I met her at the hotel I managed in Philadelphia...I was so excited and she was so nice and left 3 ticket to see her concert in NJ at the Meadowlands. I told her I saw her as christine on Broadway...and it totally moved me. She was so humble and beautiful...I was so star struck.
I don't think that there is a 'superior' Christine. I love this version, I love Sierra's version and I love Emmy's version. Obviously, this is the original so we have Sarah to thank for originating such a beautiful musical. Christine is such a vocally demanding role and so I think anyone who takes on the role deserves some appreciation!!!!
This is Sarah's best singing. Yet, Emmy is always going to be my favourite Christine! But they both have beautiful voices when it comes to this voice. I hope to be like them someday!
Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford were magnificent as Christine and the Phantom. It was when she kissed his hideous face and told him if you were not so Angry I could have loved you (with that kiss), that I understood unconditional love. In his song recounting that he had a face that only his mother could love (Masquerade), I was transfixed. This play will go down on history for me as the greatest love story ever told.🥰. This is coming from someone who hasn’t had a relationship in over 10 years. I have embraced Solitude happily. But I could go to this play again and again.🥰. I do believe in human kindness, when it appears. Phantom of the Opera will always get a huge BRAVO from me.
One of my favorite female singers. My oldest daughter sang that song when she auditioned for North Carolina School of The Arts. Got her a full ride. My other favorite singer is Lea Salonga in her Les Miserables 10th Anniversary performance. Saw Lea live at the Fox in Miss Saigon.
Love the original cast recording with Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawfordinf Phantom of the Opera. Have seen Phantom 4 times in Toronto, Canada all different performers. Enjoyed the different versions, but Sarah and Michael are my favorites.
I love Sarah Brightman, I like her more mature, experienced voice, but then again I like Emmy's young, sweet and natural voice. I like them both very much.
Christine grew up thinking that the Phantom is her fabled Angel of Music. It took her finally figuring out the terrifying identity of her Angel of Music, experiencing trauma and PTSD, rage quitting the Phantom right after All I Ask of You, her finally telling her friends and Raoul of the abuse she endured to get her seraphic voice, and many other things......to realize that Christine herself is the Angel of Music all along.
So many versions of Think of Me - I still like Brightman's version the best as she really bring out the longing version of a lady who wants her love to remember her...
Growing up I had a huge crush on her and now at 43 years of age I find her just as beautiful as I did as a teen. Try going to a midwest school and being a Phantom fan lol
I saw The Phantom of the Opera in 1988 Sarah Brightman made a once appearance which was a totally unexpected experience. The night was magic with her and of course Michael Crawford
Was Dec. 1993, In NYC with My True Love, as attended Phantom & were enchanted forever, even though we are together at this time, this song springs eternal hope for me !
what's scary is that when i was little i listened to this recording all the time and i sang along. now that i am older, my voice is pitched kinda high, and because of it, i can almost hit all the high notes. and i am a guy. ah fun times.
I saw the stage version with Sarah Brighman and Michael Crawford on the last time they performed together. I count this as one of the best things l was lucky enough to see. They were both spectacular I will see it again when possible, but doubt anyone can match these two wonderful performers. Love Emmy Rossum and Gerrard Butler too, but no comparison to S.B. and M. C. The other stage version A 25 yr. Celebration at Crystal Palace was also amazing, ( televised version ) but still not as amazing as Crawford and Brightman. ....... Pauline Gribben.
CHRISTINE Think of me, 想起我 think of me fondly, 柔情的想起我 when we ve said goodbye. 当我们已经说了再见 Remember me, once in a while - 偶尔想想我 please promise me you ll try. 请答应我你会试着这样去做 When you find that, 当你发现 once again, 再一次 you long to take your heart back and be free - 你渴望让自己振作、自由 if you ever find a moment, 如果你曾找到一瞬间 spare a thought for me... 想着我 We ve never said our love was evergreen, 我们从没说过我们的爱能永存 or as unchanging as the sea - 或者像大海一样不曾改变 but if you can still remember, 但是若你能一直记住 stop and think of me... 停下来想想我 Think of all the things we ve shared and seen - 想想我们一起分享一起经历过的事 don t think about the way things which might have been... 不要回想可能发生的 Think of me, 想想我 think of me waking, 醒着的时候想想我 silent and resigned. 安静的顺从的 Imagine me, 想象我 trying too hard to put you from my mind. 很难把你从记忆中抹去 Recall those days, 想起那些日子 look back on all those times, 想起所有过去的日子 think of the things we ll never do - 想起我们没来得及做的事情 there will never be a day, 没有一天 when I won t think of you... 我不在想你 Can it be? 是这样吗？ Can it be Christine? 是这样吗？克里斯提娜？ Bravo! 好啊！ Long ago, it seems so long ago How young and innocent we were She may not remember me But I remember her Christine Flowers fade,the fruits of summer fade They have their seasons,so do we But please promise me that sometimes You will think of me.
I love her voice. I have this phantom of the Opera CD that's soooooo old. It's from the cast that I like the most, Sarah Brightman & Michael Crawford. They're great. ^^
Sometimes this tune gets stuck in my head. For me this is nothing unusual. I have all sorts of music bouncing around, from Gustav Mahler to significant one-shot greats from the 60s. Without deliberation, my mind will shift from Beethoven to some modern-day pop performer. One minute I'll be listening to Katy Perry and the next moment I'll be listening to Brahms' first piano concerto. I'm usually totally unaware of the shift. It's weird. I don't want to enter into who was the best Christine debate or who is a better singer. I'll leave that up to your individual judgment. Sometimes, when I hear this song I hear Brightman -- other times I can hear Rossum. If I listened more to other singers, I'm sure they'd get a place in my unconscious. When I listen to Boggess, I think, wow, that's really supreme, but I'd have to listen to her more often for her voice to enter my unconscious. I'm a big Sarah Brightman fan but find no need to defend her. Other artists have given this song a real range and I'm glad of it.
Lol when I first heard this song, at about 2:22 when Raoul sings "You're really not a bit" I thought he said "You're really not a b****" and I thought "Wait...what?!" Lol funny memories... Anyways...man I love this song!
Beautiful voice, beautiful eyes, beautiful lady. I wish I could have seen and heard her on the stage of "Phantom". She has become one of my favorite singers.
Beautiful voice. I had the pleasure of seeing her twice in Orlando --- Once was the Eden concert. Ticket prices have gotten out of this world however and I could not afford her last concert.
A beautiful, unaffected performance from La Brightman, long before they started messing around with the lyrics and ramping up the whole show. Less is more.
The way Ms Brightman's voice cascades down the music scale at the very end I don't think any other singer could do it half as well. Superb! Like the songbird in my garden, only better!
I swear this will sound cheesy, but I have not heard another song that has touched my soul how this has. [Insert the irritated comments about how cheesy that was]
