The Point of no Return comparison - Phantom's part 

Jacob Price It’s quite amazing, because the Phantom can be interpreted as any of those tropes.

Who is JVJ?

Hello Friends John valjean I think.

Jacob Price interesting analysis. Crawford for the win lol

Oh god, I just reached Barbour. No key change here, he’s just horrifically flat the entire intro section.

listen to the john owen jones segment

Literally every aspect of Ramin's phantom is carbon copied from John Owen Jones. While JOJ was phantom, Ramin was Raoul.

Matthew cammele also does it , he was understudy to JOJ , I think they both liked what JOJ, Matthew cammele was a seriously underrated phantom

Right after Michael.

I saw Hugh live right before he left Phantom and he was absolutely amazing! His voice in person is so haunting and truly fits the role of The Phantom

Michael is the original. Hugh portrayed the phantom perfectly. Love them both for those reasons❤

He acts like Piangi perfectly

+Weronika K This is great. My favorites are as follows. All done as you chronologically put them. John Owen Jones, Geronimo Rauch, Jonathan Roxmouth Hugh Panaro and Norm Lewis. :)

No Ramin :"I

Agree with Crawford and Panaro ❤

Who knows, maybe it just didnt sound right

They changed a bit here and there throughout the entire thing over the years. I think ALW just thought it was better and liked to change things up like Lucas with Star Wars.

D Doyle I believe it’s only Italian because they’re trying to imitate Piangi, as Christine believes he is for the first half.

Ramin is the only person that I can hear the Italian accent with. The whole point is to deceive Christine. Even though they have the cloak, she's heard him sing. While I think it's crazy that an accent could disguise the voice, it worked. What I love with Ramin's version is that you can hear him slip out of the accent with each phrase

Hugh panaro. he's the most like the phantom in the book

Lovett is not bad....

+hetty goodman Hello :) Thanks for commenting my video! I have two full audios of Steve Barton as the Phantom, but the one I used is definitely clearer.

I think on youtube there is only a short part of Steve's PONR, but I can upload it if you wish

I have seen the video that you are talking about.I think that he was performing in a reading/workshop of some sort...Is version that you are offering to upload the full song??Either way,thanks so much for the offer!!

+hetty goodman I've just posted the audio :)

Thanks!!!

I think the one with Gina Beck Idk tho

I just relized this was 2 years later 😂😂

TheMsiaddict what happened

Sarabara Back rib dislocation.

Whoops! That's right, my mistake! I most likely unzipped the wrong recording :P

I think he's more off key than off tempo haha, he hits some notes way too sharp. He does that a lot and no one ever seems to notice/comment on it lol. I'm not even sure the "abandon thought" were the right notes at all

blackngold cuttlefish exactly. Everyone can mess up, Ramin is not immune. ( though Stans May try to convince otherwise.) lol. He always seems a little sharp, and at worse shrieky. I completely agree, also the diction on “ Abandon thought” seemed off. “ Nyahbandon thougT” ***the reason I say off tempo is because he seems to be struggling to keep pace with the pit.

@@theghostinthemirror8158 Lol I'm glad someone else sees it! (hears it). I don't hate him or anything, I was fine with him being the Phantom in the 25th Anniversary, etc., because you can tell he put thought into each action/movement/inflection he made, etc. But he's not as flawless as people seem to make out. And I definitely agree about the shrieks...his voice is harsh and sort of hard to listen to sometimes.... And yeah, maybe he was overly trying to inflect/emote upon certain words that he got off key and off tempo haha (haha "Nyyyaaahbaandon thought" * wrong notes * ) Also in the 25th Anniversary, during the graveyard trio, he was definnnnetly glass-shatteringly off

blackngold cuttlefish oh during that scene he could bust your eardrums. Don’t hate him though. Always just found him a little young for phantom, ( and perhaps a touch sharp) my main problem with the 25th is Sierra ( like her in other things but she’s just _not_ Christine.) lol. But fans are annoying though that’s neithers fault

I’m almost mad they used that clip. A video comparing different Phantoms and he uses what could very well be the worst clip available for Ramin.

Totally agree. Colm just doesn't have the smoothness or seductiveness or sustain for that matter. And Steve has too much vibrato, it's distracting. I love him as Raoul, it suits his voice, but as phantom, no.

Colm will always be JVJ. Not the Phantom😂

Katharina Krause Are you talking about Gerard Butler? If you are I personally think he was great as The Phantom and he's my favorite.

Isostormgamer 558​ yeah I am and he's also my fav! I grew up with him as the phantom.

PCMasterRace I can't even begin to imagine the amount of dislikes your comment has lol

Alaska Fish & Game I find Ramin a little young for the role, and Sierra just b o t h e r s me, just the way she plays it....like a love affair when (in my opinion) it should be played like a twisted obsession. And then she awkwardly garbles her words sometimes. Idk, both are great in other shows, just not my favourite in Phantom.

The ghost In the mirror I completely agree with you, both are miscast

omfg let's be besties. I find them so supremely overrated. They both have strong voices, and are very attractive (Ramin being waaaay to young to play the role btw) but I always thought acting wise they were subpar. I never felt much genuine emotion from them, its always either just not there, or exagerrated and played for the cameras.They are talented but miscast
