Hi Grant,
Well, Hayley is difficult to classify for sure. There are poor singers, average singers, good singers, excellent singers, brilliant singers and then there is Hayley! Has any other singer ever had such intensity, spirituality and spectacular beauty in their voice, then simply called themselves a "singer". In a world so full of hype, I doubt it.
I have already heard enough to know that this album will be another turn of the screw, yet another leap forward for Hayley. I'm sure it will fully deserve the success I predicted for it, and I hope and pray that will be achieved. She absolutely deserves it!
Martin

Hi Graeme,
I love the stills, thanks for posting them. Lovely to see her so happy and healthy. Such a transformation from the way she was after the terrible and I'm sure traumatic events of November. Let's hope and pray that her health transfusion can carry her through her hectic schedule and the rest of the English winter.
God Bless you Hayley. You bring such joy into the lives of so many people.
Martin

I would like to add one word to this decription however: " Singer Extraordinaire" Hi Martin I intended to comment on that. Anybody can call themself a 'singer' but Hayley could hardly call herself 'Singer Extraordinaire' or 'World Class Singer', I guess that's up to us! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBest wishes Grant Methinks the 'Singer' might prefer to lose the labels? Hayley does as Hayley is. Paddy |

Thanks for posting this.  I really enjoyed hearing clips of songs from her new Japanese Album. Her interview was great too. I like that she simply calls herself a singer. <3 Caitlin |

Here is our "singer" singing 'Tsubomi' ("a rosebud") .....see Maya's quote below.  Oh, the song she is singing in the video is the first song in the CD. It is called " Tsubomi " meaning “a bud” in English. It sounds better than original song sang in Japanese. May be I am a bit biased but it sure sounds great to me and I find another nice side of the song. Best wishes. Maya We're all biassed too Maya.  This explains the rosebud Hayley is holding in pic below i71.photobucket.com/albums/i145/graemar/screenshotcomp1-800w.jpgGraeme

I found a video on Youtube of the original song "tsubomi" sung by kobukuro. uk.youtube.com/watch?feature=related&v=Kz8NMMI61Z0I love the song and the video is simply WONDERFUL! Best wishes, Paulo Correia |

Great find Paolo, That's a song choice I can't wait hearing Hayley sing from start to finish. I thought the bilingual text was brilliant too !!!! Graeme PS Not sure "rosebud" fits anymore but that's not my problem. |

Hayley does not need labels, she is what she is. Sons long to be sung by her to a new level of beauty. She says she is just a singer, but to me, she is THE singer. No other singer or musician has captured my interest like her since I ever began to linten to music, just 30 years ago. |

Hi Dave, I am on 'catch up' and have just got to see the video from your link. Thanks.........  It is good to see Hayley looking so well. She will however need to be wearing something rather 'warmer' on her return to G.B ! Best Wishes, Graham |

I have been listening to music for more than twice as long as you, yet Hayley is the first for me in so many ways. She is the first singer to reduce me to tears in 10 seconds on first hearing her voice, and the only one I have ever hung around outside stage doors to meet. I have now seen her perform twice as many times as any other singer, and I still want to see her again and again, even though she will probably sing most of the same songs. I own more records by Hayley than by any other artist. And it is hard to listen to anyone else these days, although I do try. Nearly all other singers are out of tune for one thing. But before I heard Hayley, I hadn't noticed! Martin |

Hi Martin,
You and I are soul brothers. Every thing you said applies to me also. Hayley has a special magic that I have never witnessed in my 70 years on this planet. I will be traveling to Britain in Feb. That will make the fifth trip to the U K and Ireland I have made since Nov. 2007 to see Hayley sing.

I'm very clueless about these video player things, and wish I could help. All I can suggest is to download an updated version of Windows Media Player. That site to which that link points to is very slow at the moment. Here is the link again: www.stuff.co.nz/videoplayer/138162a21415.htmlBest wishes, Joe |

I'm very clueless about these video player things, and wish I could help. All I can suggest is to download an updated version of Windows Media Player. I have the latest version, but I re-installed just to be sure. Didn't help.  I just get this message that says I need a missing plugin. When I try to download it, it tells me there is no such plugin. 
EDIT: Omg, yes, I don't know what I did to make it work, but I finally got it! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |
