One of my favourite Hayley songs, her voice is incredible, I'm not normally into this kind of music but she has a rare talent and is so easy to listen to.
I saw her live with Celtic Woman, and all I can say is if they ever come near your town you should go see them. I have to admit I get in a trance when I hear Her and the rest of Celtic Woman sing.
One of my favorite songs. As soon as I heard this great singer I bought most every CD of hers on Amazon. What a great voice. Right there with Linda Eder and Streisand.
I love this young lady. This is probably my favorite song by her. She sounds as if it were written for her. 2 years before my father died he shut me out because of a new marriage late in life. When I heard this song right after his death I had to wonder who had painted the moon black and why he walked away from me. She is well in the company of Streisand, Linda Eder, Midler, and others all with excellent voices.
OMG!!! Hayley is really as beautiful as her singing. And she was only 17 years old when she sang this song here (In 2004). She just glows with beauty, confidence and majesty when she sings.
Hayley is gifted to sing like this...I like this song. First I didn't know what she was saying in her songs which was before I knew the lyrics! Keep it up hayley!
Not just the voice....but i love it too ^^ +g+ She just sings really really adorable...... Oh my gosh.... !!! Everytime, I hear that song, tears are rolling down my eyes........So far about good feelings... ^^ She really made me my change my life so far... Hayley... more sweet songs like that please....^^ Greetz, Rasta....
great! This is the first time I have heard this n I really like her other songs. But now I a like another one of her songs. Shes so brilliant as an artist.
Fell in love the first time I heard it; it's the song that attracted me to Hayley. "Never Saw Blue" is currently my obsession. :) She has a perfect voice; the kind that makes others feel they shouldn't be singing. :) -3
You are totally correct,"cocoakoka". She sounds as good live as she does on her albums. This is not true of other popular artists such as Enya who doesn't have the same dynamic acoustics in her voice that Hayley does. Enya's music is full of electronic processing and layering when done in the studio and it robs her voice of the same mid-range clarity that causes Hayley's voice to project her perfect overtones and inflections. It's easy to see why you have so many "thumbs up" !!
I was flipping channels one day and their was a figure skating show called Katarina Witt and friends. I was only going to stop on that program for a minute. Hayley was singing for the figure skaters performance. I know she sang this and I think she also sang Amazing Grace. I was instantly hooked. Did anybody else see that show?
Absolutely brilliant... She has an amazing voice and is incredibly talented... people have compared Hayley to Charlotte Church and in my opinion Hayley is a much better singer and roel model to people!!! Hayley Rocks!
For people wondering her age, according to wiki: Born, 10 April 1987 (1987-04-10) (age 24) Since this was done five years ago, she was 19, as CaerUfa said.
My favorite HW tune outside of Wuthering Heights. Dudes, I'm heterosexual as hell and she's got a voice like a broken heart. It sufaces, blossoms...and never, ever fades. Cheers!
If I'm not wrong then it's a 2002 "I dreamed a dream" :D. I'm searching fot 2004 "I dreamed a dream" live in her own concert. Anyways, thanks for your help!
I read somewhere that "Who Painted the Moon Black", was written specifically for Haley Westenra to perform. Thus it would not be a cover, but an original.
Does anyone know the origins of this song? I've heard it from several different singers but I don't know who sang it first. It's not one of those really old songs (i.e., Danny Boy, Shenandoah, etc.), is it? It sounds a little too modern to me for it to be one of those old classic types, but I could be wrong.
excuse me, do you have the video Hayley sang "I dreamed a dream" in her 2004 concert. I really wat to watch it. If you have, could you please upload it to youtube. Thanks in advance!
Hayley's voice is very sweet whereas Nianell has an intriguing voice. Nianell wrote the song in 2002 I think. Nianell is very talented singing many music genres from rock to country to opera. She plays several instruments as well.
heidikkchen:Yes, I think you are correct about Avril. She has an attitude problem, as if she is angry about something. But Hayley has a sunny good nature. A really nice girl.
hayley westenra will always be my favourite singer. I always sing along with her CDs! I hope my friend, no. 1 fan of Hayley will carry on liking her!
she is amazing...Hayley Westenra has the voice of an angel!!! Listening to her makes me dream...
My son used to song this when he was 3, beautiful song, beautiful Hayley, beautiful voice.
One of my favourite Hayley songs, her voice is incredible, I'm not normally into this kind of music but she has a rare talent and is so easy to listen to.
Nothing better to say: One of my favorite songs sung by this wonderful singer.
10 years later for me and 17 years later for this video. She's still incredible.
I saw her live with Celtic Woman, and all I can say is if they ever come near your town you should go see them. I have to admit I get in a trance when I hear Her and the rest of Celtic Woman sing.
Me too and she was the best of the group with Lisa.
I love this song and her voice is so beautiful!
This girl has an amazing voice! Can't believe she's only 20 years old! WOW!
This one and the dark waltz are my favourites! Love her!
One of my favorite songs. As soon as I heard this great singer I bought most every CD of hers on Amazon. What a great voice. Right there with Linda Eder and Streisand.

Yes, she is great, great, great!!!
Wow...love u so much.please come and live with us in Australia!
If by magic this song had been released in the early '60s, it would have easily made the Billboard Top Ten in Britain.

She just has to be one of God's most perfect creations!!!!

So sorry to hear that happened to you. I hope you find your father in paradise and the two of you can be reunited.

Actually this concert was in 2004 (St James Theatre, Wellington, NZ) so she was about 17 years old.

MÚSICA ENCANTADORA, DIVINA, LINDÍSSIMA..........PARABÉNS....

Hayley Rocks!

La musica,hermosa...pero la letra representa un momento como me sentia un dia...
I am in love.
what a voice
this song makes me cry o:(
It's clearly a song about lost love, not bereavement.
written by a south african for a beautiful lady with a wonderful voice!
phoenixrising427. The song was not written for her. It is just a cover. A good one granted but the original is better.
Did you see how hard I've tried?
Not to show the pain inside
Just as you walked away from me.
WON'T YOU, WON'T YOU COMEBACK?
MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA.....
Bellisima cancion
Nice song
The original was written and sung by Nianell, a Namibian Artist who released it in 2002.
For people wondering her age, according to wiki: Born, 10 April 1987 (1987-04-10) (age 24)
Since this was done five years ago, she was 19, as CaerUfa said.
Lovely.
Yep, that is probably why she rememded me of Celine.
This is my favorite song that she sings but I like the CD version beter, it's a bit faster and upbeat. I like this one but I like the CD better!
ella es un sueño hecho realidad
Does anyone knows that this song was written by a South-African singer and songwriter named Nianell?
My favorite HW tune outside of Wuthering Heights. Dudes, I'm heterosexual as hell and she's got a voice like a broken heart. It sufaces, blossoms...and never, ever fades. Cheers!
She is only months older than me and is also a kiwi.
If I'm not wrong then it's a 2002 "I dreamed a dream" :D. I'm searching fot 2004 "I dreamed a dream" live in her own concert.
Anyways, thanks for your help!
curmudgeon101: Agreed! This lovely girl was only 17 yrs old when she recorded this. A remarkably talented, and as you say, nice person.
haha, yes please!
All the Gals had a major crush on teddy, and hayley was very fortunate to have done IT wiv him... god!
Sehr schöne Stimme.....
i'ld have a crush on him too!! the man is fine & purty!
I read somewhere that "Who Painted the Moon Black", was written specifically for Haley Westenra to perform. Thus it would not be a cover, but an original.
I would love to see Haley and Josh Groban sing something together. Both have such smooth, pure voices.
You have to realize, she is very young. She may be singing about things she hasn't expirienced yet. That will just come in time.
Does anyone know the origins of this song? I've heard it from several different singers but I don't know who sang it first.
It's not one of those really old songs (i.e., Danny Boy, Shenandoah, etc.), is it? It sounds a little too modern to me for it to be one of those old classic types, but I could be wrong.
I love you
ipaythursday ,isn't it a Hayley's Pie Jesu live? I'm looking for her "I dreamed a dream" in 2004 concert.
anyway, thanks for your help!
check her out singing with CELTIC WOMAN..THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER....
excuse me, do you have the video Hayley sang "I dreamed a dream" in her 2004 concert. I really wat to watch it. If you have, could you please upload it to youtube. Thanks in advance!

heidikkchen:Yes, I think you are correct about Avril. She has an attitude problem, as if she is angry about something. But Hayley has a sunny good nature. A really nice girl.
