  • So these are my top 15 favorite Phantoms. I know there are a lot of Phantoms in the whole world but these are the ones who stood out for me. No bad comments or anything. I made something like this for Christine Daae, and you could check it out if you want! [ • My Top 15 Favorite Chr... ] And these are the Phantoms that almost got into my top 15, who are also awesome and precious to me:
    #16: Ian Jon Bourg
    #17: Scott Davies
    #18: Brad Little
    #19: Peter Joback
    #20: Geronimo Rauch
    I did not record. All rights goes to the respectful owners. I did this mainly for fun.

    I wonder... If another actor had been chosen to be the Phantom in the 25th would people feel the same about Ramin? I'm not saying he's not good. He's one of the best Phantoms in the show's history, but I dunno if I'd call him the best of all. He's got some pitch issues (you can notice in the 25th), but I like the way he plays the Phantom. Plus the chemistry he has with Sierra is incredible.

    omG. I was schocked to see Ramin on 13th Place... For he is the best for me! :((
    I think ihe plays Eric with such a great feeling, and his voice *-* And I personally think it is qesom ehow he includes Screaming (the techinque) into fitting parts! :D
    And Michael is a great Phantom... but I am not a such a huge fan of his voice, sadly, but he is great and I like him! to me, his voice is to... high maybe? i dont know how to describe it...
    But they are all awesome!

    I risk making enemies by saying this, but it’s my honest take on the Ramin fever everyone seems to have-nothing about his portrayal seems unique. To me, he’s just a strong singer and so so actor. I love some of your selections. My favs are MC, Gary Mauer, Brad Little, and Howard McGillin! Thanks for posting 😉

    I see that the painfully oblivious continue to troll through here. This is just starting to become a tragedy. For goodness sake people. THIS IS NOT A POLL!!!! This is someone's opinion on their all-time favorite actors who have played the Phantom. They're not seeking recommendations who should be on the list or where to place them. Let alone listening to the bashing of "This person needs to be number 1. How could you not put them there?!." My all-time favorite isn't on here at all. I'm hardly holding a grudge.
    That being said. I love me some Hugh Panaro! :)

    • @songthief9560
      @songthief9560 9 лет назад +3

      Silver54ful I've never heard anyone say they disliked Hugh Panaro. Even if you have another favorite singer, Hugh is nice person and animal-lover, his singing voice is a showstopper and he pours so much energy into very original characterizations. Its like finding out that you didn't win a contest, but your best friend did. :)

    • @Silver54ful
      @Silver54ful 9 лет назад +2

      Song Thief I was a fan of his as soon as I heard he likes to have his dog around for company in his dressing room. Since I to am a massive animal lover. He had me as puddy in his hands. Being a gifted actor, vocalist and a an all around nice person is a bonus. LOL!

    First of all, Ramin's 25th performance for me was meh, so I think he's right where he belongs on this list.
    For me it's
    1.) Earl Carpenter, who made me cry big hefty tears
    2.) Michael Crawford, whose voice and presence remain unmatched
    3.) John Owens-Jones, who gave me chills
    4.) Gerard Butler, who introduced me to musicals and made me cry. He was exceptional and I will die on this hill.
    5.) Ben Lewis, who I listen to on repeat
    Peter Jöback and Ben Forster are honorable mentions because I did like them, but I haven't seen enough to consider them favorites.
    I'm trying to broaden my horizons to more Phantoms and Christines, so this video was very helpful to find someone to watch next.

    @BarrelsPolesandJack 6 лет назад +1

    :-/ That first dude was horrible. I did NOT like his voice. Ramin is, by far, the best, but the clip you have of him is NOT one of his better moments. I think his performance for the 25th anniversary @ the Royal Albert Hall was better. Dave Willetts' performance was freakin' SCARY, dude. Not sure I liked him. Gary Mauer's voice was REALLY nice! I liked it a lot. :-) Howard McGillan was pretty good, but the vibrato doesn't do much for me, though I understand that that particular scene is supposed to be really emotional, so it's okay. Earl Carpenter was pretty cool. Clip was just short, though. :-) John Cudia was okay; the clip just didn't really highlight his voice very well. Matthew Cammelle was okay. :-) He had some good points in that clip. Now as far as Michael Crawford goes, I don't get why he's so popular. I mean, I get that he was the first Phantom (apart from Steve Harley), but his voice just isn't that GOOD. At least, not to me. JOJ has a SUPER nice voice, but I'm not big on his acting skills. Kinda dull and boring. Now, that clip you have of him is pretty decent. Hugh Panaro has a decent voice. That's all I'll say about that. I will say this one thing, and then I'll be done:: Peter Joback should have NEVER been picked to play the Phantom. I cannot STAND his voice. It sounds like a bleating sheep.
    There. I'm done.

      Lol yeah Peter Karrie is always like a kind of joke to me. I started being a "phan" back in 1997 when the internet was in its infancy. So the clips and whatever were really limited back then. I remember hearing clips of Peter Karrie live, and my sister and I would constantly make of fun of it. Maybe he was good if you saw him live, his acting or something, idk. But just hearing him...he was just SO over the top, all over the place, so extra and not in a good way
