Very weird ... Brightman DID sing .. but I never heard her announced or saw her. And if I remember this song correctly (it's on the video above) it was the male singer singing, the female voice was just background humming ... hmmpf.

Thanks for all the links!

Maybe you stepped away for a minute and missed her? She had super long hair extensions and I remember Bob saying she was going to come out of the globe. A few of us commented on her. It wasn’t a long segment.

I saw Sarah singing. They were introduced, then the tv booth guy said he is one of the most popular singers from China, and she is from the original Phantom and is also wildly popular in China. He sang solo for a long time before she joined the song.
