[@MaryLeguera]

[@KrisChalmain]

Yep!

[@justawl]

i thought i'm the only turns out everyones who had watched the 25th anniversary get addicted to him and Sierra Boggess😂

[@MrsScott-bx8sb]

Same, but I've been living under a rock for many years. I was really impressed with his interpretation of The Phantom.

[@Aylisxx]

Anyone else notice his phantom habits sneak back out? Like his hand gestures and they way he holds his fingers

[@brandtfan12]

It's adorable :)

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

Well it was still 2012 when he was doing LND and POTO

[@contr4dixion]

It's like he has Christine standing in front of him...

[@coolbae1998]

Yesss

[@sjp9920]

JC Xion I read that as “it’s like he’s strangling her again”

[@AnskuuBanskuu]

The biggest fangirl aww when he said: "I had a great time... playing the ugly boy. And continuing to do so."

[@miaxxhallowell4733]

I love how the beginning of the song he tries to do it his own way but eventually he gets back in the mood of the phantom and I just love it how he gets in character I love him in general best phantom. I would to anything to see him and Sierra be back in the show again my life would be complete

[@angelinemae6564]

Okay, my darker side just gave in.

[@artisticfoxva]

2:43 Ramin: “to... BEEEEEEEEEEE!” Audience: *cheering loud* Ramin:*continues singing* Audience: *Immediately shuts up* His beautiful voice can control a whole friggin’ audience😍😍😍

[@s3dh3k]

Even without a mask, Ramin is captivating. He becomes the Phantom.

[@rainfully]

Ya know... I've heard this song hundreds and hundreds of time in my life. Crawford, Butler, countless times seeing it on stage, various others... but GOOD SWEET LORD JESUS THIS MAN..... Its so good I can't even watch the whole thing in one sitting... its like a cake that is so damn rich you can only take it in small doses. I.... I can't.

[@AhsokaJackson]

Oh my goodness, you just described it so perfectly! I actually kept saying “Stop!” throughout the video because he kept doing all these little things that just made the performance that much better, and it felt like entirely too much to deal with! I was grinning like mad throughout, though, in between the protesting! 😁 And afterwards I was so caught up in emotion that I started tearing up. Man!

[@amarawoolery8404]

You just described this perfectly. I genuinely have to pause the video about halfway through every time to take a breather lol

[@neeltjebooysen2688]

Life is not fair .that such a handsome man can sing like that. One of my favourite songs.

[@carolineschmid6887]

At the beginning when he turned away and blushed after saying “I’m going to sing with you, or for you” my heart melted. It’s so fricking adorable! I love Ramin so much😊

[@이유진-t3w]

Seriously, he's got the prettiest eyes. Such a beautiful human being

[@ffeff8353]

I know, right? Those liquid, soulful eyes... and the thick velvety lashes... just beautiful.

[@gos9030]

[@andreamenosa6609]

Ramin: (sings) Me: (watching while pouring a cup of tea and scalding my hand.) Ramin: (still singing) Me: meh, it's just a burn (goes back to watching)

[@floraspring6659]

Love this version of Ramin's music of the night the most, coz of the soft part of the song was just perfectly nailed! So soft, tender and gentle that his other versions don't always sing the same.

[@aryakagi6635]

Awww my heart melted when he smiled during "and wakes imagination"...........

[@xkaili]

I KNOW RIGHT! OMG I totally feel you.. now it's like for every other phantom that I see who's not Ramin I'm cringing and like ... ngehhhh that doesn't sound quite right.. this one's too low, that one's too high... His voice just goes so well with that character and it goes so well with Sierra's too.

[@indigodragon0613]

xkaili It's not even fair. We had the phantom touring company come to our city and I was like, "Are Ramin and Sierra in it? No? Then no thank you." My standards have been set by the two of them, and pretty much no one except them can meet those standards. Lol.

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

[@sassystrawberry6078]

It just sounds off when other sings it. Like "that's not *it*"

I IDENTIFY WITH THIS COMMENT MORE THAN ANYTHING HELLO FROM 11 YEARS IN THE FUTURE

[@sandymilenko]

I love how he can transmite the sensations and fellings,when I hear him have thrills,chills and goosebumps,and can feel the tenderness in this beautifull voice❤

[@jusdepomme98]

Can he just sing this song to me every night before I go to bed? Ok.

[@sjp9920]

Literally what I’m doing rn. In 7th grade I literally would listen to it on repeat as a lullaby. Always worked

[@keizelcestona7155]

i want that too

[@sarahsebers3794]

Who's cutting onions in here?! GOSH RAMIN

[@Luna-lk4kn]

He is perfection, omg that voice.

[@oun2245]

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defenses Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender Turn your face away from the garish light of day Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light And listen to the music of the night Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar And you live as you've never lived before Softly, deftly, music shall caress you hear it, feel it, secretly possess you Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind In this darkness that you know you cannot fight The darkness of the music of the night Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before Let your soul take you where you long to be Only then can you belong to me Floating, falling, sweet intoxication Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in To the power of the music that I write The power of the music of the night You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the night

Oh dear God he still takes my breath away singing this

[@ndog2005]

Whew, That voice, Ramin, All so Gorgeous..........................

[@hannahrosereviews5073]

MORE THAN the best Phantom!

[@robinlabouche2230]

Nope Michael Crawford was the best Phantom

[@indigodragon0613]

Robin LaBouche Michael was the original phantom. That doesn't automatically make him the best. In my opinion, Ramins voice is healthier sounding and has a darker feel to it. Ramin also doesn't use massive gestures. Instead, he uses very natural inflections and movements to portray Eric as a poor soul who never learned how to love or communicate properly with people.

[@vittoriahawksworth8117]

They are very different.

[@silverfalconcosplay]

I want this man to sing me to sleep every night so he can play super loudly on his underground piano

[@AhsokaJackson]

Good flipping Lord!! He just got so intensely into the song and into character, and really performing the song with his hands and entire body. And then those little facial expressions all throughout, like that heart-stabbing smile at about 1:14, as he was singing “and wakes imagination” (and Goddarn it, he sang that line so nicely!). And then on top of that, his vocal performace here is so especially beautiful and immersive and seductive. You know, there was another performance I saw a video of-another one where he performed the song even more amazingly and intensely than usual. (Yes, I also have other descriptors I could use, teehee...). And I was going to note how he usually seems to hold back a bit more as he performs this song, and my semi-joking explanation was that he knew going all-in was too much for us to handle. XD After watching this, I’m increasingly convinced that this really _is_ the reason! I actually found myself saying “Stop it!” at the screen several times during the performance, because all those elements combined together were just...whew! Guy’s gonna give me a heart attack. Also...I can’t help but get the impression here that he knew exactly what reaction he would get by not holding back, and that he found it rather amusing. He seems to be having a great deal of fun during this performance. Especially if the smiles are any indication! I sometimes get self-conscious and worry about sounding too gushy or giggly, but if ever there was a time for it...! This was just too perfect! ^^ Definitely one of my absolute favorite performances of his, both in terms of this specific song and in terms of his performances that I’ve seen in general. WOW!

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

I agree with every single point u made EVERY SINGLE ONE Especially when u said that he knows what reaction he is gonna get cuz i always thought that. In some other performances when he is singing and holds a note for long or hits a high notes he kinda turns his face side way and raises a brow when the audience starts scream and u can see he has a cheeky grin on his face And is just too adorable

[@emsj8854]

What's the other video that you talk about?

[@Themanwhocameback2]

You need to get laid, babe

[@eunice96yanlin]

I agree with you that he knows what this song do to the audience. I remember I saw a video ( I think it's this song) and the audience sigh and he smile..... But I can't find it anymore

[@TimeandMonotony]

I was lucky enough to Ramin as phantom and Jean Valjean in les miserables I was totally enthralled told everyone about him and then took my daughter to see him at symphony hall Birmingham she understood why I liked his singing so much. I'd love to meet him love your singing thank you for such great memories

[@CB-kj5ze]

Hi I don't know if this is weird but I have noticed that you seem to comment on every Ramin video. Are you like a really big fan? I only found out about Ramin recently from his part in Holby, but I LOVE him! How did I live without him? Have you ever seen him live? Or have you ever met him? If you have please tell me he was as nice as he seems in all his videos...🤞

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

@@CB-kj5ze hello ! :) Yeah im a really big fan of his and i absolutely love his music. Discovered a year ago or so through phantom. And yeah lol i comment in almost every video of his 😂. Oh yeah i love him in Holby aswell. And no. Unfortunately i havent had the good fortune to see him live or meet him 😭tho i really wish to. But people who have say that he is super nice and a real gent. I wish i can meet him one day but i dont even live in UK so that seems impossible. Anyways. Nice to meet a new fan!! Do u like him in POTO and LND? What about Sierra?

[@CB-kj5ze]

@@NOONE-cd4gu his music is soooo good! I have been watching holby for years and he is really good in it, tho it is is a shame he doesn't sing. It would be so cool if he just suddenly broke out into song like it was a musical! 😂 I wish to see him live as well some day. I was really annoyed because I found out about his UK From Now On tour (I live in the UK) and decided to look up the dates. I found one on a town 10 minutes away from me, but he had played there the night before! I was so annoyed! 🤦‍♀️😂 and yes, I love him in POTO. I have the DVD of the 25th anniversary and he is sooo good in it! And I haven't seen him in love never dies, but I've seen videos of him in it on KZbin and he sings Till I hear you sing soooo good! Do you know if there is a dvd I can get of him as phantom in LND? Oh and I've only seen a couple of clips as I cant find many on KZbin, but he seems so good as Jean Valjean. I wish I could have seen him in Les Mis. 😞 Oh and yes, I love Sierra too, but just not quite as much as Ramin😊😍🥰 but Rierra is EXACTLY what my life was missing 😂

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

@@CB-kj5ze uuum lool yeah , but there was an episode a few weeks back when he was at the mountain with jack and they sang some lines. OMGG THATS SUCH A SHAME, u must be so gutted !! like ugghhh i can feel ur frustration , i havent bought the DVD i watch it online for free withoutbscribing lol. I have almost the full show of LND but its a bootleg and some parts are missing, but overall is good ! I will send u the link, cuz for LND the DVD was with Anna O' Byrne and Ben Lewis not Ramin and Sierra :( . I also found the full show of Ramin as ValJean (obvs a bootleg) and tbh as much as i love Ramin i didnt really enjoy his JVJ !! He was far too young for the role because JVJ is supposed to be around 50-60 years old and when Ramin plsyed it he was 31 or so !! if ii find it i will link it ight so here is LND and quality is shit btw kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnSTlIeKmZ2Ujs0

@@NOONE-cd4gu wow thanks that's AMAZING! I know how I'll be spending my evening! 😂😁 I wish they made the DVD of this version, Ramin and Sierra are so much better than the Australian cast. I do agree that he was very young to play Valjean but he sings good, especially empty chairs at empty tables. I saw the mountain episode of Holby. It was good!
