I agree with you on POTO - was not impressed which was a shame because that is the first time you hear him in the movie. Really wish they would of spent more time on that because his weakness on that number can color what you hear for the rest of the film. MOTN was like that too. Okay, but not great. Kept thinking "Are you going to hit that note or not? Oh okay - ya did, but sorta shaky".

But then Christine falls for the pretty boy in the bad hair and Butler seemed to get better from there. Loved the jumping on the statue and his "You will curse the day you did not do ..." Loved the sneering "It's true her voice is ... good" and the "You belong to me" during "While so silent" and I thought his PONR and AIAOY was wonderful and sexy and sad. So .. yeah - vocal performance mixed, acting very good (even with a mask he's the only one of the three leads who managed more than one facial expression) and of course, he gets points for bringing the pretteh and the pants ....
