I've seen the Phantom several times with several Phantoms and Brad Little is by far the best. His voice is perfect for both Phantom and Rauol and I am so blessed to have seen him in person.
Brad was the first Phantom I saw live, back when I was like...14 or 15. I'm 35 now, and he's still a personal favorite. I remember getting his autograph and a hug, I was so happy ;;
Ahh...I remember little ol' me going to get his signature. He asked me what my name was, and I told it to him--it's Christine. ^^;; He look up at that and said, "Ohhhh..." XD
i like his little 't!' at the end of the song! :D sexy baritone phantom. i saw him in singapore two years back and he was awesome both on and offstage! :D
Thank you so very much. AT LAST a pretty good quality clip of Mr Little. Captures so much the passion and grace which he pours into all of his performances.
When I saw Phantom in 1997, Brad was the Phantom.. and I was totally blown out of the water... He's got an incredible voice... and awesome presence on stage.
Without a doubt he is a lyric baritone. This is what a real baritone soudns like and not those 'baritenors' that dominate much of musical theatre these days. Someone mentioned Anthony Warlow... He is a different animal. He is a god of voice and can sing either baritone or tenor. From a technical standpoint he does things I have never heard anyone else do. He can 'turn' as a baritone one song and then shift his passagio up a third and turn as a tenor. It is a freaky thing to behold.
@LadyPhanteana Brad was my first Phantom as well! And my second, and my third! I was lucky enough to meet him twice, and he was so kind, and patient, chatting with us and signing programs! It's wonderful to see him again!
Oh my god. I love love love Brad Little. I was supposed to see him in LA but it ended up he was sick and TMG understudied for him. TMG did a fair job, but I wanted Brad! This makes up for it, though. Thanks for the clip!
saw brad live as phantom on the HK POTO tour! it was amazing~! i saw him and the rest of the cast too..but sadly did not hav my camera OR pen and paper to ask for autographs or pictures...ah well. i hope that i can see POTO again. Sydney POTO this year was great too..but i forget who was phantom ^_^"
Oh yeah and btw he was apart of the singapore tour which they kept ana marina for when it went on to australia but gave little the chop in favour of anthony warlowe. :-)
Brad was the most amazing Phantom ever. His singing dynamic and acting ability are unparalelled. With soft buttery singing you simply get the music aspect in a very beneign way. The acting and emotional part of the Phantom is critical to conect audience with the story, impact, and music together. When Brad mocks Raul, or when he screams, it is pertinent. The Phantom in Vegas and in Southern California this year have been ok but uninspiring. Come back Brad.
Brad was my first Phantom...I had the pleasure to meet him too ! what a wonderful gentleman and how very talented he is. Best wishes to you Brad ! P.S. if I ever get to play Christine you still gonna be my Phantom? ;) (P.S. after the show I said I wanted to play the part of Christine someday and asked if he would be my Erik and he said yes !)
Hee looks like Elvis Presley from the side of his face.. Sings amazing.. The song really suits hus voice well. baritone is best fro this song, I think.
Coming from a LONG TIME (eg: since the 80's) fan of Michael Crawford... Brad Little is the only Phantom I've seen whom I can say is as good as (maybe even a little better than?) Michael. If he ever tours with POTO in the US again, I'll make a point of seeing him again.
"Also notice that Brad is only accompanied by a piano - that's all he needs versus the full orchestras that accompany most of the other versions here on youtube" Sorry, it does not work that way. If anything, singing with a small orchestra accompaniment can be more difficult. But back to the point, he is very seductive at times, which I liked. But after outside of that, it feels like he is yelling at me a bit. I just don't feel like the volume is appropriate for musicals, but still quite good.
What have i been saying... Baritones are better as Phantoms. Listen to him, he makes the Phantom sound enchanting yet like a man! He is a true Phantom along with other Baritones such as Earl, Howard and Anthony
There is no excuse for an amatuer performance. This wasn't a rendition, he just does not have the skill to add the layers this song needs. When Warlowe performs it in his concerts he still essentially tells the story with conviction which is the most important thing. This guy stands on stage and gives an amatuer wet blanket performance.
I saw Brad play the Phantom 3 different times. Very nice guy. I think he's a baritone, and in my opinion, the Phantom is best sung by a tenor, like Michael Crawford or Jason Hammond.
I've seen the Phantom several times with several Phantoms and Brad Little is by far the best. His voice is perfect for both Phantom and Rauol and I am so blessed to have seen him in person.
I saw Brad Little in my first Phantom viewing...never have forgotten that first wonderful experience.
I watched him perform in person several times years ago in New Orleans - he was born to sing this song! No one else I have heard compares.
Brad was the 1st Phantom I saw live! I saw him in the role twice. He is one of my favorite phantoms!
Brad was the first Phantom I saw live, back when I was like...14 or 15. I'm 35 now, and he's still a personal favorite. I remember getting his autograph and a hug, I was so happy ;;
Do you think it looks like Betty Boop or bimbo playing the piano in this part of the concert?
wow.. so perfect for his voice.. (it's rarely that can be said for this song).. Brilliant.
Definitely one of the top 5 Phantoms.
he sing a song like speaking..I so much love him..;)
Matt Cammelle has a competition here.
I saw Brad as the phantom in 1996. He sounds just as good now as he did then. He was my first phantom. I still get chills when I listen to him.
Ahh...I remember little ol' me going to get his signature. He asked me what my name was, and I told it to him--it's Christine. ^^;; He look up at that and said, "Ohhhh..." XD
One of the best Phantoms I've ever seen, and one of the nicest people I've ever met! His MOTN is unlike any other. Wonderful performance.
The best voice everrrrrrr!
i love him so much
Love his voice! I get chills everytime he starts singing.Sigh :)
I ADORE Brad Little
OMG
face expressions make him really unique
I listened to this songs more than 5times a day
omg. how can someone have that much control in his voice? awesome job
Saw him live back in 2003. I was just a wee lad back then, but I remembered how breath-taking he was and still is.
Everything is beautiful and touching.
Just watched him in Thailand. Amazinggggg.
Just watched him live- his voice is breathtaking. Absolutely beautiful.
아뭐야알고리즘뭐야 이어폰 꽂고있었는데 앙쪽 귀 뻥뚫림

I saw him he's so amazing!!
Fantastic Brad!!!..
Very beautiful voice!!!
Thank you so very much. AT LAST a pretty good quality clip of Mr Little. Captures so much the passion and grace which he pours into all of his performances.
I saw him in Shanghai and got his signature. ^^ He asked for my name--it's Christine.
I watched him twice.... He is the best phantom imo
There's a touch of mischievousness to this version. I really like it!
When I saw Phantom in 1997, Brad was the Phantom.. and I was totally blown out of the water... He's got an incredible voice... and awesome presence on stage.
Brad Little was my first Phantom when the tour came to Singapore! Was a magical experience.
Phantom of opera is my the best favorite musical and I loved phantom character the most.
So breathtaking!! So captivating!!
Tremulous and tender, indeed. Thanks for sharing!
I saw him play the Phantom on the US National Tour way back in September of 1997. Met him afterwards, too. He was incredibly nice:-)
I would just like to say that I'm willing to help Brad "make the music of the night" any time. Repeatedly.
브래드 씨 너무 잘해요.털털하고 스윗 한 성격 같애요.한국에 사니 뮤지컬 계의 큰 수확 이지요.

How interesting that I was introduced to this man thanks to the fact that one of my best friends is his niece. What a voice!
I always smile when i hear baritones singing as the phantom... there is still some hope for me!
I get to work with him in Sound of Music in Media PA for the next few months so excited, awesome guy.
@LadyPhanteana Brad was my first Phantom as well! And my second, and my third! I was lucky enough to meet him twice, and he was so kind, and patient, chatting with us and signing programs! It's wonderful to see him again!
His voice gave me goosebumps.....amazing ..
OMG!! I love his voice!! so sweet!! and his face expression!!
Wow! Saw him in the interview post. Didn't imagine he'd be THIS good! Great voice.. nice and deep, AND he can go high, too!
BEAUTIFUL!
Ooh! Thank you for the video!
I saw him several times as the Phantom and he is my absolute favorite! ^_^
He is great.
his voice is so hypnotic.
Simply tremendous!
Oh my god. I love love love Brad Little. I was supposed to see him in LA but it ended up he was sick and TMG understudied for him. TMG did a fair job, but I wanted Brad! This makes up for it, though. Thanks for the clip!

concertchoir57,
Brad Little has played the Phantom off and on since 1996. So, around thirteen years.
Charming and devilish
I saw him in St. Louis at the fox in 1998.
i love his eyebrows moment haha
O.O wooooooow. now i wanna see him wear the mask and cape
He played the Phantom the third time I saw it. Good stuff.
mbc 영상에 외국인들이 이리 많다니 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 하긴 뭐.. 대상이 빵형이니..
Interpretação maravilhosa!!
jmham1's not even kidding. Go listen to him. His voice is absolutely angelic - and his Phantom of the Bathroom definitely begs explanation. ;)
He didn't do this well when I watch him sing in Singapore yesterday. This one is beautiful...
Inspired!
holy phantom! i love him!
È bravissimo
Jeeeem,
I don't know if he played the role on Broadway or not. He played it in the Music Box production, which is one of the US National Tours.
toca demais o tecladista toca muito, e o canto é excelente nosso Deus!!!!
Oh yeah and btw he was apart of the singapore tour which they kept ana marina for when it went on to australia but gave little the chop in favour of anthony warlowe. :-)

Come back Brad.
Anyone else catch the adorable little eyebrow twitch during "only then can you belong to me" ??? HOT!
he is good.. 不錯的!
I love this song, show and video. But I could NOT take it seriously with the Korean subtitles whizzing by. XD

캬 젋다
NOTE = please allow thee to say ;
thy was extremely fortunate to have
been a understudy to that being him .

I hope it's not your last also! He just gets more wonderful every time. This was my 7th time seeing him, I've been stalking him for years. LOL.
True Baritone baby!

와 미쳤다..
Hey, I was there too! Wonderful, isn't he? Had you seen him before?
The Original!!!!!!!!!!! 👍
Oh dear. Both he and the pianist need to be informed about the concept of 'legato'. ASAP!
