Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that I plan to play a song of yours at my wedding ceremony. Your music and voice have meant a lot to me over the years and it seemed right to have your voice be a part of my big day.

Very belated Happy Birthday (I'd say Happy new year but I hate New year!)

Hi Michael,

I would first like to wish you a happy new year mate. Just like to say that i have admired your work for a long time.I got brought up on some mothers do ave em as my mum & dad were such huge fans of yours & the show.I still watch the show now when it is televised & split my sides laughing at it.
I just wish i could have come & seen you in phantom but was only 11 years old when phantom first went to the stage but i know someone who did come to see you while you were performing in London & they said you were excellent as the phantom.
i have your autobiography which is a brill read, i thoroughly enjoyed it from front cover to back cover.I also have your in concert cd which i listen to a lot, your singing always brightens up my day. You have a fantastic voice Michael, you put so much feeling into your singing & i also feel the energy coming from you when you do sing.
You are an inspiration to me as i sing myself, i only sing in the pubs & local clubs & i always give 110% like yourself & enjoy every minute of it.
I would love to tread the boards to do some acting aswel as it is something i have always wanted to do from a young age but never done it. But since listening to your music & reading your book, it has made me determined to do a bit of dramatics & beings now that i am 32, i am not getting any younger, ha ha!
When are you coming back to England to do some concerts here? Everybody misses you here & would love to see you come back again to do some concert dates & i would love to come & see you in concert as have'nt seen you yet on stage & would really enjoy listening to your music.

May i just take this oppurtunity to say thank you for inspiring me in my music & finaly making the decision to tread the boards

thank you

Take care Michael & all the best for the future & i would just like to say congratulations on such a fantastic career.

Happy Belated Birthday Greetings, Michael! I have three requests that I would like you to consider: (1) please make another Christmas CD. I play yours sooooo much!; (2) record a CD of all Irish tunes; and (3) record a new CD of "Barnum" since I can't seem to get it anywhere....you should also include the music of your musicals "Barnum" and "Billy" in your concerts. Your true fans will recognize them! You're the BEST! Have a great 2007!

Happy birthday Michael Crawford!!!! I've only been a fan for a few years, but your my absolute favorite musical artist and actor! I hope that one day you have a concert on the lower east coast. I'm looking foward to the day that might finally happen!

Michael,

Wishing you a very happy birthday and remembering fondly the wonderful "Billy Days". Love to meet up again

Lots of Love

Dear Michael Crawford. I am a big big fan of the Phantom on the Opera. Please come back to Sydney because I want to see you in person. So please come back to Sydney, please! My name is Madi and I'm 7 and I love you a lot

Hi from a former MCIFA member (1994 I believe). Still a big fan of Michael (such that my friends tease me endlessly, and I proudly admit my fandom). I love his work from Some Mothers to now. I've been listening to Michael's voice for over 15 years and it never fails to make me smile. Thank you for giving the world the chance to hear your wonderful music and for sharing your talent with us all. And thank you for all you do make our world better. Keep on singing!

Dear Mr. Crawford,
All I can say about you is wow! You are abolutly beautiful, no one can sing like that and not be beautiful. Some one really smart told me that once when I was very young. I sing, some, and I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to sing and I thank you.

Was it LAST year tomorrow, when THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA became THE PHANTOM OF MANHATTAN?
Where HAS the time flown?
Anyway I'm listening to COMPLETE PHANTOM on SIRIUS BROADWAY BEST tonight.
What a way to celebrate THE 1ST -PAPER-ANNIVERSARY of the event.
I still remember MY PHANTOM Party that night.
AND ERIK/ALW STILL COMPOSES THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Michael Crawford i really liked when you played a white rabbit in alice's adventures in wonderland also in condorman and some mother's do ave em everytime i watch alice's adventures in wonderland i always singalong to the duet the last word is mine i wish i could meet you so you could hear my lovely voice lots of love Philippaxxx

This girl Sarah Afshar recently covered Think of Me and Music of the Night on the Phantom of the Opera and let's just say, her rendition was better than Sarah Brightman's but does not even compare to how Michael Crawford's rendition of Music of the Night is. There is no one on earth that can cover that song as good as he can. He was his own genius.

Hello Mr Crawford,

Happy birthday and happy new year! I trust you had a wonderful Christmas.

Just want to say - I wish there are more entertainers like you nowadays...

A new fan of your work

Just love your work, please come back to new zealand soon we are big fans over here and we cant get enough of you, Happy New Year

MCIFA, you are doing a nice job! All the best for 2007 for the members and Michael Crawford. Hope to see him in Belgium once. Kind regards and best wishes to everyone.

Hi Michael,
It feels wonderful to be contacting you after being a fan for so long. I hope you get to read some of the comments on this page and know how much you are loved and respected for your work. I have watched you in London in Billy, Flowers for Algernon, Phantom and Woman in White and think you are the world's best musical theatre artist. Billy is my all time favourite and I still sing some of the numbers to myself after all these years! I have to echo the previous comment though. We miss you here in the UK and I very much hope you will come back here to stay - in the meantime I hope we will see you here performing again very soon.
Warmest of wishes, Hilary x

G'd day to you,
I just wanted to say a quick hello to you Michael and to say a huge thank you for all what you do for the many charities you support; you are such a wonderful person.
It’s been a few years now since you took that well disserved sip from my wine glass at the stage door of the Victoria Palace after your brilliant performance in Barnum that night.
I didn’t even tell Geoff or Andy this... but I took the glass home with me, lol. It still sits very proudly on my shelf.
Have a wonderful Birthday.
Hope to catch you in concert again real soon……
Take care of yourself.
Warmest Regards,
Alison Hall

I would just like to wish you a very happy birthday on 19th Jan. a pensioner now!! I have loved your work for a very long time and have your signed picture by my bedside. Why oh why do you stay away from england so much, please please come here and perform for us all, we miss you so much and would love to see you back home again.There is no other person able to perform Phantom like you.You are the best.

Mr. Crawford,
As I sit in my room, not being able to sleep (as is obvious since it is 1:30 am) I am watching Hello Dolly, one of my favorite movies by the way. I can't help remembering when my mom first gave me the Ultimate Broadway cd set when I was about 9 or 10. Being so young, I only listened to the songs I knew, until I hit Music of the Night. As soon as I heard your wonderful voice, I ran to my parent's room, to find who it was, my mom said, "why Micheal Crawford of course" since then I have known I want to sing. I always liked to sing, but hearing that song, listening to it over and over again just lit something inside me. Ever since, when people ask me my "heros or idols", I say as a joke, Will Smith and the girl who delivers flowers to my house, and of course they say "no seriously" and my serious answer is, My parents first and fore most, and Micheal Crawford. Thank you so much for inspiring me, and many of my friends!

Hello Michael, I was extremely glad when I got to see you preform in Thousand Oaks. It changed my life. My heart was racing and I was completely shaking all over before you came on. When I saw you walk on stage I pretty much disolved. You have made an indescribable impact on my life. I love hearing you sing every night. For years I have been obsessing over you and every day I love you more. My dream came true and I say you live. My next dream is to meet you in person. I will be attending the concert in Long Beach, too. I'll also have Orchestra seating! I really hope I get to meet you. Your beautiful voice has moved me to tears. I'm ready to follow you around the world getting to as much of your concerts as possible. You make the world so much of a better place. Thank you for making my young life magical, joyful, and worth wild. See you in Long Beach.

A message to Mr Adrian O'Connor. I'm sorry but as far as I'm concerned, there isn't an available copy of that film for sale anywhere. However, I think the best way to find out if there is one is to click on the 'Contact the MCIFA' link so you can ask the people in charge of the website if they have any knowledge on the subject at all.

Hi Michael. Um I'm 14 and just wanted to tell you I LOVE yourvoice. I have a good singing voice and I want to get into a singing academy when I'm ready. And I want to use "Think of me" for my title song. I love that song. And all my friends think its dumb I like Phantom and all that. But they just have bad taste. Well I'm saving my money for the show. I hope all is well for you!! Byeee

<333Big fan- Katie

hello can you please help me get a copy of your film HELLO GOODBYE i have being trying for over two years to get a copy of this film . i saw it when i was a young boy and loved it , i have tried everything to try and get a copy. if you could help me please i would be so grateful many thanks .many thanks mr Adrian Oconnor

Dear Michael Crawford
Just to wish you and your family a very happy Christmas and a marvelous new year. I have lovely memories of you as a child (I'm now 49). The BBC series 'Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em' left an indelible mark on me. As a matter of fact I have just recently bought DVDs for the complete series. Unfortunatly I was never been able to see you perform live. Living on an island has its draw backs.

I'll admit right away I'm not a fan, although I've heard of Mr. Crawford since the early 1980s when he starred in Phantom Of The Opera on Broadway. My first real exposure to his talent was on the 1991 DVD "Ghosts Of Christmas Eve" starring The Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Since then, his rendition of "O Holy Night" from that DVD has become one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs. A little research surprised me when I found out his career goes back to the late 50s.

Hi Michael

Just to wish you a very happy Chrsitmas and a great new year.
I hope you will have company and not be spending it alone as you did in your book parcel arrived tied with string. I am sure you can always drop in on friends in the fanclub.

Sadly I am working Chrsitmas Eve, Christmas day, and Boxing day as I work as a nurse on a ward the very acute mentally ill and Christmas always see's the ward busy with those who are depressed and attempt to commit suicide, as it is not always a happy time for some as there are many who do not feel loved or are very alone and feel it more at this time of year so we are always full at this time of year.

I shall raise a glass to wish you a happy Chrsitmas after shift on Christmas day. And I shall raise another glass to you again on New Years day for a great New year.

Hope the new year will be a good one for you and that 2007 may see more of you in the UK there may be fewer of us fans over here but we have lots of love.

Keep up the god work and please release another CD soon and a DVD of a few of your shows and concerts would be nice as we in the UK don't get to see or hear them.

Love Jackie.

hi michael!
you have no idea how much i love your phantom of the opera singing!i'm so happy that you do those things for so many charities.my brother has cancer, and we've learned that its great to give back.i wish that i had been alive when you were on broadway because it would have been so much better than just having to listen to you voice. i have a few questions for you: why are the words for music of the night on the tape different than the words on the cd? it just puzzles me because on the tape, your voice is much more flowing. is broad way fun? i really wish that someday i could be performing in a broadway musical professionally. it would be so cool! thanks for your time, and i hope you read this.

sincerely,
amanda h.

p.s. you are the only phantom that sings the part the way it should be.

Great site! I love all your work Michael, and thought that you were great in Phantom. Found a clip of it on Youtube the other day and have it in my favourites.

Loved you in Some Mothers do ave em as well, but have yet to hear you in any other musicals.

I just want to add to Jamie's post about the List, we do get some Gerard Butler fans causing trouble but we always put them straight by telling them no one can compare with Michael :)

Dear. Mr. Crawford, I am very happy to be a new member of your association. This is a wonderful association, and you do alot to help out children world wide. you are extremley kind. I have often wondered where you have been all these years. and how your career is going. I have been a fan and admirer for many years. and of course I knew you as thatlovable caracter Frank Spencer!! and also in"The Phantom Of The Opera" which I adore. I have loved your music from day one, you have a beautiful voice. It is very comforting, and also strong and powerful. I am a painter and it can get quite hard sometimes coping. so your music helps keep me going.Itruly believe that your voice is one of best in the music world today along with Sarah Brightman's. all the very best to you Micheal, and take care. Sincerely yours Laura-Lee.

Hmmm...I discovered Michael Crawford in the Poto ORC...And I fell in love with Michael ever since! I listen to him everyday. All my friends know who Michael is just by me talking about him constantly.My Tenor Saxophone's name is even Erik Michael Crawford! I'm saving up some money to get a MCIFA membership. My friend and I came up with a list of how Michael Crawford is better than Gerard Butler (MC won by a loooooooong shot!)

Michael Crawford is Simply amazing. I cant tell you how much he's brought me back to life. I was in the middle of a terrible Family incident. I became depressed for a while. But Michael's sweet, intoxicating voice gave me another reason to wake up in the morning and go to school...I just want to say Thank you for all you did and will do. You are one heck of a person.

Happy days!
-Jamie
