I still can't believe she lost America's Got Talent to that toothless hick.
Her vibrato always makes me think of beautiful nature...The Grand Canyon, to be specific.
I hate that arm thing she does. Always have
On pitch, but her voice is just annoying.
Oh, I'm so shocked and amazed that there's so much hate in this thread... NOT!
Y'all just can't respect the DIVA herself, I guess. She is divine and this was wonderful. Scaglione WISHES she had that tone and control!
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. LOVE it!
Thanks!

I don't disrespect her, she's very successful and that's good for her. I find her voice annoying. Obviously she's doing something right.
Not hating on HER, I just don't like that arm thing she does
DEAR LORD. The humanity.
"Hit song 'I Feel Pretty'"? I adore the song but who was it a hit for?
Lizzie- Shhh. We must keep up the imagery and sense of reality
Brightman is very entertaining, and I saw her at the Garden earlier this year and enjoyed her performance, which is high camp. But she looks so affected when singing that it becomes a distraction, especially, as others have mentioned, the arm flailing as well as the contortions of her mouth (but hey, to each their own when it comes to vocal technique: Kathleen Battle makes the weirdest shapes with her mouth but her sound is just pure beauty).
First off I ADORE La Brightman, but I HATED the entire period she wore that awful wig. It is hideous and unflattering. She also wore a lot of unflattering lace dresses then. I think she has better fashino sense now and looks 40x better. I think a stylist gave her a talking to.
I think she sounds great on the song, but I think "I Feel Pretty" is a song for an ingenue, not a diva. I think once a singer hits a certain age, she should phase that song out. It's a very youthful, optimistic number and doesn't fit well for a seasoned diva. Just my opinion.
However, Sarah is perfection and I love every minute of her campy, over the top, theatrical self.
Yeah, she's just a gem.

That's sarcasm, by the way
Oh God.
I have never understood her appeal.
I'm glad I'm not alone.
Actually I think her vocals are flawless in that version of Summertime. What is there not to love?
She hits the notes in "Summertime" but she did that damn arm thing again and she needs to work on her pronunciation. "Sooooomer Toooome and the loooooving is easy. Fooosh are jumpin' and the cooooton is high."
Unless it can top this...

it's gonna get criticized on this board. And really, NOTHING will ever top the insanity that is this video.
(yes, I know it's been on the board before. just can't get enough)

Why does it sound to me that she sings with marbles in her mouth? I agree that the pitch is fine---but there's a tone problem (IMO). I can't really explain what I hear---maybe it's just me??? (I first noticed it on the original Phantom recording)
I am a shameless fan. Is she campy and strange? Hell yes and I love it.
Sarah Brightman & Hot Gossip - Starship Trooper
I love Starship Trooper!!!!! It was a foreshadowing of the camp to come-only more elaborate and expensive camp!! I LOVE SARAH!!!!!
Bettyboy, muscle and I need to start the official Sarah Brightman Is A Fabulous Diva And We Love Her No Matter What Love Thread.
P
Amen to that P!!!! Sarah is a true diva-she brings it all-the voice, the eccentricities, the full-blown theatrics, some camp, and a lot of glamour. She's not for everyone, but she is divine to me. I'll kiss her gorgeous, glammed out, spray tanned a@# anytime.
But we can't forget the ultimate "WTF, Sarah... WTF??" video: "How Can Heaven Love Me."

Leather, bondage, propaganda footage, random dogs, mine shafts and the infamous boobie t-shirt. Doesn't get any crazier than that!
That video is whack, but I love it. Only SB could pull off a rubber catsuit, a hideous wig and a t-shirt with breasts on it. One of my fave SB songs. Oh Sarah and those experimental artists she pals around with.
