From the moment Sarah started singing I knew that was the time she had that throat surgery because her voice was ,how to say it ,not complete.like she couldn't hit the notes she usually does .still it is a great performance and I love Sarah
very wonderfully sung, by both persons. for those who don't like how sarah sang it, that's actually how a lot of female opera singers sing, with that much vibrato. it might not be as awesome as you think it should be, but considering her age and all, she still has a beautiful voice. as for josh, he was born to sing opera. the most amazing part is how he isn't even really trying to use the full potential of his voice. if this is him not trying fully, i can't imagine how amazing he'd be if he did.
Yeah, we all know, he wrote this for her, but she is not that young girl anymore, and honestly, with all respect..I didnt like this perfomance...It was also slower than original, I think
You know, guys, I think it's perfectly reasonable for someone to express their opinion, and I think I did it respectfully. The impression I got from this performance was, "Josh is amazing - Sarah could be better." They just aren't compatible here. If you want to make it a big thing about how I hate her voice blah blah blah, you go ahead. But everyone has a right to their opinion.
I agree with @AlboEcoSkit. Look up the original recording of this with Sarah Brightman and Steve Barton; she sang it just like that. Why? Because that's how it was written.
On another note (pun intended) Josh Groban did amazingly. I actually feel he rushes these songs a bit (he did the same with "Music of the Night") but he is quite obviously more than capable of singing the part, and I quite enjoyed listening.
Ugghhh, I really hate Sarah Brightman. She doesn't hold a candle to Josh, and what's with the constant changing of tempo? Can't she keep up with him??
Sarah was also recovering from throat problems He had a nodule removed two days before this was performed. I am surprised she even showed up. So lets give he a little credit folks.
The problem with this is now that Sarah is older, she's having a harder time reaching those high notes. So she has to start lower, and it's just not a comfortable range for her.
I really feel that Sarah could've tried harder, or changed her voice style to something other than the wavering, weird way she sings it. Josh is over there, giving his heart to the music as always, but I feel like she isn't.
@twiwonder This song is hers; Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote this specifically for her. She knows how it's supposed to be sung. She's singing it like it was meant to be because she was one of its originators. It is valid to say she doesn't sound as pure or bright as she used to, but it's been two decades since she sang it as the original Christine.
She doesn't have this wobbling vibrato in many of her other live performances at this time, which means she deliberately sang it this way here.
@AlboEcoSkit Yes, that is true. I don't mean to diss Sarah, and I realize it's been awhile for her. Still, I believe another performer would have been more suitable.
During this time Sarah just was through a vocal surgery. During her Harem era she did tour and promot so much that her voice was damaged. you can clearly hear, if you are a true fan, that recordings after Harem are diffrent. Her voice is not as it used to be. Perhaps time and ageing has played a part in it aswell.

The slower the song, the more pronounced the vibrato will tend to be; the song also seems to be in a lower key.

@twiwonder she just has a peculiar style that is all, if she did what everyone else did she wouldn't be so popular.
