Admittedly, I didn't vote for Wuthering Heights either but I want to say I absolutely love it to bits. It is probably my second favourite from Pure (after Pokarekare Ana).
Emmett has suggested that the politics over WH not being released as a single may have put people off the song. I think that is unlikely as very few of Hayley's fans would be aware that it was ever intended to be released as a single. Or did you just mean the ten of us who have voted here so far, Emmett?
As for the Japanese singles, I have got 'Amazing Grace' and 'Wiegenlied'. If anyone can point me in the right direction to enable me to buy Wuthering Heights I shall be forever grateful.
Thanks,
Roger.... whose heights have been known to wuther but don't tell anyone;)

I absolutely LOVE Dark Waltz.. but Pokarekare Ana introduced me to the magic of Hayley's voice and I can't forget that. But please please please don't ever ask me to choose which is the best version!  Now, I want to choose some more - but it won't let me!!!!  i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

"My Heart & I" is definitely my fav. Too bad it wasn't on the US version of Pure. "Dark Waltz" and "Who Painted the Moon Black" and "Pokarekare Ana" are all tops for me!

Emmett has suggested that the politics over WH not being released as a single may have put people off the song. I think that is unlikely as very few of Hayley's fans would be aware that it was ever intended to be released as a single. Hello Roger! I believe many Hayley fans would have seen her with Frank Skinner, either on TV or on the HWI main site, when she said "Wuthering Heights" would be released as a single in March 2004. I believe the problem was that Kate Bush was going to make a come-back, so she objected to the video track. The sad thing is, Kate Bush doesn't seem to have come back yet, but who cares?  May your heights continue to wuther, but beware of Sweeney Todd! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBye for now, Richard  |

Hi Richard,
I just got to see that Frank Skinner interview last week.
I cant believe some of the things he was saying to Hayley, but I suppose we know what Frank Skinner is like. I think it was a mistake picking that particular show but he does get high ratings.
Maybe in the lead up to the release of 'Odyssey', I hope there will be some tv appearances. (with some hosts who actually have an interest in their guests)
Regarding 'Wuthering Heights' I think that would have done well in the charts, seeing how popular it is. It probably would have helped Kate Bush's career.
Emmett

Hello again Emmett! I thought Hayley did a brilliant job in keeping Frank Skinner under control, and she came over as very mature while Frank was being rather childish! I didn't think much of his singing at the end! To get back on topic, I was disappointed "Wuthering Heights" was never released as a single, because it was going to be a different recording of the vocal from that used on "Pure". I remember it was a very popular track when "Pure" was in the pop charts, but nobody has yet voted for it in this poll. It's interesting to see how people's opinions change with time!  Bye for now, Richard |

Hi Kathleen, Thanks for the update. Its going up and up, it just shows what happens when something rare comes up. But at $20.50 for a single, I think that is a bit too much. You can purchase the same single from Cdjapan.co.jp for $15.37 not including shipping though:- www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UCCL-1080Emmett |

As you have seen, I was outbid. I set my limit and, for one, I will stick to it so I will not be submitting an increased bid. I will take a look at the site Emmett suggested - thanks.  Roger |
