This movie deserved better reviews. Emmy Rossum's voice is absolutely amazing. The acting and the story was great too. You can just feel the music in your heart.
While I do agree to this, you must first consider something. Emmy Rossum, when filming this movie, was 17. Sarah Brightman and Sierra Boggess have had much more time to grow their voices and to make them stronger.
Sierra was better in general, but Emmy's coloratura ending to this is just perfect and completely blows any other performance out of the water. It's because she's opera trained. This is my favorite version simply because of that, although sierra's voice is better. Funny fact, Emmy was 16/17 when they filmed this, that has to make you respect her even if you don't like her voice.
Seriously! What do people think this story is about, anyway? The Phantom is an insane murderer who impersonates an angel to gain the trust of an innocent young girl who he kidnaps, and then, when he loses that trust, pretends to be her dead father to win it back, all while threatening her fiance's life. Raoul is a patron of the arts and Christine's childhood sweetheart, who adores her, wants to see her happy, lets her make her own decisions, and tries to protect her from harm. Easy choice!
I will never stop loving Phantom of the Opera....I first watched this film when I was 9 years old. I love lots of different types of music now, but Phantom is still my favourite book, film, musical, everything. I love it.
She sounds like a beautiful human songbird. She sings so well! oh and by the time i get idk im going to try to know all the words to the phantom of the opera. If possible. Every line to idk...all songs, speech etc.! i love it that much!
I love Andre and Firman's faces when Christine starts singing - they're like "What? A chorus girl can sing like that?" I love them in this film altogether; I think they're the best ones in it!
Well, I feel that in this movie musical they wanted Christine to be an innocent girl. So getting someone with a less powerful voice gives that innocence...
my brother steve died of motor neoron dease his daughter age 8 chose this to be played at his funeral i will always love him, he is always in my dreams rest in peace love always your sister deb xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I sang this for my school choir. :3 I loved how freely I could use my vocal range in this but nothing can compare to the feeling of this song sung by this wonderful lady. ^///^
I know! I freakin' love Raoul! I hate how everybody hates him and stuff, it's not fair. I mean, he was just trying to do what was best for Christine, he didn't want her to get hurt because he loved her to much! Phantom had killed, what, 3 people? What does that say exactly? Yeah... I'm Team Raoul, I'm proud to be it! I seriously wish nobody would hate on someone just because they like him...
Christie And Raoul, and the beautiful Phantom,, oh how i love this movie, i saw the second stage play Love Never Dies.. beautiful,,,, but would have loved to have seen the original Phantom.. how magical it must have been, i' m a big closet fan, of opera and plays, well ,. not so much a closet, because i just came out of one..
The first time I heard this song was in school in music class and it wad good the the whole time I got thus damm song in my head an I ccouldt stop thinking about it after that
Everyone feels for the phantom but let's be real, if yew were Christine and yew had to choose between the first and only guy you ever loved and a deformed, creepy, stalker, murderer; who would yew choose? Everybody feels for the Phantom, the story is written in that manner. But he was never ment to be loved, perhaps if he had worked harder to be celebrated instead of feared..but he was too worried about losing the only thing he ever loved to think rationally. Love does that to people..
strange, because i never had this happen to me for a film - at first i thought emmy rossum wasn't pretty enough to play christine, then i watched it again, years later, only to think i must have been out of my mind because she's really beautiful. .
I actually dont like opera:D but Christine make me feel warm inside when she sings:) She has a beautiful voice. But Raoul is cute:D And he has a beautiful voice 2:D
I love all the movies, the play, but the book is just so awesome! Yes, all of movies and the plays were based on the book by Gaston Leroux. Read it, it's a page turner!
this is the song that inspired my voice, now i'm getting a lot of positive remarks from people who hate me for no reason.........LOVE YOU RAOUL! YOU TOO PHANTOM!!!!!
I agree with her as well. I can also sing those notes, and hold them for some time as well. I personally think Emmy did a good job, but Sarah Brightman is the origional who most look to. All of them are beautiul and talented ladies who bring excellent music to the world. :)
Your niece appears to be a very intelligent fair child, that was an ever so lovely gesture, these lyrics are very precious. I also think your love for your brother seems very special I have always admired brotherly love, to be honest I think is one of the most precious things, a brother loved like that is indeed a special thing: I only wish I had such relationship and hope I can attain something very similar in love.
there actually is a sequel its called "Love Never Dies"... its not a movie but there is a stage musical called "Love Never Dies" that is a sequel to "The Phantom Of The Opera" you could probably find a movie version of the stage production though
I like Sarah and Emmy equally. It is your own OPINION if you don't care for Emmy's singing. Others have different opinions and yours should not influence theirs.
when i first saw this movie i thought it was going to be boring but when my teacher told we only had about a minute left in class so she was going to turn it off i almost screamed and broke down crying i love this movie so much exspesaly this part and the very ending
Team Edward vs Team Jacob implies there's a correct choice to be made. (Never thought about it but I guess I'd say Jacob? Since he doesn't beat the crap out of you.) Phantom of The Opera is so glorious and complicated: there isn't a "correct" or even "wrong" answer. So please, stop with the "team..." crap.
that's right. Erik is cruel, but just because people where cruel for him. he doesen't know what is right or wrong... All he knows is that if person is not normal, others will be acting to u like u r not a person at all. I think I would be with Erik, because he needs help.
yes but the phantom is just so...Attractive, not against Raoul at all, but I'm team phantom for sure. All the things he did was because he loved Christine, (not saying that murdering is okay.) and because he was treated so badly, and she was the only one who understood, so of course he loved her, but his idea of love was so twisted that he thought the only way for Christine to be his was through murdering, and in the end the reason why he lets her go is because he put her happiness above his own
Also considering she was only 17 or 18 when they made this movie, her performance is really impressive. :)
This movie deserved better reviews. Emmy Rossum's voice is absolutely amazing. The acting and the story was great too. You can just feel the music in your heart.
i love how christine looks very pretty, yet sorta simple,not that much overload of makeup, great dress etc etc
While I do agree to this, you must first consider something. Emmy Rossum, when filming this movie, was 17. Sarah Brightman and Sierra Boggess have had much more time to grow their voices and to make them stronger.
I like both Sierra and Emmy, they are both great as Christine.
She sounds like a beautiful human songbird. She sings so well!
I would like to take this moment to put aside our opinions about the phantom and raoul and just say how spectacular this movie is!!!
Sierra was better in general, but Emmy's coloratura ending to this is just perfect and completely blows any other performance out of the water. It's because she's opera trained.

This version is my favorite! Emmy has such a pretty voice

i really love emmy's version of christine.. she sounds truly angelic..
Who cares? Christine Daae outshines all of them!
Every-time Christine hits that beautiful high notes I get chills XDD
my brother steve died of motor neoron dease his daughter age 8 chose this to be played at his funeral i will always love him, he is always in my dreams rest in peace love always your sister deb xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Phantom of the Opera CAN'T be compared to Twilight. POTO is too... awesome. (No offense Twilight lovers)
I sang this for my school choir. :3 I loved how freely I could use my vocal range in this but nothing can compare to the feeling of this song sung by this wonderful lady. ^///^
Her voice is amazing! I love this movie and I just watched it for the first time 2 days ago!!
Me- Yeah, I can sing this
*Attempts to sing*
*Fails*
Me again- okay, so maybe no one can sing as good as her.
One of my favorite movies ever!!!

I just get chills whenever I hear her sing
I cannot listen to this without getting goosebumps.
WOW! her voice, it's AMAZING! i wish i had that voice!
I know, right? Schumacher directed this film! The guy that ruined Batman in the 90´s!
And didn't u love "Love never dies" too? Beautiful!
I know! I freakin' love Raoul! I hate how everybody hates him and stuff, it's not fair. I mean, he was just trying to do what was best for Christine, he didn't want her to get hurt because he loved her to much! Phantom had killed, what, 3 people? What does that say exactly? Yeah... I'm Team Raoul, I'm proud to be it! I seriously wish nobody would hate on someone just because they like him...
My first kiss was done watching this movie...Wow. Brings back memories....

Everyone feels for the phantom but let's be real, if yew were Christine and yew had to choose between the first and only guy you ever loved and a deformed, creepy, stalker, murderer; who would yew choose?

I don't agree with everyone saying that sarah bright man was a much better Christine than Emmy rossum.
there actually is a sequel its called "Love Never Dies"... its not a movie but there is a stage musical called "Love Never Dies" that is a sequel to "The Phantom Of The Opera" you could probably find a movie version of the stage production though
BEAUTIFUL!
She's gorgeous, she sings like an angel. I. Am. Jealous.
This is not twlight please leve all teams behind.
I'm going to be singing this for my chorus talent show. please pray for me. I'm 12 and i love this song and phantom of the opera
Have you heard Sarah in Repo! The Genetic Opera? :D Or when she sings Phantom of the Opera with Antonio Benderas. She's awesome. :)
I can never get enough of this.**
I love this movie!!! Anybody else wish they grew up at the Opera Populair? (Sorry if I spelled that wrong :-P)
I wish I could sing as good as she does :D
I like Sarah and Emmy equally. It is your own OPINION if you don't care for Emmy's singing. Others have different opinions and yours should not influence theirs.
Princess Sissi of Austria :)....
when i first saw this movie i thought it was going to be boring but when my teacher told we only had about a minute left in class so she was going to turn it off i almost screamed and broke down crying i love this movie so much exspesaly this part and the very ending
Good voice!
haha why all the raoul hate? he's actually a good person... :P
Team Edward vs Team Jacob implies there's a correct choice to be made. (Never thought about it but I guess I'd say Jacob? Since he doesn't beat the crap out of you.)
Phantom of The Opera is so glorious and complicated: there isn't a "correct" or even "wrong" answer.
So please, stop with the "team..." crap.
Thank you for all the videos I love them. :)
I love POTO. It's such an awesome musical.
Its not about whose better... as long as the music flows in them they are all the same
Truer words were never spoken. :D
Beautiful this film . I like it .
Plot twist: She remembers you.
hhahha! I don't care what he listens to, but 113 did care
that's right. Erik is cruel, but just because people where cruel for him. he doesen't know what is right or wrong... All he knows is that if person is not normal, others will be acting to u like u r not a person at all. I think I would be with Erik, because he needs help.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND I LOVE EMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love this movie i just love it and i saw this movie when i was young i still love it
Love it.
im 100% Team Phantom/Erik
yes but the phantom is just so...Attractive, not against Raoul at all, but I'm team phantom for sure. All the things he did was because he loved Christine, (not saying that murdering is okay.) and because he was treated so badly, and she was the only one who understood, so of course he loved her, but his idea of love was so twisted that he thought the only way for Christine to be his was through murdering, and in the end the reason why he lets her go is because he put her happiness above his own
Think of how awesome Christine's voice is compared to Carlotta's!
