Thanks Colin & Hi, That CHCH performance was my 1st since 2008 so I wallowed in it. It was no trouble to sit my camera in my lap & casually choose shots. I tried to prevent overexposure by zooming right up to Hayley,holding the exposure setting & backing off to the frame I wanted. There were some failures but also some great successes !! Still shots are easier than videos...10/10 to Jillian for her efforts. Graeme...back in Australia again. PS above does not mean I wasn't listening ....I was all attention as Hayley was 100% brilliant. Hi Graeme! I actually found videos easier than photos!! :rollin We make a good pair! The Australian contingent did a good job at the Christchurch concert! Your photos are superb! I really hope it won't be too long until we get to do this again! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif Cheers, Jillian

OH MY GOODNESS!!! THANK YOU JILLIAN! By far MY FAVOURITE performance! Such a POWER-packed performance!!! So perfect!!! I'd now DIE for a Live from New zealand DVD!, Ur best video too!!! Haven't seen ANY fan shot video this perfect! The Zooming, panning, my goodness, you are amazing, this video made my day! You should video response this to the old Wuthering Heights video! So that people can see how all their criticism does not apply for THIS performance! And she starts walking at 0:59 XD I mean that's what I asked earlier, I love it when she does that! Now let me be specific, I mean this is just so awesome, that I need to point out some subtle stuff, at 1:52, honestly....THAT WAS AMAZING, the Head shake thing, when she says "Your", so powerful XD...And the whole Ooooh let me grab it was STUNNING! Both times, and the Second oooooh was....mind blowing XD And the small move at 2:16 in perfect unison with the music (I can't think of any other better step XD)....JUST PERFECT! And now for my most favourite bit! AT 2:25, So cold, let "ME-HE-IN" That clear split up of those notes were amazing, with hayley's expression, I mean I could go on about this, watching this again and again makes me confirm that EVERY second of the performance is perfect and that Hayley did everything VERY perfectly, and everything she did was completely NEEDED! I need this to be POPULAR! all those people who posted negatively on the old video have to see this! EDIT: at 0:18, I hated you, loved you too, THAT EXPRESSION, priceless! Never expected to Hayley to do it, wow just wow XD Hi Simba! Thanks for your kind words about the video! It was a fabulous performance of Wuthering Heights, wasn't it? So glad by some fluke that I managed to get it on video like that. I'm sure all the members who have watched those videos can now understand how inexplicable any suggestion was that the concert wasn't anything but amazing. Cheers, Jillian

Wuthering Heights was probably the best recent performance as far as vocals and overall performance. But in the "It's me, I'm Cathy, and I'm home" parts, she a little rushed. Well, more like she was singing it faster than normal, and made it sound kind of run together. I think it usually has the same amount of space in between words, but the fact that she sang it faster enhanced the run together effect. Otherwise, it was great! Chase is really good, he sounds very close to Josh. At the end of each phrase, he sometimes cut the notes too short compared to Josh (and Josh helped write the music!), but otherwise very good. A little more operatic than Josh, but since he has a pleasant tone, it doesn't make a difference. I normally don't go for male operatic voices except for Andrea Bocelli. Some male opera singers are too harsh, or don't have very pleasant voices. I think I'll post his videos on the Josh forum! I already posted the Vivo Per Lei one in the Hayley forum, but there's also a thread about "New Artists and Musicians" or something, and I can post these videos there. Another opportunity to post something Hayley-related, too! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Never expected to Hayley to do it, wow just wow XD Hi Simba This is quite possibly the most enthusiastic post I have ever read online!! You convinced me to grab my (expensive) headphones, and watch Jillian's vid in HD. Of course, I couldn't agree more that it was an awesome performance. If by chance you have not seen Hayley live yet, I think you are in for a real mind-blowing experience mate! Cheers, Jono On a side note, can someone please remind me the name of the opera song that Chase sang at the concerts?

Lol thanks Jono and Graeme XD....And Graeme AMAZING pics! Loved all of it.
And Jono: I haven't seen Hayley live yet! I'm dying for that mind blowing experience, which I'm sure I cannot even imagine the measure XD....It's like my life-time dream thing, to go to her concert, meet her personally, tell her how amazing she is and everything that I feel at that moment and get my self an autograph XD....the closest she would come to India would be Taiwan, so when I'm older, I'd definitely catch on of those concerts XD....

Great pictures Graeme, thank you.
That last one in the "Milan" dress particular is superb. She just looks so classy in that dress.
And thanks too for the new videos Jillian. Stunning performance of Wuthering Heights - I've seen her end concerts like that quite a few times now, and I always love it.
