No, that is not the correct answer. Try again. |

Keep in mind her actual "career" didn't take hold until she released "Pure" -- so the first three releases were more during her "hobby" phase as a schoolgirl in Christchurch and don't really count. Neither do the various remakes of songs with different instrumentation. I suspect the right answer will surprise you. |

Hi Steve, I expect it will if the rules keep changing i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifHow long would it take to listen to every song Hayley has recorded since the beginning of her career?You are now saying only from Pure onward. I take the beginning to be from when she started ! Graham |

I think it is very impressive that Decca signed a completely unknown novice to a multi-record multi million dollar contract. |

Graham, if we go back that far it would be like saying a doctor's career begins in High School since that's when the path starts.
A career is a life's work, and it begins after the training stages are accomplished. Hayley's main career didn't exist until her proper learning experiences were in place -- which is exactly what her early, locally-produced-on-a-shoestring-budget CDs amounted to.
So, per my sneaky (but not altogether unreasonable) rules, the right answer is b. This allows for all her Decca tracks, soundtracks and collaboration tracks performed as a full-fledged professional.

[/quote] Hi All, All i have to say on this is what a  cheek but typical of something you would say Steve MC .saying before Pure did not count her career started as soon as she started earning from her singing. Her training was all the shows and talent quests she was in.. re the argument about the doctor he is training . hes not curing people as soon as Hayley signed her first contract she began her professional career. And it was in New Zealand. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBelinda. |

I don't agree. Those three "budget" CD's were Hayley's career. As well as her talent quests, musicals, choruses, etc. Millions of dollars were based on the strength of the three pre-Decca CD's. And please, I hope Thursday's question of the day is better! |

Steve, you can't just make arbitrary decisions (rules) like that ! You might as well say Hayley's career only really started when she was old enough to be independent and buy her first house (flat) in London i.e Last Autumn i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif So the answer to the question is zero ! So NO it was not 'reasonable'.   Graham |

Okay, here's today's new question:
Much of Hayley's soundtrack work was for films. programmes and video games that prominently feature water, such as "Flood", "Merchant of Venice", "Loralei", "The New World", "Lilo & Stich 2", "Endless Ocean", etc.
Which are the only two that don't involve water?

Heh, that question was prolly too hard. The answer is "Jekyll" and "Mulan II".
The next question of the day is...
What does your forum screen name spell out about your appreciation of Hayley?
For example:
"grant" = greatly respects a New Zealand talent
"Dave" = Dedicated audio/video expert
"Stephany" = Smartly tracking every publication Hayley appears in, yes!
