Got any predictions for the year ahead? By all mean share them here! I'll get us started:
1. Hayley will record duets with Justin Beiber, Josh Groban, Michael Buble and Tony Bennett.
2. A video of Hayley busking a hip-hop version of "Pokarekare Ana" in front of Buckingham Palace will go viral on YouTube and lead to spectacular publicity for her.
3. Ennio and Hayley's "Paradiso" will win several prestigious awards in Europe and Asia.
4. Hayley will dye her hair auburn-red and keep it that way for a good six months.
5. The HWI Forum will undergo a facelift, with many brand-new categories created and personalised color schemes made available to forum members with more than 4000 posts.
6. "Brand Hayley" will launch a line of frangrances, cosmetics and casual wear.
7. Josh Groban will become a regular contributor to the HWI Forum, but use a pseudonym to avoid repercussions.
8. In a surprising career twist, Hayley will turn full-time actress in early June, appearing in artistic, independent films that don't require singing.
9. Hayley will decide that acting isn't really for her and quit the film business in early July.
10. Hayley will get engaged to Arnaud atop the Eiffel Tower during the month of May but the wedding will be in November atop the Great Wall of China.
Those are my predictions, folks! Now please add yours.

All very plausible and possible  Hayley does have the eye colour and skin complexion for red hair, good Irish red hair is of course the best variety available A bit like Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Florence. On the post count, Should OMGs and the occasional smiley with one word really count as a post ? You mean Josh is not already a contributor ? a pseudonym to avoid repercussions. How about NOT THE DRUMMER MAN |

I really think a duet with Tony Bennet would happen XD...those were very good predictions steve! Amazing Oh, yeah, Tony Bennett was at the RVP. He probably heard her sing!!! But then, so has Josh Groban, and nothing's happened on that front, either.  Umm, the Justin Bieber one is the least likely, and the least ideal. That would be insulting, in my view. Hayley is way out of his league, just saying, plus wrong style. The Pokarekare Ana one is kind of funny!  I wouldn't recommend the HWI forum to Josh. There are too many anti-Josh people here. If Hayley acts, she needs to sing, too. That's her main "selling point". It would be a waste of her time not to sing. Which would explain the July thing, I guess. |

My predictions : Following a successful UK Paradiso tour, Hayley will tour Europe, and possibly Japan, as well. Hayley will come back to the US like she said (but she said if "all goes well"; we don't know if all went well or not, do we?) And hopefully the MTC peformance will happen, too. Hayley will record vocals for a certain blockbuster film due for release Dec. 14, 2012 (hint: the main star is a hobbit i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif). It may or may not be the theme song... yet. Her voice is perfect for background, ethereal vocals like Enya's or Renee Fleming's. There is a 2nd movie, so if nothing happens this year, it may happen next. Hayley will be nominated for and win a CBA for album of the year, for Paradiso (what else!). She will also perform on stage at the awards show, with Ennio Morricone's orchestra, with Ennio himself conducting. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifDuring Hayley's Paradiso tour (either the UK or European one), a Live DVD special will be filmed. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifHayley will begin work on her next album, and many of her own, original songs. During her next trip to Taiwan, talks will begin on a special Taiwanese album. Hayley will become engaged (no pressure, Arnaud!), but will not actually get married this year. Weddings take planning you know, especially when you have other things going on, too! |

I wonder what Hayley has planned for 2012 after the Uk Tour? I am quite surprised that London doesn't have show in the Tour? I wonder if that's for any particular reason?

Hi Jillian I was initially surprised too that London was not featured but on reflection Hayley has had very few concerts in the last three years in the capital. The exceptions being at the Barbican (Christmas concerts only), Fairfield Hall in Croydon and in Twickenham both of which are someway out of London. Maybe Bandana feels that better audience numbers are to be got outside London. Cheers Martin |

Cheers Martin Hi Martin and Jillian and all, Probably, the venue costs are much lower outside London too, and any extra ticket income may not make up the difference (or may even be less, if venues can't be filled). Cheers, Dave |

Oh come on Dave, that is so negative. Hayley's shows usually sell out. I hope they aren't basing it on that last Barbican concert where there were empty seats becuse the weather prevented a lot of people from getting there!
Enough people know about Hayley now to ensure she will attract a good audience.
