When he lines "let you darker side give in, to the power of the music that I write" and he looks straight at the camera, it kinda feels like he is singing those lines to you. Saw him in Phantom in November and he was amazing.

In a word he is amazing

THe best voice for this song, out of all the options. By far!!!

I count my experience of attending Phantom at West End twice with John Owen-Jones singing this role one of my greatest blessings of life.

Yea he is brilliant, Seen him on TV over the years doing these performances and adverts for it on TV with him- Went and saw Phantom with him in it recently a few months ago was ace

Saw John as the phantom. Been waiting to see this show since I was 9. Gave me goosebumps

I agree best ever Phantom seen him 3 times at various times. Far better than MC even

I think if you aren’t already drawn into the unorthodox “natural” voice of Crawford and Hugh Panaro’s Phantoms, then JOJ is the absolute best stage / trained Phantom that you could hope for. He’s the perfect blend of trained performance real deliverance of an organic fictional “living under the lair” Phantom out there.

I consider him second best to Crawford in terms of beautiful Phantom singing, and third to Crawford and Panaro in terms of organic Phantom singing. Either way - absolutely love his approach & approach to it. He’s the most “technically accurate” Phantom that I like/love.

Wow he is awesome he’s really put his heart and soul into this

He's just stunning.

Crawford gets credit for developing the template for subsequent phantoms but vocally he's not in the class of Kamriloo and not within a zip code of John Owen Jones. JOJ's acting--and the fact that he is only one of two or three artists to play Jean Valjean and the Phantom on both the West End and Broadway puts him in a class by himself. Unless you can claim to have seen them all--which I have--doing the entire show, how can you compare them? Certainly, not from one song.

Wow the note at the end, amazing !!

Charming!

One of my favorites, if now the one- he’s so passionate and his acting is incredible as well

I'm not sure about the new Phantom Adam,its Ben Forster and there are mixed reports about him.Someone has posted audio of him on YT.I had thought about seeing the show again but Ben's voice doesn't seem to cut it.

Each performer brings something unique and special to the role. His emotive ability (and vocal smoothness) makes him among the very, very best at this role.

This Phantom. Mesmerizing. Stellar. Stunning. Swooning.

Now that's the way the song is to be sung. I just clicked away from a horrible rendition on the X Factor, the guy over there was butchering this song. Love JOJ. It takes a real "cast" Phantom to do this song justice.

THE BEST Phantom of all time. Gillian Lynne knew that.

the only one that truly speaks "Sweet Intoxication"

This video should have millions of views... John IS Erik.

Magnificent.

John Owen-Jones along with Ramin Karimloo will be THE BEST phantoms i have seen...!!! And i've now seen this musical a total of 5 times with 5 different phantoms and christines. Speaking of christines i feel that Sierra Boggess & Celinde Schoenmaker were the best that i've seen in the 5 productions i've presently been to. This musical is so captivating folks that even though i've been 5 times now i could go 5 more and STILL have a whole bevy of new insights about it. And on that note the main reason i go is for the different performers. I feel like i walk away with a different experience each time. And obviously i only go to a show that has a different phantom and christine being played. I must say i did see the phantom played by Anthony Warlow and that was a mind blowing experience. Just based on the sheer fact that he's a baritone. And Weber specifically wrote the part of the phantom to be played by a tenor. But i have to say i liked Warlow's deeper voice for this role. Because it added a sense of commanding authority to the part i think the phantom needed. So my hats off to Warlow for pulling it off so perfectly with his baritone voice. I have also seen Norm Lewis who also has a GORGEOUS baritone voice. However, i felt his voice was to deep for the role. Where as Warlow was able to hit many of phantoms tenor high notes easily. Warlow certainly has a wonderful range i must say. I also should mention here that my critique's of these singers comes from me singing as well. I'm a tenor 1 borderline contralto. And i've sung professionally with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and many other 100 voice professional choirs. Anyway folks if you haven't seen this tremendously beautiful and moving musical masterpiece. You MUST get tickets and go it will leave an impact on you for sure...!!! And especially, if you get a chance to see it performed "similarly" to the people i've mentioned above and there professionalism.

Great rendition! But I cannot for the life of me understand why Michael Crawford is being so highly rated. Out of all the interpretations of this role that I've come across, he's by far the worst in my opinion. No real strength or resonance to his voice.. it just falls flat to me.
