@@cyprianuslilikk.p.7937 Yes, I understand that very well. There is a big difference between incorporating one number extracted from the musical into your set, and performing the entire musical on stage, live. I just wanted to make a clumsy joke somewhat relevant to the particular number seen in this clip. Anyway, thanks for setting me straight, Lilik. I love to see that people still care about whole works instead of all not that cherry-picking Four Tenors 'highlights' crap. Musicals are not operas, but I'm sure you get my point.

[@angryasfuck6662]

KaiM F I am totally with you with the the Emma Watson thing. that movie was just horrible in general. and yes, Gerad Butler did do a pretty good job acting, but the phantom is simply not the phantom if he can't sing. you can feel him struggling to try and put his best efforts onto acting out the part as well as sing. And anyway, even without Ger, that movie was still a mess, in my opinion. it had a lot of potential but they in completely destroyed it. but back to the singing, they should have just had professional signers dub the actors and let them focus on what they are actualy good at: acting!

[@KaMafo28]

@@angryasfuck6662 I have a soft spot for the movie because it was the movie that introduced me to my love of musicals. The only strong singer in the movie was Emmy Rossum and I think it would have been way better for an actual singer to have come in to help. Especially since most of the songs aren't simple and are very much hard vocals. I don't know why some people get so mad when actual singers come in and they just dub it over. Some actors can't sing and some singers can't act.

[@matthewkim8158]

If you are part of the "musical" world you know who those Phantoms are. They are big, big, big, big musical theatre performers. Nicole is a trained vocalist, the vocals she performs on her own material is more of a pop sounding vocal, but she can sing different genres, she's actually quite talented, completely underrated as a solo artists. I'm glad Andrew Lloyd Webber saw this in her. She is one of his favorite pop-artists today. But if you want another example of someone like this, look up Charlotte Church, all she did was opera styled music, and then she went commercial/secular and did a pop album, vocals are a complete 180.

[@tinachannita193]

Felicha Amanda I don't know, I just know I love his voice

[@tristanhnl]

That's what a supported voice "on the breath" is supposed to sound like- relaxed, free, and with a spinning quality. Tenor #3 is the exact opposite. Numbers 1 and 2 are okay, but can improve to the quality of #4.

[@tristanhnl]

Fach is not always clear-cut, as some tenors have low, rumbly chest notes, and some baritones have good extension above the staff. However, the timbre of Carpenter's voice around and above the passagio demonstrates an affinity to sing tenor roles for musical theatre. As for "power" in #1's singing, that is quite irrelevant, IMO. They sing with amplification, unlike in opera which is unamplified and relies on the singers' natural abilities to project. True, musical theatre puts less emphasis on technique, simply because the vocal talent required of musical theater performers is less than that of opera (a LOT less in most cases). Yet, the topic of the original post was that of a technical nature, that's why I analysed the singers on those merits. Note, I didn't say the singers *should* improve to the level of #4, but *can*. As far as technical mastery goes, Carpenter is indeed ahead of the pack.

I had no idea that Nicole could 1. Sing classically, and 2. Could hit notes that high.

[@kevinmoore2929]

I remember reading an article about this way back. From what I can recall, she had to work very hard as she's not classically trained. While it was easier because she has that natural talent, not everyone can sing opera.... Especially with these four surrounding her.

[@evechewietan]

Hello, Nicole is classically trained but she chose to go pop maybe there’s more money

[@ericparis224]

Pussy Cat Dolls formed becasue her rock music was "not marketable"

[@e.m.lumesound1070]

@@evechewietan Yeah I think it was a smart career choice - not just for the money but the opportunities that a high profile career will bring. Pop sells and that means publicity. She has many lesser known but no-less impressive talents too. I think above all, she has made very wise choices with regards to her career and now she gets to enjoy the fruits and explore other genres.
