 My favorite Phantom CDJul 21, 2010
I can't stop listening to this soundtrack.
I love Emmy Rossum's voice as Christine. She has a purity to her voice that shows the true innocence of Christine. Her voice is also clear and not muddy like Sarah Brightman's. I understand that opera-singing is supposed to sound muddy, but I prefer the clearer sound that Rossum brings.
Gerard Butler is not a veteran Broadway singer, but he does his best. I love his edgy sound when he gets angry. There is so much emotion in his singing, but it is not overly done. I could hear a bit of his Scottish accent when he sings "Music of the Night," but overall, he does a great job playing the Phantom. I am in love with him.
Patrick Wilson's portray of Raoul is a bit dry, but he has a beautiful singing voice.
Everyone else on the CD is awesome. This is a must-have CD for all Phantom and Gerard Butler fans!!
BeautifulJul 12, 2010
I saw The Phantom of the Opera when it first came out in theaters when I was 12. The week before I saw it, my world geography teacher had played part of the soundtrack in class and told us about the story to encourage us to see it. I loved the music so much that I bought it and listened to the rest of the songs. I cried, especially at the end of Point of No Return and all through Down Once More. Each voice captured such emotion. I didn't need to see what was going on to understand the pain and desperation of each character. The Phantom of the Opera has always been a favorite of mine since then and I've talked with a lot of people who also love the story in general. The fan base is so broad because of all the different versions, and people tend to disagree on what is better when it comes to either the book, the stage play, or the movie. Especially when comparing the stage play to the movie.
A lot of people who love the stage play were disappointed with the movie because it wasn't a literal translation of the material, and also because the original cast was not featured on screen. Personally, I'm happy for this. I've listened to a lot of different stage casts and I've even seen Phantom on Broadway (it was awesome!) But Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman have never captured the essence of Phantom like Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum have. Gerard Butler is not musically trained to the same degree as Michael Crawford, but Gerard did a better job of conveying the phantom's emotions and helping us to understand why he acts the way he does.
For people who are interested in listening to the movie soundtrack or learning more about the Phantom of the Opera, I would suggest you keep an open mind and not listen to what everyone else has to say about how horrible/wonderful the movie is, etc. Everybody has their own opinion on which Phantom version is best.
Love it!May 04, 2010

Pure ExcellenceFeb 12, 2010
I do not know how many times I've listened to this CD, but every time I do, I experience all the joy that comes with the music. I have yet to see the musical, but the book is good and I love the movie, particularily for this music. The singers are incredible, the notes that are hit seem impossibly perfect. The lyrics truly move me, they are so beautiful and flow so melliflously. For anyone appreciative of music, I suggest this phenomenal soundtrack.
