All I have to say is :o :o :o
Sarah Brightman blows my mind. She has this incredible knack for covering some of my all time favorite "semi-obscure" songs... and while she has her strengths, covering pop songs is not one of them!
A couple years ago I was stunned to hear that she selected "Deliver Me" by the Beloved, which is one of my all time faves, for her "Eden" CD. Of course it doesn't even get near the original!
Then, while still relatively unknown, she came out with a version of "Here With Me" (Dido) on the "La Luna" CD. Of course the original was in my Top 3 of the year for THREE separate years! Sarah's cover just was not even in the same league as Dido's!
Now.. to top that off, she added a bonus track to her latest LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS CD, and wouldn't you know it's a cover of Anggun's absolutely UNTOUCHABLE song "Snow On The Sahara!" Another of my ALL TIME favorite songs.
Of course I had to download it and it was exactly what I expected. It made me want to play Anggun's version!!
I have to give Sarah credit though - she has extremely excellent taste in picking songs to cover!!

I thought Sarah Brightman normally releases to AC. Her covers are always interesting.

My mom found the CD used on Saturday and got it. Listened to her song, and I like it a lot!
Of course I love Anggun's version with all my heart, but this is a good take on it.

I'm not a big fan of Sarah Brightman in general. I love Anggun's version however...
