Phantom: SING FOR ME Christine who's been singing for the past 4 minutes:👁️👄👁️

[@oliviabirch1025]

LMFAO exactly

[@rafaelcesarrony]

People said that Sierra had a cold when she sang this song and that´s why she breaths so loud sometimes. I have to say that those strong inhales made the music even more dramatic and more powerful somehow.

[@gabrieleperine2124]

She actually does those kind of breaths in all of her performances as far as I can tell. It definitely adds the the drama of it. I think it is intentional.

[@eviejennings3499]

CAP

[@lincolnfirmo8221]

It is intentionally a narrow breath like that because of the kind of microphones they are wearing, which is very sensitive and near the singer's mouth. If their breath is too wide it adds extra noise to the performance so they train it to be "quieter".

Sierra's vibrato makes the last notes soft and so beautiful!

[@Howlingburd19]

The role of Christine is so difficult and demanding. The amount of talent you need is unspeakable, and I think Sierra plays Christine the best O.o

[@blissinchains]

@@Howlingburd19 she’s one of the better modern ones, agreed. Amy Manford, Elena Bahtiyarova and Kelly Mathieson are also very good. Add Meghan Picerno. But my personal all time favourite is an oldie but a goodie. Look up Rebecca Caine. More opera, less pop. But you might like her alongside Sierra.

And she had a cold when this performance happened. I let that sink in often.

[@maggieaishalee3829]

@@blissinchains the octaves are pre recorded

[@VeilingSun]

Yeah I agree that it is probably pre-recorded. Even with mics and not having to stress and belt your voice like operas singers in the pre-modern age, hitting those notes night after night at that length is going to wreck a lot of people's voices. There are some clues on it being pre-recorded: It's the only segment in the video where Sierra isn't synced with what is being said, both at the beginning and at the end. The sound quality is also much clearer and less raspy.

Gerald maybe didn't have to be trained but Ramin has a better voice (that's just my opinion, anyway). But I love both of them as phantoms.

[@G82Jesse]

I love how from 2:40 and onwards, there is a guy in the background absolutely wailing on the electric guitar. The sound is balanced just right so it's not very overpowering at all... but 3:30 and on though he's absolutely SHREDDING IT up.

[@jamesewing5231]

[@alexp.d3689]

I'm in love with these two ... The BEST Phantom and Christine EVER ....! Their chemistry is unbelievable ... Ramin is so captivating and Sierra so captivated by him ,like the audience .... I love that in the high notes she uses vibrato ,I;ve heard versions where they go straight for the notes and it comes out as a bit flat ,but not her .She's simply perfect in every way

[@blissinchains]

Having said that, I wonder how he'd sound with the goddess that is Amy Manford.

[@Mimimimira]

Ramin is such a gentleman. He never actually has body touch with the actress of Christine except for that grasp of her hand... gosh I think I'm falling in love

[@Violalulu]

he had wife and children, yes, he's gentlemen

[@beautyandthelibrary1320]

Miranda Wong Yeah, love that too ;) But that's in general very essential for this role, since the Phantom doesn't really allow himself to touch her...Ok look how society abused him.

[@allysa189]

And he only grasped her hand because she was touching his mask.

[@cheetahinireland18]

Ramin has gotten more and more touchy as Phantom over the years. At least when he's with Sierra. Here it was just the hand touch and the near-stroking of her face. But at the Bway Anniversary, he was making actual contact and stroking her face a lot and I heard he did it when they were singing in Japan and doing this song together during 4 stars, that he was doing the same thing. I don't know how I feel about that transformation, tbh.

[@beybladekatie]

cheetahinireland18 I don't think it's bad if Sierra is ok w it. Plus it's acting. He likely doesn't have any other intentions other than habit or to play a character

Also, I saw a video where they showed the costume, and she is wearing a corsette!

Overall, it’s impossible to give any sort of negativity towards everyone who works on the stage, behind the stage, and behind the scenes.

[@bunnickthebunny4495]

Is it just me, or are his hands and his gestures the hottest things ever? His stage presence is just amazing!

[@AhsokaJackson]

I know! That’s one of my absolute favorite things about how he plays the role. And it really suits the character so well: Erik is a musician, mason, magician, mechanic/inventor, master pickpocket & thief, extremely skilled and lightning-fast killer, and also good at providing medical care as needed. What’s more, he also seems to have a soft spot for children and animals and shows the necessary gentleness and care with them. Tenderness, really! For all the power and violence he’s capable of, he can also be super delicate and restrained in his movements and has a lot of flair and elegance. In fact, besides the bits and pieces of this throughout, there was a specific passage in Susan Kay’s novel that talked about how mesmerizing and seductive his hands are in how he moves and employs them. There’s also supposed to be a general sense of rhythm and musicality in how he moves overall. I couldn’t help wondering if Ramin had actually read the book, because both his gestures and the general fluidity and smoothness he sometimes uses in moving around really suit the role of the Phantom so well! I sometimes think it looks like he’s constantly conducting the world around him and/or an unheard melody. :-p

[@lestatlouis47yui]

It was choreographed to be sensual. Facial expressions, hand gestures,everything, to exude both of Erik and Christine's sexuality. The Phantom is sexually and musically frustrated, thus these "needy" formations

The E6 was actually prerecorded by Sierra before this performance, you will notice how she turns her back briefly and then turns back, to cover that the E6 note is not live. Not that there's anything wrong with that; most Christines do the same, due to the huge strain of the E6 on the voice.

In sleep he sang to me In dreams he came That voice which calls to me And speaks my name And do I dream again? For now I find The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside my mind Sing once again with me Our strange duet My power over you Grows stronger yet And though you turn from me To glance behind The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your mind Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear I am the mask you wear It's me they hear Your/my spirit and your/my voice In one combined The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your/my mind He's there The Phantom of the Opera Beware The Phantom of the Opera In all your fantasies You always knew That man and mystery Were both in you And in this labyrinth Where night is blind The Phantom of the Opera is there Inside your/my mind Sing, my angel of music He's there, the Phantom of the Opera

[@habilaliyev956]

As soon as I saw this clip, I immediately fell in love. Fell in love with the song itself, with the singer. Ramin is also on top, but Sierra, with her divine appearance and angelic voice, drove me crazy. The orchestra plays just amazing. I downloaded this video and watched it more than fifty times a day

[@kierradockery4958]

At the end when he virtually screamed sing for me and practically demanded it I near fainted from chills, he's beautiful!

[@tiffaneythomas9685]

I agree. Very few phantoms have the power to that. Check out the video with Nicole from the pussycat dolls sing the title song.

[@clamperouge1]

He really brings to the character the repressed anger, hate and self-loathing few others bother to. Too many actors romanticize the character. Ramin portrays the tortured, insane psychopath the story calls for.

[@KeybladeMasterMind]

Dang….These two!! Oh my gosh! They both have such insanely good voices for one thing. Sierra’s high notes always shock me as well as impress me. They’re so beautiful and powerful! Then Ramin just sings with his whole being. His voice, his body movements, his emotion…The man just becomes the Phantom of the Opera! And together they sound SO incredible!!

Ramins singing is so seducing and so scaring at the same time. Best Phantom without a doubt. Sierras voice is like an angel. So pure and magical. Thanks Andrew Lloyd Webber for choosing this two to originate Phantom and Christine in Love Never Dies and for the 25th anniversary (The DVD recorded performance) no Phantom and Christine pair could ever be better than them. They have srt the bar so high

[@jdsim9173]

[@lostinthedreaming6_336]

I'm sorry but no. he is over acting, and over singing. He's no phantom. not like Crawford who embodies the role. I like her though. she does Christine nicely.

[@queenmercury6459]

[@ohk8855]

People commenting about sierras breathing please remember shes got a very magnifying microphone on and shes a very dramatic soprano which means she uses a lot of power in each line which is probably why she breathes so much! It might also be the technique she learnt when being trained in opera :) I don't think it's that bad personally and she sings this song hauntingly

Tanvi Says Is the singing the song hauntingly bad or good? Not that I'm criticising or anything. I just want to understand the nature of the comment.

+Josh Edwards it's good, if you listen to the lyrics it is meant to be sung in a hauntingly way.
