Singing Teacher Reacts Nicole Scherzinger - The Phantom of the Opera | WOW! She was... 

Thanks for inviting me into your channel! It was such good fun bouncing ideas off one another, and to such an amazing performance to boot! P.S. Miss Donaldson is a legend. If you’re reading this, I hope you’re well! 🥰

she is one of the most underrated singer in the industry

She's not opera trained singer, but let's be honest, not every normal pop star can sing this song at the same level as Nicole, and I'm not saying it like a fan, but i say like person who since 4 years old is professionally trained in different music genres, seriously i can say that this woman is vocally much better than most of the world's famous singers for example (Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and others) NO HATE!!!

All four of these men have indeed played the Phantom in the past - all in the West End. In the order you hear them sing: - John Owen-Jones (aka JOJ) - generally thought of as one of the best Phantoms and is one of the actors who has played the role the most times in the world (same is true for his time in Les Mis as Valjean) - Ramin Karimloo - one of best known modern actors in the role, thanks to his performance in the 25th anniversary concert - Simon Bowman - best known for originating the role of Chris in Miss Saigon opposite Lea Salonga - Earl Carpenter - like JOJ he is generally thought to be one of the best in the role (and also has a long history with Les Mis - just as Javert instead of Valjean)

All 4 of these guys at one time actually played the part of the Phantom.

I always loved this version because it gave me hope that an alto like myself could have any shot at all of playing Christine

She was sick during this performance and didn't want to cancel she did good being sick

Considering Nicole Scherzinger was under the weather for this performance, it was impressive for her to muscle through using her classical training.

If you want to see more Nicole, I would HIGHLY suggest her, 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina,' if you haven't yet. Andrew Lloyd Webber chose her to sing for a performance himself

when nicole's voice is much higher than my salary.

Ramin is the best Phantom in my humble opinion. Second is John Owen Jones.

The Phantoms in the series they sang first - John Owen Jones, Ramin Karimloo, Simon Bowman, Earl Carpenter - they've all played the title character in the West End production. All amazing.

I believe these are all previous phantoms. I'm not sure if this is how they performed as the phantom or not, but either way I like this performance they did with Nicole.

One of the Phantoms, Ramin Karimloo, Tweeted on the day of that Nicole had a cold that night. Would have never known because Nicole slayed that.

Yes!!! Very smart to notice that the Phantom with the beard (Ramin) is matching Nicole's voice. His personality is like that. Loveeee him!!

Y’all are being haters, lol. This version is amazing from start to finish!

How could two vocal experts and "Phantom" fans not know who John Owen-Jones & Ramin Karimloo are? lol

Oh please listen to Sierra Boggess sing phantom of the opera! It’s with Ramin and their considered the best duo for Christine and the phantom

One very talented singer!

Fun fact - ALW wanted to focus on Christine being able to hit extremely high notes but also get deep in the voice and show this really low deep vibe in her singing. Because Sarah Brightman had such an insane range!!!

Your enthusiasm is over the top

1John Owen Jones 2 Ramin Karimloo 3 Simon Bowman 4 Earl Carpenter. All excellent previous Phantoms.

Please can u react more videos of Nicole? Her voice is nuclear. Please react more nicole's lives

The guy with beard is Ramin Karimloo the Phantom you reacted a week ago.

The bearded Phantom is Ramin Karimloo! Hope you react to more of him.

You and Sam are working together? I’ve been subscribed to him for years! This is going to be fun.

To counter this....watch Sierra Boggess singing with her four phanyoms on broadway

Luv your reacts! Please sing for us.🌹❤

I think I knew at one point that Nicole could sing better than a typical pop singer. But wow! WOW!!!!!!!!!! Even though she isn't producing the final (sing for me) notes the way most Christine's would, she still sounded great. Like...surprisingly so. Each time she was about to go to the next note up, I thought, "she's bound to screw this up..." yet she never did. Genuinely impressed. That's a lot of strength and control for hitting those notes that way, no? (I ask because I've been singing all my life but any classes I took were with many people, so I didn't get a significant technical education. So sometimes I'm less certain about what I hear.)

DUDE I recognized Ramin's voice first, then his eyes.

Love this! Please react more to Nicole :) my fav is her don’t cry from me Argentina:)

The phantoms have been previous phantoms but Ramin is the phantom with the beard and he has only played the phantom in London.

Never hear of her. But this is one of my favorites or my favorite musical and I am sure I recognice two of this voices, no idea who they are, but that are two phantoms or three I have hear. I love this performance.

If you ever wanted to do something not musical related, there is this show called the masked singer. Maybe you could react to the singers without actually seeing them. Maybe you could guess along with the panel. Nicole is also a judge on there. Idk just a really far fetched idea :)

Nicole is an incredible singer, but Sarah Brightman from the 1987 broadway, was the absolute best, no one can touch her IMO

Hope you react to Ramin's 'Til I Hear You Sing too! It's from Love Never Dies 🤩

I believe she was sick during this performance 😱😷 incredible

She was telling them to "loosen up her buttons" with those looks lmao

@songs from a suitcase i have just found your channel. Are you still in Thailand? Greeting from Bangkok

Shes really good coz shes a half filipina you know what filipino can do in singing

You should give this a watch, Ramin, singing the best known song from LND aside from the title: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OJiR1KOrNgU.html Fun fact! When he was made cover Phantom at 26 in London, he was the youngest actor ever to portray Erik. ALW was so impressed that he hired Ramin for the sequel and so this song was written and composed fir his voice alone. No one else can sing it like him. And yes, he has that twang in his voice often. His Erik is very....very broken. But beyond that, he has a broad grass band he sings in and likes some country and folk. IMO his tastes influence his voice. He is not formally trained but rather self taught as well!

Yes they are all former Phantoms!

Lol @ "Scher-in-zinger". It's Scher-zinger. Where's the extra IN coming from? 😂

I appreciate that the analysts are mainly attempting to identify what she is doing, but I didn't really agree with quite a lot of the commentary here. As the analysts noted, Scherzinger is singing the part her way rather than trying to conform to some musical theatre standard. But I don't think that's because she is reflecting some kind of pop singer training. I think it's because she's, you know, an international singing megastar and doesn't think she has to copy anyone else. You can see her doing much the same on her "Never enough" version, where she uses head in parts when other singers belt, not because she couldn't belt it (she does belt the same notes in the piece when she wants to) but because she wants to do it her way. I think it's the same here. When most singers do that part at the end, they go big and resonant in their sound because that's how they can be secure in notes that high and because that's how they want to impress. Scherzinger chooses instead to do something vocally harder. She does high head voice notes with perfect control but at a restrained volume, demonstrating a high degree of vocal mastery. She maintains enough resonance for a kind of angelic beauty in the sound, but with very impressive control. That's not some limitations from her training or instinct. That's her vocal choices. Sarah Brightman of course defined the role. She's great, but you can hear a clear change in her vocal tone when she shifts to the C near the end. She suddenly makes a much narrower sound (she did that even when she was at her peak; I'm not talking about her recent performances). Scherzinger maintains a more even quality across all those high passages, which feels more polished. Scherzinger also has better deep notes than Brightman, near the start. But I prefer Brightman's first "The Phaaantom", so you pays your money and you takes your choice. There are some comments below about the little waver on Scherzinger's last note. That seemed clearly to me to be a choice, a kind of surrender to a little shriek, perhaps partly of despair or perhaps with a sexual connotation. I don't hear any flaw there. For what little it's worth (not much), I hear two flaws. She sings "speaks my name, and do I" as if she has a slight cold. (That might have been literally the case.) And her vibrato at the start of "phaaantom" (at about 0.51) is wavering slightly wrong. Otherwise her singing is immaculate and deliberate - as she always is.

Love how people love to judge other but would never be on a stage like that. Just saying and I thank you. :).

I'm confused this song has always been dark. Not sure what she's on about.

Apparently she was sick this performance if she was then man she still was amazing as hell

It would be awesome if you reacted to some songs from the guy who didn’t like musicals for starkids!

2024 NICOLE IS BACK DOIN SUNSET BLVD SHE FABULOUS.

Yes very dark and sexual. That's what makes this work👍

Can you pleeeaaaaase react to Michael Ball's Empty Chairs at Empty Tables??? Or his cover version of The Phantom of the Opera with Lesley Garret???? PLEEEAAASE! That would make me sooo happy and you won't regret it. He's fantastic!

People seem to overlook the fact that Nicole is classically trained. She has the chops, but people just seem to know her from Pussycat Dolls.

no disrespect but it just baffles me that you haven't seen/hear these four play The Phantom for real. i mean the two phantoms at the front is a dead give away, Ramin Karimloo (left) and John Owens Jones (right) played as The Phantom with Sierra Boggess as Christine. i do agree when you say that Nichole play Christine in a different way. it seemed like she was the one entrancing the phantoms instead of the other way around but overall, the whole performance is absolutely beautiful.

Off topic, but the Phantoms are HOT AF

Omg! You didn't recognize Ramin from the 25th? He's the one who your friend refers to as "in my mind he's the phantom". I'm not a big fan of this presentation.

It’s a Phantom sing off!

The fact the she's a judge on the masked singer is kinda disrespectful to her talents. Why was Nicole not a Broadway star?

"SHE" cuz Nicole is a woman. She is an underrated artisrt just because she came as a pop artist before !!! People should see/listen to her more. sort of, get acquainted with her talents...again! Andrew Lloyd Webber was there I think.

Pls can u react to bebe rexha live : ( you cant stop the girl) on ellen pls this performance has so much to analyze. Love ur vids 🌹💙💙💙💙💙💙

You guys just lol , you can probably only teach my parakeet how to sing lol Especially that chunk on the right ... I wanna see you both try to sing that opera

React to vocal group ,,Cosmos" various songs .

They are indeed past Phantoms. Ramin Karimloo is my favourite. I know you've reacted to him before. Perhaps you didn't recognise him without the makeup.

I like your reaction. And i loved nicole. She is sexy and has a good voice. Nexylt please react PRIVACY VIDEO PERFORMANCE BY SECRET NUMBER. thank yo.❤️❤️❤️❤️

OH OH MISS NICOLE: A LITTLE FINAL CRACK IN THE VOICE ? THE MEN ARE BETTER ...

BTW, Nicole is a classically trained opera singer...

Hahahaha You lost validation not knowing who the males were they're all very famous in your field

ok like but is just to much stop stop stop video

Sorry ... terrible reaction. You stop the video too frequently for me.

Can you please not cut videos without finishing the footage and doing a transition. It makes me not want to click on your content if I’m going to be hit with that outro in the face. Slowwwwww dowwwwwn a bit thanks 🙏

Try Phantom of the Opera sung by Henk Poort and Floor Jansen on Dutch TV show Beste Zangers. Ask Sam about it... :)

U clicked the reaction video for a reason if u don’t like her pausing then why’d u come in the first place this is a singing teacher reacting 🤣 the music video still exists if u wanna listen to it

You ought to reactto Nightwish version

Lady, please pronounce her last name correctly. It's pronounced shell -zinger not shell len zinger.

#Colloquialism #MsDonaldson #BangOn

The girl in green is faking her laugh and overeacting too

Welp, reaction videos do tell a lot about the people that film them. I honestly hope you are feeling better now, Songs From A Suitcase. You have a cool voice. Maybe if you paid a little more attention to your body?

Is she a singing teacher or a morphing face teacher?

Please try not to pause as much, though. It's hard to watch.

I don't know why but I think they are just making fun of Nicole, that sucks 👎

That was the worst reaction video, so stop start that you forget the people who are singing so we listen to you drivel on, I'm a musician myself and to hear music constantly stop start was absolutely soul destroying. You are clearly very good at what you do, but please listen through and at the end break it down to your thoughts, had to turn it off. Sorry just being honest

You stop it so many times. Its hard to watch.

Nooooo! It was awful! I’m sorry, but this is not how Christine sounds.
