This is a nerdy idea I had that I thought fellow phans would appreciate. Everyone is asked what their favorite song is and why, but I thought I'd be more specific. And this could generate conversation.

1. Which song has the cleverest lyrics?

2. Which song is catchiest?

3. Which song is most integral to the story?

4. If a song could be sung by any other character, what would it be and who would sing it?

5. Which song is most fun?

For me, the answers are 1. Point of No Return/Prima Donna for different reasons. 2. MOTN 3. the title song
4. Think of Me could be a fun trio for our love triangle. 5. Masquerade because when sung fast, it's fun and when it's sung slowly it's incredibly poignant.

Wow! This is a cool idea! Well.. lets think
1. Down Once More. I think that has very clever lyrics. It's so heartwrenching, with the reprise of Masquerade and All I Ask of You, AND Music of the Night at the end. And the bit where all of them is singing is really well worked out.
2. The theme song. I can never stop humming/singing it! (well, that one more so than the other ones )
3. Hmmmm.... All I Ask of You, or the theme song. All I Ask of You because it shows the way Christine's/Raoul's relationship is, and it shows the way Erik longs to have his relationship with Christine... (does that make sense) But then, the them song too, because it contains the whole meaning of who Erik is etc...
4.Hmmm...hard one..... really hard one... Maybe if Raoul had a part in Point of No Return.. like, up from the audience box, as he watches, maybe it would be interesting for him to sing a bit there... (I dunno, just a crazy random idea)
5. Masquerade would be so fun to sing! it's just a fun song, that's what I have thought all along. Oh, and Notes!! That is FUN!! In fact, now I think of it, even more so than Masquerade. I love singing that one... ;D
