Do you want to see Phantoms having their heart broken over and over again? Then this comparison is for you haha! Anyway this is a comparison video I made where the Phantom sings, "You alone can make my song take flight. It's over now the music of the night!" I know there's a comparison video like this in KZbin already but I just wanted to make my own. Plus, it's kind of (?) updated now hehe. BY THE WAY some clips are incomplete *sobs* I'm really sorry about that.
If your Phantom is not here, then I'm sorry. He might not have an audio or video available in KZbin (yes I got all of the clips in this site)
I don't own anything. All rights go to the respectful owners

This line is admittedly my favorite part of the musical. Other than “Music of the Night” my favorite song, it’s my absolute favorite ending. Just the buildup to the note, the emotion in every syllable, the instruments in the background (as a musician, to me it always makes me lose my mind and dream), and the acting. It’s most certainly a grand finale, worthy of this amazing musical. Thank you for making this video, for introducing such talent.

My main problem with Gerard Butler is the fact that he probably had numerous takes to try and get that note. He will also have his vocals smoothed over to ensure it was film worthy. Like props to him for actually singing. But he cannot even begin to be compared to people like Ramin and Colm and JOJ, because he simply would not be in their league if they had a 'sing off'. For me Ramin is my favourite due to the emotional aspect of his performance

I've seen the Phantom with more than 30 performers. I see it every single year from 1987 till 2024 in London and I've also seen it in Broadway and Canada and some European tours. If I had to choose 6 favorite phantoms those would be: Dave Willets, Michael Crawford, Peter Karrie, John Owen Jones, Ramin Karimloo and Colm Wilkinson. But I need to tell you that I have never, not ever, seen audience reactions warmer and more enthusiastic as in the performances of Michael Crawford and Dave Willets (who was the second Phantom after Michael Crawford).

For someone that saw the original in London back in 1987, and has seen several in London, New York, DC, Miami and San Francisco since, no one has ever come close to Michael Crawford. He basically created the role, and everyone else followed his lead. Yes, they incorporated their own individual styles to the music and movements, but the emotion one hears within the lyrics combined with Lloyd Webber's score are essential to what the Phantom is trying to convey. The Phantom is often heard being the scenes, and when he is on stage his voice must match his presence. Crawford's singing style is soft and tender, yet menacing. He uses hypnotically melodious tones that seamlessly capture the Phantom's pain and longing for Christine, and anger for the world for having to hide. Michael Crawford not only understood that, but brought it alive on stage every single night.

They're all amazing, IMO. I don't care much for 'so and so is the best' or 'Crawford is the best because he was the first.' I know people are going to have their biases, but for me, there's no one 'best' Phantom. They're all amazing. I feel the same way about Judas and Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar (except I'm not a big fan of Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson), there's no one 'best'. Being the first to play a role doesn't automatically make you the best (as my fellow Whovians will tell you, although Hartnell is just one of the many incredible actors to play The Doctor). Yes, there's the whole legacy thing, but at the end of the day, it's best to just enjoy every Phantom equally.

That’s how I feel about most of his songs in the movie. For someone who’s never really sung before, he wasn’t all that bad... until he starts using his “THIS IS SPARTA” voice.

Going back to this vid and just decided to make my top ten just cuz! (This is likely not completely accurate to who my fave Phantoms are in general, just more so for this ending line, though for the most part I think my fave Phantoms are pretty much these people too) 1. Ramin Karimloo (the 25th anniv version at least) 2. John Owen Jones 3. Michael Crawford 4. Peter Karrie 5. Norm Lewis 6. Hugh Panaro 7. Jonathan Roxmouth 8. Eiji Akutagawa 9. Gary Mauer 10. Gerard Butler

Ooh I really like Dave, Eiji? and Mikael. Phantom is just a character that needs that deep, hollow, booming voice. Cris was pretty good, too. Some just dragged it out way too long. Holy crap Henk's voice was absolutely perfect, I wish I could see the whole play in english. *left off on **17:12**, so I can make sure I find where I left off*
