Oh, I wish next Wednesday would hurry up and get here! Besides this thing, it'll be my day off after working 7 days in a row, and also, it'll be exactly 1 year till the first Hobbit movie comes out!  |

I like their underlying caption. "Classical singer Hayley Westenra added some class to the evening." Peter S. Might be a good idea for Ross to send a copy to David Sell of The Press Christchurch !! Graeme  I don't think Mr Sell knows what class is lol. |

Hi Jillian Thanks for the "express" photos. I wonder why the man next to Rolando has his mouth taped??  Martin The taped man is from New Zealand and is a busker famous for taping his mouth shut so he cannot talk during his comedy act. He is very funny. He married a British busker he met in Christchurch and she could sing opera songs and does burlesque. |

And no mention of Hayley. That is very disappointing. Peter S. |

Hi Peter, Well I don't mind that., as long as they show Hayley's duet (and hopefully the National Anthem which we think she also did). I can't imagine that they'd leave out Rolando Villazon and Hayley's duet and include all the others listed. We shall find out in a few hours time when I shall also record it (someone else please do too, in case of power cuts!). Hayley and Rolando are credited here: www.eabf.org.uk/?content=71&article_id=69Cheers, Dave |

So far so good. Hayley opened the show by being chosen to sing the National Anthem. What a performance, what an honour. Furthermore, there was a close up of Princess Anne thanking Hayley. Martin |

Hi Peter Martin and everyone, You can now watch and listen to Hayley singing the National Anthem as Princess Anne looks on here, on our Youtube channel. Hayley Westenra: God Save The Queen (HD)Didn't she do well! The broadcast will continue for another hour so I hope for more Hayley later on. Although, somewhat worryingly, all the singers so far seem to be being limited to one performance each...  Cheers, Dave |

Well, Dave, how many performances did Rolando do? If the duet is his only one, then you'd think they would show it. Jai retweeted Rolando's tweet to tune in to see him on the show, so he at least seems to think they're showing him. Hopefully that means Hayley, too.  I'm guessing you know by now. |

Cheers, Dave Thank you for that fabulous video, Dave! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif Hayley's performance was perfect and it was very gracious of Princess Anne to acknowledge Hayley at the end. Beautiful black Amanda Wakeley Gown! Cheers, Jillian |

Hi Libby, No, i don't, yet! Many thanks for the reassurance though. But I have to say - and this is off topic - Nicole Scherzinger of all people gave a stunning performance as Christine in Phantom of the Opera just now. Possibly sung to her own pre-recorded track but either way, it was stunning! EDIT YES! They just said Hayley and Rolando will be on soon - and we are now in among the biggest stars of the evening! Cheers, Dave |
