Here are some tweets from the last several days, including a couple teasers... one of which I know they've already shown (the first one with just the guy playing the song):
Check out the flag clues in this one! US, Canada, Mexico, Puretro Rico, Peru, and Uruguay!

I searched the US Amazon, and while the album won't come up in a specific search for it, it comes up in a general search for Sarah Brightman. However, when you click the image for more details, it says "sorry, page not available". I wasn't able to post the photo here, but here's a photo someone on twitter posted in reply to the latest post; I'm not sure if they fixed it themselves, or if they found it somewhere else, but I agree, it's better than the gold one. Also I wish she didn't look so fake in it. And I don't mean plastic surgery, I mean it looks doctored; she looks a bit like a video game character.   |

I have my tickets to the Seattle show, March 16, at the Paramount Theatre! I got a front floor section, not the straight in front ones, but the angled section, row F, which I assume is the 6th row, but now I'm not sure if there might be rows "AA" and "BB", but even so, that's way better than row W, or Z, like I saw when the pre-sale first started. LOL
Oh, this just in! I got an email telling me my ticket purchase includes a "physical CD copy per pair of tickets, of her upcoming album Hymn..."
I hit the redeem button, and now they say I'm going to receive it at no additional cost! Yay! No pre-ordering necessary!
Did you get the email, too, Alicia?

I hit the redeem button, and now they say I'm going to receive it at no additional cost! Yay! No pre-ordering necessary! That was a very nice surprise for you Libby. It will raise many interesting questions about album sales and chart entry and positions on charts. Will they count the sale to have been transacted on the day of the concert. ie. 5,000 seats means 2,500 albums sold, I imagine 3 concerts in a week would put you straight to No. 1 in the chart. I am curious about the tax position for the artist, the cds are being given away "FREE". They can probably be declared as expenses. I wonder if they will be marked "Promo not for resale" or something similar, concert goers edition perhaps. Either way it is a nice surprise and it would be great if other artists  took up the idea as well. |

Oh, you might find it interesting that her record label for this album is Decca, at least it said so on the Amazon UK website.

Here's a sneak peak at Mario duetting with Sarah for the DVD filming the other night! I'm getting excited (if I wasn't already)!! And here's an outstanding new video from Sarah (and Frank)! I loved hearing some of the music! I was a bit shocked that the "Better is One Day" song was the one that I know from church years ago! Not in a bad way, just very surprised! It's a straight up worship song, so some might consider that "too religious", but then, many people are religious. It does say "Lord Almighty" and "the living God", so I suppose it's hard not to call that religious, but I doubt many of her fans would be offended by that. In fact, here on this forum, there was only ever one person who was offended by Hayley's Majesty, and nobody's heard from him since, that I know of!  I have to say I'm very intrigued and excited to hear her rendition of a worship song I used to sing for years when I was in youth group. Here are the lyrics for anyone interested: genius.com/Matt-redman-better-is-one-day-lyrics |

I'm guessing it'll be one theatre per populated area, so if it's all the way in Seattle, I most likely would not go. I don't expect it to be close enough for me. I'll buy the DVD and go to the concert, anyway. Speaking of the concert, I was wrong about my seats. I thought I got the front section that's smaller and at an angle. But I actually got one of the front, forward-facing sections, and only in the 6th row! Very close, but not TOO close! Sounds like possibly a near perfect seat! It's just under 6 months away, but as quick as fall and winter seem to go (it seems to get to Christmas very fast these days; funny how that works when you grow up LOL), it'll be there before we know it. And I have Skate America coming up in about 3 weeks to keep me going.  |

Here's a trailer for the Live in Concert show! There's currently a contest to win tickets to the theatre screenings, going on every Monday for a while, but I forgot to attempt an entry yesterday. You have to take a picture of the theatre you'd go to, and tweet/post it with a certain hashtag, but I forgot to take the photo. I even work right by it, and I could have done it on my way to the bus home, but it totally slipped my mind! I probably wouldn't win anyway, and I think they want selfies, which I can't do very well. My face always looks elongated and horrid when I take selfies, so that's why you'll never see them on my social media. LOL Plus, it's been shown that selfies make your nose look larger than it will in a "regular" photo, so it's not my imagination if my face looks worse than usual in a selfie. LOL |

Since this is a song she said was from the '70s, I was trying to find lyrics to it, but... not surprisingly it was very difficult to search for it without getting nothing but websites for lyrics for hymns! LOL I can understand some of it, but you know how it is. I used to be positive I knew Hayley was saying something different than what she actually says in her song Summer Rain. I even plastered my hear to the speaker, risking hearing damage, trying to figure out who was right and who was wrong, but finally I just accepted what they actually were, and now I can hear the right lyrics. LOL
Anyway, I finally just typed in some lyrics I did understand, and came up with the right song. I don't know why I didn't think of that before, that's what I've done other times when I heard songs I didn't know on the radio, and wanted to find who the artist was (that's how I became a fan of Brandi Carlile, or, at least when I began buying her albums).

New video released today! I actually heard it in full the other day because I discovered an unannounced (that I know of) still image video like we got with Hymn, yet it had been there for 2 weeks.  I like this guy's voice, if a tiny bit nasal, and actually sounds like a good duet partner for her other staple duets, as well. However... he was at the live concert to sing this song, yet it was Mario who sang at least one other duet (and I'm guessing he sang more). I bet he sang Phantom with her. And, as mentioned, last I checked, his schedule is mainly clear for the near future (early next year, in particular). Also, some recent social media posts that include new photos:   |
