Phantom of the Opera (METAL VERSION) ~ Jonathan Young cover ft. Malinda Kathleen Reese

[@davecullins1606]

It's not so weird that opera and metal work together, when you think about it. They're both loud and bombastic and kinda extreme.

[@FuraFaolox]

Fun fact: Opera is one of the biggest influences of metal. The two have a lot of similarities.

[@RustyShackleford101]

Fun fact: they actually had to change the design of the mask from the one in the poster because it kept muffling the lead actors mouth and nobody could understand him in rehearsals.

[@Dermacrosis]

Likely because in the original novel Eric wore a full face mask, going by the description. Not exactly practical for singing. At the time the make up needed for what Eric was described as looking like in the book would not have been possible to do on the stage. This means you have two factors against the full face mask.

I really liked Malinda's agonized expression when she hit that final high note. It sold the idea that the Phantom was actually _wringing_ it out of Christine against her will. Seriously dark. I love it.

[@Dauntless-ut4mm]

Great takeaway! I love seeing people analyze the subtle messages in expression with stuff like this. Singing is so much more then hitting the notes and I agree, these two did a great job of bringing the emotion across as well. :-)

Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all. Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul. You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call. Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait. Don't you stray, don't fade away. Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may. Don't you stray, from the narrow way. I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there. You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare. You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air.

William Harmon Although this is pretty cool, his voice is horrible for the phantom. The Phantom is a very kind-voiced Tenor. This guy has a very harsh baritone range. On that higher note, he went full falsetto. Not saying I don't like this, I do, but he does not have a good voice for the Phantom at all

[@FlamingGuitar14]

There was something about this performance that makes it easily more enjoyable than others like Nightwish's version. The instrumentation and Malinda's voice definitely comes to mind. Malinda's voice extremely clean and she clearly has been trained, you can't belt like that at the end without some kind of vocal training. The voices also resonate extremely well. Something about Nightwish's version doesn't pack that same punch to me for some reason. Not to disrespect their music and their abilities as musicians. Taste also does play a part in this as well. So that might also be a factor.

[@philippaprice2905]

Malinda is just amazing in general tbh

[@Kreliho]

Agree on all accounts! Perfect duet and cover.

[@FlamingGuitar14]

I guess most of what I'm trying to say is that this one wins over Nightwish's version because Nightwish did a sloppy poor man's version of the song. If they slowed it down and actually went to the same tempo as well as gave it trained voices like the singers who originally sang it per example, then maybe I could see them being better but this one triumphed because it was technically and rhythmically accurate, and it had a lot more of a chilling feel than Nightwish's because what they had created was just a tryhard power metal version and making it simply something that it wasn't.

[@anselme198]

I agree that this version is more accurate and elaborate than Nighwish's version, but something in Tarja and Marco singing gives much power to the song, in my opinion, the strength of the Nightwish's version is mostly their ability to play it on live, where is never fails to give me goosebumps.

[@MrEzuli]

This is most likely down to taste, but IMO nightwish did it better. But thats mostly because I absolutly adore marcos voice. So sinistee without overdoing. And Tarjas voice is powerful enough, that they dont drown eachothers out. But opinions are opinions, this version is really good too! (Differences might be just stylechoises, but thats kinda of a mootpoint)

[@coffeeallen6166]

His Spirit and Her voice*

[@Marialla.]

My theory is that the Opera Ghost really is a phantom of Christine's mind. She was schizophrenic, and he was the voice in her head telling her what to do, possibly including killing her rivals. Somehow that story makes more sense to me than having an actual man in a mask who lives behind a mirror (a MIRROR!) and has an underground boat. Plus it explains why Raoul didn't want to kill the Phantom when he met him. If he saw it was Christine actually acting as a madwoman, behaving as the Opera Ghost, he might have pity for her because he had loved her.

Did anyone else get goosebumps at 2:36? Lol. I love the phantom of the opera and you two definitely did it justice in an awesome way. EDIT!!!!!!! Would totally buy the album if you did the entire soundtrack in a metal style. Easily one of my favorite broadway soundtracks.
