I hate the English version of pretty much all non-English musicals. Romeo & Juliette, Notre Dame de Paris, Dance of the Vampires (die...), I despise pretty much all of their English versions.

I agree with you- the Notre Dame de Paris translation is pretty horrific. I think the only song I like at all of the translation is "The Birds they put in Cages." The Romeo and Juliette translated songs just make me laugh, which I don't think was the intention.

According to my friends, the Romeo & Juliet English lyrics are so bad, that they're almost "good" because they're just so god da*n hilarious. However, I do like a few songs from the English Notre Dame de Paris, the few songs that actually have tolerable lyrics. Like "Belle", "The Bohemienne Song", "Live for the one I love", and "The age of the cathedrals".

Well the only thing I've liked of the English "Tanz" is "Original Sin" and "Endless Appitite" sung by Steve Barton.Michael Crawford lost his glow since POTO and even did the exact same thing in WIW as Fosco(not evil Crawford, but I have nothing against him since he is my favorite performers ).

*sigh* I know I'm going to get punched for this, but DOTV just got me started on the wrong foot w/ Michael Crawford. I seriously wish I never saw DOTV. I was so against him after DOTV, that hearing him in POTO pretty much failed to change my negative feelings about him. His voice as the Phantom on the OLC recording never impressed me, and in fact, it now completely bugs me at many points. I just cannot bring myself to like this man. I probably am going a bit too far w/ this, but Michael Crawford really is one of my all-time least favorite actors, and I probably never will like him in anything.

Thats your opinion about a performer. Don't let anyone change your mind because you are "you".
