The Mirror "I Am There Inside" Comparison
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- A comparison video of different Phantoms singing the lines, "Look at yourself in the mirror - I am there inside!" This is absolutely one of my favorite moments in the Phantom of the Opera, and I get chills every time I hear this.
Apologies if I don't have your Phantom here (I probably don't know him or I don't have any audio of him) or if I got a photo wrong (I don't recognize everyone by face.)
I don't own anything. All rights go to the respectful owners.
I should be doing homework but this is more important
I should've been reviewing for hours now but I've been caught up with these comparisons lmao
I'm multi tasking
It is
Was gonna like but seems like its not my first time😂
Indeed it is.
I have 8 assignments due in two days and all i've learnt is to look at my face in the mirror, he is there inside
Baritones make such great Phantoms. They are able to crescendo on 'inside' like most tenors can't.
Which ones are baritones?
@@Tymala1 Norm Lewis and Timothy Nolen (not in this) are the only two baritones. Most others are lyric baritones. Although, I think Jeremy Stolle and James Barbour might be baritones as well
Ben Lewis is a baritone. So is Gerard Butler.
11:54 was particularly nice
@@scotthamp384 Cooper grodin and ben Crawford as well if you exclude lyric baritones from this.

Hugh and Ramin will always be my favorites. The depth that Ramin sings with and somehow is able to paint a whole background for the phantom and I’ve always appreciated how Hugh always takes a playful and different approach
Would you believe that Hugh did not want to play the Phantom at first?

I love when when the organ plays behind “I am there inside.” Wish they would do that more often
It is a new instrumentation. It will be added more often. As of today, that organ is going to be playing. And I'm kind of glad, because I like it more than the original
When he does it strong Ramin is my favorite. Thomas Borchert blows my mind with how strong his voice is and Richard Todd Adams i actually saw live. He was incredible in the role. I will probably get flak for this but i also enjoy Gerard Butlers rendition as well.
Did he include ramin in third?
@@UnidentifiedGoldProductions Yes at 9:51
I also love Ramin's and Gerald's rendition! I really like it when it becomes clear and resonant. We're so blessed to have so many Phantoms to pick from!
I like Gerard’s as well. I love how loud and booming it is.
Why you will get flak for this? No way! Butler's phantom is one of the best....
What I’ve noticed about my favorites is that when they sing “I am there INSIDE!” They don’t have a vibrato. They don’t get all flashy with their voice. They just smoothly and gracefully go up with no flash…That makes them sound more dreamy and enchanting
So true
The horn part after “mirror” is so beautiful
Here are some that stood out to me:
10. Jeremy Stolle (11:42)
9. Anthony Warlow (2:25)
8. Ethan Freeman (1:49)
7. Ian Jon Bourg (4:09)
6. Earl Carpenter (8:06)

Alexander Lewis (10:52)
David Shannon (11:17)
James Barbour (14:06)
Ben Lewis (15:14)
Nice choices👏
Red Wiggle has the best voice eh
Usually when I listen the songs or what the movie, this line get stuck in my head for several hours after a long tracklist of many other good songs.
Now after 15min of only this line, I might be doomed for the week xD
Also very interesting and nice to hear them all !
At the end of every one of them
Phantom: look at your face in the mirror I am there inside.
Christine: aaaaaa
0:44 ... It seems like the phantom was surprised by his appearance in the mirror
"I am THERE ! inside..."
I love that part! It’s so dramatic! I always picture him saying “THERE!” And then pausing to make an intense almost comical face and then proceed in a comical way with his intense “IIIINNSIDE!”
I love Ramins so much. Gerard’s is also my favorite, I love the power and the open space he has while he’s singing, and overall love his tonal quality
So you like the two that are easiest access to watch... sure that's not why
Love Gerard Butler’s!
Raw power and emotion!
😍🔥🎭
i love how gentle he is in the beginning but then brings so much power in the end. he’s a brilliant phantom and i wish people wouldn’t dog on him so much. film is for good performance and emotion, gerard brings that. broadway is for good vocals. andrew understood that when he picked gerard.
Honestly, Michael Crawford had the best build up imo. He has a subtleness that draws you in, and the crescendo really nails it. Most others rely on vibrato to sell it, where he doesn't really need it to sell it, but he adds it towards the end of the note which I appreciate more than constant vibrato
Well said
Crawford sounds so natural, fresh AND fluid, he Is the Best.
Thank you for including Gerard in this
You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this
After seeing Ben Crawford live I have to say he is so pure and amazing.
Yeah I agree with you. I have seen Ben Crawford twice as the Phantom on Broadway and he is absolutely AMAZING. He is perfect for the role. I have also watched so many videos of his Phantom on TH-cam. He is just so pure and amazing as you said. He is my favorite Phantom. I like other Phantoms as well, but Ben Crawford is number one for me, he is just so good at what he does.
YES HE IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH!!!
This is absolutely one of my favorite parts of the show. It gets me every time.
Hands down, Ben Crawford is one of my favorites. There is just something so amazing about his voice!
I absolutely agree. Having seen him live as the Phantom on Broadway twice, plus watching a million videos of his Phantom on TH-cam, I can confidently say that Ben Crawford is my favorite Phantom. There is something so amazing about his voice as you said. Hopefully I can see him again play the Phantom soon.
The ones that stood out to me the most were :
- Hugh Panaro !!!!!!!!
- Anthony warlo
- John Owen jones
- ben lewis
- earl carpenter
Honourable mentions:
- Ramin Karimloo
- Gerard butler
- Alexander lewis
- Ethan freeman
- Jeremy stolle
Thank you for including some of the Polish and Russian Phantoms in your list as well ❤ i have watched tons and tons of comparative videos (of different musicals) and not many people give any thought to include them, on the contrary a lot of people stop at broadway/west end and they don't go for the effort of actually presenting actors other than the well-known handfull. Cheers from Poland ❤
Michael Crawford just has the perfect mix of strong masculine with eerie spookiness. THEE phantom!!
Michael Crawford, Colm Wilkinson, Howard McGillin, Hugh Panaro, Saulo Vasconcelos, Yoon Young Seok, John Owen-Jones, Juan, Carlos Barona, Ramin Karimloo, Jonathan Roxmouth, Norm Lewis, Ben Lewis, Ben Crawford, Leonardo Neiva and Gerard Butler are my favorite Phantoms of all times (sorry couldn't just pick one). I watched each performance of each Phantom, and bro. No words my love, no words. Just passion, PURE PASSION
Howard McGillin was pretty amazing. Saw him on Broadway in 2007 for a school trip and was not let down at all
Michael Crawford. I don't need to watch the video. Michael Crawford. The way he says it DEFINED Phantom for me as kid.
Am I wrong for liking Gerard's? There's just something to the way he hits "I am there inside!" that gives me chills every time, it's just so deep and... hollow? I think that's how I'd describe it, very resonant. I seem to gravitate more towards the deeper, older sounding Phantoms and less toward the nasally or younger sounding ones same goes for the ones where they emphasize "there", it just takes away from the fluidity of the lyric. I also like the ones where the organ plays on "I am there inside", it's a very nice touch.
No, Gerard is one of my favorites, I love his style of singing and I think it especially fits the phantom. I think German is my favorite phantom
I also think Gerard was a phenom Phantom! 🎭
I love it!
As a Phan for nearly two Decades…Luv the Comparison Videos!!!!!!! Ted Keegan was my very first Phantom, Jul 5 2001!!!!!!!
Colm is an amazing Phantom. I saw him in Toronto multiple times and the resonance of his "I am there inside" gave me chills.
He and John Cudia will forever be my favourite Phantoms
11:54 Jonathan Roxmouth is amaizing
Ohh wow....what a great comparison! Sooooo hard picking my favs w/ all these great actors, but if I had to pick, I’d say:
1) Ian Jon Bourg
2) Howard McGillin
3) MC
4) Gary Mauer
5) Jon Roxmouth
I love how you put your videos in chronological order
I've seen Ben Crawford and Jeremy Stolle live, and they are absolutely amazing
Yeah I agree. I haven’t seen Jeremy Stolle live yet, but judging by videos of him on the internet, I can say he is amazing like what you said.
Ben Crawford is absolutely amazing. As I have seen him live as the Phantom on Broadway two times. I am planning hopefully to see him again soon. But yeah, Ben Crawford is my favorite Phantom. There is something so special about his voice and how he plays the character. He is truly amazing at what he does.
My picks on this list - Roy Weissensteiner, Alexander Lewis, Michael Crawford, Cris Groenendaal, Mikael Samuelsson, Anthony Warlow, Alfred Pfeifer, Ian Jon Bourg, Juan Carlos Barona, Henk Poort, Yoon Young Seok, early John Owen Jones, Earl Carpenter, Zoltan Miller, Simon Pryce, James Barbour, Nicky Wuchinger, Fred Johanson, and Ben Crawford.
John owen Jones is my favourite phantom, he has such richness yet softness in his voice
a video i didn't knew i needed omg! can you do an "the mirror i am your angel of music" comparison? 🥺
“Insolent fools!” should’ve been the list. That phrase confirms legendary phantoms. Michael Crawford and Hugh Panaro were excellent❤
Anthony Warlow is one of the best!
I saw him!
I really like that the phantoms are so different in how they sing and play the part. It means that there's something for everyone. I think it would by kind of boring if we all liked the same couple of phantoms 😁 God thing we don't because then we wouldn't have the need for comparison videos like this 😄
My absolute favourite phantom is Swedish singer/actor/entertainer
John Martin Bengtsson ☺️
In this video he's singing in Danish.
He played the Phantom at
Det Ny Teater (the new Theatre) in Copenhagen when the audio was recorded 🎵🙂
When he startet to sing: Insolent boy....
(in Danish of course) it felt/sounded like the entire audience stopped breathing for a moment.
Goosebumps 😮 WOW!!!!
I can't help but prefer Gerard Butler no matter what anyone says. Yes, certain parts of his performance weren't all that great but this one, in particular, is absolutely astonishing.
For me, all parts of his performance were great..
Anthony Warlow, my favorite forever and ever.
Something about the way John Owen Jones uses less vibrato on 🎶inSIDE🎶 catches me
I really love Mikael Samuelsson. Maybe because I'm swedish haha! But he's such a good Phantom!
The Lewis brothers Alexander and Ben completely knock it out of the park! 👏👏👏👏❤
1:37 Aside from Michael Crawford, Franc D'Ambrosio is my favorite. Saw he and Lisa Vroman sing Phantom in a cozy little threater (Curran) in San Francisco. Absolutely amazing.
Here they are in order:
1. Ramin K.
2. Michael Crawford
3. Ethan Freeman
4. Norm Lewis
5. Colm Wilkinson
6. Gerard Butler
7.Brad Little
8.Davis Gaines
Michael Crawford, Dave Willets, Peter Karrie, John Owen Jones, Ramin Karimloo, Colm Wilkinson.
The Mikael Samuelsson one gave me goosebumps even though I dont know what language he’s singing in
He's singing it in Swedish.
Holy crap, there has been alot of people to sing as phanton
I listened to this with the window open, so I am sure this line will be stuck in my neighbor's head too - all 5 of them.
Michael Crawford, Dave Willets, Masachika Ichimura, Steve Barton, Anthony Warlow, Mark McKerracher, Brad Little, Paul Stanley, Saulo Vasconcelos, John Owen Jones, Earl Carpenter, Matthew Cammelle, Brent Barret, John Cudia, Ramin Karimloo, Damian Aleksander, David Shannon, Jonathan Roxmouth, Peter Joback, Mathias Edenborn, Dmitri Ermak, Norm Lewis, Chris Mann, Ivan Ozhogin, Nicky Wuchinger, John Martin Bengtsson, Ben Lewis, Ben Crawford Tim Howar and Gerard Butler
Why didn't you choose Ramin from the RAH?
And why did you include Cooper Grodin?
And why not Robert Guillaume and Derrick Davis?
Gerard Butler, definitely. You saved the best for last. Love the movie.
Finally someone remembers Paul Stanley played the phantom
Mikael Samuelsson 0:51 and Gerard Butler 16:02 feel so similar... very nice despite the different languages
I've been doing my darnest to figure out who played the Phantom the first time I got to see the play live, it was in San Francisco, I want to say I the mid to lateish 90's, like 96-98, whoever performed the phantom that day was unspeakably the best singer I have ever heard and is one of the many reasons I pursued vocals and kept my deep desire to one day fill that mask more than any dream of performing on stage
I ADORE Phantom, I even have a very extensive list of all the Phantoms I have listened to, but I have to say Gerard Butler was my first and is still my favourite.
0:50 to 1:02 is amazing!
Colm Wilkinson is amazing!
@@joansouthernbuffalo8181 doesn't he sound like nixxon
So many great voices, so many good phantoms!
Scott Davies hands down in my opinion The best Phantom ever 😍😍 4:56
My main problem with Gerard Butler is the fact that he probably had numerous takes to try and get that note. He will also have his vocals smoothed over to ensure it was film worthy. Like props to him for actually singing. But he cannot even begin to be compared to people like Ramin and Colm and JOJ, because he simply would not be in their league if they had a 'sing off'. For me Ramin is my favourite due to the emotional aspect of his performance
you are just assuming things. and the musical phantoms also went through a lot of training. every phantom to ever existed has. what do you think rehearsals are for? i have been in many musicals and for every single one i had to rehearse a lot. dont make too many assumptions.
Idk Idk
I am well aware that there are rehearsals, my point, as I said above is that this is talking about the best vocal and I am saying that GB isn’t the best because of the fact that he had a team if people making his singing ‘film worthy’. He isn’t a bad singer I’ve never said that but again, in terms of a comparison he cannot begin to compare to Ramin or JOJ because they are the best and have TRAINED to be the best compare it to GB who had a recording studio and a team who worked to smooth out his vocals and ensure that they sounded the best it could.
I think i saw this exact comment on another comparison video do you go out of your way to put this in every video that compares them lol 😆.
Phillip Padilla
I don’t remember commenting the same thing, but obviously I just feel strongly about it.
So oh well
Aslo bad direction from Joel Shoemaucher
I never realized how much Ben Lewis and his brother Alexander looked alike until seeing them both in the phantom clothes
Michael Crawford is always the best! His higher voice has so much ring and he sings so easily compared to the others. He's also got that creep factor that's simply a must! I like the others, but technique-wise he's 100% the best, and he seems to be the only phantom that doesn't have that darker, boomier lower end
Maybe I'm bias because I heard gerard before anyone else. But I like his voice the best because my personal preference is not a lot a vabrato.
For me, I’d say it’s not so much the lack of vabrato but the undeniably powerful sound that his voice had, especially in that line
Haha I have the exact opposite preferences. :)
Robert Casamassa literally one of the weakest voices in this whole compilation... there were like 5 other voices with (WAY) more power AND also had a proper vibrato and technique. Butler sounds so so soooooo undeveloped in his voice.
@@brandonbenitez9746 I know this comment is from a year ago, but idc...
I completely agree with you when it comes to Gerard's voice, however, there are some people who like that "untrained, raw" voice that he has...
Saying that the raw less trained vocals makes him sound more emotional...
I don't really agree with this pov, but it's a pov many people have, so I figured I'd at least bring it up...
@@dargelxd you’re right, but the fact he stands out as one of the only untrained singers isn’t a selling point for most of us 😅 The worst part is due to the movie so many people get exposed and think that’s how it’s supposed to sound, when videos like this show it’s supposed to be singers. How in the world could the character train Christine to be such an excellent singer and love music so much and then sing like that? It’s too out of character.
These compilations always do Rick Hilsabeck so dirty.
16:02 Gerard or Gerry Butler
Gotta be honest,Cris Groenendaal is phenomenal when he was phantom. Great and powerful voice he had
First and last are my favorite Gerard and Michael baby yes
Always Ben Lewis 😍
Meus favoritos: Davis Gaines, Hugh Panaro, Gary Mauer, John Cudia, Ben Lewis, JOJ, Leonardo Neiva, Alexander Lewis, Ian Jon Bourg, Brad Little.
Where is Ramin Karimloo?
9:52 The sound is kind of off
@@wasianbatman Thank you
Right
@@wasianbatmantht him
@@kathseye21 Yess
Michael Crawford is the best. I don’t know why we’re discussing this
Wow you even included the today Brazilian poto!!!
Michael Crawford will always be my absolute favorite Phantom but oh my gosh! Mikael Samuelsson sounds…ahhh!! So good, beautiful and enchanting! And James Greene sounds so beautiful too! His build up is insane! I mean all of these men sound amazing! You have to to play the Phantom but Michael Crawford, Mikael Samuelsson and James Greene are my favorites
Oops I meant James Graeme
Is there any role Anthony Warlow can't slay?
Like...
Gerard Butler will always be my favorite!
Truth
dccomicnerd Oh honey. No.
@@amidala904 oh honey yes

Where is "I am your angel of music, come to me angel of music." That's my favorite song~!
Same song
@@GavinStone91146 I know but this is a compilation of "I am there inside" from the Mirror.
@@katherinedonovan974 Ok.
Look at your face in the mirror,
I am there, inside.
gerard❤ will always be my fav
8:51 Gary Mauer is my favorite.
I’m not really a fan of those who had the hard pause after ‘I am there’ I like the smooth transition tbh
Just curious, was that Paul Stanley from KISS?? Lots of fantastic singing here!
Yes! He did a couple of short stints in Toronto in 1999.
It’s funny that both brothers Alexander and Ben are in this they’re both amazing phantoms
I know nothing about Opera but to me James Barbour's voice is the most powerful by far! Looking at the comments though I may be the only person in the world that thinks this.😄
01:13
Eiji... He is a Asian phantom!!!
Wow, I didn't know Gleason played the phantom. I remember listening to a recording with Steve Barton as the phantom and in that, Gleason was Raoul!
Ramin - you take my breath away
MICHAEL CRAWFORD'S IS BEST BY A LANDSLIDE! NO ONE CAN EVEN COME CLOSE TO HIS PERFORMANCE. MICHAEL MADE THE PHANTOM THE SENSATION IT IS. ALL OTHERS SIMPLY FOLLOW IN HIS SHADOW.
Everyone: Talking about who's voice they like and who's voice isn't that good
Meanwhile me: Where the hell does this person got all the records from? 😐
ikr especially Eiji Akutagawa I can’t find any recordings of him
Michael Crawford is unbeatable 😃
Ben lewis will always be my favorite!! :)
I was friend w.Mr. Mackintosh when I had my Facebook. Very sweet gentleman!!!!!!!
Gerard is best for me his voice......
Thomas Borchert, definitely.
My all time favourite will always be ramin. But I saw Ben lewis onstages
Earl Carpenter, Colm Wilkonson, John Owen-Jones, and Ramin Karimloo are all AMAZING in their roles in Les Miserables
Ramin Karimloo immediately became one of my favorite singers in ANY musical when he preformed the role of Enjolras in the Les Mis 25th Anniversary and he does an AMAZING job as the phantom. He has such a powerful voice that I will always love
Earl Carpenter became my favorite bishop when he sang in the Les Mis 25th Anniversary at the O2 Center along with Ramin... He then became my second favorite Javert when he sang for the 25th Anniversary with John Owen-Jones and he is a pretty good phantom as well
Colm Wilkonson was and always will be my favorite Jean ValJean.. and he was and always will be the original Jean ValJean
However if I’m honest to me he didn’t fit the role of the Phantom as well as he did ValJean
John Owen-Jones where do I even begin.. he is an amazing singer and he is my second favorite ValJean.. my mom who has never found anyone who has played ValJean that she liked or had something to point out ( other than Colm ) but when she heard John she had nothing bad to say and neither do I.. personally he could fit the role of Phantom and Javert.. and I would of loved to see him preform
Norm Lewis was MY favorite Javert... he had the look of the role and the voice.. he seems to play a pretty good phantom however out of all these men who I have recognized to play parts in Les Mis.. if I could see any of them I would want to see Ramin
These are all my personal opinions and I would of LOVED to see all 5 of these men as the Phantom or even as the roles they played in Les Mis
Hugh Panaro's version deserves more love
My favorite phantom❤
Anthony Warlow does Australia proud 👍
And Simon pryce aka red wiggle 😄
Michael Crawford is still my favorite and then Gerard Butlers
