Thanks for the screen caps. The last few are photo quality! I don't think it's a new track. At least the clip sounds exactly like the Pure recording. It's too bad if they don't use a new recording. I was thinking that was one of the new tracks Hayley did last week, but now I'm not so sure. On closer inspection, the ring is actually on her middle finger.

Hello Dave!
Thanks very much for recording the performance, and uploading it to our YouTube channel. I also appreciated seeing the screen captures!
Hayley's 'Amazing Grace' was wonderful...and ending the song with the Japanese lyrics was very emotional. I got the feeling that, as Hayley sang them, she had the people of Japan in her thoughts.
Thanks again Dave, Joe

Thanks Hayley for singing 'Amazing Grace' with your perfect Japanese. This is a very heart warming performance for us Japanese. This has to be broadcast in Japan too.
Thanks also Dave for your beautiful recording and the upload.
Best wishes. Maya

Thanks for the video, Dave! Hayley gave a wonderful performance of 'Amazing Grace', and I particularly liked the verse in Japanese. Here's the photo of Hayley backstage: twitpic.com/4keiqwRichard

Thanks Dave. Was working this afternoon, so missed the show. Just enjoyes watching it now thanks to you. Did she do an interview as well, or just the song? Martin D Hi Martin Sadly there was no interview. Mr Titmarsh also said Hayley's name incorrectly, emphasising "rarr".He has a holiday home about 7 miles from me, so will speak to him about it, if I see him! Cheers Tony

Yes, Titchmarsh got my goat as well when he said at the end: "Wow ! What a show ! Laila Rouass and Katie Waissel !" It seemed like the whole programme was designed to showcase Katie Waissel. Hayley was on early, almost like a warm-up act (AS IF!!!!). The screaming audience seemed to be borrowed from the X-factor studio and were clearly there for only one singer. AT described himself as one of the "Waissel Warriors !" Indeed Mr T's enthusiasm for Ms Waissel was hard to understand since I distinctly remember him saying in a programme last year that she couldn't sing !! Still, when did that ever stop anyone having a pop career ?! Apart from the first 10 minutes, the rest of the show merely served to remind me why I don't watch Titchmarsh.

Hello Jeff and everyone! I wouldn't know, as although I recorded the entire show, when I saw who was to be on it afterwards, I only watched up to the end of Hayley's appearance! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBy the way, I have posted the video and the best 6 of the screen captures as a permanent news item on the HWI website, and it can be found here: www.hayley-westenra-international.com/content/hayley-sings-special-amazing-grace-live-itvIncidentally, the quality of the full length screen shots is lower because they are enlargements cropped out of the original video, to make sure those who are into fashion can see the whole dress and shoes better. Cheers, Dave

I didn't get to see Tichmarsh show, so thanks for the Hayley video Dave and the work that goes in to uploading, Twice, how frustrating .
I grew kind of fond of Katie Waissell during the X Factor.
she was certainly more "artist" than some of the simply "ambitious for fame" performers that were featured on that degrading show.
I do hope she finds her place in the music world, She does have something special, I think she is just having difficulty expressing it within the confines of the music "business / Industry" as it tries to make her into a "Market product". I wish her all the luck in the world for the future.

Hi everyone, at the very beginning of the show when they announced Hayley would be singing they showed a video of her. It looked like it may have been shot in Rome. She was wearing a blue dress! Anyone else see this?

Anyone else see this? Thanks for mentioning this. I caught a glimpse of it during the show's intro, but my back was turned and assumed it was just a couple of seconds. Missed it on my HD recording on the PC but I'll have a look at my other recording this evening, to see what's what. Have to go out now though! Cheers, Dave

Anyone else see this? If Dave is unable to locate it then it can be seen on ITV Player here: www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=231168 The clip in Rome is at the start and "Amazing Grace" almost 7 mins into the recording.

Yes, I saw the clips in the intro as Sue recorded it. There were a couple of very brief shots, no more than a couple of seconds, one in a blue dress that appeard to be outdoors, with a very blue background, perhaps sea. The other was a studio shot.
As for Katie, I don't rate her as a singer either - I thought she deserved to leave X Factor earlier than she did. The pity is, there was another singer on the show who CAN sing - Jane Macdonald - (I once heard her hold a note on full power for 20 seconds - what a pair of lungs). I would rather have heard her than Katie.
I suppose there had to be a decent length gap between Hayley and Katie or Katie's inability to sing in tune would have been even more obvious than it was.

Only people in the UK can view the video, Martin. I want to see the blue dress!! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifShe did wear blue for Odyssey, and the shots for that album were by water... Is there a sea near Rome? I'm not very knowledgeable of Italian geography.

The brief shots at the beginning of the show were of Hayley against a background of a city, presumably Rome.
