Wow, thank you for finding that Libby, I'm also liking his voice more and more with each (clip of ) song I like! They mentioned his album on Daybreak this morning and the presenter said he didn't expect it to do very well at all- in fact he expects it to 'crash and burn,' or at least it'll be interesting to see if it doesn't...I admit he hasn't kept a very high profile since he won Britain's got Talent, not as much as some of the other contestants have...but I expect he's been busy with recording this CD!...Good that Daybreak are at least giving him some publicity now! but I think it'll do well... I hope so, at least for the duet with Hayley! I don't expect the presenter was banking on many Hayley fans (probably hasn't heard of her himself) buying it! best wishes Sing  |

Going by youtube, he has a lot of American fans, too. He even mentioned them in an interview a while back, when they asked him about performing on AGT. Of course he said he'd love to, and I hope he does. I think his upcoming performance at the Royal Variety thing should help him a bit. |

Here's an exclusive look at his With or Without You music video from the daily mail's website ...I don't know if everyone will be able to see it  ...also, it's a pity the article doesn't mention Hayley either- it is a very brief article though!  Hopefully at least one interview he does will mention 'The Prayer'! best wishes Sing |

Dunno about that, but it isn't Jai for sure - and it's Jai who is credited!

HUh.... Isn't this strange......what would be the reason, to have another version of The Prayer on this album  ? I'm 100 % sure ,i heard Hayley singing the duet, a couple of days ago on Amazon, but now the've changed it. What a disappointment for those who've ordered the album !!! Joyce |

I'd send it back and demand a refund, and complain that it was sold under false pretences.
Of course, it could be a legal issue between Simon Cowell and Decca.
Once again my policy of waiting for the release of UK albums and buying in a supermarket had paid off. I won't need to buy this one now.

Hi everyone,
This is a bit odd. One would have thought that all the licensing and bits and bobs would have been worked out before all the promotion involving Hayley's contribution took place?
Then again, I suppose these things can happen at the last minute -- probably largely a record company move, I'd imagine.

Umm, I just listened to that track, and it's definitely not Hayley!!! I am sooooo disappointed!! How could they even think of using somebody else?? It's just not fair!! And Jai really likes her, too! He had such nice things to say about her. I wish there was someone to complain to about this. Could ask Jai (like Jillian did) on Twitter, but I doubt he'll respond. No, Martin, they don't say it's Hayley anywhere on Amazon anymore. Actually, it doesn't even say who it is. Despite my disappointment, I don't regret ordering the album. I do like Jai himself now, too. But that was what I was most looking forward to. Finally, I thought we'd have a Prayer duet recording by Hayley, and now it's been ruined. |

Hi everyone,
A twitter user has posted that she's listening to Hayley and Jai sing the duet on the album. I asked her about it and she insists that it's Hayley.
But I had a listen to the samples on UK Itunes and it certainly isn't. Perhaps there's some confusion about it? The female vocalist they have on the track is nowhere near as good as Hayley is...
Cheers,
Jillian

This is very disappointing I hope there is a Hayley recording! |
