Hello everybody!! A longer sample of the new duet 'Time to say goodbye' with Hayley & Russell is available on Russell's official website. It is absolutely stunning. Hayley's voice is really getting better and better. I'll definitely buy the digital track on Monday - first thing in the morning! Stephany |

Stephany Hi Stephany I've just had a listen and I totally agree, it IS an absolutely stunning track. Although I would like to hear it solo and compare it to Hayley's original version. Lots of Love Grant xxx |

Hi Stephany and Grant, I agree that this duet with Hayley sounds very nice and thanks Stephany for posting the link! I've just had that series of long samples from Russell's new album playing for about half an hour... all the tracks not just the duet with Hayley. And I have to admit, I have very much enjoyed it, this is a fine Easy Listening album by Russell and I really hope it does well... and that he does well too with his health. This is growing on me, it is most enjoyable and i might even buy the entire album!  Cheers, Dave |

How can you tell the difference between a classical and an easy-listening album? I see that Russell's new album 'Outside In' contains at least a couple of classical tracks. Shouldn't it be included in the 'Classical' category as well? Incidentally, I just listened again to all the samples. I think I might also buy the entire album!  Cheers,  Stephany |

Stephany That means we have to buy an album of Russell, though I don't quite like him. |

Hi Graham, Feb 6th 2002 was Russell Watson's Concert Hayley's birthday is April 10th 1987. This means she was 14 yrs old & approaching her 15th birthday (2 months afterwards) as she sang "I dreamed a dream" On that day Russell described her as a "little phenomenon". Looking at that statement today I think he massively understated her but, of course, how was he to know? .....Is that enough? Graeme ( the other one) |

Hi everyone, Have just seen Hayley on the Russell Watson concert. Just brilliant as I expected; but if I got the concert date right, she was just 15 coming up 16 years old at the time which makes it even more amazing Best wishes, Graham Hi Graham. The concert was actually in February, so Hayley was still 14 and yes a stunningly beautiful performance from our young star! Best wishes Grant P.S. I see Graeme (the other) has already confirmed Hayley's age as 14 at the time of the concert. Oh well! never mind - 2 posts are better than none!  |

Hi All,
Have just downloaded "Time to Say Goodbye" sung by Hayley & Russell on his new Album Outside In.
It came from 7 digital & cost ~ 0.46 GBP.
Oddly enough it downloads as a Wma & gave me ownership of the track, but then refused to grant me a license for transfer to Itunes.
So I ended up copying it off my audio card....sigh.
Anyhow, many many thanks Stephany, Dave, Dori, Richard for the tip.
Since Hayley's duet with Bocelli, of the same song, while on Gotta Skate late in 2005, I've been busting to hear how Hayley's voice has changed. I loved that 2005 duet instantly.
So this one? My wife & I listened together open mouthed.....Magnificent !!!!
