Yay, thanks for sharing. It sure is nice to hear her talking voice again. I don't think most of us have heard it since her little video talking about her Taiwan concert last year. Or, actually, I think she spoke in one of Ross' videos from the Christmas concert.

I've changed the title of this thread, and shared Frank Lin's video on the HWI Facebook page.

How do you like this?

I think the "sea" has to do with Hayley's name, because on the fans in Taiwan page, all of their posts seem to be calling her "our sea sister", so when this translates as "the sea is delicious...." I don't know quite what to think.

[Libby]

Someone replying to the Korean fan page's instagram post said this:

"The prayer.Hayley will sing the song with Lin."

That was a guess of mine!

[Richard]

Ah yes, that's a great duet! Hayley sang it with Russell Watson at the World Games back in 2009.

The first picture of Hayley looks like she got blond extensions unless her hair suddenly grew a foot! Personally, I'm not liking the look since her real hair makes it look full from her shoulders up, and afterwards, it really thins out. It probably does not help I have seen her with short hair for -what?- four years now. Hoping the performance is great and we get some news from Hayley.

Looks like their was a red carpet event Friday night (last night by Taiwan's time frame):

As I said in the other thread, her dress is BEAUTIFUL, stunning! Pink is such a good color for her, I wish she'd wear it more often. And I personally like the hair extensions...it's something different. And I miss her long hair.

[Libby]

Hayley got her hair cut in 2014, so it's been 3 years. I personally like it. Of course, we've all been used to her long hair, and part of me hopes she'll grow it out again sometime. But, clearly she wants it short for the time being, so if that's what she wants to do, then that's what she should do.

I don't really care for Josh Groban's hairiness (beard) lately, but I realize it's for his role of Pierre in the Comet show, and am hoping he'll tone it down once it's all over in a few months. But, it's his beard, and if he wants to keep it bushy forever, that's up to him. His voice still sounds good, and he's still hilarious, so there's really nothing for me to complain about.
