Sarah Brightman got a lot of criticism in her early career when she was cast in Phantom of the Opera a lot of people said she only got the part because she was married to Andrew Lloyd Webber but let's face it she's a hell of a singer (as proven here)
Just to throw this into the mix, when she played Christina, in 1987, I believe, I saw her in PHANTOM and she did not sing like this...her soprano was thin and she had to push through it. If you watch this whole concert, her ex husband, Lloyd Webber was a guest and he played for her but before so mentioned how her voice had changed over the years and indeed, she had been studying to sing like she did here. I know when I saw the concert above I was blown away by her and by the change in her voice. Now, she is, I don't know...but I saw her give an award and she has done a "Donatella" to her face....which saddened me.
@@happyexpat3744 She just looks fine, she has done some botox everyone does, but she also gained weight, She is still beautiful nothing is changed just she has some more weights those last 10 years.
@@Hecate33 Saw her last Christmas in a relatively small venue and Sarah overpowered the sound system a couple times. You could tell the sound people were turning down her mike to keep it from over modulating and she could be clearly heard from the stage not from the speakers. She hasn't lost a trick! A power soprano that can be lovely, light and sweet when appropriate. And not bad looking for 62 years old.
someone once said - if God has a voice, it would be Andrea Boccelli's and Sarah Brightman is the Angel of Music. They both made musical magic together with this duet. You should check out Andrea's Sogno and Canto Della Terra... as well as Sarah Brightman's Who Wants To Live Forever (Queen cover) and Harem.
Her touching him is to ground him due too his blindness ... she was actually a dancer then it was discovered she could sing by none other than Andrew LLoyd Webber. His mother got very ill when she was pregnant with him, they told her to abort and she refused. Thankfully.
From a young age Bocelli was afflicted with congenital glaucoma. At age 12 he became totally blind after suffering a brain hemorrhage as the result of a soccer accident.
I met her at a hotel I managed and she was so soft spoken shorter thank expected and so nice. She was having a concert and left me 3 tickets to take myself and my parents...awesome concert
Sarah's caressing was part show but also she was discreetly keeping him in front of the microphone because he was born completely blind....they are both fabulous singers
Sarah Brightman is on of my favorite singers. Bocelli is angelic. They are heaven together in this song. Thanks for doing that one of my favorite songs.
This performance is just incredible .... Sarah Brightman is a real star - she became known originally for "I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper" with Hot Gossip .... and is very underrated.
Thanks Dereck for reacting to Sarah and Andrea! Brings so many memories back.. They did another duet several years later: "Canto della terra" ; a live version is always the best to check: ruclips.net/video/4KGmLLsdWCM/видео.html
The best thing about reactions to this, is that nobody can talk. its just the literal meaning of the word awesome. Its beauty. Words limit us, they are an attempt to describe things we feel or think, but words can't do some things justice.
Oh, God. Now THIS brings back memories. I used to be mildly (okay, very) obsessed with Sarah Brightman during late high school/early college. Her first solo albums were SO good, in my opinion. Their arrangement was around broad themes. "Eden" was very seductive, passionate, and all RED. Then "La Luna" came and was ethereal, angelic, silvery, moon-like, blue. She's tried to continue the themed projects a bit with the subsequent "Harem" but all too often releases these compilation albums that are really just repackaged tracks. I always wondered how Bocelli felt about Brightman somewhat moving his song, which was originally fully in Italian and known as ("Con te partiro" (I will go with you)) into the English "Time to Say Goodbye." Probably not too bad at all since she invited him onto the duet! Funnily enough, I was at a live concert of hers on the "La Luna" tour living my best poperatic life when all of a sudden she announced a "new" and "rising" star would be joining her for a duet. She then proceeded to share a duet of "There for Me" with none other than a VERY young and VERY new Josh Groban. This was about 2-3 years before his big break into the popera scene with "You Raise Me Up," etc. But the best part of the La Luna tour was she re-produced a track from her first album "Time to Say Goodbye," (where this particular track comes from, which, by the way, remains the highest selling single EVER in Germany), from the opera "La Wally" into the beat-driven single "Question of Honor." An entire mini-album of remixes was released just of "Question of Honor." I think that's where Sarah has her strongest appeal, in this blend of opera (which her voice is definitely suited for among the lighter soprano roles) and wider pop appeal. She truly is one of, if not THE, first crossover from an operatic voice into pop music. On the "Time to Say Goodbye" album, the track is listed literally as "La Wally," haha, which is the title of the entire opera, not the aria she blends in (which is the very well known "Ebben, ne'andro lontana). I think she (very wisely) calculated that broader audiences were much more likely to investigate a briefly titled track called "La Wally" than an entire aria's title. Long reply here, sorry, haha, but if you haven't, definitely check out the "Question of Honor" live performance from her "La Luna" tour. From what I can tell, she includes this in every one of her live tours, and you will definitely see why. I enjoy the La Luna era one the best because it was the first time I'd ever seen it. Let me just say .... SHE FLIES.
no the the song was the winner of San remo festival in Italy the first time and heard time for the first time in Italy was absolutely the start of Andrea Bocelli and it was his start of a beautiful career .FOr a totally blind singer with that voice he can play all instruments ,even if I am a fanatic madonna fan when you hear those things if you love music you can't be emotional.thank you for your choice .I love you Dereck from Italy you're a the number one
This is the song that introduced the world to Andrea Boccelli. We knew who Sarah Brightman was, due to Phantom of the Opera, but we'd never heard of Andrea till then. This song was a number one hit in 1997 and Boccelli has been an international pop-opera star ever since. He's touring this year, coming to Cleveland OH this November. I will be there!!!
Amigo estamos iguales para mi tambien son mis dos cantantes favoritas solo que yo pongo en primer lugar a Sarah Brightman pero las 2 son muy buenas en su género y estoy completamente de acuerdo con lo que dijo de Sarah saludos
Dereck, Sara has a solo album called Dive that is non opera and her voice is so crystal clear. Please check it out. Lots of amazing songs. She does a beautiful Are you going to Scarborough fair. Also, Dust in the wind. Stunning. Xx
ｙｅｓ．it is her pop song album produced by the one of the producers of ENEGMA．one of the best tune from the album is Johnny wanna live which is a cover song of Sandra，the German singer and the ex－ｗｉｆｅ of Michael Cretau，the chief producer of ENEGMA．
You blow it when you interrupt this song that everytime I hear it… it brings tears . But you blew it when you stop the mood…. Watch other reactions that allow it to go all the way before the reactions… just a thought 🦋🧚🏽♂️✨💫💫💫, my neighbor played it over and over back when it came out. Loved it and all other videos of this song by them👍❤
Transported is the correct description! Their voices ARE the instruments!We can only imagine this is the closest thing to what Angel's will sound like in heaven!
Excellent reaction to one of the most beautiful video's of all time. You mentioned Sarah's vibrato. I would love to see your reaction to Judy Garland's vibrator in "OLD MAN RIVER" . The one in color. Her vibrator has been discussed since she first sang " OVER THE RAINBOW". That's another one you should react to, the version where she is dressed like a hobo.
She did get the part in Phantom because of her marriage but it was specifically written for her to showcase her amazing voice. Phantom, listen to the end. Goosebumps!
Indeed the song with Celine Dion, The Prayer was a Grammy nominated hit. Since, Andrea Bocelli has topped the classical charts repeatedly. He has had several albums in the past 5 years which are all phenomenal.
Dereck, thanks so much for this reaction! Two of my favorite voices together, that I have enjoyed for years. Their version sends chills up my spine every time I hear it. I requested both this song, and Sarah's version of Ave Maria, at my Mother's wake because of the emotional messages I feel whenever I hear them. Do yourself a favor and watch one of Sara's concerts...I am sure you would enjoy it! Thanks again!
Yo tambien digo lo mismo son conciertos que se disfrutan de principio a fin soy fan de Sarah desde el 2015 año en que la descubrí y me encanta mucha de su música por que ella es única saludos
Andrea Bocelli was born with congenital glaucoma and became totally blind at age 12. He was hit in the eye playing goalkeeper for a football game. He suffered a brain hemorrhage, doctors tried to save his sight but we're unsuccessful. He started singing as a very young child. He actually completed law school....sang to make money while attending school.
Sarah is more a musical singer rather than opera singer even though she has an opratic sound to her. She is showing affection the way she does because Mr. Bocelli is blind.. :-)
Loved your reaction so much!!! You can react to the song "Canto della Terra" performed in 2007 by both singers. It was the second time they collaborated together. 💕
Gorgeous! An incredible duo by such beautiful voices! Sarah Brightman's voice is as clear as a crystal and light as air when she sings opera. That's what she brings to the genre. (She's made a career as a Classical Pop artist.) When she was in her mid-twenties, her then-husband (Andrew LLoyd Webber) wrote 'The Phantom of the Opera' for her, and she is the one to listen to when seeing/hearing it for the first time. I've seen this musical/operetta four times and it's so moving and beautiful. This work and Evita are two of my favorites from Webber. (He'd done so many!) From what I've seen, not many online videos exist of Sarah Brightman's performance as Christine in 'The Phantom of the Opera,' so I would recommend listening to the CD track of the same name to start with. But you may find performances of hers singing on a concert stage of some of the songs from this operetta. Great reaction! So glad you liked it!
Her albums, "Eden" ("One Night In Eden"), "La Luna", & "Harem" are, in my opinion, among her best combinations of airias & more conventional musical compositions/arrangements. I recommend them all.
just stunning i can listen to this everyday, love your reaction to every ebb and flow of this performance how you express your thoughts and feelins thank you
Dear Mr Dereck, Thank you for this, it was wonderful You might also like to check out Sarah Brightman and Jose Carreras singing the theme song for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.
It is not a funeral song, it's a love song. The title: "time to say goodby" is not a direct translation of the Italian title: "con te partirò" (I'll go with you, or I'll leave with you
Sarah Brightman s background is not opera .......probably more musical theatre .....was married to Andrew Lloyd Weber , he of Cats , and Phantom of the Opera ...
Finally Sarah Brightman dude! Love your reaction! You should check out a more contemporary Brightman´s work like FLEURS DU MAL live in Vienna: ruclips.net/video/mneHk5dXNLo/видео.html ENJOY!!
Always loved her since Phantom. You should check out Albert Hall performance with Antonio Banderas for the Andrew Llyod Webber Celebration (ex hubby!). I even forgave her for Starship Trooper.
If you would like to see Andrea Bocelli by himself. there is a video of him singing a concert in the Duomo in Milan during the Covid Markdown It a Concert For Hope At the Andrea walks out into the Square by himself anf singd Amazing Grace while the camera pans all over the world showing the empty streets of Major cities. It is very inspiring/
I wish he could hear more of Andrea Bocelli. Especially his version of « Ave Maria », « Amazing grace » and his must « Vivo per lei » (duet with Laura Pausini)
Oh Dereck. Three words: "Fall On Me". That's a duet from only a year or two ago, Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo. I have this suspicion you'd kinda like that...
This song has always been a source of irritation to me. The original Italian lyrics, which Bocelli sings, are the OPPOSITE to the supposed English ones. "Con Te Partirò" means "I will leave with you", which is hardly "saying goodbye". When the duo were singing the Italian lyrics once in concert, Brightman was getting tired of all the encores the audience kept demanding -- so she AD-LIBBED "time to say goodbye" in the song, to tell the audience that she was ready to pack up and go. The ignorant audience, who had no idea what they had been singing because they didn't understand Italian, suddenly got the idea that her ad-lib was what the song was about. No, it wasn't. Sure, somebody rewrote the lyrics to be about THAT, but it never was before.
I have 2 tickets for a concert of Andrea Bocceli at the 10th of January 2022 Amsterdam Ziggodome. It whas birthday a gift for my mother how is going to be 65 years old in December. She whas so glad when i told her that us 2 are going to him. 😆🎵❤👍
You pronounced "Nordischer Rundfunk" almost perfect. 👍 In 1997 I was in a kind of job college for 6 months and at the end ceremony the educators played that song, that was very emotional...
I have a CD of Phantom of the Opera. One day im listening to it in my car ,with the windows down. One of the songs she sings to the very TOP. A CAR next to me was starting and he followed me a long way. I pulled in a stor parking lot. The guy followed me parked next to me. Then i left he dident follow me this time. I don't know why ,maybe he wanted to know the singer. I was a little scared
ur musicaly savy, im suprised u hvnt heard vis b4. yes full orc- no expense was spared!. haha so gentle. err wait a while!. yeah ur rite, vis is top shelf in every way, takes yrs n yrs of training 2 b vis gd n most dnt get ver, sarah also a gd dancer ( whn younger), u got a gd ear my friend, was a big hit, crosswed v boundries of opera n pop n so well recived by v non opera buyers. cheers frm au.
Yes, the best known recording of 'The Prayer" is by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. There are of course many other versions. Probably the next best known is that by Charlotte Church and Josh Groban. Those versions are nearly identical because David Foster was involved in producing both...
You Know the song Andrea bocceli with Helene Segara "Vivo per lei" . A beautiful song ? I know this song by andrea bocceli only. thank you for discovery this duo
Just a suggestion you really should give a listen to ildivo ( Tiamero) . ps . I think I messed up the spelling . Oh ,and Regressa me , ( unbreak my heart ).
I like you but you ruined the flow by your pauses and there was no continuity. You could have shown your appreciation at the end which would have been interesting. Also you missed the ovation and them slowly leaving to a crescendo of applause....

no .....Bocelli became blnd ...after an illness at around age 10-11
Sarah Brightman is amazing. She never gets shrill. She is a voice that floats like a feather.
Amazing! Love your reaction. Takes me back when this song played on all radio stations. Sending love from Germany 🧡
Sarah Brightman and Antonio Banderas version of Phantom of the opera is stunning
Yeah ! That would be the best video to react about !
Yessss!! came here to say the same thing!!
Ha ha!
Sarah is incredible!
see her concert live VIENNA and special Running what a voice
Her live concert in Vienna is majestic...I'm blown away every time I see it!
The phantom of the opera there, is the best rendition
Listen to Pavarotti Nessus Dorma

What I like best about these sorts of reaction is that people from very different musical backgrounds can appreciate talent in another field.
More Italian music!
She was married to Andrew Lloyd Webber......who wrote 'Phantom of the Opera'. She was the original Christine.
Love your reaction. I love seeing young people discover true incredible talant. I am old and I get to see it through your eyes. Loved it.

Andrea Bocelli was born with congenital glaucoma and became totally blind at age 12. He was hit in the eye playing goalkeeper for a football game. He suffered a brain hemorrhage, doctors tried to save his sight but we're unsuccessful. He started singing as a very young child. He actually completed law school....sang to make money while attending school.
(In the 70's Sarah did disco, see I lost my heart to a starship trooper.)
La luna and captain Nemo is great.
Chills!,, everytime I saw them. Majestic like you say👌🏻❤️

Sarah is more a musical singer rather than opera singer even though she has an opratic sound to her.
She is showing affection the way she does because Mr. Bocelli is blind.. :-)

I've loved Sarah's voice since I was 13 years and now I'm a lot older
I'm laughing before it even starts because I know he's gonna be surprised
Have just got tickets to see him at the O2 London in October. Seen him twice now he's just amazing live
Her albums, "Eden" ("One Night In Eden"), "La Luna", & "Harem" are, in my opinion, among her best combinations of airias & more conventional musical compositions/arrangements. I recommend them all.
Muchas gracias son grandes álbumes saludos

Oh Dereck. Three words: "Fall On Me". That's a duet from only a year or two ago, Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo. I have this suspicion you'd kinda like that...
Yes! I was going to suggest the same! Brings tears to my eyes every time
Tienes q escuchar Bocceli con MARTA SÁNCHEZ cantante española la cancion MUSICA ES
This song has always been a source of irritation to me. The original Italian lyrics, which Bocelli sings, are the OPPOSITE to the supposed English ones. "Con Te Partirò" means "I will leave with you", which is hardly "saying goodbye".
When the duo were singing the Italian lyrics once in concert, Brightman was getting tired of all the encores the audience kept demanding -- so she AD-LIBBED "time to say goodbye" in the song, to tell the audience that she was ready to pack up and go. The ignorant audience, who had no idea what they had been singing because they didn't understand Italian, suddenly got the idea that her ad-lib was what the song was about. No, it wasn't.
Sure, somebody rewrote the lyrics to be about THAT, but it never was before.
Sarah was married to Andrew Lloyd Webber who produced The Phantom of the Opera. This is when Bocelli was first starting out. Sarah is icon of Opera.
I have 2 tickets for a concert of Andrea Bocceli at the 10th of January 2022 Amsterdam Ziggodome. It whas birthday a gift for my mother how is going to be 65 years old in December. She whas so glad when i told her that us 2 are going to him. 😆🎵❤👍
You pronounced "Nordischer Rundfunk" almost perfect. 👍 In 1997 I was in a kind of job college for 6 months and at the end ceremony the educators played that song, that was very emotional...
I have a CD of Phantom of the Opera.
One day im listening to it in my car ,with the windows down.
One of the songs she sings to the very TOP.
A CAR next to me was starting and he followed me a long way.
I pulled in a stor parking lot. The guy followed me parked next to me.
Then i left he dident follow me this time. I don't know why ,maybe he wanted to know the singer. I was a little scared
Andrea's voice can make numbers and names melt from a phone book. You should react to his diet with his son💖
If you enjoyed this you should listen to the GOAT Luciano Pavarotti sing Nessun Dorma.

Yes, the best known recording of 'The Prayer" is by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. There are of course many other versions. Probably the next best known is that by Charlotte Church and Josh Groban. Those versions are nearly identical because David Foster was involved in producing both...
You should check her out PRIOR to all the classical singing, Sarah Brightman and Hot Gossip 'I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper' 70s fun !!
Stunning!
You Know the song Andrea bocceli with Helene Segara "Vivo per lei" . A beautiful song ?
I know this song by andrea bocceli only. thank you for discovery this duo
Sure you're aware by now but Andrea Bocelli is blind, hence the caressess from Sarah.
Just a suggestion you really should give a listen to ildivo ( Tiamero) . ps . I think I messed up the spelling . Oh ,and Regressa me , ( unbreak my heart ).
No auto tuned singers back in the day. The saying is that the cream rises to the top. Not so much today.
I like you but you ruined the flow by your pauses and there was no continuity. You could have shown your appreciation at the end which would have been interesting.
Also you missed the ovation and them slowly leaving to a crescendo of applause....
number one at funerals? You taught me a lesson today. Thanks for surprising me. Really you don't look the part, but you do a great job.
Listen to her singing Hymn
Hi Derek! You could react to Diana Damrau's performance in "Queen of the night".
This song is just ridiculous, properly transcendental.
Sad yet uplifting, always brings a tear to my eye
Please react The prayer Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli in New York 2011
