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.
@@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.
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 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.
Nicole Scherzinger is UNDERRATED. Talk about being famous for the wrong thing. WHO heard THAT voice and said "yeah drown her out with 4 other chicks". And Rachel Potter too! I LOVED Voiceplay's collab with her! BEAUTIFUL. Sierra Blows my mind too, not enough of YALL mentioning her.
@@5050TM If you look on the back of any album from them, the only singer listed was Nicole. She was pretending to be all four of them the whole time. She's incredible.
Sierra’s voice is insane. Her spin is so fast and powerful that you hear the lower overtone octave. In other words, it sounds like her soprano head voice and chest belt combined.
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.
Sierra did a great job of acting like a terrified puppet caught in the phantoms web whilst her singing was still brilliant. Really felt like she had no choice but to sing
- crescent422 - a lot of ppl with untrained ears can hardly recognize the difference between head voices of different singers. For them, all head voices sound the same.
Mhmm. I noticed some of them sing the note a bit differently. Like I swear the note is supposed to be E6, but some of these bitches are pushing their luck and heading for the G6 or some shit like that even. At least that's what I think, based on which versions I can sing along to.
Not many people are talking about it but Rebecca Caine has the most sweetest and angelic voice I’ve ever heard. It’s so pure and strong which really captures Christines character for me.
Phantom: SING! Me, an untrained alto with zero musical talent: aaaaaaaaAAH Phantom: i said sing, not squeal Still me: *a a a a a a a AA H* Phantom : aight imma get ma butter knife
@@faithlillie27 Plenty of people can hit that note. Not the same way these ladies do. I can hit higher notes than this even but people are more likely to call the cops than cue the applause.
For a Soprano is easy to hit those notes, I can do it at my singing lessons, the difficult part is to control the air and sustain the note so long and with that clarity
Agreed. The quality in this video is horrible but she sounds crystal clear. While others may enjoy the heavy vibrato you hear from others, I felt her clarity makes her sound more angelic, which is how Christine is supposed to sound.
I love her voice too.) The quality of audio isn't the best, but on my opinion it gives her voice a specific echo effect, as in the dungeons of the Phantom of the Opera. For it was like "WOW"!)
Sarah Brightman was shown twice and both times blew everyone else away. Though the role was originally created for her voice so I guess it is not that surprising.
Sexy Jesus she really wasn’t. Sarah’s control in the coloratura blows everyone else out of the water I’m afraid. When compared to Sarah, Sierra’s coloratura is almost a scream.
@@marissasifre9026 It's not about what someone else can do, it was about Kim's attempt, and I say attempt, because it was not very good. She had no control of her voice what so ever, she sounded very constricted and very rushed. Especially when you listen to the other renditions, That is just a plain fact.
djsaxby It is a very complex song. It could have been a bad night for her. Some of these girls have to do this 8 times a week twice a day. Yes she may have struggled a little. I’m just saying it was kind of rude how you phrased it. If you don’t have something nice to say don’t say it at all.
The Musical isn't an opera but musical theatre. Opera is entirely different from the singing in the musicals (which would be at best "classical singing")
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. Some of those girls sounded like pitchy car alarms with how much vibrato they were using. And mentioning pitch, Rebecca managed her breath well, so she didn't have that issue like a few of these girls had.
For me Sarah Brightman will always be the best, she IS the angel of music, that song was literally made for her. Also, the most beautiful version of hers is the one from "Symphony live in Vienna" she even hits higher notes asjdhkasdj
Aubrey Posen actually, in almost every performance (including the one with Sierra), the cadenza isn't sung live. It's still incredibly impressive, but Sierra wasn't singing those notes live.
I do think this one is sung live. Since she was sick, you can hear her shattered breathing very well, and this is way too synchronized with her mouth to be a recording. I'm pretty sure this was not a recording, but in other performances it sure was. I may be totally wrong though
Zoe Anderton actually, I think most of them sing all the parts except the high E because in some where the quality isn't that good you barely hear the notes until the the high E kicks in and the volume is always more high
That performance wasn't a show it was at the Brit awards and I've heard that she sung live for this and the 25th anniversary show but it is recorded for regular shows.
SoHyun sounded like she was having a bad day, her vibrato was so slow and she seemed a semitone higher- unless that’s just how she sings, then that sucks 😭
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.
A Korean person in another comment said she had vocal nodules at the time from performing Jekyll and Phantom of the Opera at the same time and she looked young at the time.
Rebecca Caine ("Maine", in the video) had the right notes and the eeriness in her voice that went along with the mood of the story line that was associated with The Phantom of the Opera, in my opinion.
@@belarusbraginski8817 I wouldn't say she was bad, that's just kind of rude. She did have very little vibrato, but the notes were still very clear and weren't sharp or flat So I would definitely say it's not exactly right to say she was "bad" just because she didn't have much vibrato
Belarus Braginski she wasn’t really that bad for being 17, most of these woman have had years of doing this while Emmy was only a kid. I am so surprised that she could hit that at such a young kid while most of these woman took years and years of practice. Let’s not get too judgmental
I agree man. I mean, dude, Sierra's vibrato on that E6? it's just insane. Nicole makes it seem so fucking easy. And Emmy has a light tone on her voice that gives the song a nice touch.
I'm so glad Tarja Turunen was included in this list, I know that her genre is totally subversive for the typical Phantom audience but she did a really good job in that performance
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.
And now another Nightwish singer has recorded it: Floor Jansen and Henk Poort. Using the Nightwish metal arrangement, I might add. ua-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/v-deo.html Floor ends on D 6 but holds it for a solid eight count.
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. 😭
you should watch her performance of Don't Cry for me Aregentina!! Its spectacular, and most wouldn't expect it from her cause shes known as a pop singer
Mister Golightly Eh. When she takes a breath, her shoulders go up. This improper breathing technique and weakens the breath support. I can hear this as well. The first thing you should be taught as a singer is proper breath support.
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.
Scherzinger began performing in Louisville, attending the Youth Performing Arts School at duPont Manual High School, and performing with Actors Theatre of Louisville. 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.
Sarah Turner her vibrato was unbelievably slow...which is what made it sound like it was so sharp. I’m not whether that was just bad control on her part or perhaps that’s just her natural vibrato (that she was unlucky enough to be born with😂)
in the movie emmy rossum. hits a B5 and a Eb6 not a C5 and E6- they must've modulated up a key. therefore she sounds flat because her voice has been modulated up a key.
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..
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.
It seems that a lot of directors are forgetting about the fact that "Phantom of the Opera" is a ROCK-Opera at the first place and thus they are skipping guitars in this climax/solo. Also 7:40 why did he grab her tit?
@@googleuser2874 what do you mean? Are saying you like the orchestras without the guitars in them, or the orchestra's with guitars but done well? Because in most of the performances there's guitars.
@@krys_chan The original staged version didn't have as much electric guitar, or at least not as overpowering as they are in the newer versions. This video was supposed to be more "rock" so they added more electric guitar, but the original staged version didn't have it as much.
@@andkyrmar Can you read? He clearly said "everyone *here* except for Ramin ". He is talking about the Phantoms in this video and he is right. Everyone sucks but Ramin, get over it ROFL
essenceofman thanks, the obsessed Rierra fanboys/girls are so annoying - any trained singer could tell you both have serious flaws, both have voices unsuited to the role and that there are far better Christines and Phantoms out there!
I have to say, some of these girls sound like car alarms. I don't know if it's the audio or my ears but...I'm sure they're great in other places, though! And not to say that I could have done better (no way in hell)
Sierra is my favourite by far. Nicole is a close second because it's just not something you expect from her and did an amazing job with limited training.
I like a few of them (In no order in particular): Lisa-Anne Wood Nicole Scherzinger Sierra Boggess Emmy Rossum Sarah Brightman And I see the comment section being flooded with Sierra, she was great, but I just want to say that whoever can hit the final note properly deserves applause. All of the renditions were good!!
I've heard that in the Broadway performances the last note was dubbed... which isn't cheating but safer for her voice to not have to sing a note that could damage the vocal cords every night. Anyone else hear of this?
@@melissam597 My guess is it is the whole run of notes are prerecorded... You are right the whole end is pretty killer, not just the last note. Ha, I knew a lady who was in a traveling tour of Phantom one time, wish I had asked her!
@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.
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.
Just saw the INCREDIBLE tour in Baltimore too. The night I went Christine was facing the audience. I've heard the same thing about lipsyncing the note and they will turn around at the end.
Guys, there was a typo; Rebecca's last name is Caine not Maine, and Anna O'Byrne is actually Tamara Kotova, sorry!

Charles P. Franklin can only sopranos hit those notes or something ?
Elizabeth while it isn’t impossible for a different voice type to hit it, sopranos for the most part are the only people who can hit these notes.

djsaxby It is a very complex song. It could have been a bad night for her. Some of these girls have to do this 8 times a week twice a day. Yes she may have struggled a little. I’m just saying it was kind of rude how you phrased it. If you don’t have something nice to say don’t say it at all.
That thumbnail is terifying

Fucking looks like a ghost
It looks like Elmo in fire

Looks like the cover of a fanfic
What the hell was happening at 3:18 THAT WASNT OPERA THAT WAS A METAL BAND
Not just a metal band - this is Nightwish
Don't judge me!
Nightwish covered it years ago - the current vocalist did an amazing version on Beste Zangers, a dutch show (the current vocalist is Dutch)
The Musical isn't an opera but musical theatre. Opera is entirely different from the singing in the musicals (which would be at best "classical singing")
Honestly! It felt like a really bad acid trip while trying to listen to Phantom! 😂
2:40 her vibrato was too slow, it felt awkward lol
MITCHELL WIGGS ye
Idk why but everytime I read comments about this, I laugh so hard
I think it's a wobble...weird style 😂
I don't mind the vibrato, but it was a bit annoying how she kept SLOWLY shifting off pitch.
@@shortbean0 her vibrato was really off and she looked like she was running out of breath and losing control of it
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. Some of those girls sounded like pitchy car alarms with how much vibrato they were using. And mentioning pitch, Rebecca managed her breath well, so she didn't have that issue like a few of these girls had.
Emimilykity now I can't "unhear" the pitchy car alarm🙁🙁🙁
I agree.
Hell yeah
Rebecca Caine has always been exceptionally good
I noticed that. I thought she's the best out of all of them by quite a long shot
I can hit these notes but I sound more like a teakettle than an opera singer...
That means you have a whistle register, it’s very cool and rare

Nice
Oml same
SAME!
@@melissam597 I sound like a 5 y old if I try high notes ._.
For me Sarah Brightman will always be the best, she IS the angel of music, that song was literally made for her. Also, the most beautiful version of hers is the one from "Symphony live in Vienna" she even hits higher notes asjdhkasdj
and btw, that performance of Sierra.. She was really sick at that time, so it amazes me even more that she hit those notes so perfectly!
Aubrey Posen actually, in almost every performance (including the one with Sierra), the cadenza isn't sung live. It's still incredibly impressive, but Sierra wasn't singing those notes live.
I do think this one is sung live. Since she was sick, you can hear her shattered breathing very well, and this is way too synchronized with her mouth to be a recording. I'm pretty sure this was not a recording, but in other performances it sure was.
I may be totally wrong though
Zoe Anderton actually, I think most of them sing all the parts except the high E because in some where the quality isn't that good you barely hear the notes until the the high E kicks in and the volume is always more high
Mister Golightly the high e is normally pre-recorded just because it's too strenuous to do 8 shows a week
That performance wasn't a show it was at the Brit awards and I've heard that she sung live for this and the 25th anniversary show but it is recorded for regular shows.
Sierra boggess more like Sierra goddess
Yes yes, she is definitely my favourite of all of them!
Save the best 'till last.
Yesssss!
Yeees ♡
SoHyun sounded like she was having a bad day, her vibrato was so slow and she seemed a semitone higher- unless that’s just how she sings, then that sucks 😭
I feel like she was losing breathe control. Maybe if she pumped in more air before hitting the note, she would've been fine.
She's actually really good, that was just a really terrible clip of her
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.
@@Rude_i_Wredne wow you're smart af
A Korean person in another comment said she had vocal nodules at the time from performing Jekyll and Phantom of the Opera at the same time and she looked young at the time.
Rebecca Caine ("Maine", in the video) had the right notes and the eeriness in her voice that went along with the mood of the story line that was associated with The Phantom of the Opera, in my opinion.
I give kudos to anyone who can even hit that E6
e6s arent high though
@@sanaindap9248 icraveattention.com
Its actually an F6. 😊
notheyaren'te6strulyaren'thighnotlookingforsomeonetosayimsoamazingnowjustsayingwhatithink.com
Honeslty same I try and hit it and my Mom comes in my room and thinks I'm having a heart attack
Ok, Nicole Scherzinger is absolutely amazing. Wow!
And she was sick or something during that performance!
Natasha Sarin I didn’t know she sang Phantom until now
Right? I knew she could sing but damn!
@@Woichhoart same, but not like THAT!
she's SO GOOD
I’m sorry I just can’t look at the original without laughing
V trashy same-
dear phandom, please forgive me
V trashy me tooo
Please explain.
Will the Man It just has that 90s cheese to it
Your picture is what I’m listening to right now
The original music video is so 80’s and cracked out, I kinda love it
Yea
Most refreshing- Emmy Rossum
Most clean/crisp- Nicole S
Most unique and one of my favorite- Sarah B
Best overall- Sierra Boggess
Sa'Daiveon Newell Emmy was bad. there was no vibrato
@@belarusbraginski8817 I wouldn't say she was bad, that's just kind of rude. She did have very little vibrato, but the notes were still very clear and weren't sharp or flat
So I would definitely say it's not exactly right to say she was "bad" just because she didn't have much vibrato
667th like lol
Belarus Braginski she wasn’t really that bad for being 17, most of these woman have had years of doing this while Emmy was only a kid. I am so surprised that she could hit that at such a young kid while most of these woman took years and years of practice. Let’s not get too judgmental
Tae Taericeu Yeah I guess so.
In my opinion:
1. Sierra
2. Nicole
3. Emmy
I agree man.
I mean, dude, Sierra's vibrato on that E6? it's just insane. Nicole makes it seem so fucking easy. And Emmy has a light tone on her voice that gives the song a nice touch.
michaelwashere wow , same with my choice. No 1 and 2.
Plus Emmy was only 17 when it was filmed!!
Emmy? She wasn’t good
You mean Emmi
I'm so glad Tarja Turunen was included in this list, I know that her genre is totally subversive for the typical Phantom audience but she did a really good job in that performance
Ogm tarja is good, who is she sing with?
Adriana Vera She was the vocalist for a band called nightwish up until 2005. I’m pretty sure she just does solo stuff now
This is the 2nd time I'm watching this and I'm actually really getting into her performance this time. I thought it was pretty good.
But it is transposed a third or something down.
Adriana Vera with Marco Hietala, the bassist of the band!
Rebecca Caine! The way she connected those first two C6 notes ugh! Yes! 😍
my favourite will always be Sierra, but Nicole was amazing (for a singer typically performing pop)
Nicole was classically trained. She belongs in musical theatre.
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.
sierra is my favorite
Sierra is so talented, she is simply the best.
sergio vela oh yup
sergio vela by far
Yeah. No contest. She's also the best Fantine in "Les Mis" (Anne Hathaway is right up there with her).
Her acting and vocal capability is unbeatable
I love how the Nightwish version is just plopped in there 🤣
oh my god THANK you for dropping the name of that band, that was awesome and I need more
I actually believed for many years that The Phantom Of The Opera was an original Nightwish song.
What is Nightwish?
And now another Nightwish singer has recorded it: Floor Jansen and Henk Poort. Using the Nightwish metal arrangement, I might add.
ua-cam.com/video/plCScjvDOJM/v-deo.html
Floor ends on D 6 but holds it for a solid eight count.
Bro, it was because of this video that I checked the Nightwish version out
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. 😭
Many of them were quite good. I will say this... Nicole was the biggest surprise to me.
Carl Michaels Emmy's better
you should watch her performance of Don't Cry for me Aregentina!! Its spectacular, and most wouldn't expect it from her cause shes known as a pop singer
I like Nicole too and she sang love never dies good as well and a fair judge too on x factor 😀
Carl Michaels Same here. I would have never expected that out of Nicole but wow, she did amazing.
Nicole was lip syncing Emmy Rossum's version in that particular performance.
The squeaky floor board I stepped on at 2AM while everybody is trying to sleep.

This comment deserves waaayyyyyyy more likes
I don't know about you guys but I'm into the performance of Audrey Proulx until I see the guy's god-awful mask LOL!!
Mister Golightly i laughed so hard😂😂
Mister Golightly His mask matched his acting.
Mister Golightly Eh. When she takes a breath, her shoulders go up. This improper breathing technique and weakens the breath support. I can hear this as well. The first thing you should be taught as a singer is proper breath support.
I didn't said she was good lol. She also thins a lot while she gets higher
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
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.
I absolutely love
Sarah Brightman
Rebecca Caine
Celinde Shoenmaker
Emmy Rossum
Nicole Scherzinger impressed me
Sierra Boggess is the best!!!!
Scherzinger began performing in Louisville, attending the Youth Performing Arts School at duPont Manual High School, and performing with Actors Theatre of Louisville. 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.
Sarah basically just screamed
Taylor Ann Nicole was also sick while singing this!
Kim So-Hyun was awful, I'm sorry. Her vibrado was WAY off... She was a whole step above for most of the sustained notes. Jeez.
Sarah Turner I completely agree
Sarah Turner ikr
Sarah Turner her vibrato was unbelievably slow...which is what made it sound like it was so sharp. I’m not whether that was just bad control on her part or perhaps that’s just her natural vibrato (that she was unlucky enough to be born with😂)
Also could she have deep throated that microphone any further? That shows lack of power right there.
Sarah Turner her vibrato was so slooooowwwww
I WAS SINGING ALONG AND I ACCIDENTALLY HIT IT WTF
flying wigs congrats! That’s really hard to do! Just be safe w ur voice up there👏👏
Check your balls: if they're still there, you're fine.
Wow. My teacher at my old school got mad at me for singing really high pitched which was really funny
Ahaha 😂 careful though, make sure you take care of your voice if you plan on singing it more often. Don’t wanna get vocal nodes!
I have a natural high-pitched voice, and I can’t hit the note, haha. 😂
in the movie emmy rossum. hits a B5 and a Eb6 not a C5 and E6- they must've modulated up a key. therefore she sounds flat because her voice has been modulated up a key.
To me, she still sounds really enchanting and eerie. I love how she sounded in the movie
i wish i can hit that note..
wat a voice!
ameen boy Train
I can barely go above the main chorus line, so I don't even bother wishing lol
ameen boy ive hit it a couple times, but it always kills my voice after 😭 on flute it's the f above the staff
Im a bass. I can do that with enormous strain😂
I can hit those notes, it just sounds terrible
I was not expecting that metal one.
Styxx Rivier haha same. but let's take it positive man. it reminds us of how good the professional sopranos are in this clip.
Li Haotong Tarja Turunen is a professional soprano; I think she worked at the opera before
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..
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.
KoreanMusicSubs haha, i can tell from her high E. heavey voice cord with strong breath support? more like a female version of dramatic tenor?? :)
Can we pause for a moment and acknowledge that Antonio freakin' Banderas made a perfect Phantom?!?!
rrrrrr and he mad good vampir
He was good. You should see him in Evita.
He was the original Phantom in the movie, but it never happened. I would have loved to see it.
I mean Pam almost blew up a hospital room because of him
Remember when people were like "oh god if they make a Phantom movie with Antonio Banderas it'll be so terrible"?
and then the Monkey's Paw closed....
Rebecca Caine is by far one of the best technicians, her voice is just incredible
The original is creepy af...
1:57 what is that mask lmaoooo
A paper plate skskdnfb
It looks like it's just floating on his face. He's not even singing so why not make it look good?
FINALLY someone talks about it
Emmy Rossum will always be my favourite Christine, but that's because this was the first film I ever saw that got me into Opera :D
DrakenH0rse Same except it got me into musical theatre lol!!! 💙
Phantom of the Opera isn't an opera- but I'm glad it got you interested in opera! :)
same
Same
same here
No one is mentioning Nicole. Nicole sounded amazing. So supported and powerful. I also think obviously Sierra did a phenomenal job.
agreed! Nicole is so good!
It seems that a lot of directors are forgetting about the fact that "Phantom of the Opera" is a ROCK-Opera at the first place and thus they are skipping guitars in this climax/solo.
Also 7:40 why did he grab her tit?
It's not a rock opera, it's a musical with one rock number. And the guitars suck in it, it just drowns out the singing.
@@googleuser2874 if it's done wrong, I agree. But most of the time if the guitars are played right it really adds to it.
@@krys_chan I like the original orchestrations better.
@@googleuser2874 what do you mean? Are saying you like the orchestras without the guitars in them, or the orchestra's with guitars but done well? Because in most of the performances there's guitars.
@@krys_chan The original staged version didn't have as much electric guitar, or at least not as overpowering as they are in the newer versions. This video was supposed to be more "rock" so they added more electric guitar, but the original staged version didn't have it as much.
There should be a compilation of the worst "SING FOR ME!" because I think everyone here except for Ramin Karimloo would be on that list
Matthew Lee I’m going to guess your ‘first’ phantom was Ramin, via the 25th anniversary and you’ve never seen a RUG performance of the show.
excuse you Antonio Banderas, Michael Crawford and that heavy metal dude exist
@@andkyrmar Can you read? He clearly said "everyone *here* except for Ramin ". He is talking about the Phantoms in this video and he is right. Everyone sucks but Ramin, get over it ROFL
essenceofman thanks, the obsessed Rierra fanboys/girls are so annoying - any trained singer could tell you both have serious flaws, both have voices unsuited to the role and that there are far better Christines and Phantoms out there!
Tatsh they haven't seen a live RUG show. And neither have you 🤷🏻♂️
Sarah Brightman and Sierra Boggess
Sierra Bogges is a looser.....haha....watch netflix now
Lol Sierra Boggess is a loser
I personally liked the techniques used by Sierra and Olivia. I also really enjoyed their vibrato.
August N Virgo isn’t that BURGESS
no one:
The Sopranos during warm up:
I have to say, some of these girls sound like car alarms. I don't know if it's the audio or my ears but...I'm sure they're great in other places, though! And not to say that I could have done better (no way in hell)
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
YES! I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!
OH GOD I CAN'T UNHEAR IT NOW
I’m so glad Tarja was included. Any other Nightwish fans out there?
Up m here hh
I wouldn’t call myself a fan, but I have been listening to some of their music
Here!!
me too
I really like Nightwish. However, I prefer Dreams of Sanity & Tilo Wolff's version.
Me, a mezzo soprano: **nervously sweating**
He really said f*** those other people sitting next to Raoul when he cut that chandelier, huh
Sierra is my favourite by far. Nicole is a close second because it's just not something you expect from her and did an amazing job with limited training.
Nicole has been trained to sing opera really
Nicole was classically trained.
Nicole is far better than Sierra imo.
I attended the high school for the performing arts with Nicole and can tell you she's trained!
I like a few of them (In no order in particular):
Lisa-Anne Wood
Nicole Scherzinger
Sierra Boggess
Emmy Rossum
Sarah Brightman
And I see the comment section being flooded with Sierra, she was great, but I just want to say that whoever can hit the final note properly deserves applause. All of the renditions were good!!
I loved Rebecca Caine for some reason
xxTalkLessxx - Angelica Schuyler me 😉
My favorite was Nicole
Dang, no one mentioned Gina Beck and I’m kinda sad about it, she’s so good! Not just here but her final lair is so incredible.
When you stub your toe at the edge of the table
Hahahahahhhaha
I've heard that in the Broadway performances the last note was dubbed... which isn't cheating but safer for her voice to not have to sing a note that could damage the vocal cords every night. Anyone else hear of this?
I never understood that logic because she does just one note down 3 times prior, unless all the high notes are mimed?!
@@melissam597 My guess is it is the whole run of notes are prerecorded... You are right the whole end is pretty killer, not just the last note. Ha, I knew a lady who was in a traveling tour of Phantom one time, wish I had asked her!
@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.
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.
Just saw the INCREDIBLE tour in Baltimore too. The night I went Christine was facing the audience. I've heard the same thing about lipsyncing the note and they will turn around at the end.
my girl sierra will always be my favourite. shes amazing, especially with ramin
Ramin will always be my favorite Phantom
CoolwithaKatie I had to make a point of telling Ramin he was my favorite when I meet him at the Anastasia stage door.
CoolwithaKatie same. Ramin is my favorite Phantom and Sierra is my favorite Christine
My favorite Christine and Phantom
Sarah Brightman seemed to sing it effortlessly and naturally
