Yes, even with only actually doing one show on Broadway!

[@RoseUchihachan]

Sage Matise what do you mean? He was the broadway phantom

[@hotepanthony3910]

He'll always be the phantom to me

[@djflakes4456]

For me he'll always be Valjean. Seeing him in Les Miz was one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced. This performance does no justice to what I saw. It was the only time I've ever seen a theater give someone a standing ovation during a performance

[@djflakes4456]

But, I also agree with you. Andrew Lloyd Weber hand picked him to play the phantom in "love never dies". So he's obviously Lloyd's favorite phantom

[@baggawells9527]

DJ Flakes - and Sir Andrew also chose Sierra Boggess as his fav Christine. Sierra and Ramin are absolute perfection together in anything they do. Also the very best of friends.

[@melissaburnett6297]

Michael Crawford will always be my Phantom but Karim is definitely close behind him off my favorite

[@RiceaRoni354]

I never had the amazing pleasure. Was blessed to see Michael Crawford and several others. Michael was the best but listening to rahim makes me wish I could see him

[@Rosannasfriend]

That ending was perfect. It was just what I needed. Colm Wilkinson has passed the torch.

[@paulbloom8847]

I love Ramin sooo much but Colm IS Valjean

[@daisyxhelena]

Apparently he saw Colm in phantom when he was young, and he knew he wanted to do phantom. So seeing him sing this and KNOWING Colm has passed the torch means lots to me bc I’m a Ramin Stan 😂 and also to him I’m sure

[@esteraulrich-oltean2162]

Colm literally did the Les Mis equivalent of passing the torch though because in the Toronto production Colm played the bishop for a gala production when Ramin was Valjean and Colm literally handed Ramin the candlesticks then they did a Bring Him Home duet at the end of the show

[@kristiinasbk1484]

That's amazing!

[@sarahwoolley79]

[@Rutabega_NG]

This is why Hugh Jackman was wrong for Jean Valjean. Not because he doesn't have the talent - he really does - but because he doesn't have the range to do this song justice. This...goosebumps, not even halfway through.

[@johnrain7308]

Why did they cast Hugh then?

[@Rutabega_NG]

Name recognition. I thought that was obvious. Like I said, he is quite talented, and I'd pay to see him in a show without a second thought; he just wasn't right for the vocal part.

[@miaglatter9419]

Not-Homesick NG John Rain Also, Jackman really really pushed for the movie to be made. Wouldn't have been made without him.

[@pudgeuncle]

Yes millions would have seen the movie with an unknown. Jackman sang it just fine, not the best and a lot better than a lot of actors I've seen both in NY and London. And Jackman's acting was perfection, something which cannot be said for the majority of actors who played this role on stage. Ramin Karimloo is perfection.

[@AlfredoLomeli13]

Hey guys, I love Ramin Karimloo's voice as much as everyone else but Hugh Jackman definitely killed it. I think he has the range for this song and much more. If you notice Hugh sings it full voice the whole time. Ramin goes for this headvoice/falsetto thing for the majority of the song( which is beautiful) but Hugh does it full without sounding like he's straining. And I agree with Nick, Hugh Jackman's acting is stellar!

[@mitchelltrio]

Seated, accompanied by a guitar, and delivering a jaw-dropping performance of this show stopper like it’s nothing…with a twinkle in his eyes. 🤯🤯🤯

[@dalewindeckerjr.3663]

The acoustic guitar works so well here! That accompanist is amazing honestly, not that Ramin isn't, but I think he deserves just as much appreciation. As for Ramin, obviously he sounds amazing. He has amazing technique and crazy good breath support. I am always impressed with his work.

[@Thisiskoko104]

I agree, it takes a beyond excellent musician to accompany a voice like Ramin's.

[@triin-beritkornel5063]

I don't know if there's anyone else who appreciates this, but I LOVE the little squeaks at the end of Ramin's long powerful notes. It's like he has so much power and emotion in there that the notes can't even convey all that. What an incredible musician. Brings tears to my eyes almost every time!

[@craiggibbons8228]

Agreed. The rise in pitch and inflection in his high notes show he can go even higher, but is showing amazing control to keep it all fluid. It's a true mark of an incredible singer.

[@juliadagnall5816]

I haven’t hear Ramin sing this role before, but I gotta say: the man understood the assignment. It’s not just about vocal power and being able to hit the high notes. Bring Him Home is a prayer, it should come from the heart.

[@eantnay]

Bravo! I saw him perform on Broadway last night and the ovation after "Bring Him Home" stopped the show. I've seen Les Mis seven times on Broadway through the years and with all due respect to Colm Wilkinson, Fred Inkley, J. Mark McVey, Tim Shew, Gary Moss and Alexander Gemignani, IMHO Ramin Karimloo's performance was simply the best ever!

[@singerAR0406]

The amount of goosebumps I get listening to him sing is incredible. His voice is a true gift from God.

[@gracemar100sworld7]

[@kc24jack]

on the whole i thought the entire cast was excellent, except eponine. She did well on her own song, On My Own, but her voice did not suit well with any of the others.

[@Butterflydoctor1]

It's a ridiculously hard song. I just finished playing Valjean at my college and song was by far the mod difficult. But it's so incredible to actually be on the stage singing it. The truth of the song only really hits home when you're performing it live. Ramin you're incredible!

[@tsunami770]

Ramin Karimloo nails it down perfect...

[@tomhenrik8187]

His "The summers die..." part is the greatest moment in the History of Musical Theatre

[@canyoubelievethis220]

Sick voice, for sure. And he's singing this "sitting down." That's very difficult to do, especially when you have all those high notes. He even takes the low notes of this song and makes them dramatic. Can't wait to see and hear more of him, for sure. Thanks for sharing!

[@draysongoldfinch1]

How has this video got dislikes? Are you mad? or deaf? That right there is pure mastery of his craft. Bravo Ramin, Bravo.

Most people get goosebumps when they hear an amazing singer. I get goosebumps just from the thought of him singing.

[@richardfederico1672]

So clean! When they perfect the cloning of DNA and the manufacture of human organs, I am having Ramin's vocal chords cloned and transplanted into my dysfunctional and disappointing voice box. I'm sure my insurance will cover the procedure because I am only asking for a very tiny part of human anatomy that can be grown in a small petri dish. It's not as if Im being greedy and asking for Ramin's whole body! I am prepared to sing "Bring Him Home" to the council in charge of deciding on such matters and I am more than confident they will grant me my wish before I even finish the song!
