"Why make her lie to you.... to save me." That moment just makes me....
It's the painful truth he had to hear, luckily he wasn't killed for that. lol But the real question is, did she lie or did she just chose the lesser of two evils?
I read this while that line was sung. 0-0
You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Been watching with my gf for the last couple of months xD
@Gus Jimmy Yea, been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :)
Sarah Brightman, Steve Barton and Michael Crawford honestly made the perfect trio. I wish Steve was still alive so that we could experience this amazing piece in person, again. R.I.P, Steve. You were the best Raoul.
OMG WHEN DIS HE DIE?????
I love Michael Crawford's voice the most. It is filled with such sadness, music and beauty.
Agreed
To think he was once Frank Spencer. Oooooooo.
I know it's a matter of personal taste and your opinion isn't necessarily wrong. I'm just saying that when comparing Gerard Butler and Michael Crawford, I prefer Crawford because he has a melodic voice, compared to Butler's gruff, off-key, "monstrous" voice that, for me, doesn't really work when you consider that the Phantom was always meant to have a deceptively sweet voice. It was what attracted Christine to him in the first place; he sounded to her like he really could be an angel of music.
The Phantom had been teaching Christine to sing. He was her teacher. Michael's voice sounds like he could teach her, but Butler's voice sounds way too gruff and rough to have been a singing teacher, much less an operatic singing teacher.
I like them both, better than Karimloo in my opinion.
Michael puts so much emotion into his role as the phantom. That is why he will always be my favorite phantom.
I know I’m super late but I totally agree with you
The role was written specifically for him by Andrew Loyd Webber.
@@phoenixprime9149 It was not written specifically for anyone, Steve Harley was supposed to be the Phantom and then ALW decided that he wanted Michael Crawford instead.
I mean OGs of any role are usually the best.
@@rubygracemoseley8144 And I agree as well.
One of my favorite things about Erik ks that, to me, it seems like Christine kissing him made something click. It didn't redeem him, but maybe it made him understand why Christine and Raoul were so devoted to each other. I think it made him understand what he had been missing- that love is selfless, and that one should always put their loved one's safety over one's own comfort or joy. I think that's why he told them to leave in the end- he understood that he needed to *let go*.
I think we can't blame Erik because he had no experience with love, childhood, or kindness 'till now
Robert 0077 ......Raoul is literally ready to die for Christine’s freedom. He apologizes for being there and for her having to make the decision. Erik is the one who feels entitled to Christine (“Your *chains* are still *mine,* you will sing for ME”) and is manipulating her for a good chunk of the show (to the point where in Act II she’s so terrified of him she almost refuses to do the play). Forcing marriage onto someone and threatening murder isn’t okay. Yes, he lived a tragic life, never knew love beforehand, and was desperate to cling to the one person who ever showed him kindness, but the reason for his toxic behavior doesn’t exactly excuse it.
Robert 0077 And he assumed that meant he was entitled to marrying her. If I ever ended up on Broadway or something, I would certainly be grateful to my acting coaches for getting me there, but I wouldn’t be marrying any of them over it.
It is both simpler and more complex than that.
In essence, Erik is looking for that love which should have come from his mother -- and so, as each woman in turns from him, they become the mother that cast him aside, in his eyes. In the end, he came to believe that love was an illusion, and that Christine would cast Raoul aside for her own convenience.
And then she didn't. She was willing to return to him for another's sake. And he had to accept that love was real... but not for him. And so he lets them go.
@@ammonjudson4006 ah yes the kidnapping, stalking, murder, attempted murder, extortion, and possible terrorism is a excusable because he had a rough childhood
Micheal is and always will be he best Phantom. He shows the perfect emotions and his high, ghostly voice fits the role so well.
"This haunted face holds no horror for me now... It's in your soul that the truth's disoriented lies...." That part is so haunting and emotional to me.
"true distortion" not to be picky, but I just AM, lol...
It's "true distortion lies." Check the libretto.
Michael Crawford will always be the best Phantom.
Well, i think he is the most "operatic" one, his voice suits the sad and melodramatic tone with also a bit of the spooky voice, i do think the mexican cast phantom has the deep voice i myself always heard when reasing both the book and script. Butler would be a good phantom, not a musical one, but his acting would fit amazingly on a horror non musical phantom, when i see him, i picture him emulating Lon Chaney, from the poses, faces and specially reactions, just make a better deformity and make him play with his biggest attribute, his phisical capacity and his strangely emotional face
John Owen Jones
@@Wilma_Dickfit_huh kristen phantom of the night
Ramin Karimloo imo. All the emotion, plus a great singing voice.
Crawford can sing like an angel, yes but Ramin is a TORMENTED angel.
I wholeheartedly agree
Crawford is unparalleled at characterizing the man, the lover and the monster. Until i hear it nobody will come close to him. But Butler did surprise me with his voice. Thats a very very hard role to portray and massive shoes to fill. Props to him.
mark 5:40 to 5:43 always hits me, the harmony and cohesion at this point is purely magic that will never be recreated in my opinion.
Yes, the trio is phenomenal! It never fails to send the chills down my spine. I was very disappointed about how it was acted in the film, though. It felt flat and emotionless. I'm going to rewatch the film to see if my opinion still holds after 10+ years.
No joke same, except for me no matter who sings it, it always makes me cry
Yes!! It comes to a climax at "choose" I think. That's when my soul ascends lol
This version at this point is literally the best part of the entire musical for me.
I came here looking to see if anyone else had found wonder in this exact spot of this song. I'm gratified to learn that's the case for so many, though it's nothing short of amazing to learn that these 3 or 4 seconds out of the entire soundtrack also seem so remarkable to so many others. It's inexplicable. For me, it's the crescendo at "choose" for Crawford and Barton. Even though they're both singing very similar lines, it's the way that Barton clearly enunciates the first part of the sentence up to "choose", then fades as Crawford comes on strong from "choose" and then on through the end of the sentence. Listening to this in my car for the first time after the show, I thought it was one of the two's voice, it switched so seamlessly. Listening to it without the background noise of a vehicle I still get blown away at how well this came off. It's just magical.
This music never gets old for me, i can listen to it over and over, mom read the book to me as a kid, saw the musical live when i was 16, love it so much, i do have to agree that Crawford is the best Eric in my opinion, dont hate on Gerrard though, considering the shoes he had to fill, and hes not an opera or classical singer, i was surprised he was actually singing.
korydreagan. Agreed.
This trio is amazing. Sarah’s powerful but innocent sounding voice, Steve’s…almost soulful voice is so beautiful and romantic sounding and Michael’s powerful intense voice is amazing!!! This scene I think is my favorite in the entire musical and it’s mainly because of the Phantom (and by that I mean Michael’s) intense and emotional performance.
Probably the best piece in the entire musical. When Christine, Raoul, and the Phantom all harmonize really shows the depth of it all.
I find it odd that it is the only rendition where you can hear them all
Michael is the only one whose voice, in my opinion, is how the Phantom was supposed to sound (almost ghostly). Gerard did good considering he had no formal training and he acted the role well, but his voice did get in the way some of the time. His redeeming factor for me is how well his acting was during the All I Ask of You Reprise and the finale. Emmy Rossum may not have been that operatic of a singer, but she certainly acted the role well and was good as an ingenue (plus, she's actually Christine's age in the movie). Sarah's only redeeming factor in my book is that she's a very good operatic singer, but I don't care for her when she's not singing in one of the operas (Think of Me and Point of No Return).
+Nexol13 Lets take a second to thank Ramin Karimloo for bringing a new degree of emotion to the role
Michael definitely owns the roll, and I appreciate (most) everyone who's followed. The problem I have is how the Phantom has been changed from cunning ghost to overbearing hyper-masculinity in the singing style. It robs the finesse of what makes the character so appealing.
Nexol13 hello let’s thank all of them for bringing the characters to life
(EXCEPT THE RAT ONE$
@@CiarnaK Exactly, I've thought that for years. He is not the "romantic hero" in the sense that Raoul is supposed to be, he's a ghoul. Or at list he thinks he is and portrays himself to be. When they make him too much of a romantic leading man, it takes away the authenticity of the character. He needs to be the phantom.
Emmy Rossum (at 17) was actually young for Christine, who is canonically in her early 20s.
"This is the choice! THIS IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN!"
damn straight
Always...this will be the best recording of this track.
Honestly, Gerard was emotional and seductive and Emmy and amazing and innocent. And Michael and Sarah are classic and beautiful as well. So can we please stop? They're are both wonderful versions. And also, please stop saying Emmy isn't technically good. She has been training as an opera singer since she was 6. She knows what she's doing.
McKenna Vogel no.
Gerard was horrid. His voice was not made for phantom they truly dropped the ball on the casting for the film...sad just sad
gichigichiya it got people to know about the play. Its wonderful
I doubt that the original cast appreciates this type of fandom either. Of course it is nice when your work is praised but not when your colleagues are slandered in the process.
Gerard was horrible, the movie did a total injustice to the Phantom..not any fault of the actors they were cast in the wrong role..gerard cannot sing a lick..the movie was a bomb and any true fan of phantom does not think it was any good..
The best recording of this song. The best cast of Phantom. It's a shame that I wasn't alive to hear this cast live, and I most likely never will.
I know. That's one of the biggest regrets of my life, and it's not even a choice I got to make lol.
"...and my life is over...either way you choose he has to win."
This is so beautiful, I love this piece. Thanks
"GO NOW!! GO NOW AND LEAVE MEEEE!!!!!!" I always feel touched at the despair in his voice. In the end, he put Christine´s welfare in first place. (GB ruined this part, and Ramin, pffff.... )
You feel a touch of black despair? Okay, let the hate begin.
??? Geez... what have I done to you?
GB was amazing.
Helena Stumpf Morelli GB and RK are good. But Gerard cannot..”sing.”
Nothing, I repeat NOTHING can beat Michael and Sarah. I love Emmy, I love Gerard, Ramin, JOJ... BUT Michael and Sarah owned this, they and no one else.
I love how sarah says " in your soul". She shows a lot of emotion in the way she says it.
Michael Crawford has the voice of God!!
Vanessa Lavoie No, Morgan Freeman does XD
No, he has the voice of the angel of music 😂😉
@@djemn18 Haha yessss
“Don’t give your life away for my sake!” Makes me. FEEL.
ITS OVER NOW THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT!!! oh my heart!!!!
starting at 6:39 is my favorite part until the end, but it leaves me in tears every time I listen to it.
probably because she chose him but then to save both Christine and the other guys lives he chooses to be alone..... and I know all to well what feeling utterly alone is like....
Me too. I cry everytime haha
Fae
4:16 up to the end is my favorite part of this sequence
Agreed, words do explain how beautiful that moment, and how incredible the actual orchestra is :)
The daddy of all Phantoms
Whoever says Michael didn’t show enough emotion should go look up clips of him actually performing. He really got into the role in both physicality and vocally (his Final Lair is just heart-wrenching! Even just listening to audio of it gives me feels). This was just the cast album recording, not an actual performance, so this shouldn’t be a basis of how good of a Phantom he was.
Yes! And he won the Olivier and the Tony awards for crying out loud!
It's funny, it never really occurred to me that this was a studio recording, meaning they weren't in the thick of acting and interacting with each other and drawing the emotion out. Yet despite that the emotions are almost palpable. God how I wish I were old enough to have gone to the original performance run of this!
God I love how Steve's Raoul is so emotional during this, rather than just aggressive towards the Phantom
I love the part when Raoul and the Phantom are singing.... It's so powerful!
The part that gets me is during the end, before the Phantom's last part. The moment he realizes Christine actually would sacrifice the rest of her life for Raoul. You can hear it in his voice once he really figures it out, the moment he realizes "God, what have I done?"I feel like a lot of people want the Phantom to win here, but his whole character arc relies on the fact that at the last moment he realizes he has made a mistake. He truly loves Christine but he does not know how to love in a healthy way. I dunno, The Phantom realizing he messed up and letting the two go is a really impactful moment for me.
Steve Barton is one of the best Raoul's of all time, you can tell he is deeply in love and when he says he'll protect Christine, you believe him
Go Michael!
If I were the phantom and said that line “the world showed no compassion to me” I would say it with a nice growl to show my anger
Damn, Phantom is one emo boi.
He always has been, haha
My most favourite part of the whole musical......LOVE IT!
This is the best rendition that I've ever heard
I really love the chorus parts, "Hunt down this murderer he must be found!" Gives me the chills, I love it!
Original cast recording the best ever 👍🏼👍🏼
for either way you choose you cannot win..... my fav. line
When he sings plunge... he's just so good at singing the meaning behind the words... its just pure talent. That's why he is and will always be the best.
Heard sniffles and sobs in the audience around 02:10 when I saw phantom on stage. Emotional scene.
this is my absolute favorite song on the whole sound track. It has a grand mixture of 2 or 3 songs and it also wraps up the storyline quite nicely. I always wonder how the Raoul sings those sections with the rope around his neck.
:D True, I mean, The ending of the phantom of the opera made me cry, I Really wanted to see a 2nd Bit, And The music of the night is still inside me :)
o.o Music score: Awesome. Movie: amazing. Seeing the performance in person: Breathtaking.
I highly recommend if anyone gets the chance to go see the play!!
this is my fav song in the movie, because it's like...ALL the songs combined, but in a more passionate and sad/happy moment :] This scene is too freaking amazing
Im sooo sorry to all of the Gerard Butler fans but I literally cannot tolerate his voice whatsoever. Michael and Ramin (and two others whose names just WONT come to me right now) are my favorites. I know its cliche to love the original voice better than successors but I really do love Michael's tone the best for this character, although I've heard better versions (in my opinion anyway) of this scene here.
I know exactly how you feel. Gerad wasn't good. Sometimes it sounded like he had the croop. XD
just watched the movie 4x yesterday (walmart mother's day sale $6). There IS no Phantom but Crawford (TO ME), but Butler's like a Bruce Willis. I give him props for even ATTEMPTING the role!! Like using a hammer in place of a scalpel...
EclipsialDance I think Butler sings very well
Red Garic 1019 I disagree
In his defense, Gerard Butler, to my knowledge, had no formal musical training before his role, and his acting was very good. I'm not saying he's great, he's not even good when it comes to singing, but for what he had to give he gave what he could to his performance.
This part always makes me cry... Poor Erik :'(
6:09 The way Steve Barton says “Don’t throw your life away for my sake” is so underrated.
DOWN ONCE MORE TO THE DUNGEON OF MY BLACK DISPARE, DOWN WE PLUNGE TO THE PRISON OF MY MIND, DOWN THAT PATH INTO DARKNESS DEEP AS HELL!!! God such...passion.
that's my favorite part of the show
Having seen the movie with gerard butler and now the actually Broadway recording this is next level. Part of me does like Gerards gruff voice seem more fitting as he is a monster. But I think given the story is he is a mysterious singer teaching Christine, this version makes a lot more sense. I love the trio portion!
this version is one of the best i've heard... I really think there is something special in this with the main singers..
No one will ever compare to these guys. Especially Michael.
Have you ever noticed that Raoul assumes she'll save him? I knew she would, but what if she was just like 'no, screw you.' and left
Dude, he tells her flat out to let him die and for her to run away. Lol "For pity's sake, Christine say no! Don't throw your life away for my sake!"
Becca meant that he assumed she would save him, and that's why he told her not to do it.
@Robert 0077 he was telling her to leave him.
My heart breaks for the phantom in this song. 12/2019
There is only one Phantom! and it's Crawford
Although now there’s another Crawford playing Phantom! Michael is my fave, too, but I heard Ben is pretty good.
my second favorite phantom song!!
Michael Crawford is the best phantom ever, period.
Pitiful creature of darkness... best musical phrase of the whole play.
Lovely! Just...just lovely... Heartbreakingly lovely... ='(
I saw this original casting in Beverly Hills in 1985-ish; I was around 7 years old and the chandelier falling was quite unnerving
Most favorite Phantom: Michael Crawford
Least favorite Christine: Sarah Brightman
Crawford's voice is beautiful, melancholy, sinister, and full of emotion. Sarah, gotta love her, but her voice lacks emotion, just a single consistent sound.
I saw her in concert in Philadelphia- and she sounded lovely! So either she really improved after 30 years or sounds better live? Hmmmmmm
It's probably youth and naivity that's behind this opinion, but I think Sarah Brightman has too old of a sounding voice to play Christine. She's supposed to be young and innocent but she sounds about 35. Amazing voice though, and Michael Crawford... wow.
I have this on CD :3 One of my favorite sountracks
It always bothered me, in the film, how they totally eliminate the chorus "track down this murderer/he must be found"; the others, singing, completes the story, and better describes the phantom's character, in my opinion.
I bought this sound track many years ago. Hope I can see original cast once. Somewhere.
I love that musical!! I am absolutely in love with it, that is what I'm sure everyone wants is the Phantom and Christine ( I know I do) it only bothers me that the musical almost glamorizes the Phantom a bit. A man living in the catacombs of an Opera house surely can't be tan or as clean or even muscular (I may be wrong though, I guess it also depends which version one watches, the 2004 definitely portrays that) But I still enjoy it all, music, novel and theatre. Cheers!!!
I could seem him being muscular because he rowed boats and seemed to be always climbing on stuff, but yeah, I agree with all of this.
I can't use reply because I'm on my iPod, but the reason he says 'or' instead of 'and' in "Do you end your days with me, or do you send him to his grave" is because, he is asking if she would stay with him for the rest of her life or if she should leave, resulting in Raoul being killed.
0:00 - 0:52 AND 2:00 - 2:42 ... Phantom's most vulnerable moments, IMO... And, at the end... On stage when he says, "I love you, Christine... I love you, Christine..." As she goes with Raul... Perfection... Heartbreaking perfection.
I FUCKING LOVE Crawford!
I would have stayed with the man. Anyone who writes music for you and kills for you and continuously fights for you is worth it. Plus I like creative men.
"kills for you" :/ not sure that's a criteria you should have for an ideal guy lol. Writing music for you, yes, but the rest...not so much
Yeah, nothing wrong with a guy who will literally drop a chandelier on you if you look at another guy.
@@archsteel7 So you're telling me I shouldn't drop a chandelier on my potential girlfriend? Well, that explains a lot...
The movie is good but thank you RUclips - thank you for having a video with this awesome version on!!
So we thought the music of the night was over. Ten years later the music still lives in the musical love never dies
All I know is that my ears prefer listening to this version.
lets be honest. to get the roll to be a legit good phantom, sarah, raul, all of the cast is so hard to get it an advanced master piece not many can do. to be in this is golden. all should be praised who played the casts.
you alone can make my song take fly
The actual title should say 22/23, not 1/23, but otherwise I love this version! :)
Honestly, Ramin is my favorite. I do love Michael's performance though.
Michael will always be the phantom in my opinion
"so do you end your days with me or do you send him to his GRAVE!" cracks me up every single time lol the way that michael also says "this is your choice!" in a growl...great phantom.
friedrich nietzsche's moustache the whole trio part is amazing but I love the part you mention and Steve’s vocals on the response kills me!! “Why make her lie to you to save me...”
Damn Frank Spencer can SING!
oh my god yes hes not screaming at me this time, i clicked the right version thank JESUS >.< fucking hell
I was actually going to comment on that. I originally heard this on casset so I thought the skips were just cutouts.
IMO- the last stanza that the Phantom sings has to be poignant to draw the audience to tears, and if it doesn't (like Gerard Butler failed to do) it ruins the entire opera.
Chrystie Castillo but it's not an opera..
Donald Horn it is a Broadway or west end show about a phantom at an opera...
This is a musical, not an opera. However, I agree with your point. It needs that emotion to really close the performance. Crawford did a great job with it.
@@donaldhorn221 it is not an opera as the production is not fully sung through
@@spookylad1367 good retort!
@swankified7 Raoul is played by (the late) Steve Barton here, I believe :)
I CRIED WHEN I READ THAT IN THE BOOK!!!!!!!
ikr
His voice 💔💔💔
michael crawford, the best phantom i've ever heard!!!!!!!!! and it's the best cast ever, in my opinion. and it's much better than the german translation and because of that i've to see this great musical somewhere in english!
Sorry, I prefer the movie. The actors sound like they mean it, especially Emmy and Gerard(even though his voice is not classically trained it matches the phantoms voice perfectly because the phantom is not trained either.)
PHANTOM:
Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime...
Lead me, save me, from my solitude...
Say you want me here beside you...
Anywhere you go let me come too...
Christine, that's all i ask of...
RAOUL: Oh my god, Oh my god
MADAME GIRY:
Monsieur Le Vicomte, come with me
Monsieur Le Vicomte I know where they are.
RAOUL:
But can I trust you?
MADAME GIRY:
You must, but remember your hand atthe level of your eyes...
RAOUL:
Why?
MEG:
I'll come with you
MADAME GIRY:
No Meg you must stay here. Come with me Monsieur, hurry or we shall be too late.
PHANTOM:
Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair!
Down we plunge to the prison of my mind!
Down that path into darkness deep as hell!
Why, you ask, was I bound and chained in this cold and dismal place?
Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face!
CHORUS:
Track down this murderer!
He must be found!
PHANTOM:
Hounded out by everyone!
Met with hatred everywhere!
No kind word from anyone!
No compassion anywhere!
Christine, Christine ...
Why, why ...?
MADAME GIRY:
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
... at the level of your eyes ...
CHORUS:
Track down this murderer he must be found!
Track down this murderer he must be found!
Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground! Too long he's preyed on us, but now we know, the phantom of the opera is here deep
down inside!
He's here the Phantom of the Opera...
He's here the Phantom of the Opera...
CHRISTINE:
Have you gorged yourself at last in your lust for blood?
Am I now to be prey to your lust for flesh?
PHANTOM:
That fate which condemns me to wallow in blood, has also denied me the joys of the flesh ...
This face - the infection which poisons our love ...
This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing ...
A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing ...
Pity comes too late - turn around
and face your fate: an eternity of this before your eyes!
CHRISTINE:
This haunted face holds no horror for me now ...
It's in your soul that the true distortion lies ...
PHANTOM:
Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest!
Sir, this is indeed an unparalleled delight!
I had rather hoped that you would come.
And now my wish comes true - you have truly made my night!
RAOUL:
Free her!
Do what you like only free her!
Have you no pity?
PHANTOM:
Your lover makes a passionate plea!
CHRISTINE:
Please Raoul, it's useless!
RAOUL:
I love her!
Does that mean nothing?
I love her!
Show some compassion ...
PHANTOM:
The world showed no compassion to me!
RAOUL:
Christine, Christine...
Let me see her...
PHANTOM:
Be my guest, sir ...
Monsieur, I bid you welcome!
Did you think that I would harm her?
Why should I make her pay for the sins which are yours?
Order your fine horses now!
Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes!
Nothing can save you now - except perhaps Christine...
Start a new life with me -
Buy his freedom with your love!
Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death!
This is the choice -
This is the point of no return!
CHRISTINE:
The tears I might have shed for your dark fate grow cold, and turn to tears of hate!
RAOUL:
Christine, forgive me please forgive me ...
I did it all for you, and all for nothing ...
CHRISTINE:
Farewell my fallen idol and false friend ...
We had such hopes, and now those hopes are shattered!
PHANTOM:
Too late for turning back, too late for prayers and useless pity!
RAOUL:
Say you love him and my life is over
PHANTOM:
All hope of cries for help; no point in fighting!
RAOUL/PHANTOM:
For either way you choose, he has to win/you cannot win!
PHANTOM:
So, do you end your days with me,
or do you send him to his grave?
RAOUL:
Why make her lie to you, to save me?
CHRISTINE:
Angel of Music...
PHANTOM:
Past the point of no return -
RAOUL:
For pity's sake,
Christine, say no!
CHRISTINE:
...who deserves this?
PHANTOM:
... the final threshold...
RAOUL:
Don't throw your life away for my sake!
CHRISTINE:
When will you see reason ...?
PHANTOM:
His life is now the prize which you must earn!
RAOUL:
I fought so hard to free you ...
CHRISTINE:
Angel of Music ...
PHANTOM:
You've passed the point of no return ...
CHRISTINE:
... you deceived me.
I gave my mind blindly.
PHANTOM:
You try my patience - make your choice!
CHRISTINE:
Pitiful creature of darkness...
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you you are not alone...
CHORUS:
Track down this murderer he must be found!
Hunt out this animal, who runs to ground! Too long he's preyed on us, but now we know, the phantom of the opera is there
deep down inside!
PHANTOM:
Take her - forget me - forget all of this...
Leave me alone - forget all you've seen...
Go now - don't let them find you!
Take the boat - leave me know, swear never to tell, the secrets you know, of the angel in hell
GO NOW!
GO NOW AND LEAVE ME!
Masquerade...
Paper faces on parade...
Masquerade...
Hide your face so the world will never find you...
Christine, I love you...
CHRISTINE:
Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime...
Say the word and I will follow you...
RAOUL:
Share each day with me
CHRISTINE:
each night,
RAOUL/CHRISTINE:
each morning...
PHANTOM:
You alone can make my song take flight -
it's over now, the music of the night!
I just realized this is my life on a less dramatic scale. I am the phantom, the person I like is Christine. I am average, and the girl he likes is absolutely gorgeous. She is Rowl. I am letting him go and be happy despite the pain it causes me.
@Robert 0077 nahhhh
I mean, I guess you could compare it to the Angelica-Alexander-Eliza love triangle in Hamilton? The emotion behind it is still there, but the stakes are lower and less murdery.
@@tearoses9940 except Angelica lets Alex go to make Eliza happy, not Alexander.
Michael was the OG OG XD
Sarah is beautiful and hot too !
you are not alone xxxx :P
No-one gonna mention the way Michael says hand
7:06 gorgeous orchestra
Either way you choose..... im in harmonized bliss
I I think Michael Crawford phantom voice his voice of the nation
Michael Crawford is the best Phantom and Sarah Brightman is the best Christine. Sorry but I hate Gerard 's voice and Emmy's voice.
Reminds me of a person who has issues sometimes they should make a phantom tv series
catrina podberesky didn't they make one in the 90s?
not to my recollection
Did some research, there was a mini series of it in 1990, it sounds pretty interesting too from what I'm reading
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_of_the_Opera_%28miniseries%29
Spooky Peeps astonishing
