My art teacher is easily impressed.

According to her, Gerard Butler is great because he can "hold that note." I don't know for sure which note she was referring to (I assume it was the long one at the end of MotN), but good grief. Michael Crawford can hold that note. Every actor who has played the Phantom after him in the stage musical ever can hold that note. I can hold that note. Gerard Butler is not the only person who can hold a long note! And he doesn't even sing it on key!
She also implied that he was a better singer than Patrick Wilson. I pointed out that Patrick was more experienced, and she agreed, but still. *headdesk*
I like Gerard Butler, I really do, but he was painfully miscast in Phantom. I watched a couple movie clips on YouTube yesterday and was stunned by how out-of-place he seemed. I don't know if it was the costume department's fault or what, but Gerard as a whole looked sillier than Patrick's hair ever did.
