I was hooked to the same performance by Bocelli and Brightman, until I came across this performance. Became an instant fan of Hayley; awesome voice edging Sarah over this performance, although both are top notch divas. This is one of the best pieces I have ever heard, combined with the skating.
My favorite duo...Andrea Bocelli and Hayley Westenra...a perfect blend of angels' voices...touching the hearts of the world. Thanks for sharing your God's unique gifts.
+Edit Lawan Try Andrea with Katherine Jenkins` I Believe` -Much better .Sorry Hayley I am afraid is a falling star .The Andrea Katherine version of this superior as well.
humptythegg Thanks for your suggestion. Given time, I will view the other performance. I'm not really updated with celebrities' lives. If Miss Hayley's star have "fallen", well, it's a normal part of life. What matters is...she has shown brightly...even for once...it would last a lifetime...and...beyond.
There is a meeting of more than voices when Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli sing this song together, and anyone who attempts to replace one or the other is a brave soul indeed. Hayley looked quite confused at 2:10 but apart from that, did her part justice. She has a beautiful voice, and will probably mature into an incredible singer. Thankfully, it doesn't matter whether she is "better" or "worse" than Sarah. There is room for both singers.
So lovely. Our daughter had this song played as her daddy walked her down the aisle 7 years ago. Goodbye Dad & Mom, hello husband. I still cry every time I hear it now. Hayley's voice blends beautifully with Andrea's.
well a big applause to Hayley for making such a good effort, but still Sarah Brightman will be always the Queen of this. Hayley Westenra + Andrea Boceeli = Great performance Sarah Brightman + Andrea Bocceli = Perfect performance
Right on nettiegirl56, Just another one of the many, many talents produced by "Godzone" (New Zealand) We Kiwi's should be so proud of her, I know I am, GO HAYLEY !!!!!!!!!!!
hayley is awesome. she needs to come on tour in america. i would so buy a ticket to see her live!! wait, i want to see her live really bad!!!! she is so pretty and her music is great!
There is seriously no need to compare. I love all 3 versions by the "Crossover Queens". Hayley - Sweet, pure, innocent Sarah - Emotional, expressive, very well-blended with Bocelli Katherine - Strong, overwhelming, thrilling
@@paddyzammit6588 Maybe they thought picture was blurred so they couldn't figure out who all the figure skaters are I recognize one losing his hair, the others I'm not sure who they are.
i love this song. Undoubtedly, Haily will never be the same as Sarah, although she shouldn't get completely neglected as a very talented person. Both singers are very well trained and use their voices in the best ways possible. As a younger person, I honestly feel a little overwhelmed by the amount of talent in this song, both versions. Congrats to Sarah, Hailey, And Andrea for making this song an amazing addition to my list of favorites.
I saw Haley when she was 17 preforming in a bar in NYC. She canged my life and she is the reason that i sing opera. To be 5 and see someone so wonderful was such an inspiration. I will always be a haley fan as long as i live.
THANK YOU, SilverGunZoO! Hayley Westenra was 18 at this 2005 performance, turned 23 a few months ago. Sarah Brightman c. 50, > 2x as old. Comparisons inevitable when 2 different women sing same arrangemt., same song, same Bocelli & you're right, "different voices," like comparing flute to violin. HW's 1st int'l album (at 16) hit #1 (classical) in UK; SB's solo career began w/ 45rpm single at age 21. Re Bocelli, he's going to hurt himself if keeps singing that way
Hayley and Andrea, A perfect team. Sends tingles up my spine. I don`t know of a better voice than Hayley`s at the same age. She is also very mature and unassuming, as is Andrea. Could listen to either of them all day. Italian and Kiwi, What a fantastic culture exchange. Douges
There have been some wonderful renditions of this song with various female supranos dueting with Andrea Bocelli. For me, Sarah Brightman and Andrea took the crown in 1997 with their Royal Albert Hall performance. Their chemistry was palpable.
i have never appreciated this kind of music but after hearing this for the first time it's amazing. it sends shivers but in a good way. i think it's more than uplifting, it's surreal!! the voices are a perfect combination. i will never get tired of listening to this magical piece!! thank you for uploading!!
hayley's got a very mature voice for her age. bocelli and her blend well together. sarah's just got more experience. check out hayley in a few more years. her voice will be even better than it is now (and its already amazing)
I think that was a really really good job of all. The orchester ist good, the ice dancers are super, the performance of them is really beautiful and the singers are amazing! A really great show!
Everytime I hear this song ,shivers run down the length of my spine..Hayley has a terrfiic voice.. She is form a very special place where there are only 4 million of us.. A virtual paradise in the South Pacific, 'Gods Own'.. New Zealand..
Regarding comparisons between Sarah Brightman and Hayley Westenra, I enjoy the singing of both women. They both have beautiful voices, excellent technique, and perform wonderful interpretations of the songs. I prefer to just enjoy them as they are, and I am grateful that I've had the opportunity to have such wonderful experiences in life, including hearing wonderful music performed by wonderful musicians of different instruments, including the voice, and different genres and styles.
@@LerRhann True but I find that those that say they know what is terrible or not because they are this and that .. usually don't know at all :) But does it make us all smile... poor things.
i must be hearing something different to the majority of people here. I think this is absolutely beautiful. I didn't think anyone could better Sarah Brightman on this song but I think this performance by Hayley makes Sarah look second rateNot perfect by any means but still amazing.
The version with Sara is just so much better, while Hayley does a nice job it sounds like what it is a young womens voice. Sara has the maturity that blends so well with Andrea's voice that this should not even be a discussion.
haley doesnt have the expression that sara has, she just stands and sings, and has no emotion at all. i love the emotional exchange between andrea and sara it is so romantic!!!
Shinta batusai Mmm, they are too different in pitch. Hayley Westerna is very high pitch where as Andrea Bocelli is low pitch. Bocelli and Sarah Brightman are a much better match.
Ahmad123987 : I absolutely agreed with you. The 2 best version in the world : Bocelli solo & Bocellli and Sarah. No one on the earth can compare with them.

@@phillies4100_mainsite yikes no.
@@phillies4100_mainsite Jackie Who?????
One of the most amazing voices ever to sing with Celtic Woman. The song is as beautiful as Haley is.
Wow my favourite version of this duet is with Sarah Brightman, but Hayley brings a sweet innocence to it. Love her voice
Sarah is such a ham. Glad to see and hear someone just sing the song.

HOW AWESOME SUCH TALENT BEAUTY AND GRACE. GOD GAVE THESE PEOPLE SUCH WONDERFUL GIFTS.
I've been in love with Hayley since the first time I saw her and heard her thrilling, chrystalline voice. What a sweetheart. What a treasure.
Andrea, Hayley and the Ice Skating group. What a magnificent combination. Most beautiful singing and skating. What a joy to see and hear.
No words, just goosebumps and awe❤❤❤
A beautiful performance by my favorite crossover tenor and soprano. Gave me chills all over.
They are both magnificent. Two of the greatest singers of all time!! I love them both.
Right on nettiegirl56, Just another one of the many, many talents produced by "Godzone" (New Zealand) We Kiwi's should be so proud of her, I know I am, GO HAYLEY !!!!!!!!!!!
I totally agree. Sarah Brightman is untouchable when it comes to this duo.

Wow love this version We are so fortunate to have this talent from these people. I love it ❤
Hayley is still young and learning her craft.
but the voice 'c'est magnifique'
Go kiwi girl!!!!
She has the most amazing voice i've heard in a looooong time!
Without a doubt ,one of the best voices ever!! and Boccellis not bad either.
Lol
Absolutely brilliant....LOVE IT!!! It was Awesome....Well Done Andrea and Hayley, another great New Zealand Talent!!!
Brilliant performance. Perfection. Another successful performance by Hayley Westenra. Andrea Bocelli did well, too.
This is something that makes my tears flow. Just amasing in every way.
Beautiful song and beautiful singers
How could anyone not like this??????
ใช่ค่ะ ฉันก็ชอบ.
Paul Brake maybe they can’t stand the Smuckers logo
@@paddyzammit6588 Maybe they thought picture was blurred so they couldn't figure out who all the figure skaters are I recognize one losing his hair, the others I'm not sure who they are.
Because they choose not to for reasons only know to themselves or because of some sort of self promotion :)
They are dead inside.
Immature ! you're definitely that ! this young Diva performance was stunning and flawless

Hayley is a lovely singer I have been listening to her for many years the voice of an angel.

Beautiful...
I have never heard anyone whose voice was so incredibly touching! He touches your soul. He is the very best there ever was! Wow! Riko xoxo
Beautiful performances singing..and graceful skating.
good effort hayley westenra!!
that song is so beautiful, almost brings tears to my eyes
It always amuses me that people can make such derogatory remarkes, I wonder if they themselves can sing! This was an outstanding performance!
Agreed! I always thought I could sing well until I tried a few recordings. I now have a profound appreciation for good singing.
You don't have to be a great singer to know what is terrible. On that note, this is top notch music.
@@LerRhann True but I find that those that say they know what is terrible or not because they are this and that .. usually don't know at all :) But does it make us all smile... poor things.

You are so right... !

How beautiful they sound together. I wish I was there. Thank yo you tube for posting this.

wow so beautiful
speachless..simply amazing.
Sarah just Brings more magic to this song.
best duo ever
Es una maravilla escuchar este duo. Un placer de sensaciones. Haley única.

Oh my God, this divine music, I'm in heaven...
Que perfeição 😍😍😍
Beautiful done as well as the second recording of "Con te partirò by Brightman and Bocelli
Hayley outshone him in this number. Love from California.
Awesome! Perfect singers!
I agree, thanks for putting my thoughts into words.
Sorry But ***** EFFING****** awesome I am in tears listening to this,Andrea could sing a Chinese takeaway menu and still evoke passion .
andrea and hayley are both fanimonal singers. they both make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when i hear the sing.
haley doesnt have the expression that sara has, she just stands and sings, and has no emotion at all. i love the emotional exchange between andrea and sara it is so romantic!!!
hayley is a damn good professional, and she at least has made something out of her life. performing in front of thousands of people can be very hard.
Espetacular!!!
i love the music,,, both of them are so grate.....
Shinta batusai Mmm, they are too different in pitch. Hayley Westerna is very high pitch where as Andrea Bocelli is low pitch. Bocelli and Sarah Brightman are a much better match.
+Scottx125Productions - Spiffingly Serious British Gaming! Can't agree anymore!
very fine sounds-
Awesome!
thanks for uploading.....such a nice song! my all time fav.~
superb
Remember she is only 18 here, her voice won't even have settled yet. she is much better now.
NEW ZEALAND REPRESENT!!!!!
Heavenly...
Ha! Kurt Browning skating there too. What an assembly of talent!
MARAVILLOSOOOOO!!!!
Ahmad123987 : I absolutely agreed with you.
The 2 best version in the world : Bocelli solo & Bocellli and Sarah. No one on the earth can compare with them.
