Lady Gaga OR Sarah Brightman: 1st To Perform in Space?
Quote:
British singer Sarah Brightman is scheduled to begin training this year for a 2015 flight to the International Space Station where she hopes to become the first professional musician to sing from space, the company arranging the trip said on Tuesday.
“She’s absolutely 100 percent committed,” Shelley said during a National Space Club Florida Committee meeting. “She’s putting together her mission plan now.”
Brightman, who would become the eighth privately funded space tourist, is slated to fly in September 2015. Her training to fly on a Russian Soyuz capsule is scheduled to begin as early as this fall, Shelley said.
He said she planned to be the first professional musician to sing from space.
But she faces competition from Lady Gaga, who according to media reports late last year intends to be the first when she performs one song in space in early 2015 on a Virgin Galactic flight. Virgin Galactic, part of Richard Branson's Virgin Group, plans to offer suborbital space flights.
Brightman said in 2012 that she would travel to the space station, but her plans were not confirmed until now.
Brightman will be the first private citizen to visit the station since Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Lalibarte paid about $35 million for an 11-day stay in September 2009.
“He paid us a deposit and whenever we have a seat available, he has the right of first refusal,” Shelley said. —Reuters
Sarah Brightman is a 53 years old who is an English classical crossover soprano, actress, songwriter and dancer. She has sung in many languages, including English, Spanish, French, Latin, German, Italian, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Catalan and Occitan.
Lady Gaga is a 28 years old singer who we already know who is.
Who do you think will be the perfect fit to sing in space in this history making event?
Sarah is also going to visit the International Space Station.

This is a Gaga stunt, not your old opera ass.
If you love Sarah so much, you should know that it's her childhood dream to go to space so this is more about fulfilling that dream rather than just pulling a stunt.

"This extraordinary voyage has been many months in the planning but more accurately, has been many years in the making," she said. "Throughout most of my life, I felt an incredible desire to take the journey to space that I have now begun."
She said her dream began in 1969 when she was eight years old watching Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon
"There, as a small an incredulous child, I watched a man bound gently from the steps of a rocket ship and land on the surface of the moon," she said. "This really was an adventure, it was something miraculous. For me, it was an epiphany.
"A journey into space is the greatest adventure I can imagine. The opportunity to orbit the Earth, witnessing multiple sunrises and sunsets every day, looking back to our small blue life-sustaining jewel from a distance gives me the greatest sense of anticipation."
Supposed, news of her plan to go to space has been circulating since 2012.
Anywho, the first person/people to ever sing in space were the crews on Apollo 9 or Yuri Gagarin depending on the source. Then there's Chris Hadfield who many believed to be the first to make a music video in space.
Sarah is also going to visit the International Space Station.

That's beautiful, I hope she makes it.
I think Gaga's "stunt" is supposed to be the first commercial show/concert in space though.
