I adore this man, I wish I could meet him, LOL

Well maybe not Id probly do something naughty :P

[TheAntiPleb]

This man has an incredible voice. I nearly melt every time he starts singing in 'Look Down.'

'Where are the leaders of the land?

Where are the swells who run this show?'

I would've liked to have seen him play the Phantom. Based on this performance, I think he might've been able to do it.

[recapdrake]

this is awesome except that the phantom is supposed to be seductive he shouldnt make you want to go build a barricade and lead a revolution ;)

I think I just died a little inside.

In the good way though. Cause I just found heaven. <3

@Dirschbag Me too! :D Way too many tenors in musical theater!

[Dirschbag]

@HaraldJoe69 I see your point. I would love to see a lead role that's made for a baritone so he doesn't have to strain for the high notes!

[HaraldJoe69]

@Dirschbag I wouldn't call his range compact' Musical theater has an unfortunate bias against basses and baritones. Almost every lead role is a tenor. He has a pretty good upper range for someone who is clearly a lower baritone/bass. The vowels on 'away' and 'day' are a bit annoying, but that's because he is going on the dipthong too quickly. I will admit that the aflat 'beeeeeee' is a fairly shaky, but that's if we are comparing to it to a tenor like Colm Wilkinson/John Owen Jones/Karimloo

[Dirschbag]

@HaraldJoe69 He does have a nice timbre...if he sings a song that's in his compact range. His vowels are ridiculous especially at the end of words like "away" and "day." It gets spread and goes right into his nose. He just sounds shaky most of the time like he's barely hitting the note.

[HaraldJoe69]

@Dirschbag Are you kidding? He is an absolutely amazing baritone with remarkable control and timbre

@ImJimmbo I AGREE! There's so much fan-girl obsession over Ramin at the moment. Michael is better.

It's so interesting that the voice is from Michael but the picture in this video showing Ramin Karimloo, and more interesting that they were both amazing Enjolras!
