I think people just really love his voice. I do, in any case.

Gerard Butler, what are YOU doing here?

(Anonymous) 2011-09-20 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
I can't see him as anyone other than Frank Spencer. Especially when he moves really agilely around the stage or does a really graceful jump.

Oh my god, same! I've never liked him! I thought his voice was all wrong for the part! And I don't like Sarah Brightman, either (in the part)...and the part was WRITTEN FOR HER. But Christine's supposed to be all young and untrained at first and here she comes with this beautiful and perfectly-trained soprano...aaaaaugh. To think I used to be such a raving ALW fangirl when I was young.

ldfja;skdfasdf

these are all my phantom feelings in one comment. i loved emmy rossum's performance because she came off as an ingenue like she was supposed to. gtfo with your warbling, sarah brightman, no1curr!!!

to be all young and untrained at first

Yes this is true. Except at the start of the novel/play/film Christine has already undergone at least months of vocal training with the phantom, not to mention her (at least mediocre) training the years prior.

And the other phantoms aren't? Dude, Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals pretty much run on cheese. Get used to it.

Well he's still better than Gerard Butler. Not to knock him of course, he wasn't the worst Phantom ever.

[identity profile] otakugal15.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
His voice burns my freakin' ears. D:

I know he wasn't perfect, but I'll take Gerard over him ANY day of the week. Though the guy they got for the sequel (i don't like it) had the best voice of the three. I just can't stand the sequel, so I'll still choose Gerard.

....I may not like the sequel, but some of those songs are bad ass. Beauty Underneath? Hot fucking DAMN.

Each to their own. If I read this back when I just entered the fandom years and years ago, I'd be all up in this comment.

But I'm not. Because I've actually heard, seen, and enjoyed other portrayals.

I still think he's the standard and helped Phantom become what it is today. The casting was ingenious and perhaps one of the most iconic things, ever.

But, no, anon, you're fine. As long as you don't like... oh wait, let us head down to the post below this one!

I think the OLC doesn't showcase MC very well...and I've never even seen him live!

I saw the show completely new to the story (I had never heard the music before) and I loved my first phantom (Brad Little). When I bought the OLC, it was quite a shock. MC really had to grow on me because his voice is so different but now I love him. His voice may not be everyone's tastes but his portrayal and understanding of the character has defined how the role has been played for over two decades.

Heck even twenty year old, grainy boots can bring a tear to my eye. Man had soul.

With you on this, anon.

I'll be sitting over here in my corner still waiting for a non-cheese version with actual opera in it.

I'm with you, after hearing Gerard Butler's (and yes, I'm aware he's not a singer by any means) and then Michael Crawford's 'Music of the night', I was quite appaled and wondered what people hear in Crawford's voice. I like Gerard's timbre much MUCH more.
