They will never be Il Divo nor do I think they were trying to be but I thought they did a beautiful version of the song. Great job.

In fact, I feel confident that once these guys finish puberty (LOL), they could in all honesty perform very well both vocally and with physical appearance as the Phantom. They should consider it. Where's their agent? We need to start planning ... grinnn

Why are you people coming here to bash these guys? It's ok to have your opinions but why bash them, every group have their own sound and it would be really boring if they sounded just like the IL Divo's. What's unique about this group is their soft, soothing and angelic voice. The IL Divo's are great and so are these guys. No need to be compared because they're great in their own ways. Go watch other videos if you're going to bash these tallented guys.

Well done. 4 pretty boys ruined a beautiful songs. At least they're good at spoiling it.

Glad to see someone appreciate it for what it is :-)Just have to say one thing tho, it's not actually the Paris Opera House...Simon did however perform "All I Ask Of You" there at Halloween with Gina Beck which is on yt if you search for Historic Phantom Performance.Unfortunately they did have problems with the sound not being fed in their ears, I think they sound fab anyway...but I could be biased x

A rather mediocre performance, if you ask me. If this is what Il Divo's replacement is going to look like, I'll kill myself.

As a "pop" version, this is very well done. Obviously it was not meant to be a theatrical version, so in of itself, its very good. Andrew is very particular on who and how anything from Phantom is recorded. So this obviously has his approval. As does mine :) Its also very nice to see the Paris Opera House in the final sequence.

One of them is IN the actual show!And it isnt supposed to sound like the version in the musical or it wouldn't work as a track on it's own.It's supposed to be a well known song from a musical done with a pop twist, which I'm sorry but I feel is exactly what it is.I agree if it was performed that way in POTO I'd probably have a moan myself, but it isn't being and that was never what it was going to be for

I must agree with DrumMajor7. The emotion needed for this song just isn't there. The seductivity is completely missing - the despair and yearning is all but faded!! Where as vocally, its sound, (not out of tune) - but its flat emotionally. Please, please, someone ask them to watch the actual show!!!
