Hello Michal!

You've done a great job with the poll. I've quoted your last post at the top of your opening post to make voting easier for everybody.

It's nice that you allowed us 4 choices; already I had a hard time narrowing it down! Thanks for the poll.

LOL, Libby, yes, how many times have we thought, wish there was a 4th choice... And I think in this poll it was specially needed, cause I am sure most of us wish to vote every option in this... Really hard, lol...

And, you are all welcome, it is all of you who made it so interesting, I discovered at least a couple of new great performances I've never seen before. I was quite surprised that it wasn't done before.

The poll has been opened for 2 weeks now (and only 15 people voted, come on, vote! I am sure there are more people who have their favorite performances, XD), so I guess we can comment our choices without influencing that much future voters. So, let me start:
Lascia ch'io pianga - Well, even when having the handicap of being a DVD recording, I just had to choose it. It is where I fell in love with that voice and that artist, the reason why I am here, everytime I hear it, it totally blows me away!
Prrayer at Belfast: That's such a great song and that performance is so sweet and intimate... That's Hayley!
O Holy Night - Well... I think this song has become a myth between us, all the reports from the Winter Magic tour agree on highlighting Hayley's performances as the greatest ever, and I can't do anything else but agree. So powerful, so emotive, and with the orchestra it becomes even more elevated.
Ave Maria (Caccini) Liverpool - I honestly think this is the most impressive and beautiful performance by Hayley I've ever seen. What a change from the other recordings I've heard of this song by her! She makes such a difficult things in that performance and she makes it with the heart, so gracefully that it becomes incredibly thrilling.

Hi Michal

Gosh! That was hard work!! But I did get rather carried away reminding myself what a wonderfully versatile girl our Hayley is. Some very different but always stunning performances.

My votes are in!

Great work Michal!

I haven't seen all those live performances, but thank you Michal for the links. I'll have a look.

But I remember seeing the performance from the 'Live From NZ' DVD, Hayley and Sophie performing "Across the Universe of Time". After seeing the beautiful performance, it left me humming the song the entire day!
So maybe this is one of my favorites.

And I also liked the video where Hayley and Andrea Bocelli sung "Vivo Per Lei" live. That was a truly mesmerizing performance, along with the Ice Skaters skating.
