Dear Michael,
You don't happen to do the voice over for the Aardman Animations cartoon Angry Kid? I have watched a few shows, and it sounds very much like you. If so, good job, if not, you have a very good impersonator. Thanks

Dear Mr.Crawford
I most recently saw you at your concert in Long Beach, Which to say the least was enchanting. I did travel quite aways to see you, however it was worth it just to hear your story about the boat over heating and Sarah Brightman catching on fire. My mom and I had a fabulous time and I do hope I have the pleasure in seeing another concert of yours, perhaps alittle closer next time.

Sincerely Yours, Alcia

Hello Michael.

Dear Michael,

Just a short note to say that I saw your interview with Michael Parksinson at 5am this morning after finishing work. I was so impressed with your words about your natural father and his possible family and not disturbing their privacy. You have put into words just how I feel, thanks so very much. You made me cry tears of happiness. Thanks once again. God Bless

aw cool you ca say "hi" to mr. Crawford here!
WOW HI!!!!!!!!!!!
this is way cooler than snail mail.
Happy Belated Birthday!
sorry it's late, ok i admit i forgot!
you can't blame me i'm dealing with six different school projects.
one of them was due on Jan. 19th and i turned it in like 9 days late. my teacher sreamed at me "THIS WAS DUE JAN. 19TH!" and i'm sitting there thinking "What else was on the 19th?" (drowning her out of course) then i remembered "O My Goodness!!!! IT WAS MICHAEL'S BIRTHDAY." so i hurried home and made a birthday cake and watched Hello Dolly! all night in appreciation (sp?). so i did make you a cake, know that.
i have to go, i'm about to set the kitchen on fire trying to make dinner.
thank you for everything you ever did as a Phantom or a jet (Westside Story is awsome).
Bye
Elizabeth

Mr. Crawford,

Although I can't be sure you even read these messages, it still gives me a sense of fulfillment to imagine that you may read this. I admit I've only been a die hard fan for about seven months, but I did grow up to the sound of your voice.
My mother used to play her Phantom of the Opera CD for us when I was younger, and I recall Music of the Night as my favorite song of the time. I suppose one could consider me as merely a silly fangirl (or Phangirl, if you will,) but I all but swoon when I hear your voice as you sing.
Happy belated birthday! My friend and I made a cake and held a little celebration in your honor. You remain for her as well as for me the favorite Phantom, even if you hadn't wanted the role at first. Best wishes in all that you do, and much (much) unrequited love,
-Mary

Hi
Michael....I just had to write something, just watched Barnum on DVD for the thousandth time...I will never tire of listening and watching you perform. I have been a fan for a long time. I have seen you perform 6 times in various locations throughout the UK. The best day was at the book signing in Windsor, when i asked you for a kiss, and you obliged. I never wanted to wash again. You had lovely soft lips. You need to come to Britain again soon. So i can get a new kiss. Thank you Michael for being such an inspiration in my life.
May God Bless you and keep you.

I loved you as Uncle Cornelius in Once Upon A Forest.
I love youre voice and keep up the good work!

Michael Crawford, what can I say.
I've read your book, watched your concerts. You are a very special, talented man and so unaffected.
My grandson is six and has started watching reruns of Some mothers do have them. I have never seen him laugh so much. Could you please advise when you are planning to come back to Australia? We would love to see you live in concert. It doesn't matter where you would be performimg. We would travel.
All the very best and thank you for being you.
Best Regards
Helen

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that I plan to play a song of yours at my wedding ceremony. Your music and voice have meant a lot to me over the years and it seemed right to have your voice be a part of my big day.

Very belated Happy Birthday (I'd say Happy new year but I hate New year!)

Hi Michael,

I would first like to wish you a happy new year mate. Just like to say that i have admired your work for a long time.I got brought up on some mothers do ave em as my mum & dad were such huge fans of yours & the show.I still watch the show now when it is televised & split my sides laughing at it.
I just wish i could have come & seen you in phantom but was only 11 years old when phantom first went to the stage but i know someone who did come to see you while you were performing in London & they said you were excellent as the phantom.
i have your autobiography which is a brill read, i thoroughly enjoyed it from front cover to back cover.I also have your in concert cd which i listen to a lot, your singing always brightens up my day. You have a fantastic voice Michael, you put so much feeling into your singing & i also feel the energy coming from you when you do sing.
You are an inspiration to me as i sing myself, i only sing in the pubs & local clubs & i always give 110% like yourself & enjoy every minute of it.
I would love to tread the boards to do some acting aswel as it is something i have always wanted to do from a young age but never done it. But since listening to your music & reading your book, it has made me determined to do a bit of dramatics & beings now that i am 32, i am not getting any younger, ha ha!
When are you coming back to England to do some concerts here? Everybody misses you here & would love to see you come back again to do some concert dates & i would love to come & see you in concert as have'nt seen you yet on stage & would really enjoy listening to your music.

May i just take this oppurtunity to say thank you for inspiring me in my music & finaly making the decision to tread the boards

thank you

Take care Michael & all the best for the future & i would just like to say congratulations on such a fantastic career.

Mark

Happy Belated Birthday Greetings, Michael! I have three requests that I would like you to consider: (1) please make another Christmas CD. I play yours sooooo much!; (2) record a CD of all Irish tunes; and (3) record a new CD of "Barnum" since I can't seem to get it anywhere....you should also include the music of your musicals "Barnum" and "Billy" in your concerts. Your true fans will recognize them! You're the BEST! Have a great 2007!

Happy birthday Michael Crawford!!!! I've only been a fan for a few years, but your my absolute favorite musical artist and actor! I hope that one day you have a concert on the lower east coast. I'm looking foward to the day that might finally happen!

Michael,

Wishing you a very happy birthday and remembering fondly the wonderful "Billy Days". Love to meet up again

Lots of Love

Karen

Dear Michael Crawford. I am a big big fan of the Phantom on the Opera. Please come back to Sydney because I want to see you in person. So please come back to Sydney, please! My name is Madi and I'm 7 and I love you a lot

Hi from a former MCIFA member (1994 I believe). Still a big fan of Michael (such that my friends tease me endlessly, and I proudly admit my fandom). I love his work from Some Mothers to now. I've been listening to Michael's voice for over 15 years and it never fails to make me smile. Thank you for giving the world the chance to hear your wonderful music and for sharing your talent with us all. And thank you for all you do make our world better. Keep on singing!

Dear Mr. Crawford,
All I can say about you is wow! You are abolutly beautiful, no one can sing like that and not be beautiful. Some one really smart told me that once when I was very young. I sing, some, and I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to sing and I thank you.

Was it LAST year tomorrow, when THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA became THE PHANTOM OF MANHATTAN?
Where HAS the time flown?
Anyway I'm listening to COMPLETE PHANTOM on SIRIUS BROADWAY BEST tonight.
What a way to celebrate THE 1ST -PAPER-ANNIVERSARY of the event.
I still remember MY PHANTOM Party that night.
AND ERIK/ALW STILL COMPOSES THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Michael Crawford i really liked when you played a white rabbit in alice's adventures in wonderland also in condorman and some mother's do ave em everytime i watch alice's adventures in wonderland i always singalong to the duet the last word is mine i wish i could meet you so you could hear my lovely voice lots of love Philippaxxx

This girl Sarah Afshar recently covered Think of Me and Music of the Night on the Phantom of the Opera and let's just say, her rendition was better than Sarah Brightman's but does not even compare to how Michael Crawford's rendition of Music of the Night is. There is no one on earth that can cover that song as good as he can. He was his own genius.

Hello Mr Crawford,

Happy birthday and happy new year! I trust you had a wonderful Christmas.

Just want to say - I wish there are more entertainers like you nowadays...

A new fan of your work

Just love your work, please come back to new zealand soon we are big fans over here and we cant get enough of you, Happy New Year

MCIFA, you are doing a nice job! All the best for 2007 for the members and Michael Crawford. Hope to see him in Belgium once. Kind regards and best wishes to everyone.

Hi Michael,
It feels wonderful to be contacting you after being a fan for so long. I hope you get to read some of the comments on this page and know how much you are loved and respected for your work. I have watched you in London in Billy, Flowers for Algernon, Phantom and Woman in White and think you are the world's best musical theatre artist. Billy is my all time favourite and I still sing some of the numbers to myself after all these years! I have to echo the previous comment though. We miss you here in the UK and I very much hope you will come back here to stay - in the meantime I hope we will see you here performing again very soon.
Warmest of wishes, Hilary x

G'd day to you,
I just wanted to say a quick hello to you Michael and to say a huge thank you for all what you do for the many charities you support; you are such a wonderful person.
It’s been a few years now since you took that well disserved sip from my wine glass at the stage door of the Victoria Palace after your brilliant performance in Barnum that night.
I didn’t even tell Geoff or Andy this... but I took the glass home with me, lol. It still sits very proudly on my shelf.
Have a wonderful Birthday.
Hope to catch you in concert again real soon……
Take care of yourself.
Warmest Regards,
Alison Hall

I would just like to wish you a very happy birthday on 19th Jan. a pensioner now!! I have loved your work for a very long time and have your signed picture by my bedside. Why oh why do you stay away from england so much, please please come here and perform for us all, we miss you so much and would love to see you back home again.There is no other person able to perform Phantom like you.You are the best.

Mr. Crawford,
As I sit in my room, not being able to sleep (as is obvious since it is 1:30 am) I am watching Hello Dolly, one of my favorite movies by the way. I can't help remembering when my mom first gave me the Ultimate Broadway cd set when I was about 9 or 10. Being so young, I only listened to the songs I knew, until I hit Music of the Night. As soon as I heard your wonderful voice, I ran to my parent's room, to find who it was, my mom said, "why Micheal Crawford of course" since then I have known I want to sing. I always liked to sing, but hearing that song, listening to it over and over again just lit something inside me. Ever since, when people ask me my "heros or idols", I say as a joke, Will Smith and the girl who delivers flowers to my house, and of course they say "no seriously" and my serious answer is, My parents first and fore most, and Micheal Crawford. Thank you so much for inspiring me, and many of my friends!

Noone on planet earth can sing the xmas carol Oh Holy Night like you Micheal god truly sent an angel from the heavens have never seen you perform live but it you come to Brisbane Down Under I'm There. Love Robyn Read Murwillumbah
