5- Laird Mackintosh

6- David Thaxton

7- David Shannon

I say this for every tag I get but wow how do I pick just 9?! I also say this every tag too but at least 4 or 5 of these spots are always changing like weekly. And even though there’s a number next to them they aren’t really in any order. Besides Michael, he is always number 1.

1. Michael Crawford

2. Jonathan Roxmouth

3. Ted Keegan

4. Jeremy Stolle

5. Hong Kwang Ho

6. David Thaxton

7. Mikael Samuelson

8. Norm Lewis

9. Hugh Panaro

Also adding in Ramin, Tim Howar, Josh Piterman, Ben Crawford, Tomas Ambt Kofod, John Martin Bengtsson, Victor Wallace, Derrick Davis, John Owen Jones, Mike Sterling, Gary Mauer, Saulo Vasconcelos, Scott Davies, Espen Grjotheim, Ian Jon Bourg, and Ben Forster. And also Gardar and Bronson, even though they were LND Phantom’s.

Peter Karrie (I’m a huge drama fan for this role and he is as dramatic as it gets! love the kinda nutty and unstable portrayal at the end alot also)

Michael Crawford

Ramin Karimloo

Ethan Freeman (same reason as #1 on the list in his own way)

Ernst Suttheimer (same reason as 1 and 4 haha)

Norm Lewis

Ted Keegam

Scott Davies

Ben Crawford

Also like John Owen-Jones, Davis Gaines, David Thaxton, Jeff Keller,... OK im rambling but anyway I like them pretty much equally. There’s really only 2 I dislike in the role. Easy to please me as Phantom haha 

@opheliarose7​ tagged me to share my favorite 9 Christines and tag 9 mutuals! They change all the time, but here are the ones for today, in no particular order.

Giulia Nadruz | Gina Beck | Kelly Mathieson | Mercedesz Csampai | Sibylle Glosted | Amy Manford | Tamara Kotova | Beatrix Reiterer | Ali Ewoldt

As usual, to make it easier on myself, I’m sticking with Christines I’ve seen live. In no order: Kaitlyn Davis, Jennifer Hope Wills, Kelly Jeanne Grant, Rachel Barrell, Kaley Ann Voorhees, Julie Hanson, Emma Grimsley, Kristi Holden, and Rachel Anne Moore (counting LND because she is AAAH so good)

Just 9?! Alright. And yes these do change up on a weekly basis because I always seem to listen to someone and find a little bit of them that I love that I didn’t hear before haha.

But right now I would say my top 9 are: Sarah Brightman, Elisabeth Berg, Meghan Picerno, Rachel Barrell, Kaley Ann Voorhees, Astrid Giske, Charlotte Page, Sibylle Glosted, Maria Listra, and also I’ll throw in Monika Sommerova, Emma Grimsley, and Adrienne McEwan too cause I’ve been listening to them a bit recently and I loved seeing Emma live.
