Sarah Brightman

Last night, Richard, Arnon and I went to see Sarah Brightman perform at the HP Pavilion. As usual, her voice was amazing! However, HP Pavilion is a terrible venue for a concert because of horrible acoustics.

A few years ago, we saw Sarah Brightman at the Arco Arena in Sacramento. That concert was perfect! Last night's concert, although very good, had disappointments.

First of all, Sarah Brightman was supposed to be promoting her new Symphony album and we were eager to hear the songs we've come to love, but because Christmas is just around the corner, she performed several songs from her new Christmas album and only a few from the Symphony album.

The best song on her new album is Pasion, a duet with Fernando Lima. We knew she would perform that song with a guest singer because that's the hit song off the album, but in the end, she didn't. Can you believe it?

Even worse, Fernando Lima actually showed up to the concert and the two sang a duet called Ave Maria from his new Christmas album. We were disappointed that he had come all that way and then failed to sing the one song that everyone was longing to hear.

Arnon said it was like a cock tease.
