Get the Schadenfreude mug.The ex-wife of Andrew Lloyd-Webber and the original Christine from Phantom of the Opera.
Still a lovely lady, Sarah has carved quite a place for herself in pop, classical music, and crossover. Among her hits have been Con Te Partiro, with Andrea Bocelli, whose career soared because of her (Andrea had limited success with Con Te Partiro, and Sarah was enchanted when she heard him on the radio and she offered to record it with him as a duet, which they did.). Her Albums include Timeless/Time To Say Goodbye, Eden, and La Luna.
Truly an "Angel of Music", her multi-octave crystalline soprano graces her music and she often dances at her concerts, having taken dance/ballet for years. To top it off, she has lavish sets at her concerts. A true artist, she could teach Britney Spears a whole slew of things... if Britney were smart enough to learn.
