CarolLynnWilliams you are correct. The only time I haven’t heard one do that accent is the ORIGINAL London recording and shows where the phantom is new to the role. For example there is a RUclips of one of Ben Lewis’s first portrayals of Erik (in phantom, he played him in lnd first) in London where he sounds normal then others later on where he is using the accent (he’s awesome btw).
This is awesome! So much better than the cast recording, because it shows how much the character was developed, such as attempting to sound more like Piangi in the beginning.
Just time stamping my favorite parts: 1:07 - Our Games of make believe are at an end 3:38 - How long should we two wait before we’re one? 4:09 - The bridge is crossed, so watch it burn… 4:17 - We’ve passed the Point of No Return
Lol. Love Michael, he's the absolute best, but he was definitely off key there for awhile mid-song. But goodness, did he bring it home w/ his AIAOY Reprise!
alanshore17 Off-key? I don't hear it. I think it's awsome that Michael sings with emotion and therefore may have imperfections here and there, because that's what the Phantom would do if he was feeling emotional from being so close to his love, yet still unable to be with her.
No way to edit out those codes once they show up. I didn't know they would happen that way when I input them. That was supposed to be Trilling his Rs (as opposed to rolling his Ds) and the other was supposed to read Spanish and Italian. So sorry.
Gosh, I guess you cannot input contractions either. It is a good thing the RUclips word processor accepts periods and commas or the comments would be unreadable, exclamation mark.
If you listen again, i believe you will find The Phantom is trilling his R's, common in Spanish & Italian, when he is pretending to be Piangi.

thank you so much for posting this.
I really like the accent, something that is lost in later takes. However a convince accent a good rr does not make
Erik. ❤️

Yeah why does he roll the d's for this song but no others?
