Whenever I'm listening to something good and I go to turn it up I go "Dolbies."

[Wolfgangus_Theophilus]

The factways Paul Williams is exclaiming "Perfect!" to the sound of his own voice he gives me years of life.

[johnjoseph]

I love this film. It’s a complete indictment of the entertainment industry and how the purity of creative expression is chewed up and spat out by the corporate machine

[geminiandromeda]

I love how even after every suffering Winslow has been put through before this, he still loses himself to playing his music

[josuenaimzaratecordero]

It's both amazing the subtlety and disheartening the reality of this scene. Swan modulates Winslow's voice to sound like his own, calling it perfect. The symbolism is self evident

[EVILMOLEMAN]

it is criminal that this is not on the soundtrack

[sidfiddler]

"Phoenix"! This film is the genuine interpretation of a cult classic.

[hildav]

there is a tremendous amount of pain in this performance. It moves me so deeply every time I listen to it

[daniellevergne_luciani]

The movie of my life. I Saw it more than 13 Times in a Paris cinema when i was a arts student,
in the 80n"s then on dvd

[lebongrospack]

This scene is strong ! It's the only good deed that Swan did and it's the most beautiful things ever : restored a singer voice, it's a kind of rebirth.

[EVILMOLEMAN]

the fact that this is paul williams singing and not bill finley absolutely crushes me every time i watch it

[prodigalson]

Fun Fact: The singing voice of The Phantom is actually Paul Williams, who is the guy adjusting the sound on this clip. He not only wrote the soundtrack for this movie but a number of hits, including "Rainbow Connection." Paul Williams is a legend too few people know about.

This is one of the coolest scenes I've ever seen in a movie

[chaunguyen]

I can't help but think of berserk when I see his mask/helmet

[jacklong]

Now that is the origin of Phantom Of The Paradise!

[mikemcgannvoiceover]

One Summer in the mid-90s this was on every day on Showtime. I haven't seen it since, but it all came back with this clip.

[NicolaScarfaldiCancello]

This scene is so estetically and poetically perfect.

[Oldbmwrrs]

Notice the jack is pulled as he sings "I swear I'd sell my soul" after Swan took his voice..

[BeeHatGuy]

Just saw it earlier. Absolutely love it

[stone]

I discovered this when I was looking at the Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and have seen people consider Winslow one of the Phantoms, and Ngl i dig it
