I'm really sorry if somebody made a thread on her already, but I didn't see one when I searched.

From Wikipedia
Sarah Brightman (born 14 August 1960) is an English classical crossover soprano, actress, songwriter and dancer.

Brightman debuted as a dancer in troupes such as Hot Gossip and later released a string of disco singles. She was a musical theatre performer and partner of theatre composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, with whom she originated roles including Christine Daaé in The Phantom of the Opera. Her 1984 marriage to Andrew Lloyd Webber ended in 1990.

After her divorce, Brightman became a crossover artist with former Enigma producer Frank Peterson. Her style, a blend of classical vocals and pop-inspired instrumentation and arrangement, earned her further success. Brightman has received 160 Gold and Platinum awards in 34 countries[1] and is the only artist to hold #1 spots on the Billboard Classical and Dance charts simultaneously. She has sold 26 million albums in the last 17 years alone, and 50 million throughout her 30 year career including her theater stage, establishing herself as the best-selling soprano of all times.[2][3]
