I don't think that there is a 'superior' Christine. I love this version, I love Sierra's version and I love Emmy's version. Obviously, this is the original so we have Sarah to thank for originating such a beautiful musical. Christine is such a vocally demanding role and so I think anyone who takes on the role deserves some appreciation!!!!
This is Sarah's best singing. Yet, Emmy is always going to be my favourite Christine! But they both have beautiful voices when it comes to this voice. I hope to be like them someday!
I met her at the hotel I managed in Philadelphia...I was so excited and she was so nice and left 3 ticket to see her concert in NJ at the Meadowlands. I told her I saw her as christine on Broadway...and it totally moved me. She was so humble and beautiful...I was so star struck.
Christine grew up thinking that the Phantom is her fabled Angel of Music. It took her finally figuring out the terrifying identity of her Angel of Music, experiencing trauma and PTSD, rage quitting the Phantom right after All I Ask of You, her finally telling her friends and Raoul of the abuse she endured to get her seraphic voice, and many other things......to realize that Christine herself is the Angel of Music all along.
One of my favorite female singers. My oldest daughter sang that song when she auditioned for North Carolina School of The Arts. Got her a full ride. My other favorite singer is Lea Salonga in her Les Miserables 10th Anniversary performance. Saw Lea live at the Fox in Miss Saigon.
Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford were magnificent as Christine and the Phantom. It was when she kissed his hideous face and told him if you were not so Angry I could have loved you (with that kiss), that I understood unconditional love. In his song recounting that he had a face that only his mother could love (Masquerade), I was transfixed. This play will go down on history for me as the greatest love story ever told.🥰. This is coming from someone who hasn’t had a relationship in over 10 years. I have embraced Solitude happily. But I could go to this play again and again.🥰. I do believe in human kindness, when it appears. Phantom of the Opera will always get a huge BRAVO from me.
So many versions of Think of Me - I still like Brightman's version the best as she really bring out the longing version of a lady who wants her love to remember her...
Love the original cast recording with Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawfordinf Phantom of the Opera. Have seen Phantom 4 times in Toronto, Canada all different performers. Enjoyed the different versions, but Sarah and Michael are my favorites.
I love Sarah Brightman, I like her more mature, experienced voice, but then again I like Emmy's young, sweet and natural voice. I like them both very much.
The part was written specifically *for* her. Her husband, the creator of this musical, had *HER* in mind for this role. She is the original. And considering the "talent" of these days, she's better than all the rest. I'd challenge any of todays divas to match her range and purity of sound. You need to truly know musical talent to know that Christine was a force to be reckoned with, in both her prime, and even now.
I saw The Phantom of the Opera in 1988 Sarah Brightman made a once appearance which was a totally unexpected experience. The night was magic with her and of course Michael Crawford
I was fortunate to have seen Phantom with Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford.......10th row center orchestra at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion . I can still remember when the chandelier swooped over us I almost screamed out loud I was so startled. We could feel the warmth of the flashes of fire on stage......it was a magical experience. I saw it again with Robert Guillaume and he was quite good. But that night with the original cast...there are no words. One of my most cherished memories. She was meant to be Christine.
CHRISTINE Think of me, 想起我 think of me fondly, 柔情的想起我 when we ve said goodbye. 当我们已经说了再见 Remember me, once in a while - 偶尔想想我 please promise me you ll try. 请答应我你会试着这样去做 When you find that, 当你发现 once again, 再一次 you long to take your heart back and be free - 你渴望让自己振作、自由 if you ever find a moment, 如果你曾找到一瞬间 spare a thought for me... 想着我 We ve never said our love was evergreen, 我们从没说过我们的爱能永存 or as unchanging as the sea - 或者像大海一样不曾改变 but if you can still remember, 但是若你能一直记住 stop and think of me... 停下来想想我 Think of all the things we ve shared and seen - 想想我们一起分享一起经历过的事 don t think about the way things which might have been... 不要回想可能发生的 Think of me, 想想我 think of me waking, 醒着的时候想想我 silent and resigned. 安静的顺从的 Imagine me, 想象我 trying too hard to put you from my mind. 很难把你从记忆中抹去 Recall those days, 想起那些日子 look back on all those times, 想起所有过去的日子 think of the things we ll never do - 想起我们没来得及做的事情 there will never be a day, 没有一天 when I won t think of you... 我不在想你 Can it be? 是这样吗？ Can it be Christine? 是这样吗？克里斯提娜？ Bravo! 好啊！ Long ago, it seems so long ago How young and innocent we were She may not remember me But I remember her Christine Flowers fade,the fruits of summer fade They have their seasons,so do we But please promise me that sometimes You will think of me.
I love her voice. I have this phantom of the Opera CD that's soooooo old. It's from the cast that I like the most, Sarah Brightman & Michael Crawford. They're great. ^^
Was Dec. 1993, In NYC with My True Love, as attended Phantom & were enchanted forever, even though we are together at this time, this song springs eternal hope for me !
Growing up I had a huge crush on her and now at 43 years of age I find her just as beautiful as I did as a teen. Try going to a midwest school and being a Phantom fan lol
All Hail Sarah Brightman! Seriously, the most beautiful woman with the most beautiful heavenly voice....she really is a gift to the world and anyone who thinks anyone else is a better Christine bugger off...Sarah is the one and only Christine...the music was written for her voice. It'll be stupid to say there are no other good female singers, there are lots...but no one compares to Sarah, the lady is in a class all my herself and she's out of reach for every other singer.
@lettersfromkay I acknowledge your point. But I believe that without Brightman this song would sound quite different. It was written for her and her voice exactly, every tremor and dynamic was to suit her voice so naturally she would be the one perfect for it. Unlike other people who sing this, she had a special connection to the song beyond the fictional character itself, so when she sang it she didn't just embody Christine, she WAS Christine. And she was Weber's Christine, and our Christine.
I saw the stage version with Sarah Brighman and Michael Crawford on the last time they performed together. I count this as one of the best things l was lucky enough to see. They were both spectacular I will see it again when possible, but doubt anyone can match these two wonderful performers. Love Emmy Rossum and Gerrard Butler too, but no comparison to S.B. and M. C. The other stage version A 25 yr. Celebration at Crystal Palace was also amazing, ( televised version ) but still not as amazing as Crawford and Brightman. ....... Pauline Gribben.
+Courtney Act She definitely is! Her singing and dancing were absolutely flawless, not to mention her last few notes were the best. I never had a chance to see her live and yet she remains my favourite. Sierra will probably be my second though. I just wish we'll get to see a DVD/Blu-Ray release of the 1986 Original London Cast soon!
Courtney Act I didn't watch the full movie but I only saw clips of her in it and I think she's as great as always! She'll always be the Angel of Music IMHO ^^
Sometimes this tune gets stuck in my head. For me this is nothing unusual. I have all sorts of music bouncing around, from Gustav Mahler to significant one-shot greats from the 60s. Without deliberation, my mind will shift from Beethoven to some modern-day pop performer. One minute I'll be listening to Katy Perry and the next moment I'll be listening to Brahms' first piano concerto. I'm usually totally unaware of the shift. It's weird. I don't want to enter into who was the best Christine debate or who is a better singer. I'll leave that up to your individual judgment. Sometimes, when I hear this song I hear Brightman -- other times I can hear Rossum. If I listened more to other singers, I'm sure they'd get a place in my unconscious. When I listen to Boggess, I think, wow, that's really supreme, but I'd have to listen to her more often for her voice to enter my unconscious. I'm a big Sarah Brightman fan but find no need to defend her. Other artists have given this song a real range and I'm glad of it.
I think Sarah Brightman is the best singer in the world. She has the voice of an angel. I've always loved her music since I was little. Proud to share her surname.
paul kolifrath the crazy eyes are part of the character though. If you read the book, Christine is described as always having crazy eyes and being very dazed and skittish
Beautiful voice. I had the pleasure of seeing her twice in Orlando --- Once was the Eden concert. Ticket prices have gotten out of this world however and I could not afford her last concert.
Beautiful voice, beautiful eyes, beautiful lady. I wish I could have seen and heard her on the stage of "Phantom". She has become one of my favorite singers.
I swear this will sound cheesy, but I have not heard another song that has touched my soul how this has. [Insert the irritated comments about how cheesy that was]
A beautiful, unaffected performance from La Brightman, long before they started messing around with the lyrics and ramping up the whole show. Less is more.
Lol when I first heard this song, at about 2:22 when Raoul sings "You're really not a bit" I thought he said "You're really not a b****" and I thought "Wait...what?!" Lol funny memories... Anyways...man I love this song!
So angelic, surreal and effortless ...what a beautiful lyric soprano voice!❤❤❤
Sarah's voice is like a bell! So pure and clear
her voice is flawless. incredible. beautiful.
I agree wholeheartedly
I don't think that there is a 'superior' Christine. I love this version, I love Sierra's version and I love Emmy's version. Obviously, this is the original so we have Sarah to thank for originating such a beautiful musical. Christine is such a vocally demanding role and so I think anyone who takes on the role deserves some appreciation!!!!
Sarah IS Christine! No argument!
👏👏👏👏
Webber wrote the part for her voice.
Sarah🔥, Emmy and Amy - yes, Sierra - noooo!
@@MichaelChengSanJose, Lloyd-Webber!🤦
I don't think there's a more beautiful voice that can deliver with such richness/fullness. Love Sarah Brightman.
I always remembered it as "Think of August when the tree's were green. Don't think about the way things might have been."
Just so natural. Not even difficult for her. Amazing voice.
I love her voice. Can't beat it.
This is Sarah's best singing. Yet, Emmy is always going to be my favourite Christine! But they both have beautiful voices when it comes to this voice. I hope to be like them someday!
Waaaah me tooo!!!!
I met her at the hotel I managed in Philadelphia...I was so excited and she was so nice and left 3 ticket to see her concert in NJ at the Meadowlands. I told her I saw her as christine on Broadway...and it totally moved me. She was so humble and beautiful...I was so star struck.
Nobody else need ever sing this song. After Sarah, who could there be?
This song was written for her voice Literally!
Such a beautiful clear & high pitched voice! Truly an unbeatable legend!
I love Sarah’s ability to hit every note with pure tonality !!!!!
Sarah Brightman IS Christine and always will be as far as I'm concerned :)
Christine grew up thinking that the Phantom is her fabled Angel of Music.
It took her finally figuring out the terrifying identity of her Angel of Music, experiencing trauma and PTSD, rage quitting the Phantom right after All I Ask of You, her finally telling her friends and Raoul of the abuse she endured to get her seraphic voice, and many other things......to realize that Christine herself is the Angel of Music all along.

YAAAAAAAAAAS i also love both of them
Her voice is so pure and just...amazing. Just amazing.
That is why Sarah is the original Christine, she is the angel of music.
Anna Verona well Phantom was written for her, so there's that....
Amen!!
agreed with you .. ......
Still makes me cry to this day. BRAVO!!!

I grew up with this version and will always love it!
Those last notes were brilliant.
I love her dresses in this clips. She is so beautiful and her voice is so elegant
So many versions of Think of Me - I still like Brightman's version the best as she really bring out the longing version of a lady who wants her love to remember her...
Sarah Brightman is AMAZING!!!! Truly one of the MOST INCREDIBLE VOICES of this generation!!!
Wow! This is the best version to date, in my opinion. Sarah makes it sound so effortless!
Love the original cast recording with Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawfordinf Phantom of the Opera. Have seen Phantom 4 times in Toronto, Canada all different performers. Enjoyed the different versions, but Sarah and Michael are my favorites.
Ms Brightman's voice has an innate warmth to it that is rarely found in trained operatic sopranos.
Sarah, you have everything, looks, talent and a voice from heaven, thanks for sharing all of this all around the World !!
This is so bright and beautiful. How can anyone not love Sarah.
I love listening to her sing. She has a beautiful voice
There is only one Sarah ! Marvellous voice.
Oh My God! She beautifull and the most important is her voice is great! I'm lucky to find this video! :)
FANTASTIC SARAH 🥰
I love her voice ❤️❤️❤️ She has such a clear tinkling sound. So pretty AND strong.
I love Sarah Brightman, I like her more mature, experienced voice, but then again I like Emmy's young, sweet and natural voice. I like them both very much.

ROSALÍA tho
For her age at the time Emily Rossum was amazing you have to admit
she is the best of the best
@@TheCoogs76Emmy is the best at this part.
I saw this show in L.A. in 1989
With Michael Crawford
MAGNIFICENT
I like Emmy's version, she did it beautifully but this is my FAVORITE hands down
I get you. Part of me thinks the same
I saw The Phantom of the Opera in 1988 Sarah Brightman made a once appearance which was a totally unexpected experience. The night was magic with her and of course Michael Crawford

She makes it sound so easy to sing! ❤❤
What a GORGEOUS voice!!
i first heard Emmy, but i'm listening to this over and over.. and .. yeah.. starting to dig it.
She is amazing.
CHRISTINE
Think of me,
想起我
think of me fondly,
柔情的想起我
when we ve said goodbye.
当我们已经说了再见
Remember me, once in a while -
偶尔想想我
please promise me you ll try.
请答应我你会试着这样去做
When you find that,
当你发现
once again,
再一次
you long to take your heart back and be free -
你渴望让自己振作、自由
if you ever find a moment,
如果你曾找到一瞬间
spare a thought for me...
想着我
We ve never said our love was evergreen,
我们从没说过我们的爱能永存
or as unchanging as the sea -
或者像大海一样不曾改变
but if you can still remember,
但是若你能一直记住
stop and think of me...
停下来想想我
Think of all the things we ve shared and seen -
想想我们一起分享一起经历过的事
don t think about the way things which might have been...
不要回想可能发生的
Think of me,
想想我
think of me waking,
醒着的时候想想我
silent and resigned.
安静的顺从的
Imagine me,
想象我
trying too hard to put you from my mind.
很难把你从记忆中抹去
Recall those days,
想起那些日子
look back on all those times,
想起所有过去的日子
think of the things we ll never do -
想起我们没来得及做的事情
there will never be a day,
没有一天
when I won t think of you...
我不在想你
Can it be?
是这样吗？
Can it be Christine?
是这样吗？克里斯提娜？
Bravo!
好啊！
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me
But I remember her
Christine
Flowers fade,the fruits of summer fade
They have their seasons,so do we
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think of me.
黃慧 hen hao
the original? the best! more like it!. she is the perfect balance between broadway and true opera.
She will never be replaced.
I love her voice. I have this phantom of the Opera CD that's soooooo old. It's from the cast that I like the most, Sarah Brightman & Michael Crawford. They're great. ^^
So...beautiful😢
BRAVO!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

2:20 the first time I heard this I thought he was saying ''you're really not a bitch." haha
Lisa Black
LOL JUST HEARD IT 😂😂😂😂 IM LAUGHING SO HARD
Lisa Black Your ears need digging.
whatever
Lisa Black yass thats so funny i heard it too😂
Beautiful voice.

I truly love her.
She is magical.
She has stolen my heart.
Her voice weakens me.
Oh Sarah. Oh my dear Sarah.
this is why sarah is my idol!!!
she has the beautifullest voice
shes my angel!!
I've seen sierra boggess live, twice. I still think Sarah is the best Christine (don't get me wrong sierra is incredible but I just prefer Sarah's)
+Courtney Act She definitely is! Her singing and dancing were absolutely flawless, not to mention her last few notes were the best. I never had a chance to see her live and yet she remains my favourite. Sierra will probably be my second though. I just wish we'll get to see a DVD/Blu-Ray release of the 1986 Original London Cast soon!

Courtney Act I didn't watch the full movie but I only saw clips of her in it and I think she's as great as always! She'll always be the Angel of Music IMHO ^^
+Courtney Act THANK YOU!! lol
+phantom lover As Sarah should be considering Andrew Lloyd Weber wrote the music for Phantom specifically for her voice
2020, and I am still here to listen This! Forever classic ❤️

I appreciate it. and totally relate :) except my inner voice for this song is usually Boggess's
how rude, Sunny.
Thor Odinson, same. Though, how do you get internet from Asgard?
I think Sarah Brightman is the best singer in the world. She has the voice of an angel. I've always loved her music since I was little. Proud to share her surname.
Wow! I just got goosebumps all over my arms on that really high note! So beautiful!
I just don't understand why Sarah gets such a bad rap. I think her voice is beautiful.
Some people were jealous of her!
Its the crazy eyes
paul kolifrath the crazy eyes are part of the character though. If you read the book, Christine is described as always having crazy eyes and being very dazed and skittish
It’s probably because she’s a crossover songstress from pop to opera
Some "divas" are jealous Andrew wrote Phantom for Sarah
Beautiful voice. I had the pleasure of seeing her twice in Orlando --- Once was the Eden concert. Ticket prices have gotten out of this world however and I could not afford her last concert.
Wow, I always thought she had such an amazing voice, and beautiful green eyes too!!
Love this version!
Oh, I remember that February afternoon in 2006 when I first put the original cast recording into the cd-player... It was MAGIC! And still is ♥
Beautiful voice, beautiful eyes, beautiful lady. I wish I could have seen and heard her on the stage of "Phantom". She has become one of my favorite singers.
omg the ending of the song is so cool :) what a pretty song :D
Sarah is the most beautiful singer. I discovered her in the summer of 1998.
Just crying right now with this song...I love the hole masterpiece!
Adoro esse cantora maravilhosa uma voz maravilhosa linda 💗💗😍😍😍😍💗😍💗💗💗💗
she's amazing!
ELA PRA MIM É UMA ÓTIMA CANTORA NOSSA AMO TODOS OS TRABALHOS DELA, PARECE UM ANJO COM ESSA VOZ MARAVILHOSA QUE ELA TEM!!!!!!!!!!
I love the originally cast voices!!! Their all unique! In the shows you see today they all have the typical broadway voices.
Love it!!
Sarah Brightman's the BEST!
I swear this will sound cheesy, but I have not heard another song that has touched my soul how this has. [Insert the irritated comments about how cheesy that was]
Well I guess you underestimated humanity huh
the angel of music
My Mum loved this. She used to sing it it in the kitchen....quite well too I have to say.
A beautiful, unaffected performance from La Brightman, long before they started messing around with the lyrics and ramping up the whole show. Less is more.
Best version
Wonderful voice and beautiful
Sarah Brightman will forever be my Christine.
Her angelic voice has stuck with me since a kid in the late 80's/early 90's watching cats and POTO in London
looks and sounds beautiful
Lol when I first heard this song, at about 2:22 when Raoul sings "You're really not a bit" I thought he said "You're really not a b****" and I thought "Wait...what?!" Lol funny memories...
Anyways...man I love this song!
how can anyone unlike this?
wowwwwwww I have never seen pictures of her like this!! she looks awesome
Sarah does this song far better than Emmy could ever hope to do.
This sends shivers down my spine! It's so beautiful! Definitely one of my favourite Christine's.
Beautiful!
WHAT A WONDERFUL AND AMAZING VOICE!!!!!
Just imagine having this amazing musical written just for you...
I fell something in your melody ❤❤❤❤
The Best voice of the world shes the best Love Sarah
