Who Sang the "Phantom Of The Opera" Climax The Best? (E6)

[@MisterGolightly]

Guys, there was a typo; Rebecca's last name is Caine not Maine, and Anna O'Byrne is actually Tamara Kotova, sorry! I recommend to use headphones to watch the video because the quality of some of them are not as clear as others that were recorded with professional cameras. However the quality of the audio/video doesn't mean that the singer is bad. So listen closely.

I just feel like Sierra’s voice has more power... It doesn’t sound thin or feels like it’s at the end of her range. It feels more supported... not a singer but my ears just love her vibrato right at the end. It doesn’t grate on me like a few of the other singers here.

[@mauvemaven]

@@na1959 Again I’m not a singer and I don’t really care about how high someone can go. I generally don’t like voices that are too bright because they sound screechy to me. Sierra’s high note sits just right in pleasurable goosebump territory for me.

[@na1959]

That's because it's mixed. That's because she wouldn't actually have a voice powerful enough in full falsetto because she's not actually that good of a soprana. It's freakin cheating.

[@mauvemaven]

@@na1959Again, I don’t really care particularly about technique or technicalities. I just find pleasure in hearing her sing.

[@na1959]

@@mauvemaven Well..i guess..yeah, it depends on your tolerance for pitch. I watch a lot of soprano stuff so I like the finale pitchier like with sarah brightman. I also find sierra's voice and transition to falsetto a bit weird to listen to..it's not like others..it's a bit strange and too breathy, strained and hoarse for my taste..It's very apparent in all I ask of you..if you want to know what I'm talking about. I like it crystal clear and thin.. while I get many people love seirra's voice because she mixes a lot more than other christine's..so it sounds fuller. And she's doing everything at a lower pitch. And her vibrato is slower..which also..depends how fast you like it.

Also lets not forget, she is the best actress out of all of them. She sings with a lot of emotion, which does most the songs from phantom justice. For example, wishing you were somehow here again- without a doubt she sung that particular song the best out of all the other actresses, mainly due to the emotion she puts behind her singing. A lot of the other Christine's just have a pretty voice, and can often feel like I'm just watching one long music video.

Rebecca Caine. She landed right on top of the notes and didn't slide up to them. She didn't overuse vibrato like some of the other girls.

And mentioning pitch, Rebecca managed her breath well, so she didn't have that issue like a few of these girls had.

I feel like she was losing breathe control. Maybe if she pumped in more air before hitting the note, she would've been fine.

[@zipzapzop6519]

She's actually really good, that was just a really terrible clip of her

[@Rude_i_Wredne]

She couldn't get her natural vibrato to work, so she tried to fake it by manually trilling. Unfortunatelly that's a terrible option to go for on the notes that high as it sacrifices the stability of the configuration and things will start to sound pitchy and generally chaotic unless you have a lot of reserve in the register you try do it in. It's better to just sing straight notes in that scenario.

[@krys_chan]

My problem with some of them is that they end up sounding like they're just screaming. You have to add the vibrato and take a good breath, the breath is what sperates the notes, so when it's not clear it just sounds like they're getting murdered. Also, like, how? I'm impressed by all still and my sad Alto voice will have to stick with the SING FOR ME parts. 😭

Nicole was classically trained. She belongs in musical theatre.

[@hardcoremagicalgirl]

I know you don't necessarily have to be talented to be a pop star (especially in this day and age) but there are so many singers who do pop that deserve more credit for their voice such as Nicole Scherzinger and Lady Gaga (who went to Tisch School of the Arts, on scholarship too I believe) all deserve more credit for their vocal ability than they receive.

[@arik0128]

oh.. thanks for the info. just looked her info up on wikipedia. she is surprisingly well-trained professionally. so the metal voice is a stylistic choice then.. well..

[@AnimeMovement]

Tarja is a well-trained soprano, but she tends to bring too much weight into her top notes. She's got a beautifully trained voice until about the sixth octave, but to be fair, she's more cross-over than anything.

[@arik0128]

KoreanMusicSubs haha, i can tell from her high E. heavey voice cord with strong breath support? more like a female version of dramatic tenor?? :)

[@slion9914]

Me, a mezzo soprano: **nervously sweating**

[@bcbdrums]

Based on musical performance alone: 1. Rebecca Caine - that E is the clearest, most on pitch, most controlled, she nails it without sliding, and it sounds effortless. Reminds me of Kristin Chenoweth's control on the high note in Wicked. 2. Gina Beck - another very clear high E, closest to Rebecca's. 3. Kaley Ann Voorhies - a very close third! wonderful control. Honorable mention in order, very nice skill and pitch accuracy: Celinde Shoemaker Sierra Boggess Lisa-Anne Wood Rachel Barrel Sarah Brightman in the later performance Emmy Rossum, but I don't think it's fair since it's a studio recording.

In 2007, she was inducted to duPont Manual Alumni's Hall of Fame as one of the youngest inductees.Since 2013, Scherzinger endowed her alma mater with a yearly $2,000 scholarship named after herself. After earning a scholarship, she furthered her studies at Wright State University majoring in theater arts with a dance minor. During this period, Scherzinger garnered the lead roles in regional productions of the musicals Chicago, Guys and Dolls and Show Boat.

I never understood that logic because she does just one note down 3 times prior, unless all the high notes are mimed?!

[@mary__simone]

@Amanda Kay Howell: A former theatre teacher of mine who had worked with some Broadway actors in the past informed my class one time how to tell if a Christine is not truly hitting the final note: if she turns her back to the audience. Sometimes they pre-record the note either if the actress cannot hit it, or if they're giving her a break to avoid vocal damage. I honestly have no idea if this is true or not, I'd have to see for myself, but it is a believable concept that makes complete sense.

[@mayuk92]

I just saw a touring show of Phantom of the Opera in Baltimore where Christine had her back turned towards us for this entire crescendo and I was certainly wondering if these notes were pre-recorded. This explanation makes sense.
