Im always used to Christine starting with “In sleep he sang to me”
So everytime i come back here and she starts with “Benea-“
Im like “is this like latin?”
no its the same song different lyrics. such as the heart is slow to learn, another great Webber song. if you've seen love never dies, the title theme is the same melody different lyrics
Hahahaha, omg same! Every time it starts I think I've accidentally selected a foreign language version😂😂😂
Same here
thats presumptuous of you there is a lot of variations of the lyrics
thats presumptuous of you SAMEEE
The phantom: sing...my angel of music
Me: blink angel of music, blink
LOLLLLLL I laughed so hard at this
🤣😂😆
I fell off my bed laughing! 🤣
he's inside her mind that's why😉😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This feels like something from an alternate universe where instead of a musical phantom was just a bizarre and memorable video that was a surprise hit on MTV and a song that stayed at the top of the charts for like a summer.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pretty much.
"I'm ToddInTheShadows and today on One Hit Wonderland..."
@@somecanadiangirl1 can you IMAGINE a one hit wonderland on andrew lloyd webber gfjdkxsdfj
@@user-kw7mr6xt9n I think he mentions it in What is love.
The fact she rarely blinks makes this seem like a horror musical. And she's the villain.
😂👍
I mean, the book was intended to be horror.
@@PyroGothNerdno it’s not. I will actually fight you on that!
@@winterbloomingroses7146 Dude, it was literally a ghost story.l where the Phantom isn't revealed to not be a ghost until halfway through, and he goes on murder rampage at one point.
A lot of things that were considered horror back then are considered mild, now
Well there was one blink, not in a close up though...
This is the most 80's thing ever
Bella ikr
True
Yes together with batdance
bella edmiston this the most 80’s thing to 80’s. And I love it! Plus it paved the way for the more well known Phantom we know and love!
Just at Michael Jackson
God, the description "strange duet" has never been more accurate.
pat2rome 😂😂right
pat2rome 👍
anything with Sarah Brightman is automatically strange
anything with Sarah Brightman is automatically strange
IKR, that combined with the creepiness in Sarah’s eyes.
"And when my song begins..."
"You'll give your love to me, for love is blind"
"The Phantom of the Opera is now... my mastermind"
Underrated prototype lyrics.
The work in progress
i think the prototype lyrics for music of the night were better also
"nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation/
darkness stirs and wakes imagination/
silently the senses abandon their defenses/
helpless to resist the notes i write/
for i compose the music of the night"
@@garlottos Yeah. They cut those last two lines out to make way for a slight instrumental break. Part of me wishes that they hadn't. (6/27/2022)
everyone talks about ‘helpless to resist’ but nobody mentions ‘close your eyes and let music set you free’ 😤
@@brxzbze I think the change to “soar” is smart actually because it ties into Christine’s “soar” on the rooftop with Raoul.
The way the lyrics just change, and ONE voice is the same and the backing track is the same but everything else is just... This feels like an alternate universe.
In an alternate universe this is what the final show was like instead
@@brxzbze I would pay to see that
@Large_Richard Oh I would too, believe me
its the same in RAH and 2004 version
3:21 “Sing my angel of music” in the most monotone voice ever lmao.
:')
Right??? Isn't it awful?? Lololol
he sounds almost like he popped out of alvin and the chipmunks
I think it may have been intentional, as the monotone was meant to be hypnotic in one way or another, but then again, I'm not entirely sure...
he's done, and slightly spooked by her non-blinking
"Dad, what were the 80s like?"
"This should about cover things son"
Which 80s though? 1880s or the 1980s
David Cobb 1980s lmbo
I like the 80s then. I like a couple of things from the 80s though.
@@CD-BVL Hence...the 80s
The story of an unblinking, maniacal soprano who kidnaps an innocent disfigured man and forces him to wear a funny mask and commit atrocities with cutlery.
Wtf
YES!
Jajajaja
Ha Ha, you made a great story of another kind.😅
😂🤣😂👏🏻
The comments are talking about it being cringe, but honestly, I love this unironically. Great visual storytelling, the Phantom seems genuinely unhinged and feral, the ending is beautifully realized.
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.
big "labyrinth" 80s camp vibes
@@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.
So basically,
1. Christine sounds beautiful but forgot how to blink
2. The Phantom looks and sounds like a gerbil
3. Raoul has a dead animal on his head
4. The Phantom has a... Bread knife?
Lol yes, a bread knife, bread is popular in that opera house 😏🤣🤣flatly: sing my angel of music
Accurate!
Butter knife?
Cringe
lol forgot to blink
do u think sarah brightman was like told not to blink or
*DON'T BLINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* ;)
Phantom as a weeping angel confirmed :P
XD Me: *GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! brings down chandelier while the laugh from "Thriller" plays* Call the Doctor! You:Wait, which one? I'm getting 14 responses. Me: Pick one! ;)
IT CREEPY AS HELL
Between this and Wishing you were somehow here again scene.. I think Andrew Lloyd Webber a Doctor Who fan..
Love how this phantom shakes his fist like the old guy screaming at kids to get off his lawn.
Also fitting into that pattern: the way he shakes makes me worry that he's having a seizure.
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.
@@Julia-lk8jnerik’s hypnotized himself into an epileptic for sympathy points
Oh my god. I thought this was a fever dream I had when I was a child. I haven't thought about this in years and randomly found it while looking for a decent version to add to a playlist. This is bonkers.
Add the version from the Royal Albert Hall that's my favorite :)

BROOO 💀
Steve Harley has passed away today (17th March 2024)… RIP you glam rock phantom! Nobody could have done this version of the song better!
This IS the definitive version imo. I loved Steve Harley in this
I loved him so so much.
What. No...
Very sorry to know that. 😞
Multi-talented indeed.
BLINK, MY ANGEL OF MUSIC
Lol
The fact that I am also being affected of her unblinking
Omg YESSSS
Stolen comment!
You may think Erik is trying to kill Raoul because he's competition for Christine but in reality, he's trying to rid the world of that mullet. Truly, Erik is the hero.
I thought truly thought that maybe Erik was the hero Bc the stage people treated freaks like shit repeatedly.
:)))
Besto comentario
Agreed. Eric was just trying to strangle the mullet menace in its cradle.
LMAO
RIP Steve Harley. This video was the first exposure I ever had to what would eventually become my favorite musical.
2:51 omg The phantom’s giant cape on a stick so he can swing it in front of the camera😂
I remember watching this during my teenage Phangirling years. There's so many things that wanna make me laugh...from Raoul's hair, the hyper 80s vibe, Phantom's cape blown by a fan...But the funniest thing still remains until this day: the fact that The Phantom tried to cut the chandelier using a bread knife
Oh I love this video the same way I love terrible movies. Whenever I show this video to anyone they usually say the video is awful, but the song is great. I view it the same way.
After the owners stopped paying his salary, he had to cut down on his arsenal so he had to get...creative
When you said phangirling I was like pHan but yes 😂😂
Liz Who it looks like a steak knife
Sara Cussie: I think it is ment to be that way, the PH makes the "F" sound, so she could have put that to stress that she was fangirling over "Phantom of the opera" ('cause there is "ph" in phantom, get it?).......is it only I who thinks this? ......ok......
Roaul:looks at Christine
Phantom:sees >:(
Phantom:cuts with butter knife
I like to imagine that happens everytime a boy looks at Christine during the opera
😂😂😂
I burst out laughing when the phantom decided dropping the chandelier was the best way to attempt murder, especially the fake blood screen wipe. Where are there snakes, why is she Cleopatra, why does she not blink properly, wtf is everyone's hair, why the wedding dress, what is up with the ancient greek theatre mask, who are those twins WHY ARE THERE GRAVES IN THE LAKE
The beginning says Christine in cleopatra I believe
That heavy distorted guitar at the start and that bass line changed my life forever.
You should check out Pink Floyds echos that’s what it was stolen from.
@@Dirt_Reynolds17 There's a Procol Harum song called Conquistador from 1967 that uses a similar descending riff as it gets to the chorus. I always thought Pink Floyd took it from that since the two bands toured together.
Oh my god. At the end when hes cutting the chandelier. ITS A F*CKING BUTTER KNIFE. I'm laughing so hard this entire thing is so cringy and hilarious. And the blood at the end. This is beautiful.
Somehow... I think I'm more scared of Christine than the Phantom.
Hooray Bagels maybe she’s the real phantom?
Omg same
@@SEmme-ov6yy that's absolutely a great plot twist
@@saoirsestark3903 Better than the fact that Christine and the Phantom actually have a son on her wedding night Raoul, and then 10 years later, they go to Coney Island and the Phantom and Raoul have this competition to see who can win Christine's heart, and the son is actually a musical prodigy, and then Christine dies in the end because Meg was in love with the Phantom too?!?!?
They’re equally scary tbh
While criminally unknown to most, an amazing singer, and a tragic loss. RIP Steve Harley, 2024.
All these comments are so funny to me, having never experienced a single shred of Phantom of the Opera content in my life but this. I watched this when I was little and have been obsessed with it since then. 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. I'm almost glad I don't have any other reference for Phantom because this is just so pure to me lol
"Camp?" How on earth do you figure that? Erik and Raoul obviously are gone on Christine.
@@MaskedMan66 do you....know what camp means? sincerely asking here
@@MrFireflies100 Yes, I... do. Maybe you'd be kind enough to explain why it's "Imitate William Shatner" Night. Meanwhile, I'll possibly teach you something.
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._
3:04 omg guys she blinked
Phoebus Kotsakis finally
OOOOO
Her blinks be fast af boi
But right after that she gives you the deepest death stare ever
I'm lost.
1.Christine's trippin on something,
2.Erik put frickin pythons in a sewer
3. Homeboys trying to sever a chandelier chain with a butter knife
4. Erik was apparently replaced by his stoner cousin Bill
5. Roul is wearing roadkill as a hat.
K then.
So true!! And you are hilarious, btw
Lightning Storm thx bro
*News reporter: Someone killed a man with a roadkill hair style.We will move to our witness.*

Brynlee Northcutt 😭😂😭😂😭😂
Brynlee Northcutt I'm dying😂 this is so god damn accurate
A brilliant song, RIP Steve Harley, another great pop icon has left us 😪
I cant get over the fact the fact the phantom sounds like he has a major uncured cold for his entire life
Yep, that describes it pretty well. I was more concerned with 1:18 looking like a seizure ... well, the man has been living in a cold damp cellar for at least a decade.
But seriously, it very much illustrates the difference between a singer and a classically trained singer.
Are we sure Christine is not supposed to be the stalker here? I mean that phantom looks and sounds like he's being forced into doing a duet. She doesn't blink just so he doesn't get away.
That would be a pretty nice remake. I want to see Christine as a yandere who forces phantom into loving her
Plus she willingly went down there and put the wedding dress on
niki irulan that's probably honestly a better fanfic that LND.
Doctor Decipher this entire thing is creepy, I mean Christine is super creepy in the beginning and never blinks and during halfway in the video it looks like she’s staring into your soul, the phantom am mask is just hilarious most importantly Christine is terrifiying
But I liked it I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it I liked it
Tia Fakhouri - I think it’s supposed to portray the Phantom being in her mind? I don’t know.
Im sorry but i laughed real hard at his first few lines, he sounded like he was forced into this lol
LK Blondie Me too I can't resist it 😂😂😂
LK Blondie I laughed when the chandelier was getting cut down by a bread knife
@@Love.Ruby. lmao 😂 yeah me too
all good- I don't think there is a single fan of the musical who isn't laughing at this monstrosity.
Rey Menacher Seriously, I mean correct me if I'm wrong but aren't chandeliers normally held by chains? Ain't nobdy getting anywhere on a chandelier chain with a butter knife
This is so 80s it's almost an art
Brooooo Sarah isn't blinking 😂😂😂 it's like she's looking into my soul
1:19 I think we can all agree that the Phantom just had a stroke
LMAOOO
Am I homophobic if I hate myself?
Know these signs of a stroke!
- trembling hands
- lopsided facial expressions
- cape becomes erect
Lmao more like a seizure
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You mean seizure? A stroke would typically present with paralysis of one or both limbs on the opposite side of the clot.
Never with tremors
This is the most 80's thing to have ever thiged in the 80's.
RIP Steve Harley 😢
the dance at
2:26
is gold
He looks like he's trying to exorcise the real Phantom of the Opera with holy water
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.
She was made for this role
@@janesgems7 actually the role was made for her, she was married to Andrew Lloyd Webber and he wrote the this part for her.
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.
Lol, Kristin was literally made for Sarah Brightman By Andrew :)
CHRISTINE’S EYES!!!!!!!!!!! Terrifying ❤
For some strange reason, I really like how he says "You give your love to me, for love is blind". It's incredibly dull as lyrics, but damn, it's pretty well delivered.
I know what you mean. I practically melt when he says it.
probably the background instruments that kick in @1:25 (w/e they are) greatly contribute to that effect
@BlackFalkon Exactly, the note hits your ear a certain way.
For me , the line "you'll give your love to me, for love is blind" is the perfect encapsulating statement for what I love abt the "love" part of the show bc they're both so wrong? And it's not like they find actual love and the end, but they kinda realize that they both fucked up at the end and love isn't the picturesque thing they wanted in this form, and while Christine still gets her cliche happy ending w Ralph, she's also realized she has to let her father go. It's just so wrong abt thus idea of romance and I do kinda love that. And just... so good. Thr phantom has perpetual incel vibes, and the mullet is a crime, and Christine needs to learn to overcome her daddy issues, but that's the point of it, isn't it? They're all wrong abt love, because they're all trying to compensate for or get back a love they don't have.
@ my comment: Raoul, not Ralph. How did that even happen.
Steve Harley really gave his all and should be appreciated as the nearly-but-not-quite Phantom. RIP (fantastic voice!)
Fabulous, very 80s cheese (who knew that Raoul had a mullet or the damage a butter knife can do?), but fabulous in another way. I've always been intrigued and fascinated by The Phantom of the Opera: books, videos, soundtracks, musicals, whatever. I've seeked out every version I can find from silent film to the modern era.
Phantom has a weird mask: ✔️
Phantom sounds like a gerbil: ✔️
Christine turns into Cleopatra: ✔️
Yep!!this gets a 10/10 for weirdness
And looks like the phantom is struggling to shit onstage.😂
It's not that bad
@@colinsushiboy745 cawr
thats the 80s for you bruv
What kind of mask does he even wear in this?
This is equally the best thing and the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. Sarah sounds *gorgeous* and then there's Harley... The 80s cringe, the snakes, the bread knife... And of course, Raoul's hair. What a gem.
Glinda Bennett agreed
Listen to nightwish cover
What did you expect? its a music video
*In the 80's*
But the phantom's singing voice here is horrendous, or at least lackluster, compared to today's renditions of the same character
Glinda Bennett **uses bread knife to cut chandelier**
I heard countless numbers of this piece and to this day I've never heard anyone beat Sarah!! She's a voice of an angel 🔥✌️💞💕💞💕💞
The Phantom is absolute trash
It was written for her.
@@roddevereaux1830 Wat's your problem with him>?
Despite the i n t e r e s t i n g visuals and the pre-pubescent phantom, this is one of the most badass versions of the song. I can see an epic fight scene as a show goes on. I love that.
Everyone sayinh she's not blinking and I'm here like I don't remember those lyrics
Lol SAME
The lyrics are different because this was used to promote the show rather than keeping the lyrics as it is
Andrew Lloyd Webber changes his lyrics all the time, this is not a new thing! Y’all are fake fans!😂😂 (I’m kidding)
@@MrNoUsername this was used to *promote* the show, not make it look bad??
morgan t this was before the real thing even happened
I personally find the no blinking amazing... After all she is supposed to be under some type of hypnosis
Thanks for your loves and support you've shown towards me. where are you watching from?
@@andrewlloydwebber6765 California USA :)
And her eyes are mesmerizing
The no blinking is not even remotely the most concerning thing about this video. Still if Christine was going for a hypnotic look I would have preferred no blinking but still being drowsy like Sierra Boggess does it. Here she is so wide eyed I find it a bit ridiculous.
@@victoriaanne6332 she already have huge round shaped eyes. When you have such eyes, opening up makes them go bigger than any other shape of eyes.
I just learned of Steve Harley's passing, rest in peace.
I’ve never seen Sarah in so young age before. This is very nice❤️
The Phantom sounds like he needs to sneeze but he has to hold it in.
@Abc Xyz ewwew 😫
He looks like it too
Sounds like he got a cold
He has to cough
🤣🤣
Id be honest here, this version has something that the modern be version doesn't have, and im not talking about it being "bad or good", the vibe this gives is just indescribable.
agree
That fever dream energy? Why that’ll be the drugs of the 80’s m’boy
I like how this version it seems like the phantom is brainwashing her unlike in the modern version where it seems like Christine is just too religious and though the phantom was an angel send by her dead dad I like the first scene it's so nostalgic even tho I wasn't born in the 80s lol
Correct. Sometimes hitting all the right notes is the wrong way to perform it. There's definitely a vibe here that is lost in modern performances.
Tbh the vibe is because of the videos director Ken Russell. He also directed Tommy
It's the Predator skull on the boat that got me 😂
for some reason the phantom alone quietly singing "the phaaaantom of the ooooperaaaa" is the funniest fucking thing to me
See, I want to believe. I want to take Steve Harley's Phantom seriously. But when the first shot of him is him looking awfully cross-eyed in that gold mask at 1:05, I...I just can't.
I thought the same thats so fun
Sing...............once again with me.
Also he sings with a weird accent which I can't get over
And the way he says "our strange duet" 🥴 ahr strAngduEhh
Angelina Meeks yeah also what is it with that fist moving
Do you ever see something made in the 80s and you’re like that’s just a little too 80s
That's KISS in a sentence
Sarah Brightman's voice and physical beauty---
Those unblinking EYES!
---make this worth watching.
😄😄😄😄 This is sooo totally 80's. If anyone ever wondered what the 80's looked liked on TV, it's this. 😅 Did anyone else get Dragnet and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom vibes? 😂😂😂😂💖💖💖
😂😂😂👍
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.
Ah damn it, and here I thought we did a good job on the lever and pulley system with him.
Oh well, back to the drawing board...
He looks like a malfunctioning animatronic.
“My power over youyouyouyou-“
JKolman1179 😂
JKolman1179 he sounds like that disabled kid from South Park. Little Jimmy? Little Timmy?
JKolman1179 The BEST comment I’ve ever seen!!!
This comment section is literally comedy gold, I could read it for days
That’s theater kids for ya! 🙂
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.
"You'll give your love to me, for love is blind"
Is such a great line for the phantom!
You never realize how dead eyed Brightman looks until she’s staring straight in to your soul
•Chickens8 • I KNOW IT CREEPY AS F
Madison Haynes OK IM NOT ALONE IN THIS! She can sing ok, but she’s a crap actress
It's almost Alexandra Daddario levels.

WHY IS HE CUTTING THE CHANDELIER WITH A DAMN BREAD KNIFE
I actually love this better than the other versions. Idc what anyone else says
Anyone here for this in 2024?❤
Yes, indeed. I searched around YT for it! And I'm laughing myself sick again.
Me
Me and my son. He loves this treasure
Yup. 05/02/24
"sing. once again with me. our strange duet."
he clearly hates every minute of this lmaooo
She forced him to do this probably.
He sounds like he's in pain
Raoul: *looks at christine*
The phantom: *So you have chosen death*
Butter knifed to death
Raul needed to *lighten* up anyway.
The legends say that PETA stepped in for animal abuse after Erik dropped that chandelier on Raoul’s mullet.
No one can sing this any better than Sarah
Ok so everybody is talking about the butter knife, but CAN WE TALK ABOUT ERIK’S BATMAN STYLE CAPE AND HOW STUPID IT LOOKS I LOVE IT
Honestly, I think Erik's cape looked kinda like Dracula's.
I loose it everytime at the cape 🤣
It makes me think of tuxedo mask.
That cape is the best thing about him! It's not stupid at all. I love a long cape on a guy, no matter the setting.
Moral of the story? The guy with the mullet always dies at the end!
Yes lol
Good.
Come on, man.. what's wrong with a mullet?
@@ericdillon1169,
Nothing. Unless you want an early death. :D
I was in this as an extra sitting in the audience it was fun
The change in the lyrics are so great. Makes it an alternate version from the original. Brightman is the one and only Christine Daaé forever. A goddess!
Plot twist: Christine is actually the phantom, she doesn’t blink therefore he cannot run and is forced to sing with her
It’s so easy for the hard-core fans to mock this in hindsight.
Please try to remember that this was made long before Hal Prince came on board.
The lyrics were the originals written by a Richard Stilgoe, again long before Charles Hart was there.
At this time, it was assumed that Phantom was going to be a big old camp-fest, rather than the classic piece of beautiful theatre we now know.
To compare Steve Harley to Crawford or anyone else who has been given the Prince treatment is also unfair. No, he isn’t the best singer or actor to play the role, but at the time they wanted a less subtle approach to the character than the one we now know.
I honestly have no idea why Ken Russell was given the task of directing this, other then he was famous for campy romps such as The Boyfriend and Tommy, and this was how ALW envisaged the show at that time.
Obviously, the genius that Hal Prince has, prevented this kind of schlitz from ever reaching the stage, but I can’t help thinking that this needed to be made to show how NOT to do the show.
Please don’t judge this too harshly. Without it, Phantom may well have been a totally different animal.
ANDREW HOLTON Ken Russell directed this?
It all makes perfect sense now.
I love hidden gems like these in the comments section. 👌 Thanks for being awesome, ya nerd. :)
Webber himself stated he wanted this video to be extremely over the top, to hype the musical
I was wondering when the changes got mad between this and the show! Thank you for the insight.
So this was simply a music video they made before it went to stage?

Basically everything involving the phantom is rough. The poor guy looks ridiculous. That being said, this is the best thing I’ve ever seen or heard and I love every second, from the decidedly un-sexy voice to the butter knife.
He's like a twelve year old who's trying desperately to make his voice deep

Always loved the Steve Harley version. Only just found out he recently passed. RIP.
I love Sarah Brightman, her voice is wonderful
Her eyes hunt me in my sleep
In sleep she stared at me, in dreams she came
;-;
I've become obsessed with this thing. I watch it at least once a day. Aside from the no blinking, Sarah Brightman is absolute perfection. Then there's the Phantom lol.
yes! i thought it might just be me hah reading through the comments! I really have loved this for so long and still feel like I just heard it today. I love her "crazy eyes" and she still does this when singing this because i just watched czcams.com/video/VXMUmIqabiY/video.html&ab_channel=VincentNiclo which brought me back here it is part of the character.
Escreve a letra aqui por favor!
I actually really like this phantom
This is where I am now.
I like it. I think it conveys how Erik is controlling her. Sarah is supposed to be under hypnosis.
This may be unpopular but I genuinely like this version. I mean I'm glad that they never casted Steve Harley as Erik because he simply doesn't have the right voice for the role but personally (maybe it's because English is not my native language and I don't notice the weirdness in his voice?) I still enjoy listening to this version a lot.
My mom had this on a cd growing up and I would always sing Sarah’s part, now I sing higher than some of the sopranos in my choir (I’m an alto)
1:16
Phantom.exe has stopped working

BirdieBeep **fist twitches**
1:46 *
Gabba Dabba No you're wrong. You are WAY off
You made my day sir
her eyes: 0-0 the whole time
Yep
Tbh mine would be too if that was my Phantom
👁👄👁
My parents had this VHS of all these Andrew Lloyd Webber / Sarah Brightman music videos…
Y’all… if I could even tell you how many times I watched this as a kid 😂😂😂
1) How is this phantom worse than Gerard Butler
2) Why was there a ball python on a gravestone
4) How did they get the Phantom to do that little ragdoll dance when he was standing across the lake
5) Who started this wierd thing where Raoul is a dopey loverboy? He was a fucken brat in the novel
6) Seriously, who put that snake on the gravestone?
7) Follow up question: Why did the cameraman zoom on the snake?
8) Why is the phantom's neck so tense?
9) What are those camera angles
Edit: That mask is HIDEOUS
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.
