      Okay, so I have to remember that it's always easy to poke fun at something and much harder to create something. I do notice that this video shows off the difference between a singer and a classically trained singer: compared with Sarah Brightman, Steve Harley's voice pales.

      Some of the visuals are really good, yes, especially the first 30 seconds or so. After that it gets a bit weird - maybe I'm not making enough allowance for it being a music video, but goodness, 1:18 looks like someone's having a seizure (sorry). And yep, Raoul's hair and stunned-puppy expression crack me up.
      I actually like the lyrics! Maybe because it's fun listening to lyrics which I haven't known by heart for years, but either way, I enjoy it.

      @@Julia-lk8jn I know I'm like a year late, but it's literally because it's a music video. Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford are classically trained actors. Every action is dramatic, expressive, and leaves no room for interpretation of their emotions so everyone from the nosebleeds to the front row can see and understand perfectly. It's a skill, and I love the way it looks up close, but I suppose it's entirely subjective.
      I am honestly surprised how many people think it's cringe. Growing up in theatre programs, directing musicals, and acting in them, all I see are really good actors who are deep in their roles. I think it's wonderful.

When I was a kid it was the coolest thing I had ever seen, and now as an adult I can appreciate it even more as some of the most sincere camp I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

      The term "camp" comes from the camp followers, who were young men who followed the army of the Roman Empire to perform entertainments and sexual favors for the soldiers. Thus, camp in showbiz means something made to expressly appeal to homosexuals.
      It's arguably the most misused word in the English language, since people think it means "kitschy" or something that is meant to seem cheap or not very well-made. Adam West went on at some length in his autobiography about how he despised the word "campy" in relation to the _Batman_ T.V. series.
      They know what "camp" means in the U.K., e.g. the _Round the Horne_ characters Julian and Sandy, _Are You Being Served's_ Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries, and the sitcom _Vicious._

      1:46 - Phantom’s wondering the same thing…that pause of his probably had a few lines that he dropped from fear when he saw a freakin’ SNAKE in his dungeon.
      The zoom in is just Erik’s fight or flight instincts kicking kn.
      2:27 - that little dance was actually live footage of him begging for help once he saw the snake…the moment right after is him noticing the second snake. Then he screamed and they actually took that and dubbed it in for Christine’s final note.
      Phantom’s neck is tense because there’s snakes in his lair and a rodent on Raul’s head and our boy Erik is just STRESSED right now ok.

    Plot twist: Christine is actually the phantom, she doesn’t blink therefore he cannot run and is forced to sing with her

    So it’s goofy as fuck, yeah, with Christine sounding like a 1980’s Sloane Ranger, and the Phantom not so much singing as rhythmically gasping, but there’s also some really cool things. Like, for example, now we know what the Phantom’s full mask would have looked like when it still was that. And Christine’s singing higher and higher as part of an actual opera performance, only to have the last high note stand in for a scream is honestly really cool and gives a lot of context to why it’s written that way.

    I love Sarah Brightman's Christine. I just love how "out of it" she looks. I also love how soft her voice is when hitting high notes, but it's quite deep when she's singing calmly.

      Yeah, I really love the kind of soft and floaty way she hits the notes. It doesn't sound very powerful which some people complain about, but in my view that just adds to the haunting atmosphere.

    1:06 Apparently they directed Harley to sing as if he's on the verge of a massive stroke. Either that, or someone is inside him controlling him with levers. Nothing else on the planet can explain that performance.
