1. Holy shit, she is hot.

(Except for that last disco thing.)

I think I should quit my job and become a full-time stalker. Seriously, visual and auditory heroin for white guys.

[itsmesgd]

2. Hot, freaky, artsy...every messed up white guy's dream gal

[Redstone]

3. A girl with a voice that good shouldn't need gimmicks 'n' tits to be successful.

[Deep13]

14. She doesn't. On the other hand...

...there is no reason not to be revealing if she thinks its desireable to be expressive.

[Redstone]

22. Oh, I'm not complaining. A beautiful woman is, to me, as much a miracle of

God or Nature (whichever you prefer) as is a mountain range, or a waterfall, or the fall foliage in New England, so I'll indeed look and appreciate.

4. She has moments of genius, but her voice can be terribly thin and shrill.

:shrug:

[Deep13]

15. It's her 'pop' songs that are like that. nt

[philosophie_en_rose]

27. It's not just the "pop" songs.

Her version of Pie Jesu is particularly thin and brittle.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

28. I agree.

Out of tune on some notes, horrible vibrato on others. I haven't heard that much of her stuff, but I was not impressed.

[ThomCat]

5. I love individual songs that she sings

but somehow, and get's get through an entire CD without getting irritated and changing to something else.
:shrug:

6. Amazing...

I first heard her singing "Winter in July". I just love the words to that song. Went out immediately and bought the La Luna cd & wore it out playing it. She's a little freaky though.

7. She's pretty awesome

:D

[sundog]

8. terrifying

[SPKrazy]

9. I Don't Know, And I Don't Care- She's So Hot

I'm sweating looking at her!

her voice is a bit shrill, but it's very nice anyhow

[bridgit]

10. freaky musical genius...

Sarah Brightman - Time To Say Goodbye (Live - Eden tour)

[Deep13]

17. oops wrong place

[KG]

11. i'd hit it!

:hi:

[HuffleClaw]

12. voice by helium, body by rubbermaid

scary stuff all around.

[Deep13]

16. You're no fun.

I blow raspberries at you. :*

[HuffleClaw]

25. oh come on, the 'helium' bit was damn funny

she IS a fine singer. or at least WAS a fine singer.

[zanne]

13. It should be called "The Boob Song". nt

[Deep13]

18. She's in her 40s in a lot of those videos.

I saw her in Cleveland a couple years ago flying around on wires while singing. Got some photos around here somewhere.

[graywarrior]

19. She's been around since God was a pup.

[TheBaldyMan]

20. definately a freak, then she upped and married Andrew Lloyd-Webber

that was after her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk6Vbuh1-C4">Hot Gossip' days & pop career, I thought she couldn't get any freakier.

Definately living on a different planet.

[graywarrior]

21. But how can you argue with these two?

[TheBaldyMan]

23. because she can't sing ... honestly her husband got her gigs

she is a modern day Florence Foster Jenkins. The only difference is Flo Jenkins' gigs cost less cash to stage.

[graywarrior]

24. But she's on tv and performs at concerts! So she must be good.

You're just jealous.

:rofl:

[TheBaldyMan]

26. I don't think she'd get a standing ovation at La Scala - and Milanese know their opera

[Hell Hath No Fury]

29. I really hate, hatre, hate...

big eyed woman who do the whole "doe caught in the headlights" thing -- like Brightman & Kate Bush. It's this weird, faux innocent thing that makes them look like those 70's big eyes kids paintings -- it really makes my skin crawl.

Brightman is a pretty mediocre singer, really more of a performance artist than serious singer. If it wasn't for her ex, I don't think she would have ever even been on the musical map.
