I say your nuts. Gerard Butler is a great singer same with Emmy Rossum.

Hey, listen, to say that Butler seems to know the Phantom better than Crawford would be, imho, nuts. The portrayal Crawford (or any other broadway singer who played Erik) put across was of a sensitive, tortured, perhaps slightly demented middle-aged plus plus man who fell in love with his idea of what beauty and music should be.

Butler came across as... the Vicomte with a bad case of acne.

And swearing really doesn't help you, you do realise that.

I'm not saying the movie doesn't deserve to be credited as a movie (any more than those fall-flat-on-your-face sequals out there). I think what those not in favour of Butler's singing are trying to put across is basically this: Sir Webber made an awful choise of cast.

Since when was 'sexy' defined by a person's physique anyway? How shallow has the community become?
