I just love Michael Crawford, I remember watching Hello Dolly when I was a kid and I fell in love with his voice. Then when I heard him sing for the Phantom of the Opera I just loved him even more. In my eyes he is the only Phantom. Everyone else is good but Michael is the only Phantom.

Hi Michael! I am such a dedicated fan of yours. I'm 14 years old and have grown up listening to Phantom and Hello Dolly! I am seriously in love with your voice. I listen to you singing Music of the Night on CD in the car every time I go home from school. Just watched Phantom 25 and my favorite part was when you came out at the end for the celebration, even though it was on DVD I started clapping with this grin on my face! It's sad many people my age don't have a lot of appreciation for real music. Best wishes from one of your biggest fans!
Love,
Elaine Cole
PS. You will always be my favorite actor and singer!

My Dear Michael

I can’t find the words to describe my feelings when I got the wonderful surprise from you Michael. It meant the world to me, your beautifully worded letter however, the last line a ‘dart board’ really, Michael no way never! ‘Always the comedian’ …xx

Your kindness will be rewarded, from me, your world fans, your charities and from everyone who loves you. You are in the hearts, minds and memories of the nation, who are so proud to call you 'our own', again thank you Michael, take care, I never will forget your kindness.

ps remember me

Lots of love

Hi Michael, have been a huge fan of yours since Some Mothers do Have them. Just love your SOH and your amazing singing voice. Have just purchase your double CD The Story of my Life all I can say is WOW!! Unfortunately haven't had to pleasure of seeing you in person performing on stage. If you ever come to Australia again come over to the West as I would love to meet you and show you around. Take care and glad you have recovered from you illness. Keep on singing can't get enough of it!!!

Hi Michael! Been a fan of yours since late 90s when I first got The Phantom on CD! When I first heard you sing Music Of The Night, I fell in love with your beautiful voice. You are truley an inspiration to me. Would love to meet you someday or at least see you in concert!
Keep up the great work!

Hi Michael! I thought you might like to know that the lyrics to 'Angel of Music' came true for me a couple of years ago. I had your picture that you sent me (thank you SO much, by the way)tucked into a corner of my mirror in my room. I was at my desk doing homework and happened to be listening to the OLC recording of Phantom. When it came to the line, "Look at your face in the mirror/I am there inside", I happened to look up and wouldn't you know, the Phantom really WAS staring back at me! I thought that was hilarious. Thank you again for sending the picture--it was very thoughtful of you. And--I absolutely loved the Royal Albert Hall performance of Phantom. I just got it on Blu-Ray and was so excited to see you there!

It is truly remarkable to have seen such a great talent on screen. A hero from my youth, since I saw the movie Condorman for the first time when I was six years old, now I am twenty-eight. One the greatest gifts I ever got for my birthday was the movie on DVD. Still the movie doesn't fade out of my memory. Even now, when I write this, I hear Mr. Spencer on the background in my mind. Also that show always brings a smile on my face, and keeps getting funnier ever time I watch it. So, Mr. Crawford when you read this, if you read this...just like Chaplin, you will never be forgotten. Thank you for laughs you brought me and keep on bringing me. I wish you good health and everything else you desire. From another one of your many fans, thank you for the joy and congratulations to your work.

Hope your doing great! Look us up next time your in Toronto. Would be great to see you again.

my fav is music of the night

Hello Michael,
I was enchanted by you in 2006 at the Hyatt Resort Coolum, Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
Your name has been coming to me almost daily for the past few months, so I thought I would make the link to say 'hello' and 'congratulations for your difficult life lived in such an extraordinary way'.
I know the difficulties of long term CFS especially ' at a certain age'. I'm free now also. It's a wonderful life we have rediscovered. Sue

HI MICHAEL I REALY LIKE TO HERE YOU SING
MICHAEL WILL YOU COME TO TOWNSVILLE PLEASE
ALSO MICHAEL CAN I PLEASE SING WITH YOU
AND HAVE A INTERVIEW AND PHOTO WITH YOU
THANKS
ANTHONY BARTRAM
YOU BIGGEST FAN

It is so nice to know that there is a real talent who is also a genuinely good, decent person. I wrote to Mr. Crawford way back in 1987 when I graduated from law school and he was kind enough to write me a note. I had learned how close he had been to his grandmother and I, too, had been raised by a grandmother and I had commented on that. From all I have ever been able to find out about him, he seems to be the genuine article --- good through and through. I hope he feels the pleasure of God upon him as he uses his talents.

Saw Michael in Phantom twice in LA, could hardly stand up for the ovation-- my knees were weak. Also have seen several concerts and think ALW made the mistake of his career with the movie. Also saw the Albert Hall presentation and was SO DISAPPOINTED that Michael did not sing even a few notes. Wow.

I was never fortunate enough to see Michael perform, but when I was very young, my parents told me that I would fall asleep listening to The Phantom of the Opera. I saw the production of "Phantom" in Las Vegas in November, 2011 for my 21st birthday. Best birthday present ever, but I wish I could have seen Michael perform. My grandfather and I would listen to different operas when I was younger, we played piano together and sang together all the time. He directed 3 choirs back in the day and, to me, was a musical genius. I started playing piano when I was 5 and I continue to play piano for him, since he has now passed away. I have started arranging my own music and play it in my church, dedicated to my grandfather. One day, my grandfather and I were listening to The Phantom of the Opera, and he told me Michael Crawford was one of his favorite voices, and ever since that day I have been a Michael Crawford fan. So thank you for being an inspiration in my life and for being an inspiration to my grandfather. Good luck with everything you do! Jacci

Hello Micheal
I do hope you get to read this. I missed you again, my intensions were to get down to London to see you in The Wizard of Oz, and yet again it was not meant to be, either University, photography obligations or health problems prevented the journey. This has been the case for nearly thirty years now; I never quite made it to see you perform at the least. My dream of meeting you unless you go on tour that involves the UK and Scotland are now all but dashed, but you never now.

I would just like to say although a fan, I appreciate and have loved you as an actor, comedian and singer and your lifetime commitment to us, has been and still is overwhelming and I thank you for this. I have heard on the grapevine talk of award and merit for exceptional achievement and service to entertainment, this you certainly deserve. Good luck and thank you for the all those memories and music. I will be asking you if you would be so kind enough to send a signed photograph. Next time you’re on Facebook check me out, all the very best

Kindest regards

Eunice Skinner

Hope you are doing well. Enjoying your albums right now.

the first time i heard Michael was on the Jerry Lewis Telethon.Hi singing the Music if the Night made e a fan forever. I just finnished watching the 25th anniversay performance from The Royal Ablert Hall. Not only did I enjoy the opera but the best part for me was when Michael took the stage,Although I have never had the oppurtunity to see it live It gave me chills to see him perform onstage via my local pbs station. thank you so much for introducing me to a world of muic and theater that I might have missed. God Bless You and your wonderful gift.

I had the honour of seeing Michael at the O'Keefe Centre in Toronto back in 1993. I had front row seats and was in heaven the whole time, watching and listening to him. I am still a huge fan. I didn't even want to see The Phantom here in Toronto because Michael wasn't in it! I did succumb and see it though of course!! I wish he would come back to Toronto!!!

Bonjour Billy! London 1975.

Hi Michael
I hope that you can read this, I had no choice on font size.
I am not a fan in the sense that I have no life outside you but I would take a bullet for you.
The reason is very simple. Some people make a better world and you do, others not so much.
Now I am not all that sure about myself in this regards so I take the safer option.
I had the opportunity to see you in Billy Liar, in London up with the Gods, sometime last century and ever since you make my day every time you are on TV.
Of course I would see you live if you were not so bloody expensive.
Ever thought about cloning yourself ?
Franco

Hi Michael,
Love all your work and have been an avid follower for many years. In the beginning I just couldn't believe Frank Spencer could re-incarnate himself into the Phantom! Unbelievable. I saw your show here in Brisbane and loved every second.Hope you had a great birthday and are now back to full health after resting in NZ.
All the very best,
Wendy

Thank you for all the many years of pleasure and fun,very sorry I haven't been able to see you in person,[ holed up here having fun too---] Just wondering, about your CFS,because I am fellow "sufferer," with many others, support group too "I'm Not Crazy just a little unwell" hope you have recovered. Ginnymac.

Hi Michael Crawford. This is Ernie Chrisman. I still listen to you sing the Phantom of the Opera. Thank you for meeting me in Seattle.

From Ernie's aunt: Ernie is a developmentally disabled adult who loves Michael Crawford. I brought him to your concert in Seattle in the early 1990s and you saw him backstage. He still remembers and still calls you a "generous man." Peggy Chrisman

FOR ALL AUSTRALIAN FANS - MICHAEL CRAWFORD IS ARRIVING IN AUSTRALIA THIS WEEKEND FOR HIS WEEK LONG PROMOTIONAL TOUR TO PROMOTE HIS ALBUM
THE STORY OF MY LIFE. MICHAEL WILL BE MAKING ONE IN STORE APPEARANCE THURSDAY MARCH 15 AT THE ABC STORE IN THE QVB BUILDING IN GEORGE STREET AT 12.30PM UNTIL 2PM SIGNING COPIES OF HIS NEW 2CD SET.

I absolutely adore Michael Crawford! I saw. "Phantom" back in 1995, and I was hooked! Crawford's voice was absolutely mesmerizing! I've seen countless interviews with on television, and he seems so warm and witty. I would love to see in concert again. Does he ever come back to the U.S.?

I had seen Mr. Crawford in previous years in Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Hello Dolly, but had not seen The Phantom of the Opera until I bought the 2 disk DVD of the 2004 Movie. When I played the special features disk, I was so taken by the bits and pieces that show Mr. Crawford singing I was stunned. My Manager at where I worked talked about seeing Phantom in London and also in New York. He would only see the production that starred Mr. Crawford. Now I see why. I wish him many more wonderful times.

Dear Michael, you are such an amazing inspiration to me. You've made me laugh with "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em," cried through (in a good way) "The Phantom of the Opera" OLC recording, and left me in awe with everything that you do. I'm currently awaiting your autobiography to come in the mail and I am beyond excited to read it. Have a great year and best wishes in everything you do!

Love, Ashley

I just wanted to say "Hi" to all the fans, especially those 3 of you i met on Feb 1st @ the London Palladium. I really enjoyed the show a lot. Michael Crawford is an amazing Wizard (tho i agree, the role isn't big enough ;)

Dear Michael
I hope your birthday was full of fun laughter and everything you wished for.
I hope someday to see you perform and hear your beautiful voice. I have just recently found P.O.T.O. and I'm so sad I missed you perform as the phantom.
Wishing you all the best from Scotland

Michael,
Hope to one day see you perform in my lifetime.
I bought one of your CD's a few years ago and have been quite hooked ever since. Your ability to feel what you sing is incredible. I will be attempting to play and sing one of your recordings, "She Used to Be Mine", at my niece's upcoming wedding reception. God blessed you with a sensitive heart and it is expressed through your music. Thanks for sharing it with all of us!!!

Happy 70th birthday Michael. I hope you had a wonderful day surrounded by friends and family.

Brought my family to Oz last Friday and you had patience and kind words for all of us pestering you for an autograph at the stage door. Just wanted to say thanks as you made a memorable night even more so for my wife and girls. They are putting on Oz in our home town this April and now have an amazing story to recount for their own programme.

Good luck with whatever you do after Oz - I'm sure it'll be a resounding success.

Hi Mr. Crawford. Keep up the good work with your music.

Dear Michael,
Happy 70th birthday to you! You look very amazing and are still going strong. I remember listening to you for the first time on CD (Phantom of the Opera) on my 12th birthday, and it was love at first listen. For years I have been a devoted fan, and got to see you perform twice a couple of years ago when you did your solo concerts. Those two nights I remember vividly; they were so magical. I wish I could see you perform "Wizard of Oz", but sadly I am stuck in California for now. However, I still keep up with all of your work and remain a die hard fan. You, sir, have the greatest voice I have ever heard. Thank you for being such a generous and kind man to your fans and many others. Happy Birthday and God bless!
Dana

Dear Mr. Crawford:
Happy Birthday! I can't believe how time flies! It's been almost twenty four years since I saw you in Phantom! It seems like only yesterday!
I wish the Wizard of Oz would come to Broadway so I could see you perform again! :) Have a great Birthday!

Elizabeth

Hi Michael, I would like to wish you a very Happy 70th Birthday. Take care, love from Irene. xx

Happy Birthday Michael! Have a lovely day, and I can't wait to see you again in WOZ in a couple of weeks time! Love and God Bless, Sue X

Greetings, Michael! Happy 70th birthday!
I remember my years in your fan club fondly. During that time, I even gave you a set of recordings Frank Sinatra(whom you had met a few years earlier) made on the day you were born.
I remember your kindness in having a toy sent to a hospital for exceptional children in my community when I wrote and asked your fan club to do so.
I send you all my best wishes, and I hope to keep doing great work on behalf of children, and entertaining the world for many years to come!God bless you!
