Hello and Welcome, Ani !
Nice to have you aboard our forum! I'm so happy that you saw Hayley at Wembley! Yes, she handled the entire tour briliantly and professionally.
I believe that Hayley opening for Il Divo has really helped her in the USA. Many fans of Il Divo were keen on Hayley's voice. Her album is slowly climbing in the US classical chart.
I hope you'll visit us frequently here on the forum, Ani...I look forward to reading your posts!

Hello Ani, and welcome to the Forum!  I'm pleased you enjoyed Hayley's performance at Wembley, because I thought she was brilliant there too. I don't know if we saw the same concert because there were two, but I was there on 12th April. Appearing with Il Divo has certainly helped to raise Hayley's profile all over the world, but I expect she's looking forward to singing in her own concerts again now.  Thank you for joining in our discussions, and I hope you will continue to post regularly. I also hope to meet you at one of Hayley's own concerts soon.  Good luck with your own singing too! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBest Wishes, Richard  |

Hello again everybody! Il Divo's fans are still talking about Hayley on their forum. Here is a new little post from the 'Off Topic' board in a thread titled "Currently listening to:" Mandy (Cetacean) wrote:- Wow!!!

First off, I'm a little late but welcome to Ani! I think this post is inappropiately titled! From all the examples Richard has given us from the ID forum it would appear the words will never end! Now how about that duet with ID. Do you think it might happen? Oh and sorry Richard I'm no mathmatician I have a hard enough time putting two and two together sometimes.   <3 Caite |

I am new to this forum and would just like to add my thoughts on Hayley and her performance on the Il Divo concert. I am a New Zealander (MaorI) living in Stavanger, Norway. I attended the concert in Oslo. I have to say, it gave me immense pleasure to tell my four travelling companions that Hayley was a NZ'er. Unfortunately, until that concert, I had never heard her sing. She absolutely blew me away. At the tender age of 18 to have such a beautiful voice, one that is so crystal clear is mind boggling. It is obvious her angelic voice comes from her Irish/Welsh roots. I thoroughly enjoyed her performance. Can you imagine how stupid I felt when Hayley sang Pokarekare Ana and I burst into tears. My friends were stunned but it was so beautiful. To hear a song sung in ones own language knowing that one is so far (and I mean far) from home and missing family was just heart wrenching. But I thank Hayley for such a beautiful rendition. I can only say that she brought home much closer. I got back to my hotel and called home to have a bit of a cry and to rave about this beautiful young girl who I had just heard. Hayley, congratulations and I know I don't have to wish you the best for your future career. You've got it sewn up. I can only wish you continued good health in your pursuits. I and my friends for one were in our seats waiting in anticipation for Hayley to come on. I must say that I totally agree with my fellow ID forum members about the total lack of respect and class people displayed while Hayley was performing. In Norway it really suprised me because I have been to many performances of my three children who play with their school band and junior orchestra and the doors are locked if the performance is about to begin. Anyway, my heartfelt apologies for this total lack of courtesy. I am going to two ID concerts at Blickling Hall and Kedleston July 22nd and 23rd and to now have it confirmed that Hayley is also on the show is a definite bonus. I look forward to seeing and hearing her again. :cake: Tickets courtesy of my lovely husband and my kids are buying me a CD for my birthday June 7th. Guess which one it will be. I am also going to see Bryan Adams and Westlife. I looked at the dates for Hayleys concerts especially the Welsh one. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend but I will keep an eye out for future dates with Hayley. An once again Hayley, thank you so much for bringing home closer to me. I am so looking forward to hearing you again in the UK.

Oh my goodness, how did I miss Ani? Great to see you in here, Tammy, I'd better get round to joining your forum when I get a minute! And as you can see, you are not the only lady in the thread (thanks Caite for prompting me with your post about Ani - and checkout the subtle change I've just made to the thread title! ). For the benefit of everyone, Tammy (Ani) is an Il Divo Diva and runs an unoffficial Il Divo website similar to HWI - and I'm going to give it a plug, especially as it's got some of my photos on there! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifIt's www.ildivofanclub.com and there's a forum, too! Good luck with the site Tammy, I hope you soon get that official recognition you are seeking. Feel free to post in here as often as you like, and including Il Divo posts which are are fine, too! Cheers, Dave |

Hi scudlover and a very warm welcome to the forum. I feel it is an honour for us to welcome our first Maori member, even if you are in Norway!
I am delighted that you enjoyed seeing Hayley but I can assure you, you are not the first person to me moved to tears and I know you won't be the last.
I hope you enjoy visiting this forum and I look forward to your future posts.
Best wishes from the UK!
Roger

The event to which Cissou refers is at Kedleston Hall (Derbyshire) on 23rd July. I am not a member of the Il Divo forum so it might be nice if someone who is could relay the fact that Hayley is scheduled to appear there.... At Kedleston, not on the Il Divo Forum!  Roger |
