Does Sarah Brightman Terrify Anyone Else?
re: Does Sarah Brightman Terrify Anyone Else?#25
Posted: 10/17/08 at 1:14pmI don't think about her very often. I find her voice spectacular when I hear it but I do find that her appearance leaves me cold.

When she sings, she holds her arms out in front of her like the bride of Frankenstein.
But she doesn't scare me half as much as Sarah Palin does.
re: Does Sarah Brightman Terrify Anyone Else?#27
Posted: 10/17/08 at 2:49pmJust to clear things up, I think Sarah's absolutely gorgeous, and I think she's a talented singer-- there's just something about her facial expressions and her style of performance that I always find rather creepy. I'm not sure what it is. At least she's not as scary as she was when she was younger, though-- I've been pleasantly surprised by some of her more recent stuff.

Posted: 10/17/08 at 2:54pmI think she has the worst diction of any singer, outside of Charlotte Church, who seems to emulate her.

Posted: 10/17/08 at 3:05pmSo we won't get to see her as Sally Durant Plummer in Follies then?

repo clip

Posted: 10/26/08 at 4:46pmShe scares me a lot in this one, but it's a really old clip, so it's not really fair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUkvcWuFESQ

Posted: 10/26/08 at 4:47pmSchmerggy I think she's gorgeous. Acting- not the best skill she has. But I love her voice....

Posted: 10/26/08 at 5:03pmKathy-- I think she's beautiful and talented, but she just scares me. Like, Terrence Mann, he's my favourite performer tied with Michael Ball, but I just think there's something really creepy about him. I wouldn't want to run into Sarah Brightman in a dark alleyway, though I have had nightmares about that.

Posted: 10/26/08 at 6:00pmBut that doesn't make sense!
re: Does Sarah Brightman Terrify Anyone Else?#36
Posted: 10/26/08 at 9:04pmMy sympathies--I hate when seemingly harmless youtube videos turn out to be "shockers" or whatever you call them. I used to get these things regularly in my office email, and they were just one more thing to delete.

"But she doesn't scare me half as much as Sarah Palin does."
Or even worse---Sarah Palin singing!

Posted: 10/31/08 at 2:00pmI never had nightmares about her before, but certainly will now.

Posted: 10/31/08 at 2:05pmMaybe it's her Halloween costume.

I didn't care for her during Phantom cimply because I wasn't fond of her voice at the time. But I learned to appreciate her later when she released Dive and Fly, still my two favorite Brightman albums.
And for those interested, her Christmas CD "A Winter Symphony" releases next week.
re: Does Sarah Brightman Terrify Anyone Else?#42
Posted: 11/1/08 at 2:41amI am super excited about seeing her Symphony concert in Orlando on November 14th, having seen both La Luna and Harem, I know what to look forward to. So to answer the topic question, no, she does not "terrify" me in the slightest.

well, I learned a secret tactic when I ride a really crowded 1 to Columbia... start blasting her tunes of out my iPod and people seriously move away from me!!
I don't know if it changes my aura or something but I remember on a really crowded ride, this obnoxious woman would not take ONE step forward to let me in more so I was smashed up against her and the door (and folks, I'm big tall and beautiful!). So I started playing Fleur-de-Mal or Eden or something and she moved away!
This also happened on several different circumstances after that and keep it in mind!
But I like her singing but yeah, once she divorced Lord Andy, she did turn more Enyaish and freakish. But regardless, if I was going to be in town for her concert at Madison Square Garden, Id definitely be there! Love her New age tunes

I'm a huge fan of hers, got tickets for her concert in Boston, have about a dozen of her albums, and personally find her gorgeous, but yeah, I can see why people would find her creepy.
On a side note, I really wish I had the stomach to see Repo. It looks fantastic, but slasher movies are just so not my thing...

I just watched some of the repo scenes and I really do believe her eyes can do that in real life (not cgi!)
BTW, Schmerg, I need your help in adding another comparison to my sig for Sarah's singing!
EDIT: On a side note, I'm planning on going down and watching this film on Friday!
re: Does Sarah Brightman Terrify Anyone Else?#46
Posted: 11/2/08 at 5:03pmShe sounds like she's singing through a ninety-foot crazy straw.

Maybe they should cast her in American Buffalo!
