Michael Crawford - Singing "O Holy Night" in Bethlehem

Michael singing in Bethlehem 1999

[@TristanandIsolt]

Every great world class singer on earth sings this song and of all those great world class singers Michael Crawford does the best performance.

[@TakersMissy]

Yes! I love Michael and his amazing, beautiful singing SO MUCH! 😊❤️❤️

[@irminako5486]

Michael Crawford and Julie Andrews :)

[@TimothyAsbridge_TENOR]

Nonsense. He has a microphone jammed down his throat. Either Bjorling or Caruso sing the best performances of this on record.

[@TristanandIsolt]

@@TimothyAsbridge_TENOR You have your right to be wrong. Crawford buries them.

[@TimothyAsbridge_TENOR]

@@TristanandIsolt my God you are ignorant.

[@jeannahicks7251]

This is simply breathtaking. What an incredible feeling it must have been for him to sing this song in Bethlehem.

[@tracygreenwood9524]

In tears listening to you sing with so much heart! Bless you Michael Crawford!

[@mariaisabelcruz4943]

There are some people who could not die. No words for this performence. Michael is the best of all times. The best singer, the best actor, the best heart so generous, so wonderful, so unique.

[@BigSplenda1885]

Such strength and yet softness to his voice

[@mpaws]

Absolutely stunning. In my opinion no one has ever sung this better. His vocals at the end always take my breath away.

[@lesleywilbourne7823]

You're so right they take my breath away too ❤

[@lennyg3684]

When the Lord wants to listen to this song....It's this version he wants to hear.

[@Zzzzurf]

I dont tink så

[@FSEVENMAN]

Respectfully I disagree ., he does an almost identical yet better version.... But, Then there's that whole imaginary God, religion is bullshit thing.... 🙂

[@cymruambyth14]

My brother's all time favorite Christmas carol sang by his favorite singer, the one and only Michael Crawford. Rest in Peace my sweet brother, I love you forever Bachi Bear.

[@goo83]

his voice is so fitting for Christmas music. it's magical and been one of my favorites for over 25 years.

[@johnflahive7539]

Fantastic the voice is golden God Bless

[@Wild_Untamed]

Angelic Voice of Michael Crawford ❤️

[@patrarus6097]

Beautiful, inspiring, warm-hearted -- the best of the versions I have heard!

[@valeriestokes5064]

Lovely lovely my all time favourite ❤😂

[@dianaharvey3813]

He is so talented! To go from playing Frank Spencer and then sing like this! Amazing!

[@jonecabs]

His voice is truly divine! The "angel of music"!

[@martharogers9173]

Number 1, the best ever on this song

[@jacklancashire2793]

A beautiful and moving recording. Every word crystal clear. Thank you Michael Crawford.

[@TristanandIsolt]

The Phantom's vocals on this song are the best vocals I have ever heard. I get massive goosebumps every time I hear that double crescendo of Noel at the end.

[@theworldisajojoreference8342]

Yes

[@cateybrackin6283]

I agree. Made me more sympathetic to the Phantom chraracter. Moved me to tears lol

[@gloriabarberi1292]

Angel of music

[@wrightvideos2011]

I haven’t seen The Phantom of the Opera in person with Michael playing the Phantom, but it’s very difficult not to separate the two. This performance will never be beaten

[@chrisyoungblood1421]

Such an amazing performance from the greatest singer of all time!

[@denisezahn5303]

Michael has an absolutely beautiful spirit to him. He has the voice of an angel. I was brought to tears.

[@darthkurland]

A true Angel of music.

[@lidiasoares5675]

Thanks be to God for such a Gift! God bless Michael Crawford.

[@user-eu1cm8wz9g]

What a wonderful voice Michael Crawford has ❤😊 2:22

[@juliabittner8976]

I love this! Brings me to tears every time. 💜

[@MarkW0713]

Hauntingly beautiful!!! Sing like no other!!

[@ericbalazs5032]

I was fortunate enough to see him as the Phantom years ago! In the 4th row center stage. One of the best days of my life! Priceless!!!

[@Jukka70]

His singing of O Holy Night is my favorite of any singer, and my favorite Christmas Carol. Part of my Christmas ritual each, is to listen to this song with him singing

[@TristanandIsolt]

I will listen to this throughout the year, but on Thanksgiving I play it to officially announce the beginning of the Christmas season.

[@carol29carnegie]

Jukes I agree wit everything you said, my exact feelings too, absolutely beautiful ☺️

[@toniharbaugh2979]

No one can sing that the way he does - absolutely beautiful!

[@bobfoust6406]

Check out David Phelps version… best ever!

[@clicks59]

Vocal bliss ............. He was “The Phantom” in the theatrical version of the “The Phantom of the Opera”. I saw him live at the Geary Theatre in downtown San Francisco on New Year’s eve 1995. Holy cow! The man has an incredible voice with power to spare. Thank you Michael!

[@gordoh7634]

Thank you for the post I can never keep dry when I listen to Michael Crawford sing this song. It is truly angelic. If I could wrap Christianity up in one song this is it.

[@jacquelinefickis1734]

Michael Crawford is an amazing singer ❤

[@davidcambra1554]

[@jonathanbrizuela2070]

No better voice for this song

[@lovetheclassics100]

agreed! Michael Crawfords voice somehow seems made for this song/hymm.

[@fay-amieaspen6046]

Single voice yes, but I love Il Divo performing this also. On a PS, also love Mr Crawford singing Gethsemane.

[@krystalharwood5240]

and no better place...jesus's birthtown

[@haveagreatday2823]

Perfect control of that beautiful voice!! Amazing!!

[@robyncarlin6931]

So beautiful ❤

[@Nannasrevival]

My favourite Christmas Carol sung brilliantly by my favourite singer. ❤️

[@RFazor]

The greatest version of all time!

[@jaredolson7543]

Wow!

[@bingweber7172]

the best version I've ever heard sang of this Xmas song....Mr. Crawford is truly a gifted performer, sings with so much depth and a naturally nice timbre in his voice, hope to see him sing some more of the Xmas melodies.

[@siuwahchan]

He is great entertainer and great personality. I am so happy that Andrew Lloyd Weber that 40+ years ago found him to play the role of Phantom .

[@AnnetteMurphyger]

Magnificent Michael.

[@shilou80]

Beautiful!

[@BrainTranscription]

Michael Crawford always sings like a haunted and angelic ghost, and I love it.

[@sheilasmith2868]

[@joeheid2776]

If this doesn't draw a tear to your eye I feel sorry for you.

[@karenpinson759]

One of my holiday favorites! Just as good and powerful as Josh Groban's!

[@mauricelloyd1619]

amazing

[@philclifford2313]

What a great voice , from a great singer. Who would have thought Frank Spencer would have come this far. He sings his songs with so much feeling and sincerity as though he is part of them. I'm not afraid to admit that hearing him sing this song made my eyes swell up. An amazing man.

[@carolynhiebert2773]

The character of the man is reflected in his ability to convey the beauty of this song….one of my favorites.

[@jeanmerron1918]

Bethehem the right place to sing this

[@TristanandIsolt]

Well it is The Phantom of the Opera singing this song.

[@catherinebracy4332]

[@02887727356]

micheal and Sissel heaven

[@bobfoust6406]

This is excellent, however, for those who haven’t heard David Phelps rendition please check it out on KZbin. David Phelps O Holy Night will leave you in awe. By the way, Michael lip syncs this from his earlier performance on David Fosters holiday special… he did not sing this live…

[@VernonChadwick-rl2ce]

😂❤❤

[@kristincook6485]

Only one word "WOW
