Time to say goodbye is a beautiful and sad song. Why someone would have it in a wedding is beyond me, since the song is obviously NOT about falling in love.
Donna Summer's rendition of this song is not intended to sound anything like the original. If people are listening to this and expecting her to sound like Brightman, than they are obviously going to be disappointed.
This is neither an ethereal opera style performance, nor is it intended to be a techno club version of the song.
It's a dance version. People should venture outside their little boxes before reviewing an album. If you want to hear techno, download a song by Juno Reactor or Orbital and get back to me. Donna does an outstanding job at turning a beautiful song into a thoroughly enjoyable dance track. And for the record, of course the translation does not match up! The lyrics would sound awful with a direct translation. Common sense should tell you that all translated pieces are changed somewhat, not to compromise the integrity of the work, but to prevent it from sounding OBVIOUSLY translated.
Star 69 is the alter ego of Peter Rauhofer, one of the most celebrated DJ's today. His remixes have appeared on singles by Madonna, PSB, Depeche Mode, and Cher. These are not second rate remixes by crappy DJ's like DJ skribble.
