I'd pay big money to see these two play Christine and Raoul in Phantom. I don't care that Michael is 50 and Sierra is 30. They're absolutely perfect together
She’s alright,but I feel Sarah Brightman will always be THE Christine.If you catch Sarah’s performance with Michael at the 50th Birthday tribute to ALW at Albert Royal Hall in 1998, she was at her peak and her singing/ performance gave me goosebumps,was amazing.
@@a7xguitar666 Yes which is weird because in earlier interviews he said that Sarah Brightman (HIS EX WIFE) was the inspiration on how he felt Christine was like. I feel like he just said that about Sierra because she was popular and was one of the big actresses that sold out almost all of her shows.
I think Sierra is the most beautiful girl to have played Christine, but more than that and her fantastic voice, I love what she brought to the role. She plays a spirited and dynamic Christine and her acting really draws you in. I've seen some Christine float through their performances as if they'd taken too much Ambien and others that really just roll with a two dimensional version of the character that doesn't really make you feel anything. Sierra is like a unicorn - she's got the voice, the looks and the acting chops. Very rare.
Clearly you haven’t see much Christine’s. There’s over 150+ Christine’s WITH videos/audios. Take a look at Monika Sommerova she’s very good at the role also
She was THE BEST Christine. As Ramin was THE BEST phantom hands down. And i'm a singer myself saying this. And have seen Phantom NUMEROUS times with many different musicians performing these two roles. There was just something extra special between Ramin and Sierra.
Here we have two great singers doing an amazing rendition of "All I Ask of You." Not only does Michael Ball have an amazing voice, he really gets into the lyrics. I love the way he looks at her when she is singing and smiles at her. He makes you believe he is really in love with her. Bravo, Michael Ball. You are a master performer.
Every time I listen to this beautiful duet it is the acting and nuance and gesture that touches me. I have heard many stars sing this beautiful song without the chemistry and tenderness and perfection of Sierra and Michael and inconsequential 20 year age difference
I stumbled on this recently and this version is beautiful. I love it when people that duet actually get into the role of the character. It adds so much to the performance.
Robbie Hagberg was on the way here I attended the lights on my way home now and I will you please phone up and see what I have to do after work now and can do it as a good night too as long time ago I understand us for a second
This is the first time I heard this song where I can understand every word that has been sung. Sarah Brightman I never could understand anything she’s saying she just screamed.
I had the privilege to see her last Sunday and get her autograph. She is just an amazing actress, vocalist, and just an all-around positive person. But I have to say, the one thing that made me certain that it was her coming from the stage door, is her beautiful red hair. I saw it and said, "Yep, that's Ariel!" We can't forget who she was before Christine, because she might not be Christine if she didn't impress Andrew as Ariel. Truly an amazing and beautiful person and singer. And to be TRULY both of those, is very hard to come by now. I wish her all my luck and success for her future, no matter how far she is.
+Jake Broer Congratulations! She is the only star in my 71 years of living that I would like to have a autograph from. And I think she knows what it means to people to meet her.
No more talk of darkness Forget these wide-eyed fears I'm here, nothing can harm you My words will warm and calm you Let me be your freedom Let daylight dry your tears I'm here with you, beside you To guard you and to guide you Say you love me every waking moment Turn my head with talk of summertime Say you need me with you now and always Promise me that all you say is true That's all I ask of you Let me be your shelter Let me be your light You're safe, no one will find you Your fears are far behind you All I want is freedom A world with no more night And you, always beside me To hold me and to hide me Then say you'll share with me One love, one lifetime Let me lead you from your solitude Say you need me with you here beside you Anywhere you go, let me go too Christine, that's all I ask of you Say you'll share with me One love, one lifetime Say the word and I will follow you Share each day with me each night, each morning Say you love me, you know I do Love me, that's all I ask of you Anywhere you go, let me go too Love me, that's all I ask of you
Michaels voice so warm and fruity and Sierras glass shattering clarity proves that you do not need to die to get to Heaven. Sir Andrew,s prediction of Sierra's mega stardom is a racing certainty. I hope she will linger on our sceptered Isle but Sierra needs to travel and conquer the world soon. xxxxxxxxxx
The thing Michael Ball knows how hard the musical theatre is to get into so he always supports new up and coming new people coming into the profession he really liked singing with her❤️❤️
The story they portrayed is just pure perfection! So professional but also makes you wish it was all true. Their emotions to the song and character is very very heartfelt.
What I have noticed with the male rendition of this duet is that they approach the vocals differently which I like so much. They both sounded awesome. Bravo..
My 2 faves!!! *sigh*❤❤❤ Though I watched Sierra as Ariel, I wish I’d seen her as Christine… and I had the privilege to track her down last year when she ran for the NY City Marathon as I volunteered! Love this duet, so heavenly and romantic! 🥰
What beautiful a beautiful Love Song sung by two great Artistswith perfectly balanced voices. The Original Songwriter would be very proud of these two great singers rendition of his Song “All I Ask of You”.
I have seen “:Phantom:of……”:both in USA and west end live and on TV, BUT BY FAR Sierra is the best. She hits the notes perfectly. Glad U tube picks it up as I watch many times - still brings tears for the perfect duet
I've loved Sierra for a while now. How could one not? This is the first time I've heard Ball sing and he is great. Thanks for the post. Anything Sierra is good to find.
Every song out of the Phantom was beautiful, powerful, whimsical (Masquerade). I’m partial to Sarah Brightman, but Sierra could stand in any day and not miss a beat. Just marvelous
This is by far the best rendition of All I Ask of You that I've heard. You can feel that Raoul really loves Christine the way Michael Ball sang it. Sierra is the best Christine and I love love love her with Ramin as Phantom. If only Michael Ball was cast as Raoul man, the 25th would have been perfect!
This variation makes me cry and gives me unrealistic expectations of love. Will I stop listening, or have lower expectations? Uhm . Of course not . Lmaooo
Until now Im still amazed and love watching this video.. this version is same as the version from the cassette tape that i’ve listened 30 years ago.. Nostalgic and so much good memories.. ❤️😊
