Dancing with the stars, NZ, April 24th 07

[Belinda]

Last week at the end of the show they had someone singing and just the studio dancers dancing not the contestants.
My guess is that it wont be a song from the UK version of Treasure.
and we dont have that many to choose from on the NZ.
i don't think it will be summer fly but i hope she sings that somewhere while shes here i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Thanks for the scan, Dori. I would love her to sing something from her latest album.
Particularly "Sonny", "Summer Fly" or "Let me lie".
That said, if I could choose, that would be something completely different (who said "The Mummer's Dance ? )

Hi Dori,
Thanks for the find.
I'll just post the article here just in case it dissapears :

Hayley Westenra performs on DWTS!

It was announced over the weekend that our talented national treasure, Hayley Westenra will make a special guest performance on Tuesday night.

The 20-year-old has achieved combined sales of over three million albums around the world, and her recent hit 'Treasure' (from the new album 'Odyssey') reached the top of the charts in NZ. The album has even gone Platinum after three weeks!

Be watching at the usual time of 8:30pm to catch her exclusive performance of 'The Water is Wide', and to watch the remaining seven couples battle it out again on the dance floor.

Last week it was announced that lovely April Ieremia and her partner Csaba hadn't amounted the votes from both the judges or the public, to stay in the spotlight.

Judge Brendon Cole exclaimed, "New Zealand, we have a competition on our hands!" So the question remains, who will be eliminated this week in the talented pool of partners left?

To keep you favourite star in the competition (assuming you can choose one), get voting!

Don't forget to check out our detailed weekly recaps, and download video to relive the couple's performances - and judge for your self!

Her recent hit 'Treasure' (from the new album 'Odyssey') reached the top of the charts in NZ.

Where did they get that info ?!
I really like "The Water is Wide" but I would have prefered her to sing something newer from "Treasure".

[Dori]

I think they mean from the UK Odyssey, as that is what it was originally recorded for. I think the reason why they chose The Water is Wide is because it is featured especially for the NZ version.

Dori

[Stephany]

Oh, right, thanks Dori.
I guess that "The Water is Wide" is a good song to introduce people to Hayley's music.

[Richard]

Hello Dori and Stephany!

Yes they do seem to have got their facts twisted there. What they really mean is 'The Water Is Wide' is from the New Zealand version of her new hit album 'Treasure' , which went platinum after three weeks, but the track was initially released on the UK version of 'Odyssey'. This is another fine example of the confusion caused by Universal's policy of releasing so many different versions of each album!

Best Wishes,

Richard

Hello everyone,
I just watched the magnificent performance of The Water is Wide by Hayley at the end of the show. It was absolutely magnificent, but I have to say Hayley looked a little unwell. Tired perhaps?? Who wouldn't be with that hectic schedule!!! Nevertheless, it was simply beautiful. She was wearing my favorite dress of hers: the green dress she wore the to Cadagon Hall concert in February. It looked like she was flowing in clouds! She really captures the atmosphere of her perormance, which was perfect for the spirit of The Water is Wide.
She is absolutely beautiful, and I keep looking forward to her perfmances and meeting her this Saturday at the signing!!!

I think she must be tired.Singing at 10pm and then she has to get up at 4am tomorrow for ANZAC day. Dori that was my favourite dress as well and I love that song.
