Who do you prefer Sarah Brightman or Emmy Rossum singing the songs from "Phantom.." — Page 2

I am currently working on a song called "What more do I nee" from Saturday Nights. And I heard Sarah sing it, and I was surprised, the music seems unlike her, but I enjoyed it though.

although props to emmy for doing it at such a young age.

If I have to choose between the two of them then I guess Emmy. I cannot stand Sarah Brightman. From the first time I heard her sing I did not like her. I just think she's too over the top for me. But if I had to choose another person I might choose Claire Moore. I thought she did a wonderful job and she has a beautiful voice.

definitely Sarah!

There is no question...Sarah Brightman. Even though I don't care for her voice, she is a strong soprano. Emmy Rossum, although quite beautiful in looks, doesn't have a strong soprano voice and would have never been selected to sing the leads witha any opera company. The movie, with the exception of Patrick Wilson, really shortchanged us in the vocal department.

Neither.

Sarah Brightman is the devil's assistant and Emmy Rossum is a lump of non talent.

Bobby-lump of non-talent, WOW what a discription. Right on the money.

Sarah Brightman over Emmy OF COURSE. Emmy's voice was sub-par, and honestly I cannot belive they cast her. I found it sad that I didn't even remotely enjoy her vocals at all until "Point of No Return", which is the secong to last sequence in the show. Sarah Brightman has a much stronger voice. How are we to belive that Christine is vocally better than Carlotta when, with Emmy Rossum, she obviously isn't?

.....HOWEVER, in terms of the best Christine I have ever seen, I would definitely have to say LISA VROMAN.....She IS Christine. Her rendintion of the role is fabulous, and left me wishing that the show would just continue on, and on!

.....I also enjoyed performences by Marie Danvers and Rebecca Pitcher.

Later!

Niether.

I agree with Pinguin. I haven't heard a Christine that I like. Though I think "Think of Me" and "Wishing You Were Here Again" are wonderful songs, along with most of what Christine sings. If I had to pick though, Emmy. Cannot stand Sarah at all.

Don't like either of them. However, since it's between the two, Brightman. Rossum didn't do anything for me. She's a weak soprano.

definitely Emmy, I cannot stand Sarah's voice

I def say Emmy rossum!!! Sarah's voice is so annoying! (no offense to anyone) Keep in my mind Emmy was only like 17 and for her to those notes is awsome!! I'm a huge emmy fan.....

Emmy's voice was too weak for the role. I couldn't stand listening to her.

>>>I love Sarah's 'Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" and "Phantom of the Opera" I find her weak on other parts. As for her age, I don't find her to sound that old, and Christine really isn't supposed to be all that young, not as young as Emmy Rossum played her, that was purely for cinematic effect.

Christine was, indeed, NOT written as a teen in the ALW musical. Schumacher had to have a sexy, young man in the lead, and so it followed (to him) that he should pair him with an underage girl. Makes sense to me! Way to go, Joel!
