I got a bunch of different variations of the same track.
Phantom of the Opera!!
First up the one from the movie.
Next Nightwish, Marcos vocals add a creepy and almost deranged element to the phantom. Really cool juxtaposition.
Floor Jansen and Henke Poort
Henke played the phantom in the Dutch version of phantom of the opera. And Floors vocals are... Well, you'll see.
If you get a chance to watch the Dutch TV show Beste Sangers, do so. It's lovely, just good musicians doing good music.
And finally a very dark approach from Jonathan Young and Malinda Kathleen Reece. Jonathan's depiction of the Phantom goes beyond the creepy and slightly deranged phantom that Marko portrays and instead takes the phantom to a place where hiding in the shadows has caused him to descend into madness. Really really great depiction of that character.
The two of them also do phenomenal versions of "the point of no return" and just to show his softer side, "all I ask of you"
I know that's a lot to get through... And the last two are just a bonus. But I hope you enjoy those tracks 👊
Some great ones here -- really like the Young and Reese take on it!
One more as a bonus, from Me First and the Gimme Gimmes:

I think the young/Reece take might be my favourite aswell. It's just very... Dark. Really portrays the characters how I have them in my head.
This is fun, a almost pop punk version. Very different.

I got to see them perform this live. It was incredible. Marcos vocals can go from that growly creepy sound to that high pitch scream so well and easily. It sounds almost like the phantom is cackling and going mad. Such a cool way to do that character.

That must have been pretty cool, how many times have you seen them?
