re: Webber Wants Sarah Brightman for Upcoming Phantom Follow-Up

Wow I love how angry people get in these posts...

I think ALW was smart to realize much of his original score for Aspects was too densely lush/romantic for that story and would work better for Phantom--and of course then he used much of Cricket for Aspects. I'm always sorta of two minds about him reusing themes--I think most of his scores have their own distinctive "sound" and work--and I particularly LOVE Aspects. That said I do kinda subscribe to the Sondheim theory that a song really should come out of a character and action specific to them (ALW says in the A&E documentary on youtube that Lyricists are less lucky than him cuz they can't reuse lyrics...)

That's why for me it's one thing to have it from a show he intends to have no afterlife (Cricket) or write it for one score and realize it doesn't suit that show (the Phantom/aspects thing) but another to have it produced for a swhow, even attempt to make it a hit single and then reuse it less than ten years later.

Where are you from Muh?

And why do feel like you can call someone ugly ? Also you don't post your own pix? That's seems coward-ish.

Regarding this whole "Brightman" situation, I shall quote myself from when the whole "Phantom 2" thing started:

"English is not my mother language, therefore YOU have no reason to be hostile. But now I feel that's my duty. You are just a little ugly teenager with zero talent who uses the internet to fool yourself that your opinion is worth of respect.

Correct my horrendous grammar now.

And don't expect a reply."


And your duty would be...?

Being a b*tch?

FORBIDDEN BROADWAY pretty much summed up my feelings for this idea when they did Sarah Brightman singing...


Time I said goodbye,
My welcome is wearing thin,
I best turn my union card in,
I'm in terrible pain from,
Keys too high...
