It DOES take quite a number of years for Hayley to "Become" as old as Dame Emma ... I misread that as Dame Edna!   Richard  |

Hi Chungchunglee Dame Edna Everage is in fact an Australian comedian. The sort you either love or hate. Now, back on topic! Martin Oh ! Thank you ! I didn't know that . Anyway ............. Another song that comes up to my mind would be the song <Set Me Free> , originally performed by another "Popera" soprano Isgaard , who is from Germany. I have ALWAYS LOVED Isgaard . She is SOOOOOOOOooooo talented & has SOOOOOOOooooo much passion for her art & ......... she basically is just another AMAZING human being whom , Hayley herself would probably admire & that feeling of admiration would probably be mutual between the two. ........... but sadly , she failed to attain the SAME level of success Career-Wise as our girl Hayley did .   As for Isgaard's style , she basically is (Classical Operatic + Gothic Rock + Electronic) , I guess .  Her songs are all very creative & has a very "Atmospheric" edge to it . & most of her materials are ORIGINAL , & are usually about themes such as "Environmental Protection" , "Fighting for the goals of Humanitarianism" etc. the other 2 songs that are , I.M.H.O. , Simply Gorgeous , would be <Golden Key>  & <Dreams will Never Die> .

Yeah, there's the "everyone does that" factor. How about "Habanera?"
Or "The Downeaster "Alexa" by Billy Joel?

I can't imagine Hayley singing Habanera. I don't think it is a song for an angel, do you?

I DO remember that Charlotte Church has done that for "Enchantment" . sounded & looked Rather Slutty & Trashy , actually ..........  ) But ......... For an Angel , Ummmmm ..............   I guess .......... IF , Hayley would like to do something taken from the "More Operatic" side of the CC universe , maybe ............ How about , the very ethereal piece <Clair de Lune> , originally composed by Debussy , with the Vocalized , singing version originally performed by "OperaBabes" (Karen & Rebecca , namely.) |

Actually Katherine Jenkins did a good job on Habanera.
And Hayley was superb on O Mio Babbino Caro and One Fine Day. Oh, and Barcarolle.

How about The Downeaster Alexa? Or is that too much of a male song?

Martin D I guess , Katherine pulled that Aria off in a very CLASSY fashion . & ........... Martin , now that you've mentioned the Duet Barcarolle (performed together with Dame Melvina Major , I assumed) , something else sprung to my mind , too . How about the song , If Music Be the Food of Love ? .......... & also a Duet , if ever made possible , together with renowned German Counter-Tenor Andreas Scholl , on the Aria "Stabat Mater" , composed by Giovanni Pergolesi ?

Habanera fits KJ's type of voice; meaning operatic singers. True, Hayley sang O Mio Babbion Caro without sounding operatic (not to me, anyway), but I can't imagine Habanera sung without that operatic, diva-ish style. Hayley is no diva, and I can't imagine her singing it. It also stays in a pretty high range. I'm not saying Hayley couldn't sing it, I just don't think it would be right for her, or her for the song. Sorry.  |

Really? Habanera is high? I can sing it although I don't sound right. "She's Got A Way"? And I think I might think she'd sound good singing it because I sing it and not to brag, but I sound good doing it (and I'm unmistakeably a woman). I'll post a recording on my singing thread. |
