David Foster in Bangkok walking through the audience lets Myra sing for him and then a little later invites her on stage. (Shot this with my phone. Sorry for the shaky hands.)

WOW, love her voice. Reminds me a lot of Hayley at that age.

Just saw this part of a review:

The evening ended up being half talk show and half concert, with lots of crescendoes and big notes. Songs were interspersed with _ sometimes lengthy _ stories told by Foster who also cracked jokes, related tidbits about hit tracks of his (there were so many of them) and generally jollied the audience along. But the amount of chatter didn't seem to detract from people's enjoyment, judging from the warmth of the response he got from the good-humoured crowd. His first guest was the beautiful Hayley Westenra, a brilliant 25-year-old from New Zealand who grabbed our attention right from the outset with her version of I Dreamed A Dream, followed quickly by Amazing Grace. Her voice is somewhat reminiscent of Celine Dion, the chanteuse for whom Foster wrote many chart-topping songs.

Westenra was then joined on stage by operatic singer Fernando Varela, a YouTube star from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the pair delivered a heart-warming rendition of Prayer. But the best performance from Westenra by far was her take on Kate Bush's nervously sweet Wuthering Heights, with its eccentric fluctuation of high notes and triplets, which the New Zealander carried off without a single flaw.
