

This is just a medley of some of the songs from LND, which I'm sure some of you have heard -- As you can see, I couldn't hold back some opinions of my own. But the melodies are intact.

Thanks for listening guys -- and for your subscriptions. And yes, I'm going to watch it. Because it's Phantom, and I can't help myself :)

I saw LND in the Adelphi and found it very enjoyable and far superior to the CD. When the show comes to the states, see it before you make judgements.

Don't see it as a gothic romance like Phantom1, but as an tale of redemption, You'll be far happier that way.

@SavageBroadcast Im absolutely going to see it! I will watch anything phantom especially ALW-phantom. This vid is kind of tongue in cheek and no "phan", myself included, can deny ourselves Erik/Christine doe-eyed moments;)

What a beautiful voice you have:) I hate the whole idea of the musical, but I'd admit some songs, at least the melody, (some of the lyrics are quite bad) are nice. Just hoping it does not tarnish the reputation of the original, at least that the power of the TRUE story is unaffected.

I just loved this sooo much, your irony killed me XD

[musiclower337]

*laughs* Your video summary had me in stitches (pun intended). Presuming you are the same Stitchgrl, I just want to mail ALW a copy of Temperance and say "SEE? SEE, you insufferable man?! In their free time, UNPAID, your fans manage to write material that runs circles around this pathetic excuse for a sequel. Get your head on straight, man."

On a happier note, you have a beautiful voice. Hardly seems fair that you should be such a talented writer AND singer. Some people get all the luck. ;)

I'm just going to comment on your amazing singing.. : ) haha, seriously, it's amazing. Personally I don't hate Love Never Dies. Obviously it has a LOT of flaws, but I'm not organized to compose a rant. So basically, I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

This is the best thing i've seen in a long time!

I bought the CD a few months ago, listened to it,

and was so dissipointed.

Your voice is amazing! I love the begginning when you sang the "Ohhh" part and said it was the best thing in the entire play- cause it's true :P
