I can fully argue the fact that the title song is most definitely not lip - synced the whole way through, and I am honest and my sources are credible. Yes, the song "The Phantom of the Opera" is pre - recorded until the character of Christine begins to sing "Those who have seen your face, draw back in fear......". This is due to the fact that two separate sets of doubles are used in the song aside from the actual performers. The real performers are not seen until the gondolier moves onstage. In the matter of Christine's notes at the end of the song, a recording is not always used. Whenever they cast a new actress for the role of Christine (includes understudy's and stand-by's) they are recorded singing the title song. The actress can decide whether or not she want to use the recording at the end of the song, or sing it live. Those are not easy notes for a singer to reach, so it is understandable that this is done. Any ways, this is an argument that has been had numerous times for a long time, and I think it is finally time to lay it to rest. My sources are entirely credible, and whether or not you choose to believe them that is your choice.
Thanks,
