Her performance, though, isn’t the only one worth mentioning in this post. I mean, her rendition of “ Think of Me” is phenomenal. Not only crazy because she was 16 and that’s what she was doing with her life, but also that she was only 16 and her vocal range was nuts. Like, excuse me, what!? 16 years old! That’s crazy. I am blown away that Emmy Rossum was only 16 at the time of filming this movie.
Okay, that’s enough about Gerard Butler’s performance for now. So, at this point the Phantom is unmasked and dangerous, but that doesn’t stop the fact that Gerard Butler in these high-waisted pants and deep v-neck shirt really does it for me. He’s dangerous, and he needs to, well, sound dangerous. The Phantom’s singing voice has to lure Christine in. I think it helps that his voice stands out, in a good way, from the others. He’s an untrained singer singing freaking Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music. However, when you consider that the first time he had ever even taken a singing lesson was just shortly before he auditioned for the film, I’m impressed. Like, inĬomparison, he’s miles ahead of Russell Crowe in Les Miserables and they’re both ahead of Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia! Yes, Butler’s voice isn’t as operatic. I don’t think Gerard Butler did a terrible job as The Phantom. This post could also be titled: The Phantom of the Opera: Gerard Butler wasn’t a terrible Phantom.
