Sarah Brightman


 Happy Saint Patrick's  Day Everyone!!!


I don’t know if anyone is a fan of classical music but if you have a love for real music that’s made with actual instruments rather than music that’s made in a studio with auto tune, I HIGHLY suggest you listen to Sarah Brightman. She’s an amazing Italian/English singer. If anyone has ever seen the Broadway play or the movie Phantom of The Opera, Sarah Brightman is the ORIGINAL Christine Diae.

I first became a fan of Sarah Brightman when I was about 10years old, maybe younger when my dad had me listen to a very famous song of hers called Time to Say Goodbye which she sings with famous Italian singer Andrea Bocelli. My father still to this day tells me that he wants that song to be played at his funeral.  My father always influenced the types of music that I fell in love with over the years. My father is the reason I love all types of music from classical Italian/American, to Pat Benetar and Jethro Tull, to my personal favorite, country. Yes, I do listen to the popular music that’s always on the radio but when I’m alone and listening to my ipod or a CD in my car listening to a little Taylor Swift, Sara Evans or Sarah Brightman is usually the top songs in my playlist. 

A few years ago, my dad surprised with tickets to see Sarah Brightman at Madison Square Garden.  At the time I had only heard the Phantom of The Opera CD and the one song Time to Say Goodbye but I was so excited to see her live and hear her other music. The music was beyond anything I had ever heard before and the performance was breathtaking. Andrea Bocelli was also there to sing one of the most famous songs from Phantom of The Opera The Music of the Night and The Phantom of The Opera. Ever since that concert, I have not been able to stop listening to her Symphony Album which was the album of the songs that she performed from the concert. Everything about her and her music is just beyond amazing and I would definitely recommend listening to a few of her songs if you’re interested in a change from the everyday main stream music that’s always on repeat on the radio. 


Here are a few videos to listen to while you’re here and feel free to leave some feedback.

Her outfit changes were amazing but very interesting and differnt.

Every song had a different performance that were phenomenal.
