    Earworm: A mish-mash of songs found in Phantom of the Opera

    My sis had been anticipating the release of POTO for quite some time, so before we watched the movie she put the POTO original soundtrack (the one with Sarah Brightman) into the CD player. This CD has been played repeatedly since I was a wee tot i suspect, since all the songs were familiar, and soon enough we were displaying our vocal prowess for all to hear.

    The Phaaaaaaaaan-tom of the Operrrrraaaaa is here/there
    Inside my/your mind!!!!!!!!!

    It steadily worsened when I actually watched the movie last Sunday with Carlyn, another bout of catterwauling was in store for the neighbours.

    Masqueraaaaaaaaade, paper faces on parade!!!!
    Hide your face so the world will never find you!

    By this time I think the neighbours cursed for us to be stuffed somewhere deep in the sewers of the Phantom's lair.

    A few days later, my sis visited the cinema with son of Victor. luckily she had the sense not to sing out loud in the cinema. But when she returned she was already bursting with song.

    *assumes the voice of the Phantom* My Pow-wer over yooooouuu, grows stronger yet...
    *suddenly changes to the high voice of Meg giry* Where in the world have you been hiding,really you were perfect....

    Okay, okay, I think thats enough Phantom songs for the blog. Just need to get some of them outta my system.

    The movie itself, like everyone said, Emmy Rossum did a great job singing, although i prefer Sarah Brightman, the phantom was not very likeable and when he took off his mask he was not as horribly disfigured as i imagined. Besides, Raoul had a better voice than him.
    Scenes I do like>> the beginning where the chandelier was lifted and everything changed from black and white to rich colours. a bit overdramatic but the booming theme song sent chills down my spine.
    The symbolism of the musical monkey. so touching. i suppose sometimes i do feel for the phantom after all.
    The Masquerade scene. the co-ordination of the dances was fabulous

    Scenes I don't fancy>>> whatever that has La Carlotta as the centre of attention. Horrendous accent.
    The climax of the theme song when neither of them could reach the high notes.

    I think I'll rate it 7/10
