    She does have a beautiful voice; I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I have a couple of her CD's that get some play time.

    I have one of her CD's, fantastic voice.

    I was luckly enough to see her in The Phantom of the Opera, playing Christine at the Ahmanson Theater here in LA. THAT was impressive.

    Her "Timeless" CD is the best CD I have ever heard on my system. Really makes the DefTechs shine.

    Nice to hear that we have quite a few Sarah Brightman fans here.

    I personally love her Timeless, Classics, The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection, Harem, La Luna, and A Question of Honour CDs.

    I also love watching her videos - Sarah Brightman in Concert, La Luna, Harem, Diva, Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Royal Albert Hall Celebration, are all great DVDs that I can watch over and over again.

    SB is amazing talent...I'm not a huge fan. She's done some amazing work on the Phantom of the Opera CD; and a nice duet with Andre Bocellli...That song is one of my personal favs from her.

    IMO, she's a little over the top...but certainly her talent cannot be ignored.

    Check out Charlotte Church...she's pretty good too.

    I wonder if she is going to go back into opera/theatre.

    Her more recent works were more pop/classical crossover than operatic. Not that I mind or anything, but I want to see more of her theatrical side.
