Bright flight is the sociologic and demographic term denoting a trend wherein everyone smart enough to realize there is nothing of value to be gained, economically or culturally, flees their community as the affluency of a geographic area decreases. Anyone able to contribute to advancing society will follow jobs and opportunities out of town, leaving a wasteland of mouth-breathers and neanderthals behind them.

Still a lovely lady, Sarah has carved quite a place for herself in pop, classical music, and crossover. Among her hits have been Con Te Partiro, with Andrea Bocelli, whose career soared because of her (Andrea had limited success with Con Te Partiro, and Sarah was enchanted when she heard him on the radio and she offered to record it with him as a duet, which they did.). Her Albums include Timeless/Time To Say Goodbye, Eden, and La Luna.
Truly an "Angel of Music", her multi-octave crystalline soprano graces her music and she often dances at her concerts, having taken dance/ballet for years. To top it off, she has lavish sets at her concerts. A true artist, she could teach Britney Spears a whole slew of things... if Britney were smart enough to learn.
