Hi guys, Looks like Hayley's performance went perfectly this time around and she certainly got the attention of many Il Divo fans in Montreal i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifIf Hayley is to return for her own solo tour, I'm sure it'll be sold out in no time!! Allen

Zoe recorded this demo tape at live school after a netball match!! We used the school equipment which was very basic and had to put the microphone the other end of the class room because Zoe's voice was so loud!! Can you imagine what that will sound like in a recording studio with an orchestra playing?? Hi Linda, Looks like we have a Dame Zoe Mace in the making! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif What you said about how loud Zoe's voice is reminded me of an interview of Dame Shirley Bassey I've read just couple of days ago: When did you realise you had such a powerful voice?
"I was about 12, the first day at school choir, and I was in the front row. We started the song, and the teacher stopped and said 'Bassey, you are too loud, get back'. I went back and we started again and she said, 'Bassey, still too loud, back'. I went back until I was right at the back of the choir, and we started again and she said, 'Bassey, you are still too loud'. So I went back and back until I found myself in the hall. And I never heard from her again." Keep it up Zoe, you have a great voice! Thanks Gerrit for posting the clip, looking forward to hear more from Zoe. Allen

Hi Dave,
Looks like this will be good Hayley's Live From NZ special on Sunday, good cross-promotion on ITV's part. Perhaps we'll see a surge in Odyssey's sale next week?
Wonder why Faye Tozer's part was taken out from the TV version, perhaps due to licensing issues? Although the live performance for her duets left much to be desired, being taken completely out of the programme and the credits seem a bit rude. At least they left Hayley's parts uncut!

Hi everyone, The Live in NZ dvd was simply amazing!! Of all the dvd concerts I've seen, it's definitely one of the best if not the best. Unless Hayley and Andrea Bocelli decide to have a concert together, doubt there'll be another dvd that can compete! Now I feel like watching the dvd again... must resist so I can actually get some work done i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifAllen

I hope Hayley will record How Many Stars or another song with him on the next album. Me too! In fact "How Many Stars" is my favourite on the DVD Allen

Thanks for the lyrics for "How Many Stars?" Richard. It's been one of my favourites from the concert ever since I first saw it on TV Allen

Hi Roger, A number of people on the list are Canadians I believe (it's a rather biased list!). Michael Buble is from Vancouver and Jorane is from somewhere in Quebec. Check them out if you have time, they're both pretty good. To be honest, I don't recognize most of the names either AFAIK, only the Wuthering Heights video managed get to #1 on the Bravo chart. Let's hope Both Sides Now can repeat the success :wink: Allen

So I am hoping for an official classical chart re-entry for Odyssey soon, although we mustn't expect too much as it could be high at Amazon because local stores don't have it in stock. Perhaps now, they will start to stock it more widely. The timing (Christmas) is good. Indeed the availability is a big problem with Hayley's album here. The store I went to apparently only ordered total of 4 copies and 2 were sold by the time I got there! Not only that but it was placed in some obscure location away from the CD/DVD department. In contrast to the Pure album which I got from the exact same store.. it was placed together with other "new releases" right beside the top 10 albums. It was on sale for C$12.99 which is quite competitive You're right Dave, Bravo is an art channel so it's not exactly a mainstream tv station by any mean. I wish the Women of Songs episode was shown at a different time. Since it was on at 6am eastern time (3am for me on the other side of the country), I doubt that many people saw it. On a related note, CBC is showing (highlights?) the Classic Brit Awards in January next year, wonder if Hayley would be featured? Allen
