any fans of this wonderful artist? I recently heard Dust In The Wind and was amazed.

Fan is maybe a big word, but I like her music.
I like “It’s a question of honour (part 2)” the most.

No.
There are songs that she does cover, yes:
“Who wants to live forever” - Queen is one.
However there are a lot of songs she does that are original. I wish I could remember the one that used to be just an intstrumental arrangement only, until she sent a letter to the man who wrote it for consent to add words to it.
A summation of her words: “I wrote and wrote and pestered him, until he finally gave in.”
It’s a beautiful song.

lol covers lol sarah brightman does cover all the time :) to be honest you gotta give a woman who can barely say a sentence with more than 2 words in it credit for having the balls to do an album with no covers for once, but sarah brightman isn’t relevant :)

She should have kept on doing musicals. What’s the point of covering any damn song, adding some techno beats to them and singing them in I-have-no-idea-how-you-want-to call-that-style (it surely isn’t opera)...did someone say sellout?
Nevertheless, she did some good covers!

Ladies and Gentlemen (and I use those words loosely):
NOT ALL OF MS. BRIGHTMAN’S SONGS ARE COVERS!!! I challenge those who say that all of her songs are covers to grab any one of her CDs and open the liner notes. Yes, she’s done SOME covers:
Queen “Who Wants To Live Forever”
Louis Armstrong “What A Wonderful World”
James Taylor “First of May” (not absolutely sure of that one)
“Dust In The Wind” by Kansas
Who the hell hasn’t?? Cher’s done U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”... AND SHE DID IT MUCH BETTER!!!! (imho).
To say that all Ms. Brightman’s songs are covers is like saying that Milli Vanilli NEVER lip synched.

@Littlespooky: Don’t take my comment too bad. It’s just a spin on what cowboyusa wrote lol. :)

I want to get her Dive album as soon as possible. Curious how her Johnny Wanna Live version sounds like.

It’s a good album.
Also, if you like Enigma (as well as Sarah Brightman), check this place out too:
