Welcome, Elizabeth!


Congratulations on the fast success of your first CD.

I must say, I'm not at all surprised!

Hello everyone,

I also ordered Elizabeth's CD and I cannot wait to receive it. The three songs that are playing on www.elizabethmarvelly.com are absolutely awesome - especially the one in Maori.

Look forward to seeing you take the world by storm, Elizabeth.

Hi Graeme!


'Tis the bewitching hour of night' on this side of the world!

I think they're all in bed.

I'm sure Stephany is already dreaming up her next nine posts in her sleep.

If she sleepwalks, those nine posts could be on the forum by morning!

I have to agree with you, though:

You're wonderful

I mean Stephany.

Hello Thomas,

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm flattered
Love the French flag, although I'm not sure Elizabeth will appreciate seeing it if you read the end of the following interview:

FIVE MINUTES WITH ELIZABETH MARVELLY
15 November 2007
Dominion Post

Elizabeth Marvelly started her musical career singing to guests at her parent's Rotorua hotel as a child. The 18-year-old niece of Sir Howard Morrison was recently awarded the "rising star" title by Variety Artists, and has been signed to perform at Christmas in the Park in Auckland and Christchurch and Carols by Candlelight in Australia.

She is putting the finishing touches to her debut album after being signed by EMI Classics London. The self-titled album is due for release on December 3.

As I write this I am . . . preparing to head off to a singing lesson in Herne Bay.

Tonight I'm planning to . . . go out for dinner with my parents and some close family friends then head to bed early as I'm recording tomorrow.

It always makes me laugh when . . . I get pulled up in the studio for running words together. Yesterday I was singing "back home", which ended up sounding like "backcomb" and last week I was singing in French "Dit des mots", which ended up sounding like "didymo".

The thing I love most is . . . a stormy night, a really good book or old movie, an open fire and a milo. Bliss.

It annoys me when . . . people discriminate. Racism, sexism and homophobia are awful, completely pointless and unnecessary!

My most decadent pleasure is . . . shoes. One can never have too many pairs of very high-heeled shoes.

In my fridge I always have . . . fresh pineapple, strawberries and yoghurt; I adore summer fruits and berries.

My stand-out childhood memory is . . . going to watch The Phantom of the Opera with my mum in Auckland when I was eight. I was so hooked, I haven't stopped singing since.

The dream Friday night date would be . . . going to a live show of some sort; opera or musical theatre are good choices, then walking somewhere beautiful to have a drink afterwards and discuss the show (and the general state of the world . . . ) with someone interesting and opinionated but polite.

My ideal meal is . . . spaghetti pescatori with salad.

Washed down with . . . a nice sauvignon blanc, great company and lots of laughter.

My perfect holiday was . . . going to Melbourne to see Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? We only had three days, which were filled with shopping, fine dining, and loads of girl-talk.

My ultimate holiday companion would be . . . my little cousins, because then I'd get to do all of the cool kid stuff again!

The perfect dinner party invite list would include . . . Orlando Bloom, Elizabeth Taylor, Martin Luther King and Judy Garland. These four would certainly guarantee some interesting conversation.

I am most at peace when . . . I'm writing music at home with my gorgeous baby grand piano (which is named "Monty").

The best gig I ever played was . . . a tie between The New Zealand Aria, where I got to sing with the Auckland Philharmonia, and the Knight with a Dame tour -- an experience I'll remember forever.

My favourite restaurant is . . . at home in Rotorua I love the Princes Gate Hotel, and in Auckland I love The Occidental for the relaxed and fun atmosphere.

When I want to chill I . . . head out for a run or read a good book (or Harper's Bazaar for a bit of down time.)

My biggest let down was . . . the rugby world cup 2007. My school, friends and family went into mourning.

If there's one thing I want to accomplish in life it's . . . getting this first album out. Then let the journey begin.

See you on Saturday, Thomas!
Much love,
Stephany

Hi Stephany!

I hope Elizabeth won't take it too seriously. That was a sad moment when NZ had to go home so early. I really loved to watch them play. But in 4 years there's a new chance even on NZ's home turf. That's something to look forward to.

Can't wait for Saturday. Last concert for this year, will be a very special one.

Sorry for being off-topic again!

Lots of love

To be back on topic:
