Actually, I think Ben is fantastic. The Phantom ought to be mysterious, ominous, dark, but tender too and the depth of Ben's vocals capture the light and shade, the very heart of the Phantom's struggle. I don't usual comment on these walls, but I was quite struck by Ben's performance - I thought he was excellent.

I love Ben's version. Until you've heard him sing this live in the production you have no say in who's better. I've seen both, and they're incomparable. Both sung it differently, both sung it perfectly in their own way :)

I attended the LND production with my girlfriend, and managed the perfect seats in the house: front row, centred. I don't say this sparingly, but Ben's projection was phenomenal live just as his colleague Anna. But the real reason I love it is because his performance catalysed so many memories of despair and anguish due to separation in my own past. Thank Mr Lewis, you are truly an amazing performer.

Although I'm not entirely a fan of the changes of the characters (from the London to Australian production). I thought that Lewis was brilliant as Erik. His vocals were spot-on.

Just saw the LND movie last night and Mr. Lewis was astonishing as the Phantom. I understand the controversy about this POTO sequel but I found LND a terrific piece of theater.

I would fly in from the States to Australia to see Ben live. No joke. I love his vocals.

This voice is 100% perfect for the role of the phantom. You can hear its tortured experiences through the tone and perfect pitch and contour. AMAZING!

Alright I absolutely adore Ramin singing thin song and every other time I've herd Ben i"ve been iffy,but this one is close.However the way Ben sings real (2:31) us not as good as Ramins. its also very hard to choose one over the other because Ben sings in a more mature tone as appose to Ramins. Id also like to point out that when Ben makes that hand motion at 2:40 is originally what Ramin does. I think that im still leanin twords Ramin

I watched LND - and I kind of wish I didn't just purely because I feel it stripped away all that was beautiful in TPOTO. But in saying that, this song is amazing and Ben Lewis sings the hell out of it! His voice is rich and powerful - and i watch this video over and over again

@n1nthr93 Choosing a baritone for an older and sadder Phantom (over a tenor like the original) is a stroke of genius I think. The depth really carries that extra something. This Phantom is no longer the young lustful mastermind we once knew. The years have made him really bitter and frustrated, and the weight of his obsession is greater. I think you do sense that focus throughout the whole piece. There is purposefully less musical variations and more restraint.

I thought it was a masterpiece.

I wasn't big on his singing at first, but after I heard Ben sing this, I have definitely grown to like him! [:
