Yay, I guessed it right. She is going to sing "Baby" or "In the night" as the English title of the song. Wondering if she will play the song herself or just sing. This is an excellent addition to her repertoire as it's quite different then her norms.

Anyway this is a slightly different news article. This one talks a little more on how she found "baby" on the internet and a little bit on her birthday celebration.

Original article here: anntw.com/awakening/news_center/show.php?itemid=40275

【Taipei】 Taiwan awake newspaper reporter Cai Huiling bel canto days Houhai Li again singing, singing Taiwanese singer Zhang Xuan song, "Baby" and the song, "Rainy Night Flower", "The Moon Represents My Heart". Hayley the 8th dressed in a blue dress, with long hair, attended the press conference, especially in the wonderful songs to sing two classic movie theme song, "The Wizard of Oz," "Over The Rainbow" and "Mafia "" I Knew I Loved You ".

About repertoire, the bel canto day Houhai Li special audience singing Taiwanese singer Zhang Xuan song, "Baby". Hayley said, "Baby" this song is that she was found, she fell in love with this song the first time I heard music site Spotify. Originally she felt "Baby" is a the mother sang children's songs, and later learned that the Taiwanese singer Zhang Xuan creation and concerts, and Zhang Xuan songs after a quarrel with his mother. She began to learn and hope one day concert in Taiwan, is really reach the desire.

Hayley said, the concert will also pass the classics "you inspired me", "Amazing Grace". More particularly for the Taiwanese audience to offer Taiwanese song, "Rainy Night Flower" and the Chinese-speaking world's most beautiful love song "The Moon Represents My Heart". Fans in Taiwan are familiar Japan's ultra-popular songs, including Okinawa geji Natsukawa in the United States is Taiwan's best-selling singers cover several Chinese song "Tears", Mika Nakashima masterpiece "Snow" and the musical "Les Miserables" tracks "I Dreamed a Dream".

Birthday Hayley April 10 of this year will be spent in Taiwan, the 26-year-old birthday. Hayley intend to remaining neutral in the concert, together with the orchestra and her fiance to visit attractions around Taipei and Tainan. Hayley has repeatedly come to Taiwan, the Taiwan line still excited; Hayley said she sorely missed, very good experience before coming to Taiwan, she is looking forward to re-sing to the Taiwan audience listening.

Hayley is the first station on the the Tainan monuments Eternal Golden Castle stage, but she has long been performed in Europe and the United States over the monuments, she is very like concerts at the outdoor venue, the performances with symphony orchestra accompaniment, she felt in outdoor concerts and orchestras, It is a very special experience.

With 5 more days to go until the start of the Taiwan tour, tickets for the April 9th concert is approaching sell-out. As of now 70 seats remaining for April 9th, 287 seats remaining for April 13th and 396 seats remaining for April 14th.

With a little over 7 hrs until the concert, I thought I give this a final update. Tonight's concert is practically sold-out with only 19 seats left (99% sold) . April 13th concert has 169 seats (94% sold) and April 14th has 321 seats (81% sold).

I am sure sales will pick up for the other two after tonight's concert.

Wow, and those seats are going fast!!! Between the times of your post and mine, the number of seats went from 19 to 12! That's not too bad of a turn out!

Yes, I think this is one of the prettiest photos I've seen of her:



Her hair and her expression, plus the elegant combination of the necklace and the dress... it's a wonderful shot! I think the lighting is part of it, too; the colors turned out just perfect to me. Like, before she was standing in front of a brighter white background, so the contrast of her hair isn't quite right. I know from experience taking pics of pets with dark fur next to another pet with more white fur always makes the darker pet look way too dark, for some reason, or if you take it with a white wall in the background.

Comet is right (in the fashion thread): She makes the dress look good, but I have to say, so does the necklace! What would be an otherwise plain, unexciting dress, is made into a beautifully elegant outfit for Hayley. Of course, Hayley herself makes it look that much better.

[lionbc]

I think I like this photo best. This is from news.chinatimes.com/reading/110513/112013040900502.html

[Libby]

The lighting there makes her hair look too artificially red.

And Taylor, most of those photos are the same as what Jillian just posted. Except for the FB wall photo one, and the one you said was one of her "classic poses". Those are the only 2 different ones, just saying. I know, because I just posted them all on the official forum! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

[lionbc]

But her smile looks amazing and natural in this one. I don't mind the red hair .

Anyway, this was posted on the Taiwan Fan FB page. It has the two songs that Hayley sung at the press conference.
