Sierra. Emmy has a pretty voice, but I only saw her acting during spoken lines. Also, she doesn't even hit the high E. Sierra has a gorgeous voice and acts with it. When she takes "Don Juan's" hood off and sees who it is, she seems genuinely shocked, even though it was evident to the audience. And during the AIAOY reprise 2, she's just like "Oh, no! What have I done? What do I do now?" I don't know why I put that, it's just one of my favorite parts.<br />2. Is this even a valid question? Ramin, obviously. Although Gerry was fine, and a great deal better than I expected, Ramin is still my favorite. I cried the first time I watched STYDI (Ramin's) (and all subsequent times) and if there is one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm not a crier-at-movies. Until it comes to PotO.<br />3. Stage performances that have been turned into movies for your convenience and probably for other reasons too. AKA the 25th anniversary. Best version ever, IMHO.<br />4. This is going to sound really weird.<br />Raoul/Christine in original PotO<br />Erik/Christine in LND<br />This is the weird one: Young Erik/Young Antoinette in the 2004 movie. I have no idea why. I guess because she seems to really care about him and they are the same age. But it couldn't have worked, because they were breaking the law anyway, and they were like 12, and because of Jules. I wonder if Antoinette and Jules were betrothed when she rescued Erik. They were betrothed young back then.<br />I know that was unnecessary. Sorry.<br />5. Hadley Fraser. Surprised? While I recognize that Patrick Wilson has a good voice, I don't particularly like it. I love Hadley's voice and his acting. His expression on "Of course not!" (Notes, in response to Carlotta's accusation) provokes giggles from me every time. And Patrick's wig was awful, but it doesn't classify him as a "fop." The Hairdresser and Jeweler are fops. Raoul is not. That was a caption on a picture I saw, unfortunately I don't remember where I saw it. So if it belongs to one of you, I'm not stealing your rights or anything.<br />6. I haven't seen the whole thing. The first time I read the storyline, I revolted against it, but it's really grown on me. I love the music, except I didn't care for "Bathing Beauty." It sounded too modern-ish.<br />7-10. I haven't read the book. I know I should, but I probably need to learn French, because apparently none of the English translations are reliable. That's what I've heard at least, is it true?<br />Sorry for the very very long comment. Hope I didn't bore you too much.<br />Oh, and I've found LND OLC videos in decent quality, except the Finale is very shaky.

Ramin's voice= MusicHeaven/BestMaleVoiceInTheWorld <br />Gerald Butler only having four voice lessons is no excuse since Ramin never had any and can't read a single note. He just has that much talent. Which is why he's such an inspiration ;) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
