Brightman reportedly paid more than $51 million. If that story is true, there may be some interesting bidding wars in the future."

    Oops, no, wait, she didn't... it was some Albanian soprano with a French actress doing the blue Diva thing.

    Geez, it's like I'm some sort of repository of common misconceptions on the internet lately...

    OK, I'm with you... I have no idea who Sarah Brightman is. But I do have one of her albums "Harem". It's not very interesting compared to Tori Amos or even the real middle eastern stuff I listen to.
