I'm re-sending this 'cause I made a boo-boo which Mr. Wisner has pointed out 
(very nicely, I might add...)

    I've been listening to Sarah Brightman's 'Dive' album, which contains a
    few Bush-like ballads and an overall water concept (sound familiar?). I
    was wondering if anyone else is into her...and if any of you Brits can
    provide information on her popularity over there. I don't think she's had
    a hit in the U.S. -- other than being the original Christine from 'Phantom
    of the Opera,' that is.

Well, Robb, you are correct in that her music is not overly popular in the 
states... but I'm rather glad of that, albeit selfishly.  Many artists change 
their style to fit a more mass audience (or refuse to continue evolving their 
personal style may be a better way of phrasing that) when their music becomes 
'popular' [**THE PRECEDING STATEMENT WAS MY OPINION**].

I was able to acquire a radio station promo of Sarah Brightman singing "Love 
Changes Everything" and "Anything But Lonely" which are selections from Andrew 
Webber's musical 'Aspects of Love'.  Quite good.  I've only heard a bit of 
'Diva' but her disc of 'The Songs That Got Away' I enjoy when I'm in the mood.

Sorry to wax rhapsodic... I seem to be a bit type-ative this evening.
