Peter Karrie, Michael Crawford, David Gains, Gary Mauer and Josh Piterman ❤️❤️❤️

[@ingridmay66]

Why isn't Gerard Butler on the list? He is also a Phantom!!! What the hell? 🤬

[@PrismsofGlass]

@@ingridmay66 This is only for stage productions. Also, like the 25th anniversary, using footage from the 2004 film is likely to get my video blocked.

[@ingridmay66]

@@PrismsofGlass Thanks for the answer. I thought you don't like the movie version and the 25th anniversary.😆

[@PrismsofGlass]

@@ingridmay66 I don't, but I also don't like several of the Phantoms on this list, but they're included out of fairness. Anyway, my description always gives the reason why I can't include footage from the 25th anniversary.

[@stacypletcher4166]

All of these are simply amazing, but if I had to choose ONE it would have be Crawford. Sadly I didn't have a chance to see him live...but I've seen both Cudia and Barbour live...and they both were amazing.

michael crawfords freaking heartbreaking and beautiful

[@mickenziedavis3068]

1:07:26 Whoa. Okay, that sounded really painful.

[@deedragongirl]

He sounds like he’s having a severe toothache!

[@michellekeeling3392]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@michellekeeling3392]

A few Phantoms scared of heights in there, big respect to those who fully stood up on the Angel at the end of the sequence as the Angel was flown out ✊ Ben Lewis’ pitch is absolutely perfect and his Phantom is just heartbreaking 💔 Absolutely perfect.

[@madamemaximoff9838]

1:11:25 something about his voice is just so nice and so smooth 😍

[@xxKakarot]

Thank you so much, it must have taken you such a long time to compile all these videos!! This is one of my favorite parts and I just love seeing all the different approaches to it 😊 Ramin still remains one of my favorites, his "no" just sounds so gutwrenching... JOJ and Geronimo are also really amazing

[@RebeccaTurner-kf8gx]

I love these phantom videos so interesting seeing different takes of one line

[@AtMyHappyPlace]

Thank you for taking your time to put this together - can’t wait to spend 3 hours listening to this today, although my family will think I’m nuts - non Phantom Phans don’t get it 😉

[@fcmobile0605]

Exactly! spent 3 hours listening to this and then my mom says"what a time wasting thing to do"💀

[@deedragongirl]

FUN FACT: Zoltan Miller (Hungarian Phantom) and Peter Joback (Swedish Phantom) both voiced Aladdin in their respective native language!! Secondly, is Rob Pitcher related to Rebecca Pitcher??

[@PrismsofGlass]

For your second question: yes, they are siblings.

[@user-SHERLOCK1007]

[@bigjedimullet]

27:02 my favorite Phantom, his voice is beautiful!

[@darkestwhite6500]

Saulo y Juan, maravillosos ♡ Un honor tener un cast en México tan preparado.

[@NekoNerak]

Barona es del cast Español, que no? Hasta la letra es diferente. Y Saulo también interpreta en su natal Brasil en 2007. Tambien en Argentina estuvo Carlos Vittori. Creo que no aparece en esta lista, pero vale la pena escucharlo también.

[@sademakeseditz]

OMG SAME PFP I THOUGHT I LEARNED A NEW LANGUAGE LOL

[@beethockmtee8565]

Anthony Warlow absolutely blows everybody else out of the water in this section. The best Phantom there has EVER been.

[@deedragongirl]

Please do one on "You Have Come Here" from the Point of No Return!

[@devanmoran]

rip kevin gray that was beautiful

[@natekrieger5741]

Mike Crawford’s is SO HEARTBREAKING!!!!!!!

[@Sarah-zr1nj]

The way he sighs “no…” when they start singing kills me 💔

[@madamemaximoff9838]

Could you do a comparison of the phantom sings “ Down once more into darkness deep as hell! “?

[@baileyspurr908]

Ooh yes please!!!

[@jennyjpbr]

Meus favoritos na ordem em que aparecem no vídeo: Dave Willetts, Michael Crawford, Kevin Gray, Dale Tracy, Thomas James O'Leary, Davis Gaines, Franc D'Ambrosio, Peter Karrie, Ian Jon Bourg, Brad Little, Hugh Panaro. Adoro todos eles.

[@Sarah-zr1nj]

1:44:09 - Howard McGillin was my first Broadway Phantom; out of the four actors I’ve actually seen live, he’s still my favorite.

[@zlch4021]

That og one is so good and yet uncanny

[@natekrieger5741]

Super excited!! Thx much!!

[@mcs-bl6sg]

I've noticed that generally speaking, London Phantoms have more of a soulful singing voice whereas Broadway Phantoms are more traditional/operatic sounding.

[@kendraressler4497]

Here are some that stood out to me: 10. Uwe Kroger (1:34:22) 9. Anthony Crivello (1:45:58) 8. Ivan Ozhogin (2:28:09) 7. Fred Silveira (2:54:49) 6. Josh Piterman (2:56:44) 5. Ben Lewis (2:40:08) 4. Michael Crawford (4:14) 3. Masachika Ichimura (2:07) 2. Stephen R. Buntrock (1:24:52) 1. Ramin Karimloo (1:49:45) Honorable Mentions Ernst-Dieter Suttheimer (9:15) Ethan Freeman (31:02) Saulo Vasconcelos (50:04) John Owen-Jones (1:21:09) John Cudia (1:36:50) Anthony Warlow (1:51:49) Jonathan Roxmouth (2:51:14)

[@stone1488]

The way Ben Crawford sang it sounds so good!

[@sademakeseditz]

just a question why didn't you use 25th anniversary for Ramin? Edit:uhm so I just read the description😭

[@user-dy2zy8rd2t]

#1)Michael Crawford.That's it.There is no other.

[@ldpadventures833]

2:49:08 why does he say christene

[@alanshore17]

Of course i love the usuals-MC, Howard, John Cudia, Brad, Gary, Davis Gaines….but i also would like to call attention to someone who takes a lot of flak for his Phantom, Jason Mills, and remind everyone that he was pretty freaking good most nights, and he was much better than his replacement, Richard Todd Adams, esp here…lastly, that John Cudia clip is my absolute favorite yell before he drills the “You will curse the day you did not do….he goes from such a high pitch smoothly down to his lower range and it just works-1:38:15…also Howard’s movement of his head with his very heavy vibrato cracks me up, but i don’t care bc i love his Erik so much lol!

[@marukrosemarysanz4633]

So many different and great interpreters and people still put Ramin as the best phantom 🙁

[@danielamarioni4890]

People love Michael Crawford and his... questionable singing yet still put him as one of the best. At least Ramin sings so I kind of get it.

[@1SpicyMeataball]

@danielamarioni4890 Please. Everything great about Ramin is directly taken from JOJ. People just like him because they think he's hot, which defeats the purpose of the phantom's character.

Unfortunately not. Would love to see him perform as Phantom again.

[@laurenvolk05]

Not me crying-

[@Mario-R-3232]

Michael Crawford and Dave Willetts sound very similar and I think they are the two best. Peter Karrie, John Owen Jones, Ramin Karimloo and Colm Wilkinson come next for me.

[@mariejusto423]

🥰🥰🥰

[@WhiskeyDtheGecko]

Ramin has the best voice obviously, but JOJ kills it with his emotion, he makes me cry 😭❤️
