*****​ I know that not every girl is a feminist and I most certainly did not call you one, but rather my comment was meant to portray the fact that even if you asked for a man to look at you that way most feminist will have their views on that relationship and try to make points on why it is wrong. And as a result of that most men are afraid to be passionate both psychologically and physically when it comes to their love life.

@Kiel Enrique Yeah, absolutely. Method actors have their merit, they can deliver incredible performances, just look at Mandy Patinkin and Heath Ledger, both can deliver outstanding characters. Gary Oldman and Dustin Hoffman, however, would be two of my examples of truly great actors. Stories of Oldman being given the nickname "Scary Gary" for how well he could be having a conversation, they call action and he's a deranged villain, and once the director calls cut he becomes his friendly self once again. Sorry, I don't know why I wrote such a long comment to someone who is in agreement with me. Have a nice day, haha.

@@jamiechieng9585 Jamie, what I mean by “Erik mode” is when Ramin (or any other actor who’s played Phantom) takes on the gestures and nuances of the character. “Erik” is the Phantom’s name, based on the original book by Gaston Leroux. Lloyd Webber never gives the Phantom a name in his musical, but many Phans of the show that are familiar with the original story, will use “Erik” to speak of the Phantom. :)

Looking at how Sierra respond to the four Phantoms makes me think of the different things that Phantom represented to Christine. A friend, a father figure, a brother figure, and a lover.

And somehow, with this sudden realisation, it made me understand her character even more and feel more emotions.

[@judahcatherine]

I know I’m back to this video but hear me out: It’s very obvious that Sierra respects all of the Phantoms so much (the angel she is), and that she’s so honored to be Christine in this setting. She loves that she can finally smile singing this song. The thing is, when you’re comfortable and have chemistry with one of your best friends, you unconsciously lean into them. See the placement of Sierra’s center of gravity (her chest) always in towards Ramin. Every movement from her just seems like another way to be close to him. The way that she feels him behind her: she doesn’t have to see him or feel his hands on her for them to feel electricity. And THAT’s why their chemistry is so special: she is HIS angel, and his only. They can sing it with anyone they want, it will never have the pure electricity that Sierra and Ramin will always have.

[@geminicris4586]

The way he looks at her... damn...

[@kentzelesky3050]

I agree with this statement so much, and if you notice at like :10 second mark Ramin is rubbing his hands together in anticipation of Sierra’s singing and granted through the beginning part of the song it only focuses on his side, but do you notice his subtle smile the entire time or how is eyes never glance away, that to your point is the kind of chemistry the two of them have developed which is truly one of a kind

[@zenderlee]

100% correct. I don't believe there ever has been or will be a partnership like these 2 for this show. They are absolute pure magic together. And as someone above said, THE HANDS! How are Ramin's hands so freaking sexy? And also agree with the "What's your sexuality? Ramin Karimloo." But I do feel strongly that Sierra is the best Christine ever. By a LOT. I think John Owen Jones may win on pure vocals as the best phantom if you're just listening, but Ramin is by far the sexiest phantom and acts it the best. IMNSHO.

[@karissaholden2472]

okay but did anyone else think that ramin looked like he was about to cry because of how proud he was of sierra when she walked out looking so beautiful at 0:10?? and then he looks at hugh and peter all like “do you guys see her? she’s my christine. look how beautiful she is” as he nervously plays with his hands and rings just like he did when he realized everyone was looking at him because of his beautifully powerful voice when he comes in at 9:32 during music of the night... this is why i love ramin so much as a performer and person. he’s humble and always proud of his friends and they way he pays attention to each person singing at that moment shows that he respects everyone on that stage as an artist. and his friendship with sierra is so pure and rare. they are the best pairing in my opinion.

[@EthalaRide]

Given that they were in Love Never Dies together, Ramin's Phantom is the only one her Christine CHOSE to be with. They kinda thought that way in the 25th anniversary Royal Albert Hall show. In Ramin's podcast The Hang, part 2 with Sierra at 8:20 mark she says "And I love that we got to do Phantom 25th together AFTER we did Love Never Dies. Because we both had done the parts before, then we played _what happens,_ so we know what their relationship was based on that, and I think it informed us even more. *_And It gave us permission to love each other."_* Regardless of what you think of Love Never Dies, These two MET because of it, and thus established their versions of Christine and Phantom as endgame, so their chemistry is gonna be off the chart. She continues to talk about a student of hers asking if she regrets going with Raoul at the end of TPotO, and she says it's different every time. Sometimes she leaves thinking "thank god, thank GOD" and sometimes on the boat she wouldn't even look at Raoul and just be looking at The Phantom. But she said "And that night that we did the 25th, that was unplanned but... I- [Ramin: "that look back?"] That look back! I couldn't- _I couldn't leave you._ But I also couldn't leave Hadley." Their Phantom and Christine are SO intertwined at this point.

[@TimeandMonotony]

That's honestly why I'm grateful for LND, despite not liking the story (love the music, though.) If not for it, Ramin and Sierra probably wouldn't have met and established their friendship, chemistry and trust, which made their performances and dynamic in the RAH performance so spectacular. And the fact that, as you say, they'd already played the Phantom and Christine, with other people in POTO and then with each other in LND, informed and added to their performances in POTO 25, which I'm so glad has been immortalized in DVD/Blu-ray, so new generations of Phans can always watch it, because I'd argue it's the definitive POTO film adaptation (I only put it ahead of the Lon Chaney version because it makes me mad he doesn't get redeemed in that one.) I can easily ignore LND (apart from listening to the aforementioned excellent songs), but I'm glad that it brought these two together as friends/colleagues, as it resulted in one of the best Phantom/Christine pairings in any POTO show. Also, that's really interesting to hear Sierra's thoughts on the matter, thanks for sharing!

[@catvanburen2768]

I love watching performances like this, where you can see and hear the differences between each actor's personal interpretation of the character. Ramin carries a lot of power in his voice and translates it very well to the mannerisms of Erik, John Own Jones, adds to the romanticism with his clear voice, Hugh's portrayal especially here, provides an almost innocent sensitivity to the character that harkens back to the gothic elements of the novel, and Peter Joback in his portrayal here portrays the creative thinker and musician that the Phantom is. Its absolutely fascinating, and it makes me cry every time. I love Phantom of the Opera so much!
