Phantom Comparison - Floating, Falling 

Ok the awkward clap at 2:20 is killing me lol

36:08 wow! Earl Carpenter's take on this scene is unlike any Phantom! Very different, but beautiful. And then in the very next snippet with the same actress (Rachel Barrell) Matthew Cammelle's (don't know anything about him)acting couldn't be more blah. Not an ounce of sensuality or romance, then he YANKS her arm. Ha! So interesting seeing ALLL these different Phantoms in this iconic moment of the show. Thank you for posting!!! Just love this!

My favs: 23:32 JOJ love how he caresses her neck and how he lets her touch him 2:00 Michael Crawford I like how he caressed her so sensually, I dislike Christine's acting tho 30:57 Peter Lockyer love how he nibbled her ear 36:00 Earl Carpenter had a peculiar take with the cheek caressing and sounded very realistic when he said "touch me" most actors sounds like they following a choreo (I know they do but it's beautiful when it sounds realistic) 37:05 Gary Mauer Elizabeth Southard he sounded sexy and I like her reaction when she touches the mask, funny they were already married at the time! 37:50 John Cudia Jennifer Hope Willis I usually dont like when Christines reaches so fast but she instilled curiosity in her Christine and allowed her to wonderfully react to the touch

During this part, I guess you could say Christine is... “in the arms of the Angel”

I wish that every Phantoms would let Christine touch them. Though I know that the Phantom's new with this thing, like somebody touching him so he's a bit sensitive about it. Great video, as always! Thanks for making it.

I like the juxtaposition between Panaro's Phantom so confidently inviting her to touch him and then acting so awed when he's allowed to hold her hand. It's oddly sweet in a way. And then Carpenter's Phantom getting almost overwhelmed by her presence and having to pull himself back is *chef's kiss.*

Peter Lockyer at 30:57 was my favourite

31:17 Peter, my dude, you're killing me over here!

Here are some that stood out to me: 10. Thomas James O'Leary & Sandra Joseph (16:11) 9. Ian Jon Bourg & Alison Kelly (21:36) 8. Tim Martin Gleason & Susan Owen (32:41) 7. Paul Stanley & Melissa Dye (18:33) 6. Ethan Freeman & Anne Gorner (34:30) 5. John Owen-Jones & Celia Graham (23:32) 4. Howard McGillian & Adrienne McEwan (27:41) 3. Earl Carpenter & Rachel Barrell (35:46) 2. Hugh Panaro & Trista Moldovan (43:33) 1. Alexander Goebel & Luzia Nistler (11:36) Honorable Mentions Michael Crawford & Sarah Brightman (2:07) Jun Sawaki & Kyoko Suzuki (7:40) Eiji Akutagawa & Hisako Hanaoka (13:00) Brad Little & Lisa Vroman (29:02) Matthew Cammelle & Rachel Barrell (36:26) Gary Mauer & Elizabeth Southard (37:04) Ramin Karminloo & Gina Beck (40:50)

I found Charlotte Page's reaction when she touched the mask interesting and not often done with other Christines... 20:21 I also find it interesting that Ramin and a few others had a "knee-jerk" reaction when Christine touched the mask, like they were afraid of her taking it off, but the majority of the others don't have that reaction, like letting her stroke it and then continue with the song.

I saw Scott Davies as the Phantom in London last week - hadn't really heard too much about him, but he really did pull out a very moving and believable performance that night. His take on this was to actually move his cheek and mouth along Christine's neck as he said "sweet intoxication". I think it only added to the intensity of the moment, however the microphone became a little bit distorted since it was pressed between his skin and hers, haha. I reckon the Phantom might have taken a chance like that... He was also pretty handsy, haha.

*sigh* This video ended on the perfect note (ha), with Hugh Panaro, the Phantom to measure all Phantoms by. (Besides, of course, Micheal Crawford who created this beautiful character)Thanks again, Glass Prism, for your amazing videos!!! Love your channel.

Michael Crawford is forever my angel of music. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ramin 40:52

Some Phantoms are on the verge sexual harrassment... xD

Michael Crawford is my #1 Phantom in this world today!! xxxx

It's all about the John Owen Jones baby

Ramin.....40:52

I don't get how many people still say Ramin Karimloo is the best! Really!?!? He makes me fear so much for her wrist, it's so over the top

Brad Little was the second Phantom I saw when I was 12! Ted Keegan was my first and Gary Mauer was the third and final Phantom I saw! I remember seeing Ted play the Phantom when I lived in Florida and I went to see it with my mom, dad, aunt and uncle! He was an awesome Phantom! I even had the opportunity to see him again as the Phantom when I was 12 but the cast replaced him with Brad Little! All three were amazing Phantoms! I've always dreamed of seeing The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway!

Ted Keegan & Becca Pitcher were my very first Phantom & Christine, Jul 5, 2001!!Ted was also my very First Auctioneer w.Phantom The Las Vegas Spectacular, Mon, Apr 7, 2009 & my Final, Wed, Jun 20, 2012 in Las Vegas!!!!!!! How long were they a part of the US TOUR FROM 2001-??

Damn Michael Crawford @ 4:00 to 4:08 didnt leave much up to the imagination did her..."savor each sensation" as he glides his hand down and up alongside her crotch and chest....oh mama....still dah best John Cudia and Earl Carpenter get HMs too

31:00 Peter Lockyer and 37:50 John Cudia are my favorites, Sorry Ramin, this time your are not my No 1. I also love Gary Mauer :D
