My computer hated the link to the HWI page. Said the Adobe thing crashed, and for about a minute, I couldn't do a single thing except wait for it to hopefully do something one way or another. Guess I'll have to search for it on youtube?  Edit: After exiting the page, I clicked on your link again, and there was no problem. However, I clicked to watch it on youtube, and then had to search the hwi videos to get the proper link (not the embed link) to share. I don't know why I have so much trouble watching/listening to stuff on the website. I had to totally refresh the page for the last 2 radio interviews to work for me recently. Hi Libby, Try the direct Youtube video, it's just embedded on the website so they are both the same and in HD: www.youtube.com/watch?v=euigvGfL6QcAre you using Firefox? Because I too have had occasional glitches similar to what you describe, since one of their recent (and all too frequent IMO) updates. There is another version of the interview on Youtube... ....but can be downloaded in stunning Hi Res (4096 x 2304). Hi Martin D, There is no point in anyone upscaling a full HD video to 4K as it cannot be as good as the original broadcast at 1920 x 1080i - not as good because it's been re-encoded at least twice and then, any monitor displaying it will have to downscale it back to 1920x1080 - so that's at least three transformations! It's not 4K anyway, it's 2400 x 1350, so 2.4K, weird. EDIT - just watched that '4K' video and it wasn't even normal HD before upscaling it, have you watched it on an HD screen? It's absolutely appalling, sadly the uploader doesn't seem to know what he was doing. Cheers, Dave |

Hi Dave,
That's interesting! But having done an A/B comparison of the two I think you are right. Your version yields a file around half the size of the other one, and it looks and sounds better.
I did find it didn't play quite as smoothly when streaming though, kept starting and stopping, not sure why. I think I was steaming both at the same resolution.
Thanks anyway Dave. Superb job and good that you are able to do this, since I was on the M1 when it was broadcast.

Thanks for posting this Dave! It was a very nice interview. I loved the story of finding the extra verses to Twinkle Twinkle.

Thanks, Dave, but as I said, I managed to find it in a roundabout way.  It was a nice interview, though it's all starting to sound the same. I heard nothing new at all. But the important thing is that it's on TV and helping her album sales. Oh... and I guess we know what the 3rd video is. That was the most artificial-looking one of all. I'm very disappointed one of the more adult songs wasn't done into a video, and a "real" video, at that. |

The top looks very good with the necklace. And the dress, necklace, and shoes were the same from the Taiwan press conference.  Now I see why you just posted the link. I was just going to post one with a comment, but it will not post. I'm using the right code, and it doesn't have the s in the http, so I don't know what the problem is. All that shows when I post it is this: [image] and that's it. |

They are not image files...and for good reason. Because at the bottom of that link, it says " All pictures or photos on Contactmusic.com are subject to copyright.

Lovely interview!  Okay, who else is reminded of the Pokarekare Ana video at 3:44?  Also, for some reason, eight different YT channels have uploaded the same 2 minute and 33 second long clip onto their channels. Strange, but I'm not complaining. -Taylor i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

Hello Libby!  Actually the problem with the images is that the URLs are too long for the ProBoards software. Adding 'noubbc' tags in the middle fixes the links, so here are two of the photographs:   I see you don't have that problem on Hayley's official forum. Richard  |

Oh, I was wondering, because I was able to post them all just fine on the official forum! The one I wanted was the one with the guy getting her autograph(s). I was just going to comment on how it appeared he'd brought his entire Hayley CD jacket collection. |

I saw that one too Libby. I think I would bring all of my Hayley cd jackets if I ever got the chance to meet her again.
