The original female singer for this song was Sarah Brightman.If I remember correctly,the opera (the phantom of the opera,adapted from the novel by Gaston Leroux)was written for her by her then husband,Andrew Llyoyd Webber.So I guess in a way she can be the only suitable singer for the songs in the opera.But nightwish still did a good adaptation of it into the metal genre.
And,no,the movie was a horrible adaptation,especially for the phantom's character.the character was supposed to make you be sympathetic for him but instead the movie made him sounds creepy and nothing else.Very shallow in my opinion.
