[@gumeserrano2269]

Eso dijo lilith... que Raúl es el fantasma de la ópera

[@easonpun7747]

Yes. Probably because the phantom and raoul were too dramatic. But i kind of feel the Christine track was much edited? I'm a counter tenor so i think this is not too natural.

[@gogumadalpaengi]

The only reason why Nick Pitera doesn't have his own, one man phantom show is probably because changing costumes that quick, back and forth, is kind of impossible.

[@lilith7247]

Jesus! How the hell can someone nail all those vocals so proficiently, where the genuine actors were struggling? As a vocalist with a fairly wide range, I am awestruck.

[@auroraborealissings2084]

Although I'm genuinely awestruck by this guy's range, I would say the only actor that really struggled with their specific part in some places was the actor who played Raoul. I personally didn't like the acting for Raoul in the 2004 at all, he made the character out to be very shallow and it didn't feel like he really cared for her at all. But I think he occasionally struggled with some of his notes as well. That being said, Emmy Rossum did the most fantastic job possible as Christine. She was 16 years old at the time and still nailed every single note. And the actor for Phantom did an incredible job as well, although it's possible that some of his higher notes he might've struggled on, but he plays an excellent higher bass range and his acting is absolutely stunning.

[@croissant1949]

AuroraBorealisSings S-She was SIXTEEN??!!

[@chloej.7327]

@@croissant1949 Yes, she most definitely was. She was 16 when she was cast, and probably between 16-17 while filming, and she was 18 when it was released. She's the reason I sing today and I can do most of the notes because of it (those last two in "Phantom of the Opera" being the obvious struggle 😅). I knew as a kid how young she was and it's why it was easy to look up to her. She blew me away. Not to mention Gerard Butler, but that's another story entirely.

+Madison Johnson I went to the 25th event when they played it in theaters. I've seen the stage show 2 times (Once in Detroit and once in Chicago). The show in Chicago was part of the new staging, which I absolutely loved. It is coming to back to MI in May, and I will be seeing it probably more than once. I was not a fan of the movie at all. Butler is good for the acting part of the Phantom, but his voice just was not a good fit. My favorite two will still always be Michael and Sarah. But Ramin and Sierra are definitely 2nd.

Nick, I have to personally thank you. This video in particular got me to practice singing, and my voice has improved SO MUCH. I would sing along to all of your videos in the pitches you do, and over time, I was able to hit all of the notes in Music of the Night! I finally felt I was practiced enough to audition for singing parts, and I managed to sing in front of my whole school! Now, with my latest audition, I get to sing the National Anthem at my high school's graduation! If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am! Thank you so much! 2021 Update: This original post is from 5 years ago… it’s weird to read something I wrote in high school. I still have to thank you, though-that much hasn’t changed since then! I used to listen to this on repeat just to learn how you sung every part, and would practice in the shower just to sound as good as you did. The household I lived in prohibited me singing in the house, so I found refuge in singing to this cover when no one was home. I still sing phantom of the opera, and even now I find influences from your style in the way I sing it. I’m now getting gigs as an opera singer, and I perform for people every week at karaoke! I’m not afraid to sing anymore, and it’s taken me years to finally say that. I also couldn’t hit the high note in Phantom of the Opera when I first listened to this, but as of yesterday, I finally hit the note, and impressed a crowd doing it! If I hadn’t found your channel, this video, this cover… I wouldn’t have become the singer I am today. Thank you. Genuinely.

I wouldn't have guessed that a man could sing Christine's songs so well - impressing! I really loved the parts when you sang Raoul or the Phantom. Your voice is very beautiful! ❤

[@natalijatheghost]

I'm a girl and I can't even sing her parts, if a guy can do it, it's impressive asf

[@MTurtleShell]

Wow! The last segment: Past the Point of No Return ... blew me away!! What an incredible presentation. BRAVO!

[@pixeladams123]

showed this to my mom my mom look at the title and shes like "cool"and when he started singing, she stopped the video, and took it to my dad, and she was like " bill. listen." and they both sat there listening to it xD

[@Sianothis]

"bill.listen" lololol

[@beatrizmicaelo8163]

The climax of the 3 voices at the end , does something to my brain, the original film and Broadway always get me on this scene but something about the 3 voices coming from the same person just makes it incredible Nick Pitera, if you ever read this, you're exquisite

[@tACoKiD321]

The change from Christine to Raoul threw me off so much. This is awesome.

ITS AMAZING 🖤

[@randyporter3491]

UN-BE-LIEVABLE !!! - As longtime Phantom lovers, my wife and I were truly moved by this performance. Your portrayal of the Phantom is better than many we've seen on stage. All three parts were spot on and a masterpiece in video presentation. Thank you for sharing, we are permanent fans !

[@unamcg.4812]

I'm a soprano 1 and Nick has a higher range than I will ever dream of having.

[@omegafrench2120]

SAME!

[@signergirl1]

if only I had a voice as beautiful and high as his

[@ohantonia]

He is only doing a female alto, its not really that high at all. But it is quite impressive for a masculine range. You might have been placed improperly if you are in chorus, I was when I was in it. If the teacher barely grasps their job and places you in the wrong place you might not even realize it unless you take something like AP Music Theory, or just take some time to study music in general. It's worth it in the long run if you study some, if you are really interested you should study it. I had lots of fun. :)

[@signergirl1]

+Alice Faircloth I'm thinking of getting vocal lessons so I can strengthen my voice and be able to talk like a real commanding woman instead of a timid child. I also wanna be able to sing a tune on key and in range

[@unamcg.4812]

+Alice Faircloth I actually took music theory once, and I agree it was great! I've been immersed in music since I was six and I picked up the violin. My chorus directly majored in choral studies and directing, so hopefully he didn't place me wrong, but it might have happened since he did it maybe two years ago. I just meant that Christine part. Like, wow. I wish I had that control. I might be able to hit that, but at a major volume and after a whole lot of trying.

[@bekkalitzner7227]

Down once more is a gorgeous song which is the end song I love it so much

[@PrincessofEllabur]

even though it could have ended up in Raoul dying-he's has the rope around his neck-I seen the show at least twice now

[@TempBananaGaming]

Its even crazier doing it (its 50 pages long)

[@deniaabiles4316]

I don't normally write in caps lock BUT THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE PHANTOM ALL OVER AGAIN. Thank you very much for sharing this gift of yours to us all and doing an amazing job!

Omg he sounds just like the phantom😱💞

I love that he actually sounds like a girl when the girl parts. His voice isn't even falsetto. He is so perfect I just can't even

Dude, I'm a girl and I can't even sing that high

8:33 I’m shaking. The way the three voices overlap is completely perfect. Well done, sir, you are a musical genius.

[@cm_0011]

If there is any kind of music that could accentuate how amazing your range is, it's singing Christine in Phantom of the Opera. So amazing!!!!
