Patrick Wilson & Emmy Rossum - All I Ask of You MP3 — Page 2

Another thing, I'm so glad it's not Sarah Brightman. I don't think I could stand that. Becasue when I think of Christine (thanks to her) of think of some bland 30 year old woman.... (yes she can sing , but she's so bland. It's like look I can, sing I'm the best person here, screw the character bit.)

It's not her fault she's young--it's the studio exs' faults that they cast someone so young.

That clip made me go rewatch the trailer, and it just brought up a lot of questions. Will they make it sexual but not overly sexual? Will they give the Phantom (Erik, bloody bastard ALW never gave him his name...) a heart or just be cruel, as I've seen him be portrayed sometimes. Why does he have a plethora of masks each changing where he is disfigured.

And then there's the biggest question of all...

Where the hell is there a swordfight in any adaptation?!!?!

I have to go read the Persia part from Susan Kay's Phantom to settle my stomach now...

That scared the crap out of my as well CatsNYrevival. I've listened to the song about 5 times now, and its freaks me out everytime!

you know something, this sounds really weak to be coming from a film (the production). And also, I wonder how she sang with Pavarotti and such with a weak voice (also the song she sings in SONGCATHER, her voice is so much stronger). Oh well. It might be better in the movie.

And Sarah, you are correct

eek! emmy is sooo soo not the best singer in paris! she is too shaky. i knew they should have cast marni raab! she's one of the best christines!

Thanks spider. If there's one thing I know, it's Phantom. Every in and out, out and in...

Except how he disappears at the end. No one will tell me that. But facts, well, those I can give you without thinking.

If you guys are having problems, go to the ALW interview link I gave you and fast forward into it about 30 minutes

Love Patrick, her voice is very sweet sounding and young as has been said, but maybe that's what they were going for. This is just a thought, but maybe it's a directorial choice that she sing softly at this point. The tempo is slower than the Broadway recording and I'm thinking, based on lyrics, and this point in the show, etc. maybe they wanted her to sing it softly and sweetly and not wail? I suppose we'll find out in December.

Oooooooh, I really like it. I remember Patrick's voice from the tour of "Carousel" when he played Billy, and was a nobody (and I can say I knew... or "saw" him then). Rossum's voice sounds very mature, and I've read people worrying about her age.

I think the slower tempo has folks thinking they sound bored. I think the pacing will be perfect with the action in the scene. They've escaped to the roof top, Christine is rattled and Raoul is being gentle and soothing to calm her nervous. Plus it allows plenty of time to intercut to the Phantom watching all this take place. The more rapid tempo is needed on stage.

I think it will be very romantic and I am amazed at how calm and reassuring Patrick makes Raoul sound...too bad that can't be bottled and marketed! LOL!

("Raoul" is a contrast to his next role where he plays a 32 year old guy who meets young girls on the internet, gets one to meet him and takes her home... It's an indie thriller/brain teaser named "Hard Candy" which he just finished filming.)

I hope Gerry is better than that. I hope his knocks everyones pants off with his voice!
