Patrick Wilson singing
Oh What a Beautiful Morning
from the Broadway revival of
Oklahoma! from a few years back.
He was a wonderful Raoul in the 2004
movie version of The Phantom of the
Opera - & is quite an exceptional singer,
as can be heard in the following short clip,
where he sings Prima Donna from PotO,
(below). He's got a great voice, & hits
those notes effortlessly! :D
Hilarious scene from The Phantom of the Opera (2004).
Minnie Driver's character, Carlotta, is a panic! xD
Enjoy!
Beyoncé - If I Were A Boy (link)
Can't post the vid, but can post
the link to it. I'm more of a music
person, as I can't always catch
the lyrics - & at first the words to
this song were kind of confusing.
However, the melody & Beyoncé's
beautiful singing drew me to the
video, which makes the meaning
clear.
Am actually more familiar with
the work of Beyoncé's sister
Solange Knowles, from the enter-
taining cheerleader-themed movie
(yes, you heard right), Bring It On:
All or Nothing (2006), with
Gus Carr & a hilarious (IMO)
performance by Heroes star
Hayden Panettiere - talented
performers all.
Enjoy!
From one of your many Phantom phans! :D
Having only been recently introduced to the
character of Erik (the Phantom), I found it
to be an extraordinary story that shook me
to my roots. I'd of course heard of the
1925 silent movie starring the great Lon
Chaney as The Phantom of the Opera, based
on the 1910 Gaston Leroux novel, Le Fantôme
de l'Opéra. The story that struck me, however,
was the 2004 version starring Gerard Butler,
Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson, Jennifer
Ellison, & Miranda Richardson - directed by
Joel Schumacher, with an outstanding score
with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, and
lyrics by Charles Hart.
I like musicals when they are well done.
IMO, this had everything I look for in a tale
well told, & then some.

concerning a review of
The Quest for Shakespeare:
The Bard of Avon and the Church
of Rome, by Joseph Pearce -
and its author's reply.
“Look at this other one, who seems to
want to give his whole life for God, whose
ardor all the torments there are cannot
damp. A tiny bit of scandalmongering …
a word of calumny … even a slightly cold
reception or a small injustice done to him …
a kindness returned by ingratitude …
immediately gives birth in him to feelings
of hatred, of revenge, of dislike, to the point,
often, of his never wishing to see his neighbor
again or at least of treating him coldly with
an air which shows very plainly what is
going on in his heart. And how many times
is this his waking thought, just as it was the
thought that almost prevented him from
sleeping? Alas, my dear brethren, we are
poor stuff, and we should count very little
upon our good resolutions!” - Source
