She used some of the art from Guild Wars on an album cover. That's about it.

She is a vocalist that used Guild Wars art in her new album. Didn't you read the article on GuildWars.com?

Ah. I wish they could explain these things in the update instead of linking us to her website...
Would've been more interesting if she was involved in a bigger project...
Wait, article?
*Goes and checks*
Oh crap, on the side.
Err...
Well, first thread and I already look like an idiot.
Better not post threads when I'm sick then...

Nice topic, Sam Brightman, hahaaha.

She got the art guy from GW to do it, so he copypasta'd some kurzick art. Lazy jerk.

Sam? Who's Sam?

I love Sarah Brightman and I've bought all her albums. I was very surprised to open up this one and discover a lot of Kurzick art. I knew that last one looked extremely like the Kurzick area splash screen but wasn't able to see the 2 photos side by side for little while.

I read all the little fine print in the cd until I found the "all artwork copyrighted by Arena Net and Guild Wars" notice. Wayyy Cool.

Am I the only one who finds the art very... well bad when used in this context. I would further describe my true thoughts, but they may provoke someone to become upset.

She was also married to Andrew Lloyd Webber for a while and played the female lead (Christine) in the original Broadway production of The Phantom of the Opera.

Sarah Brightman is the ex wife of Andrew Lloyd Webber. He wrote Phantom of the Opera for her. She is the original Christine. She does her own album's now. Most of them can be termed 'Easy Listening'. I didn't know she was using GW art for her new album, but the design looks great.

Uhm, why are you ashamed of knowing this, are you afraid being knowledgable about such matters makes you uncool?

And yes she was married to Andrew Lloyd Weber. She was the original Christine when the Phatom of the Opera premiered all those years ago. She is a very talented vocalist and starred in many of Weber's musicals.

She also sung with the the 3 Tenors on at least one occassion that I know of.

Mostly it's a dislike of Andrew Lloyd Webber. (He's ok, he writes ok plays, but I've known a few too many people who worship him as if he's some kind of god of the next coming of Shakesphere)
