And look, she's using a REAL camera!! I didn't even notice that at first. That's the only kind I use. Except hers looks fancier than mine. Mine's just a small Sony digital camera.

Hayley is now over 11k followers on Instagram 😀 Would they all buy the new album if it were released soon ? You would think so! As long as they're all actually checking her account on a regular basis, they shouldn't miss any announcements she might make... someday. Umm, but, for the record, she has 22.6k followers on Twitter! And, on her Facebook page it says "93,720 people like this" and "87,024 people follow this" (I don't quite understand that; if you like someone's page, you'd think you'd be following them, as well. Otherwise, why would you hit like?) Which makes it all the more unfortunate that she does not post there (twitter in particular) very often anymore. But, of course, you know she'll post the important stuff (albums and concerts) on all SM sites.

Yes, I'm excited, too! I still wonder about that trip to the Island of Wight, whether that was for photo shoots, videos, or more collaborating. Someone said that Sarah Class was from there originally, I think...? I wonder if Tom Deluca is working with her. I still think she worked with Diane Warren at some point (unless the bird named Bogie is actually Tom's, but then we know that Diane has at least one picture of a bird similar to Bogie in her house, even if she never posts about him otherwise). I read that she has had her other bird, Buttwings, for about 25 years, and there was some info from years ago on another bird she had at one point, too. I just wish Tom had a social media page! All you find is a magician/hypnotist with the same name! LOL As for Paradiso, yes, I wish there had been another video.. Well, actually, I believe that there was. Somewhere along the line I remember seeing some sort of promo video that showed bits of another video set to Cinema Paradiso: Profumo Di Limone. There was one shot of her sitting on the side of a bed, and then I recall seeing some sort of old-fashioned telephone or something. It might have been filmed in the same place that Whispers was, inside that building/house that we see her in for part of it. I wonder why they never used it, not even on the Japanese album with the bonus tracks and music video. And then that has me wondering if every country will get the same songs, or if she's still with the company that likes to play games with her fans and scatter her songs everywhere. I have a feeling Hayley would prefer not to do that, either. Yes, if my memory serves me correctly it was during the Paradiso teaser. But I’ve been wrong before. All I know is that Paradiso is a solid album and was created to stand against Time much better than 90% of music that has been released in the last 2 decades. Hayley should be very proud of that album. I also agree that any and all music videos should been released. What are they doing with it being kept in the Hayley vault? Waiting for when she is not working? 🙄 I mean there have not been much in Hayley Land for 4 working on 5 years!! It would have been a nice gift to us fans. But atlas, I’m not the one running fan relations. I would also work hard to get Hayley’s VEVO account with ALL her music videos and promos. Streams now count towards chart positions and downloads here in the USA. So when ever this first single comes out, I will have it on repeat continually in high hopes it helps Hayley on the charts. But it would help her out all around cause that is the future, if I like it or not. Maybe get her a bigger following here in the USA if everything was in one place. Album sells (downloads) would be higher too. If anyone wants to mention this to Hayley on Twitter, that would be GREAT!! I am not on Twitter so thank you in advance!! 😊❤️ Cause right now, Hayley has 3 videos on her VEVO account: Treasure teaser, Both Sides Now music video, and River of Dreams clip from Live in NZ. *end of rant* As for different versions of her album, it seems they are reducing that problem. The only version worth buying of Paradiso was the Japanese version. And maybe one in your home country to support Hayley. And for Hushabye, there were 3 versions: Japanese, Twainese, and British download. All in all, that’s a great reduction from the half dozen to dozen you needed for Pure and Odyseey. But we will see....I expect versions if for no other reason that a Japanese tune or Twainese song will not be popular here in the West. We as fans will enjoy it, but the casual fans probably not so much.

Thank you for the info Jim and Joe! By the looks of it, our Hayley is trying to get a song or place one of her songs in the movies or TV shows. I think it’s a great strategy as long as this does not postpone the album any longer. 🤞

Alicia, I'd be glad to say something to Hayley, but I'm not sure she'll notice it. Also, I have to think of a shorter way to say it; character limits, you know. LOL So, just say something about putting more of her videos on the Vevo account? Or even just her new Hayley Westenra account. Also, what about Whipsers in a Dream? Is that not on that one? Yes, there are so many things that could be done better, so it feels kind of mean to tell her that she's not doing anything right. Especially since we don't even know that she's not doing anything... but that's because she still hardly tell us anything. That is the biggest thing that needs to be improved, though it has been a little better lately. And, of course we know that when she has an album and/or tour coming, she will tell us, but I still have my doubts that she will do as much as she should to make her work be known as much as it could be. I do think she still loves her career, but sometimes at the same time, it seems like she just doesn't really care.
I've been thinking about her singing being in film since that photo from Air studios back in May 2016!! That was when 14th Street Studios thanked her for singing with them, and they are into film music in particular. Also, at the time there was something I saw about Lorne Balfe, who does film music, too. Yet it's been almost 2 years, and we still have not heard what it is she sang "with them"! Isn't that pathetic?
I bought 3 versions of Paradiso; the ones you said, plus the NZ version. There was no way I was going to wait to hear it when it was out in April, and the rest of us had to wait till August or October (or June, for Japan). Yes, I still remember each month that Paradiso was released. Haha.

I can't find Hayley on Getty images for this event (or just a general search of her name there). How do you think she got to be in this if nobody cares who she is? I was trying to search on google yesterday how people get to be in red carpet events, but the only thing that really came up was how people can attend said events. I also read that while people who attend the Oscars (as an example) can walk a red carpet separate from the celebrities, the security personnel are yelling constantly for them to move along, and not to take photos! LOL That probably applies to smaller events like this, too, though I don't know how many "normal" people would even be aware of such an unheard of event like this.
In a google search of the event (I made sure to put in 8th annual), I found a pic of Diane Warren there, and got excited, but it turned out it was from 3 years ago. And nothing on Diane's page about attending, and she usually posts about her events. She gets nominated for a lot of things.

From Hayley's Instagram story today. I'm not sure how much it provides in the way of information, but I love her budding smile in this one. I also dig her headband. I wonder if she's smiling because she enjoys the way her new recordings are sounding... <hopefully>

2 new stories posted about an hour ago. One was a laptop, with some headphones next to them, above/on one of those rugs they have at that famous LA studio she was at not too long ago. The next one, she was seen swinging a liquor bottle back and forth. LOL I couldn't read it, too fast, and trying to absorb everything at once when you have almost no time to do it means I don't absorb much of anything. But yes, I did see the hairband... and the bottle. And the headphones.
