See, I don't know either. Upon watching the movie for the second time and immediately coming home to listen to the original Broadway soundtrack, I realized that both have their merits. At some points, Sarah Brightman's voice annoys me and I think that Emmy did it better. At other times, I think that Sarah did it better b/c her voice is stronger and more trained than Emmy's.

I think I need to see the movie again...you know, for scientific research. Maybe I can get a grant from the MPAA.

OMG! That is a perfect analogy of exactly how I feel about it, too! I have the same feelings about both of them. LOL.

Sarah's got the whole full-voice thing going on. And I certainly love her "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" better. And she's how I've always pictured Christine, my whole life. And I too, went immidiately home and listened to the Original Cast recording w/ her.

...But Emmy's definatly more beautiful and she has the greatest facial expressions! Especially in PONR. And this is going to sound weird, but maybe you know what I mean. (and maybe not.) She is the most amazing onscreen kisser. I mean, most people, you think, "yeah, great, that's cute", or something like that. But watching her, she makes it look good. She makes me WANT it. Like, I wish I was kissing someone right then, too. ...She is so cool.

*sigh*

Thank God Emmy's already won an award (and gotten another nomination) for it. I really hope Phantom wins SOMETHING at the Oscars.

I'm going to see it again Saturday! I've never watched a movie as many times in the theater, not even KB!

I may invest in the movie soundtrack.

I really love this movie. I can't wait until it's out on DVD.

I'm going to see it again, too! Tomorrow! I'm so excited about it!

I know I must love it alot, cause I'm passing up all these other new movies that I haven't seen at all to see Phantom instead.

I can't wait for the DVD either!


Did you see my new sig? I think I'm going to leave this one up for awhile.

Well, for me the movies I really want to see aren't coming out for awhile (namely Be Cool and Sin City), so I'm not missing much. I'm happy to be seeing Phantom over and over and over again. Plus, I get to see the Sin City trailer play on the big screen, so that's a bonus.


I love your sig! Emmy's so beautiful. :::::jealous:::::

Yeah, I wish I knew of a theatre where they were showing good trailers w/ the Phantom. At least I can watch most of them in QuickTime.

So, WHEN are you seeing it again? Saturday?

Did you click on the new link in my sig? That PhantomPhan.net site is up now and it's so cool!

Yeah, I checked out the site. Very cool. I'm waiting for Emmy's official website to be finished.


Yeah, I'm seeing it again Saturday. A new theater just opened up, so me and a couple of friends are going to check it out. Finally, a Saturday where I don't have to work.

Emmy Rossum Offical Site

It's just a banner that says that they're in the process of redesigning it and please be patient. Here's another site that's really good to tide you over, if you haven't been here yet.

Oh, yeah! I LOVE that site! That's where I get all my really good, hi-res pics of her and I also joined the forums, but haven't posted that much yet.

So am I! I'm sure we're not the only ones. Bad time to be redesigning your site, right when you're the hottest, most talked about girl around.

Another thing: In the song TPotO, Emmy's vocalizations at the end were more haunting and fitting to the scene than SB's. Not as strong or as high, but it was still well done.

I love it! LOL. I saw another one that said, "Save the Gondola, Ride the Phantom". But I'd never seen this one. It's great. LOL.

Very true. And there's parts of Angel of Music that I like Emmy's version better.
The Think Of Me's are dead even for me, though.
