Sarah Brightman - Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again Lyrics

Anna is amazing!

Those ever unblinking eyes...they stare into the very depths of your soul...

The quality of the video has to do with the fact that this Play was created about 26 years ago! Filming and Editing and all have changed ALOT in those years. Also, I'm not saying that you have to love or even like Sarah Brightman BUT, you do need to give her some respect. She originated the role of Christine Daee and was part of the original cast and paved the way for other greats like Sierra Boggess or Samantha Hill or Gina Beck to shine.

Does that woman never blink?!

Isn't it Gustave Daaé?

She's coming to a fancy restaurant near where I live soon, can't wait to see her!

She's awesome, but in my opinion, Samantha Hill is WAY better. She was my first Broadway Christine, too, so that might be a factor in it :)

good hair unpleasant sound

This is one of my fave scenes from the Broadway show. So nostalgic and so poignant esp. when you think of the your loved ones who departed. Love Sarah Brightman's voice.

Damn, I really like the flashback scenes in this video. God they're so awkward. This video's ugliness is sort of tender and charming. Such low production values for such an important production.

her father is handsome! XD

Indeed, I will admit though Sierra Boggess certainly can hold her own, and I do enjoy Anna O'Byrne as well, she was fabulous in Love Never Dies

I love Sierra's Christine, but Sarah's performance makes me cry every single time I hear it.

Charles Daae?

Andrew Lloyd Webber write the music and since then he allways have Sarah Brightman for the character of Christine Daaé

good voice ugly hair

I think she does a good job but I hate the hair! So eighties! It ruins everything! That hair distracts from her voice!!!

I highly disagree with this comment.

Sarah sounds like she is attempting to make her voice sound like a chipmunk....this is lovely but...not my taste. But okay job.

She has a voice of angel, but she's too old for Christine. And she's not a good actress.
Hate me if you want ;)

Got to love 80's hair.

Oh yes, you CAN say that. . .THOSE EYES ! ! I have the DVD of the "Harem World Tour" and I just stare at THOSE EYES the whole show. . .
Oh, yeah. . .she can sing, too. . .

Emmy Rossum :-)

okay can I just say...I love her voice, and she's pretty...but her eyes!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...unbarably good

The best Christine.

Also, she never ages....ever. In fact, I think she looks younger in some of her recent pictures.

Beautiful song.

She is a wonderful singer, not an actor. LOL

Is it just me or does she always have the same facial expression

I love her singing

beautiful voice, beautiful song.
i play this on the organ it`s wonderful.

Sarah Brightman always looks like she is yawning while singing.

Beautiful voice.

Sarah Brightman is and always will be the best Christine!

i hate when people are saying she's ugly and a bad singer. "oh she has creepy eyes. her hair sucks." no. she is beautiful. th best singer ever.

This is Sarah Brightman though, were you comparing?

well said sir nothing more to say you said it all

how did 80's people get their bangs like that?! GEEZ.

what is wrong with you?! somebody is mourning about a loved one's death!!!!!! Yeah this song may be about a daughter missing her father but it's about somebody looking for guidance from a loved family member who died. the comment was uncalled for.

Your comment was unnecessary.

But this is Sarah Brightman...

woulda been cool is for that last shot they panned up to the phantom

Sarah Brightman, Queen of Opera in my opinion.

In my opinion Sierra Boggess has a beautiful voice,but when she sang this song it bugged me.

My favorite Christine is Sarah Brightman!

I believe you missed the point entirely. She clearly stated, "He loved this music and I just happened upon it today." So he liked this musical, and hearing this made her think of him again.

In addition, this song may have been written for a daughter/father deal, but it can be generally interpreted as a song about loss. That being the case, I believe it is perfectly relevant.

It is on the Sarah Brightman - Diva: The Video Collection

She IS Christine :)

re there other videos from the original cast like this? I had never seen this before, is there a DVD of it that can be purchased?

I agree the 2004 movie version is a better darker visual mood for the sorrowfulness of this song with the fog on the ground and the dark overcast sky fogged background filmed in the sound stage of a movie set this filmed outdoors version in more light; but Sarah Brightman's vocals here are much more powerful than Emmy Rossum's vocals in the movie. Sarah's vocals here bring goosebumps to me. I really do like Emmy's version of Christine but Sarah's vocals are better on this song. In my opinion.

Beautiful melody, i loved

suan the sorrow of st perpetura animated

There's a haunting effect on how Sarah sings this song... When I listen to Sierra's singing, I don't if it's just me but it's a bit sharp... Something that usually happens with soprano singers... But Sarah's didn't sound like that...

There's a haunting effect on how Sarah sings this song...

Not the best. Is a different version, a different Crhistine. Both are talented adn they have their own style. Sarah sings sweeter and Sierra has such a powerful voice. But Anna O'bryne the best with the acting

But Sarah's voice is just beautiful! What do I care about the video

uhhhhh................no offense, but i like the 2004 video better....this one was just creepy......

minus the vid. The audio is the best ver. for me (> v <)

Maybe there are better singers and actresses than her on Christine´s role, but she will always be the one and only Angel of Music for Andrew Lloyd Webber's eyes, and the one who started with Michael Crawford the huge success of The Phantom of the Opera.

Who is the actor who plays Sarah's father in this video?

Emmy Rossum in my opinion is better but Sarah is good too.

I love Phantom of the Opera but Sarah Brightman has to be my least favorite.

i agree! Emmy has horrible diction, I can't hear wth she is singing at times. poor choice for Christine! and also the Phantom for the 2004 moviie

it still amazes me that she had a stage career lol

Guh she's gorgeous and her voice is amazing.

Sarah Brightman has the most terrifying facial expressions. Or lack there-of.

Por Dios que cancion, muy conmovedora y la interpretacion exelente como todo lo de Sarah!!!

My dad just died...6 days ago. We got to see Phantom on Broadway in 1991. One of my FAVORITE musicals!

eleanor-rose juckiewicz seeing as andrew wrote phantom for her xxx

Why do I find her voice irritating?

my mom died a year ago today. phantom was one of the things we both dearly loved. i really am wishing she was somehow here again...

SARAH IS THE BEST CHRISTINE!

Seriously, does she EVER blink???

Beautiful video! I think sarah brightman's voice isnt good for the role as christine, but she is a good opera singer! I love her! but as christine...nah...

:( Very sorry for you.

Nobody sings it like Sarah. Emmy did great on this too, but Sarah did the best. Sarah is the best in Andrew's musicals, she will always be.

This song makes me cry sooo much and I'm not an emotional person at all

thats my dads name, and he died 4 years ago today!!

I somewhat see where they got their inspiration for Emmy Rossum's Hair for Christine in the movie except it's not as 3D as Sarah's:P beautiful video though

he will always love you ,love never dies never

He actually didn't write POTO for Sarah, she just happened to be the only ideal Christine at the time.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

@EADutton urgh, i think i pressed "vote down" but I definitely don't mean that. and I don't know how to undo that! I wanted to vote up and tell you that i really love your message, and hope that you'll continue to live well for both yourself and him :)

Today is the fourth anniversary of my husband's death. We were married for 28 years. He was my best friend. He loved this music and I just happened upon it today. Maybe he was trying to tell me something? I will always love you, my Dennis.

all of my singing teachers I had told me that I shouldn`t watch her singing because she`s doing it really wrong xD !!! now I know why haha

@zram2008 wonderful comment but as a fan of Ms. Brightman i might ad that Mr. Weber who wrote the musical based the entire show around his now ex wife. The Phantom of the Opera was entirely written around Sarah Brightman, kinda wish I knew what drove the two of them apart but many of his pieces were written with Sarah in mind as the primary performer.

I love Sarah, but she reminds me of Mr. Bean here.

I love Sarah Brightman to death, she was an awesome Christine, as well as an awesome Blind Mag. Long live Sarah Brightman.

what was andrew loyd webber thinking? "she is great!!"

She scares me...

The original and best. Sarah IS Christine and always will be!

the little christine's cute!

Sarah's voice is like angels singing that song besides that she is beautiful and is even more singing and uplifting

Don't like this...LOVE THIS is more like it! Songs like this are just so pulling at the heart strings as one grows older.

@NenadlPopovic mine too...

I love P.O.T.O. i know every word and every breath I'm in ,love with the movie so I agree that Emmy did a better job plus her innocence helped the character but I also argue that Sarah did a remarkable job but without the issue between Sarah and Andrew we wouldn't have the greatest film of forever and 2004=)

This song benefits so much from a powerful voice! :) Sarah's version gives me goosebumps every time. Emmy's just makes me cringe. You have to have a disciplined voice to do a song like this justice.
