Taiwan Promo November 2011

[Jillian]

Can't wait to watch these videos! Of all the time for the internet to die! Nooooo!! ha ha ha

Technician coming to look at it tomorrow. Apparently there's a fault in the line. :/

The promo trip seems to be going fantastically. Hayley seems to be cramming so much in!

Cheers,
Jillian

Here's another one from Frank.

It was taken at the same location as the one with the schoolchildren. Whispers in a Dream.

Note that this was probably just before the Moon Represents My Heart, since she had not yet donned the costume like the ones the kids were wearing.

Thanks to Frank for uploading this to YouTube

I liked this video as it also showed Tim Evans playing the piano.

Absolutely delightful video of Hayley singing with the children.

Also I loved 'Whispers', Hayley and Tim were magic! The echo early on in that video was dynamic!

What a rewarding visit to Taiwain this is for Hayley!

[Libby]

I would really love to know what the kids are saying about Hayley in that one video in Jillian's post! Can anybody translate, please?

Hello folks!

Frank has also uploaded a better video of 'The Moon Represents My Heart' with the children:

Agree completely. She's had a good tour and I hope her NZ tour goes just as well.

Hello folks!

This video appears to be a compilation of Hayley highlights in Taichung. It's a bit disjointed but worth a look:

Such amazing, moving performances! I particularly loved the performance with the kids, perfect!

[Martin]

Thanks for all the video links. I have just spent a memorable time watching them at work!

I always think that Hayley's voice is particularly suited to singing in East Asian languages whether it is Japanese or, in this case, Taiwanese.

Entirely agree, Martin. She sounds instinctively Japanese when she is singing and I am sure that is why she is so much appreciated over there. She is not just delivering music to their ears but the fact she is a Westerner (and as I understand superb in her language rendition) but they recognise the effort she must put in to getting things right. That effort they appreciate and respect her for it.
