Michael - I am so looking forward to seeing you this Saturday night here in Arizona, I'll be cheering you on from the third row, can't wait! It's been way to long. Lil

Michael,
Thank you so much for coming to perform at CNU last night. You were absolutely amazing. I sat, glued to my seat, enthralled and entranced by your magical voice. You are the "Angel of Music."
God Bless you!

Hope to see you some day soon in Canada...

Hi Michael, I'm hoping and praying that you will someday do a concert in London, Ontario...

Michael, I'm sorry to burst in like this, I don't know why I did it but for the last time I just wanted to say this. All the best of luck for your concerts. You really do have a lovely voice.

I have grown up listening to the amazing voice of Michael Crawford. No matter where I go I make sure to have at least one of his CD's close at hand. When I went on an 8 month deployment 2 years ago with the US Navy his songs helped me get through some of the toughest times. Thank you Michael so much for doing what you do. Your talent has helped me through some of the worst times in my life and been mine friend during the best. Your version of "Baby Mine" was my twin sister's father daughter dance at her wedding. I can't imagine a better song for that occasion. Again thank you. I hope one day to acctualy get to see you in concert as my parents have so many times.

Dear Michael:

With the greatest pleasure I have found out about your new US concerts. Hope it means that you get well completely.
I desire with all my heart to be there at your long-awaited concerts and to hear your wonderful voice again, feeling myself simply on a Heaven. But it's impossible for me this time because of my recent surgical operation. However mentally I will be there with you. Here in Moscow I'm praying for success of your upcoming concerts. I know You'll be fantastic as always. GOD BLESS YOU!

With love

Hiya Michael! I'm normally into '80s rock and stuff. I'm 15. My girlfriend got me into your music, first starting me out with "The Music Of The Night" and I have gotta tell you, your voice is magnificant. You really have a great voice. Your other songs, like Phantom Of The Opera are very good :D You've inspiried me. I sung The Music Of The Night to my mom the other day, that was the first song I sung to her and she loved it :) But even I cannot do my voice as you, you have a gift there, bud :D Well, God bless. Thanks for giving me such an inspiriation and the words from your songs of how I feel about Leona :) [I love you forever, Leona ^^] Your songs have just yanked the words right out of my mouth of what I have to say about her, especially The Music Of The Night and Unexpected Song. Take care of yourself.

Just saw the DVD movie of 'Phantom' but felt it was lacking without you in it. Can't understand why Joel Schumacher didn't want to cast Sarah Brightman and you, YOU are the only Phantom. Think you're marvelous. Would have loved to see you and Sarah immortalised (or at least your voice-overs)in that film though...

No-one compares in the role of Phantom.

Hello again Michael. I can't really think of a lot to say except this. Good luck for your concerts in the autumn and best wishes.

Dear Michael Crawford,

I think your voice is wonderful. I have never seen your starring role The Phantom Of The oprea , but my parents saw if when it first came out. They told you were great. Then when I was eleven years old I when to go see the Phantom Of The Oprea and you werent playing the role, but I still loved the play. After that , my dad got me the soundtrack and I loved it. I'm hoping to send you a letter , telling u how much i enjoy your singing. I REALLY REALLY REALLY you could come on broadway again . So, maybe I can take my kids . I know I am going to tell my kids about you and I'm sure they were tell their kids that , but then again I'm only eleven years old. But I just wanted you to know if you are reading this that I think your voice is really the ' Angel Of Music ' !!!! Good luck with everything you do! I'm just one of the few that you touched so keep touching other people!!!!!

with love ,

Dear Michael,
I have checked your venues up to the last concert to be posted. You are not hitting our area anytime soon. Too bad, I mean I am crushed.
I was lucky to get the IN CONCERT DVD though and I thought, well, if I can't go at least I'll have it on DVD of this beautiful man and his beautiful voice. So, I watched it and it was better than listening to the CDs (Magical) and it was like having my own private concert in my living room. I am telling this is so hard to describe that I get chills up my spine. I wish with all my heart to be at your concert and to hear your voice and to get that experience at least one time in my life and I'll be happy. Oh yeah did you figure out about the JETS tshirt.. and I saw it under the gifts in NOTES #57.I was happy you got it anyway. I expect a full report on it.. (Just teasing) A pix would be cool of you in that tshirt. Happy wearing! AND good luck on Concert Tour 2005!

I'm the one in regards to that JETS tshirt.. hope you figured it out by now.. happy wearing and GOOD LUCK on the concerts for 2005!

Dear Michael,
I remember with much fondness receiving your letter and signed photo when I was a child. Your letter was really sweet and no the photo did not end up on the dartboard as you suggested. I now have children of my own and my daughter is just as enamoured with Hello Dolly as I was. We even named our cat Cornelius!
Would love to see 'Some mothers' return with Frank as a grandfather. Glad you have become so successful and wish you all the love luck and happiness in the world. Thankyou for making me smile

Hi Michael! I just wanted to let you know that I think you are a fabulous performer! I have seen "Phantom of the Opera" 3 times(unfortunately you weren't in the show at the time:( However, I did get to see you in "Dance of the Vampire" and thought you were fabulous! You have such a great singing voice. I hope you are feeling well...I heard a while back that you were ill. Also, this is a stupid quesion, but are you left-handed? In the picture at the top of the website you have a pen in your left-hand? I am left-handed so I am always curious when I see other lefties! Take care and God Bless, Berna

My son just entered his first year at Christopher Newport University as a vocal music major. At the age of five, I would get him up for school by telling him that if he would hurry and get dressed, I would put the "Phamptom" on for him to listen to. Within five minutes he would be dressed, sitting on the couch, eating a dry bowl of ceral and listening to the music with his eyes closed. Now at the age of 18, while dropping him off at college for the first time, I was so excited to be able to purchase a ticket for him to enjoy your concert in September at CNU. It made it much easier for a mother to leave her first child at a university where there will be so many opportunities to be exposed to excellence in music. I so wish that I could be there too on September 12th. But more than that, I hope that some way you will have time to stop by the music department and spend some time with these students...to inspire them with the determination to live their dreams. I have told my son that his voice is a gift from God, it his own choice what he does with it. I'll pray for saftey in your travels and wish you continued success in your career. Sincerely, Elizabeth

Michael,
I have loved you for years...your voice that transcends all others, your charming personality and wonderful sense of humor! Although I was never able to see you perform in Phantom of the Opera, I am so thrilled to have tickets to see you at the Ferguson Center in Newport News, Virginia. For me it is a dream of a lifetime!! I'll be the "woman in red" -- a red dress that is.
I listen to your CD's all the time when I do housework. I'll bet you have never been told before that you are the inspiration for having a clean house! Thanks for all the great music, your work for children around the world, and for being you. May God bless you and keep you well.

Dear Michael,

I am so happy you are coming to the States - MY state in particular - to give a performance. I'm not a very astute cyber space player and have NEVER even considered joining a fan club but, here I am. You probably have no idea how influencial you and this association can be! I had already ordered tickets for the Mesa, AZ concert but after going on line and finding this site, besides joining, I have ordered CD's, made donations to your charities, and was even able to locate your autobiography which has only served to make me not only love your voice, but the personality behind it all. Bravo and sincere, warm wishes to you during this USA tour. The audiences will love you and I hope you'll enjoy performing here, as much as we will enjoy this wonderful opportunity. If there's any way I can throw a purple flower to you - all the way from the balcony- I'll do it!!!

Hello, all!

I just wanna say how happy I am to be part of the MCIFA and learning so much more about Michael and his life and work. Thanks for making this site and to Michael: Many more years!

Michael, you have been my inspiration for years and the reason that I started taking voice lessons and went into musical theatre. I met you a few times when you were in Chicago and was so flattered that you had recognized me from a pic I sent you in a unique Phantom shirt. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with the world.

Dear Michael
I have loved your enchanting music sense I was 8 years old. I am 12 now and my best friend Carlos and I might be doing "the point of no return" for our school talent show! Please write me!

I have just seen the DVD of "Phantom" with Gerard Butler. Tho I was impressed,his voice is nowhere compar-able to Mr.Crawfords. However I am finding it almost impossible to find the lyrics printed as Mr.Crawford sang them. Can someone direct me to the same version as recorded by him?
To Mr.Crawford;
my daughter and I are now ardent fans of yours. My Mama used to say that Elvis had a voice that was "pure music".
I only wish she had lived long enough to hear you. I know she would have loved you. We do.

Sincerely,
two new and devoted fans

HI Just wanted to say that I have just finished your Biography . and I am blaming you for the headacks I am having. I dont think I have laughed so much on reading a book, It was borrowed But I have now ordered a copy , so when I need a laugh I can just pick it up. Please keep on singing, and pay another visit to N,Z.SOON A HUGE FAN

Michael Crawford, the one and only Phantom. Your voice and the music of Phantom of the Opera take me to a complete, out of this world, state of mind. I can't put into words your voice, and just how great it is. I have baught, and re-baught the original London cast, simply for your version of the Phantom. My hats off, and my mask to.....

Dear Mr. Crawford,
Hello, it's me, the visually impaired girl from California who wrote you by "snail mail" (you probably haven't received the letter yet). Anyway, I just wanted to say that I read your autobiography (it took me only five days) and now that I know where you've come from, you're more of an inspiration to me than you already were.
Your Loyal Fan,
Alicia N.

Dear Mr. Crawford,
I believe that you were blessed with teh voice of an angel. I enjoy listening to the CD's I have of you, but would enjoy watching you play the Phantom even more. Unfortunately, I was born a bit too late (1985)for that. However, I will most certainly attempt to make the concert in Virginia you are planning. I have a question, and I hope you can answer it. What year did you stop playing the Phantom? Everyone I work with wants to know as many of them have seen the performance. Thank you VERY much for your time.
Sincerely,
Sandy

I'm 14, and i belive you are the number one singer with a truely amazing voice. Most 15 year olds would be inspired by the likes of Greenday, Linkin Park, Maroon 5. But, no. I am inspired by you, Michael Crawford. I've seen the NYC Phantom (with Hugh Panaro). As soon as i got back i bought the CD and listened to your soothing, angelic voice. You voice makes me feel relaxed, and i feel that nothing in the world matters when i am listening to you. I love the EFX music and also the 'Only You' video. I've noticed you are doing concerts in the US, why not here in Britain? You have fans here!! Good luck to you, Mr. Crawford.

Dear Mr.Crawford,
I find it sad you didnt play the Phantom in the movie,or even voice over for it. Mr Webber made a serious BOO BOO making that movie the way he did. You Are the Phantom, Nobody can even come close.I am not a weak person yet i cant listen to The Phantom without feeling emotional and coincidentaly i have a dear friend named Christine who is over in Iraq at the moment and every time i hear the Phantom sing Christine I Loo..ve you. i just Ball like a little child. You Touched my Soul with the Phantom like nothing i have ever heard before and im glad you did.The Phantom is the greatest role ever made, i have a simple request if you dont mind me saying but would it be possible to get a couple Autographed Photo's of you,it would mean the world to me.My family and i saw you in Atlantic City and it was the greatest show,we hope to see you in Las Vegas for the opening of the Phantom Show this coming March. Stay Healthy,

Mr crawford im a 19 year old lad whos waiting to go to drama school in london you are what inspired me to become an actor when i watched you with my parents as a young boy. I have also seen you in the women in white at the palace and thought you was ace as the count and as of phantom well it speaks for itsself and thats my number 1 role i wish to play someday i think your a brilliant bloke with great morals like your charity work and would love to get some advice on my career from you (even though it would be hard work meeting you!!) thanx for ur time an admirable big big fan Richard.

Hello Michael, I first took notice of you in one of the "Some Mothers do ave em" episodes and that way back in the late 1980's when i was very young. I've been a fan of yours ever since and i've got 12 episodes of Some Mothers which i still enjoy to watch to this day and you were simply brillant as Frank Spencer. I would like to wish you all the best for the future.

Hi Mr.Crawford it's me again. I just found found out about the musical "Dance Of The Vampires" I love the play!I really enjoy singing "Come With Me".I still love Phantom.I saw the movie but,I saw the new 2004 movie version and was a little dissapointed with the way they arranged the lyrics of the song like "All I Ask Of You(Reprise)",The Phantom Of The Opera","Primma Donna",And how they changed the part of "The Music Of The Night" when you sing "close your eyes and let music set you free".I say if your going to make a movie from a play, or a book, or a remake of a movie do it right and use the exact words but dont commit plagiarism.
Somethings have changed when ever i mention something about "phantom" like finding tickets to see the play production(I still haven't seenit)it's like my dad doesnt like the show anymore i mean it was him who introduced me to it.I'm afraid that the show will close and i would never be able to see it.I missed it up in Baltimore and that's just about 1 hour away from my house! I hope I'll be able to catch your show in newport news virginia.I am a really,really big fan Mr.Crawford.
your #1 fan,
Caleb Hamilton

Michael Crawford i have great news to tell you i went to New York City and i saw the phantom of the opera it was wordrfull. I wish you can come back on stage at NYC for the phantom of the opera. I went on a tour of the stage, it remind me about when you were on the stage. Michael crawford you are my favorite celbary. You have a great voice too. I wish i can mett you. thank you for your time.

Hey Michale,I'm one of your biggest fans and I cried when I saw you in Phantom!

Hello Mr. Crawford,

I just wanted to tell you that you are THE greatest singer of all time! Here's my list.
1. Michael Crawford (WOW!)
2. Ewan McGregor (Hottie!)
3. Taylor Petersen (Another hottie that hasn't made it to the big time yet!)

But anyways, you are great! Phantom is by far my favortie work of yours. But I also love your Christmas album and I saw you as Cornelius in Hello Dolly! Wow what a change. By the way that role was recently played by my #3 best male singer ever, mentioned above, which I thought was kind of ironic. But you are a wonderful singer, actor, and person (Even though I've never met you, although I would love to!) and I admire you very much!

From a fan,
Holly :)

P.S. I plan on reading your book as soon as I can get my hands on it!

I saw you in 1995 doing The Phanton of the Opera. I was 25 years old and love you since I saw you at Brodway !
Come to Brazil ans marry me !
LOVE

hey michael. I just wanted to tell you your a great singer and I admire you for that. You did great in the Phantom of the Opera too

Dear Michael,
It is my understanding that a shorter version of the Phantom of the Opera is in the planning stages for presentation in the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. The owner of the Venetian,Mr. Nathan Adelson, is one of the great Philanthropist here in Nevada and he has in my humble opinion the best hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. If you could come back here and reprise your role as the Phantom it would be extremely popular. In the meantime I wish you the best.

hey michael! I'm a big fan. I'm obsessed with the original london cast soundtrack of phantom of the opera. im listing to you and sara brightman in The Phantom of the Opera song. I love it!!! your a great singer. i never saw you in london but my parents went and what from what i've heard about you and listening to the soundtrack you are an AWESOME phantom!!!

Hi Micheal I saw you do a rendition of barbara streisands as if we never said goodbye in oz on the bert newton show, But have never been able to find a recording of it. maybe you can lead me in the right direction

Michael, I have a special dedication for you. Last night due to my sinus and allergies not doubt I did a Karoke in front of a lot of neighborhood people of "Music Of The Night" and I had wanted to do for months. And even if I was near gasping, I was like how does the man do this and give so much. It is like a lullaby and a love song. You feel that it has complete power over you.Yes, I am really a non professional karoake singer but then my achievement would be do this song as a duet with you if I'm lucky enough at your concert. I mean my payment would be just to do this with you for everyone your music has done for me. My husband only likes duets that he knows and I keep saying you wait and one time I'll do it with someone it will knock everyone's socks off. Your voice is soo soo gorgeous and so are you and you're really an angel of music. Whatever you do for us, keep doing it forever. I mean, you are so giving and so special and isn't to know you is to love you? Don't ever let go of it, no matter what, always know that you have a great gift.

hi, my name is miss jordan morris, and i am 12 years old. i love your voice, and you are without doubt my favorite singer.(along with sarah brightman) I used to be a singer, but i recently gave it up to full time study cryptozoology and the paranormal. but when i used to sing, i used to sing alot of your music, and i called you one of my inspirations. i was in the process of cutting a cd a few weeks back, and it had a few songs from phantom of the opera on it. my favorite song to sing is think of me.i have won three or four contests singing that. well, i just had to say i love your voice. and you were such an inspiration to me.
sincerly
miss jordan morris

Thanks God that let me know you.You are my favorite singer.
Can you beleave. I am only 15 years old.
But I never like any singer or actor in the same age as I.
I still like Michael Crowford.(Because you are the best of all. )

I am a musical fan.I like the phantom play with Michael Crawford.

Hi Michael,

If there were musical of the Lord of the Rings, I think you would be terrific as Gandolf the Great.

Good Luck in the Fall Concerts 2005.

Carol

Hey Michael,
You know I keep tabs on your venues. I am hoping that you head out my way so I can have the experience LIVE and IN CONCERT just to actually bethis close to seeing you and hearing your wonderful singing and your delightful stories. To me, you are the PHANTOM, although I never saw the play.. but I got the soundtrack and saw the movie.. even if Gerard Butler played him.. he had shoes to fill. NO ONE is the PHANTOM except for you. When I heard "Phantom of the Opera" and the words. "Sing to me!" I get chills up my neck and I am thinking, he's it.. he's the PHANTOM.. and I get tears and think.. Too bad. you can't sing to me. Instead of hearing it on the CD. You have touched me in ways I can't imagine and I finally took notice as of December and took steps to join the MCIFA officially a few months ago. I have two MCIFA bracelets which I carry one and realize it's true.. it is FREINDS.. or fans. and I've seen alot of PHantom sightings. In that time. Do keep us all posted on the rest of your planned concerts.. take care and feel better every day.
