russell watson and hayley westenra time to say goodbye

[TheMrCrayton]

what language is that i really want to know

[stuartpentney213]

11 people had some one say goodbye to them and they did't move on

[Michaelscoolio]

this is one of my fav musicals. I think i know all the words to lol. i spent like hours last night on snapsnap checking out their Phantom related stuff. like interviews and behind the scenes stuff. it was awesome.

[cijo3]

i wana know the words to this song

[misswaffle123]

@cijo3 I have put them in the description :)

[HolyCheezeNipz]

Gives me goosebumps every time. c:

[peterofstifford]

A TRIBUTE TO JIM FROSTICK WHO PASSED AWAY IN 2011 AFTER WORKING MANY YEARS AT THE GRADE 2* LISTED STATE CINEMA AT GRAYS IN ESSEX. HE WAS DEVOTED TO THE PLACE AND REMAINED THERE TO CARE FOR AND PROTECT RIGHT UP TO THE END. THANK YOU JIM - REST IN PEACE.

[xandstuff12]

Will Ferrell

[e3jml]

This is great but i like Sarah Brightman's version better

[MrAsungot]

was that Patrick Wilson?

[misswaffle123]

@MrAsungot In the clips yes :)

[TheAlexis4444]

@MrAsungot that is Patrick Wilson as young Raul.

[TheAlexis4444]

this song has nothing to do with Phantom of the Opera, it had amazing songs itself, so it is misleading to use this on the footage of Phantom of the Opera, as people who doesn't know will think it if from the movie or teh opera.

[monstor2191]

this isnt healthy how many times in a row i have listened to this!...in a row!!!!

[TwixKidd95]

@monstor2191 SAME. I think it's like 4301182..or something like that..

[ErmKane6]

This song is friggin beautiful!

[Maryyyyyize]

The osng is so great, and the video is beautiful <3

[puddingmaster2]

I love Hayley, but she comes second (a close second) to Sarah Brightman.

[mynamesedson]

so beautiful



[TheMrCrayton]

i really enjoy it

[beagle723]

i lovee this song , gonna play it at my funeral x

[FearlessRLC96]

This was played at my Nana's funeral back in 2006 :'( I listen to it everytime i start to miss her

[Mr11mike]

Hi, This is the best, thanks for your contribution.

regards

Michael

[devilish98]

beautiful song! this was used for my nanas funeral :;(

[gm28]

Song is ok... bloody video is absolutely shocking. This is what happens when amateurs think they can "edit" with absolutely no understanding of pace or sensitivity.

[misswaffle123]

@gm28 Well you can always turn it off. I did it for the song and just thought the phantom of the opera clips went well. Think you are in the minority my friend. Owing to the fact it has 352 Likes and only 8 dislikes.

[alanmcivor]

@misswaffle123 i think it is great

[gkidcj]

@misswaffle123 dont listen to him, i think the intro fits perfectly to the song

[xJewBaer]

@misswaffle123 It also gos well with the titanic.

[propheticchaos]

@misswaffle123 on the contrary, I clicked the video because lets face it, Hayley Westenra might be one of the greatest female vocalists ever. Russell Watson I hadn't hear of before- but I'll be giving his stuff a listen as well. Now, as for the video itself, I watched like 15 seconds of it and decided I'd like the audio track on its own much better. However, thank you for posting the song :)

[eeldergill]

@gm28 Touch arrogant, but then no one can do It as well as You do - It being everything.

[FireflyFanatic3]

@gm28 song is "OK"??!!!! The song is incredible! Both Hayley and Russel are very talented singers!!

[pmc111]

russel watson is the best ever!

[MarietteDavina]

Two stunning artists!

[josevanreyes]

I wrote and produced this song.

[justinlwerner]

I like this version, but overall I like the Brightman/Bocelli better. Westenra's voice is more full and rounded than Brightman's, but her falsetto is not as good. And although I really like Russell Watson, I think Andrea Bocelli sounded more natural for this song. Still, a very, very nice version.  Well done!

[Deathreaver17]

Speechless. Nice song and clip. I think andrea bocceli fit better.

[llawrencemajors]

I think this song is one of the most beautiful

[ChrisBaxendale20]

I think this is most beautiful song ever !

[SigfridAffricano6297]

audioripit daht cahm.

[lookoutism]

@"@*ajhkfysufb ))('§(-çè) so beautifulll thank you for postingg.

[Solver1MG]

GREAT SONG but this version is not the best!

[barkerluv]

so good looking i wish??

[mentos002]

"upiór w operze"

[jantherussellfan]

@mentos002 tak to jest

[tommyroy11]

it sounds nice but i prefer Brightman, she make this song way more alive

[lilsaprano123]

@tommyroy11 yes you are right i love Hayley but  i think Sarah sings this brilliantly.

[lilsaprano123]

@tommyroy11 - I am a fan of Hayley but I prefer Sarah singings this song.

[gazerlumin]

Beautiful

[DoneHG]

RIP Grandpa :( I miss you!!! :(

I love this song !

[MarNieCo]

You have to see the Fountains in Dubai to this song, its pretty awesome, next time i visit Family I'll film it.

[misswaffle123]

@MarNieCo if you do film it then let me know :)

[adasho]

@MarNieCo

let me know too :)

[Kevvo4444]

@MarNieCo The dancing fountains of the Bellagio Hotel Las Vegas are beautiful too

[NikkiLarkin17]

@MarNieCo I saw it once...amazing :)

[dsdffdsfdsdsffsd]

i love hayley westenra's singing especially when she performs the ending song for mulan 2, but i have to have the lyrics right there because she can be a little hard to understand because she sings so high. am i the only one who does this to her songs?

[PatineCccka]

Z jakiego filmu jest ten "teledysk"?

[misswaffle123]

@PatineCccka

Upiór w operze

(sorry if this is incorrect, i used google translator. the film is phantom of the opera)

[bloodbathssss]

@misswaffle123 The Bellagio in Lav Vegas has fountains that move to this song also.

[piowikmag]

@PatineCccka Czytaj opis z żadnego filmu to są tylko wstawione klipy

[TGrady269]

this song gives me the chills, brilliant!

[ItalienStalien802]

mein gott ich liebe diesen song!!

[rockwithstone]

Brilliant job! Thanks!

[kirstenrubberducky]

I love how well the music and video fit together! And great version of the song : )

[silverstartrucker]

What a mess. She sounds like a cat. Watson is a mediocre pop singer who thinks he is an opera star. Classic FM have given them massive publicity, shame on them...

[Kaileo1]

@silverstartrucker Oh c'mon, stop being a music snob :) I have an education in classical music, and sure, they are not opera singers. But this is Popera, not Opera.  It's romantic and fun, they sing it well, it's enjoyable... and popera is not meant to replace the great classics... and it never will.

Surely there is room in this world for both?

[silverstartrucker]

@Kaileo1 - Point taken - I just do not like Watson as a person but love Paul Potts, a great voice. Suppose Haley is tolerable. Dreadful Leslie Garret should be exterminated :-)

[Kaileo1]

@silverstartrucker Bravo! And to each their own, right? :)

[sarah4russell]

@silverstartrucker

how can you say you do not like Russell as a person you do not know him!!!!!

[sarah4russell]

@silverstartrucker 

[Dicorae]

This is the Phantom of the Opera trailer simply played twice with one song playing behind it. Not many people can get away with doing that...Nice job.

[123nathyp]

<3 love it x

[eithnep]

Misswaffle123, I laughed when I read your response to periperigord's questions! I had not scrolled down to see them, but I said the same thing you did! Good grief, makes you wonder, but then I thought maybe poor perperigord may be visually impaired and not able to see, bet then he might not be able to read your response! Double whammy!

[periperigord]

Who's the female singer? And I presume the male singer is Bocelli? And why the song? It's totally unrelated to The Phantom of the Opera!

[misswaffle123]

1. read the title, it clearly states that the female singer is hayley westenra, and the male sing is russell watson.

2. Does it really matter? Personally i think the song fits with the video and i know a lot of people like this video.

[grl008]

@periperigord get ahold of yourself. jerk.

[periperigord]

@grl008 Everyone's entitled to opinion and in my opinion you're the Jerk!!

fantastyczne wykonanie BRAVO

[garydupuis]

Is there a version of this in all English? Just curious?

[FireflyFanatic3]

incredibly powerful!!

[ockeghem35]

What a load of rubbish

[welshsheepdip]

Don't watch it then if it upsets you this much.

[garydupuis]

@ockeghem35 What's rubbish about it?

[chrismyo]

My favorite video on Youtube. Thank you

[lynaitch1]

AWESOME

[Swithenban]

Haley has the purest voice I have ever heard, she and Russell give a wonderful rendition of this song.

[Sopranelsker]

Swithenban, I challenge that statement after you have heard these two:

watch?v=3nLKXxzVqTY

watch?v=JQKQdwowbok

[rebebo95]

this song reminds me of my great grandma <3

(:

[BarbaraT1000]

Lovely combination of video with the gorgeous seductive tenor voice of Russell Watson and heavenly voice of Haley Westenra (I think I like her more than Sarah Brightman especially in the lower register). Such enjoyment! Thx

[leetyson2]

best homemade vid ive seen :)

[misswaffle123]

Thank you =D

[mikesterSTLMO]

Um, perhaps you should thank Warner Brothers. You DO know this footage from Phantom of the Opera right?

[vhagues]

Sheer bliss, video and music to die for, thank you sooo much. x

[misswaffle123]

You're very welcome. i am glad you enjoyed it =D

[joshfaninms]

This songs makes me want to run out and buy the CD. Russell sounds especially awesome...

[MissManchester10]

So beautiful together. Pitch purrrfect! BTW Russell can sing anything and Hayley is a joy. This song is done by so many wonderful singers but this could be my favorite.

[Swithenban]

You made a wonderful video, thank you. Russell & Haley sing beautifully together.

[craigtickell]

Pitch perfect Hayley & Russell, you worked well together on this.

Craig Tickell.

[LeyvaRudy]

I guess bird45678 prefers RAP! Obviously not a fan of good music.

[nina12345678917]

hehe i love it fav song ever n fav movie ever perfectttt

[manceltal]

There is a lyrical quality to Westenra's voice that I find quite unique and very pleasing.

[hotqueekboi]

Her voice, as always, is just amazing and divine.

His voice, on the other hand, unfortunately reminds me why I never really got into his music/singing style. It sounds like he's trying to dampen his tone, or "force richness" into his voice, which wouldn't be there otherwise. I'm just not a fan of his voice.

[Savaric86]

Depends. If he sings pop songs, he's amazing. But if he's going into the "classical field" he's just not good enough anymore.

[maggiekrauss]

I don't know about Hayley being better than Sarah Brightiman. I prefer Sarah's than Hayley, She's more original. Hayley alright, I'm just not convinced. She sounds to clean, But it ok.

[Sagittariustoo]

Hayley is better than Sara but Andrea blows Russell away, imo.

[ChanceVoyager]

Hayley's italiano e eccellente. Ma il suo inglese est genze di lavoro.

[blmiky]

It's ok....but their italian is really horrible...and I also find that no one can sing that song like andrea bocelli and sarah brightman....<3

[godgaveasong]

always a little kid who does not know aT all anything about Italian or misuc!!

[shadowlord722]

learn to speak, spell, and type dude.

[godgaveasong]

since i speak 6 languages and English is not my first, my grammar has nothing to do with you not knowing shit about italian or music at all!!

[soniqueblast]

Both of them are really good, but their italian really sucks!

[baslan28]

yes. if they were italian song could be more emotional. but their voices is good.

[EveyElectrickk]

this song was used for my grandads funerel today :'(

[tsukisuen]

I'm so sorry for you.

[RIVERBOTTOM]

ti amo

[Jinx903]

Russell and Gerry I mean, and love the connection with phantom, Sarah Brightman! very clever! Love phantom deffinitly my favourite musical f all time!

[Jinx903]

lovein this u've managed to get of my favourite men in the world in this

[codalisa007]

Absolutely brilliant

[SunnyG66]

The music and Gerry Bulter!

What a bonus.....

[mikianimefan]

Amazing i love hayley

[bookloverholic]

she is absulutly amazing

[Oniknarf]

i find hayley's voice more suiting to this song than brightman's

[leetyson2]

great song they sing it the best

[goldenkt]

Russell (: <3

[DiluteMeDown]

dosent sound like him to me either?

[Yunginspirit]

What a beautiful, pure voice!

Fabulous!!

[lbphil]

wow!

[schweretraume]

Hayley should take Italian classes her pronunciation is not good enough. I don't wanna criticize her, because she is quite good, but in this song her voice gets lost. I hope you understand mi opinion. Bye.

[aquinascollege08]

try singing in german and see how your pronunciation goes fool

[Phoenix684]

Браво! Я Люблю эту песню...

[welshsheepdip]

Yes wellsieman2, you are the only person who thinks this is not the Great Russell Watson......Its on his album "Outside In"......Go and buy it its well worth it.

[wellsieman2]

nice video but am i the only one whos not convinced its russell watson?

[vegetaowen]

awesome

[xbigshot1]

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! ...BRAVO........thank you for this wonderful video.

brits and kiwis should be very proud of these two!

thank you sophie

[keith221191]

new zealand which im from are very proud of our hayley not many kiwis can sing opera so we are very proud sing away hayley

[finkofaname]

wot a song... good vid aswell :-) x

[misswaffle123]

Thank you =]

[Weetikveelz0r]

I like Hayley Westenra a lot, but this might not be the best song for her. Still not bad at all.

[Lluitador33]

Hayley is just amazing

[fartfucky]

Their voices, as mentioned by others, are not suited for this song. It sounds monotonous and static. There's not much emotions and expressions happening in the song. Bocelli and Sarah are much more expressive and emotional in their singing. Their voices are much more rounded and flowing which can gradually build up to a climax which doesn't happen with Russell and Hayley.

[fartfucky]

I like Russell Watson and Hayley Westenra and their music. However, I am quite disappointed as I found myslef bored halfway throug this song.

[jomiguel22]

Hayley can hit all the notes effortlessly, especially the high ones but Sarah's voice is more suited for this song. Her voice is more mature and has great depth in feeling.

[antoniapz]

I love this sing... with this video is BRILIANT! well done dear misswaffle123

[misswaffle123]

Thank you very much :)

[picspark]

A fine job on the video and sound. My input on Watson is that he is very good but no Bocelli.

[ElizabethTryon]

You did a great job on this video!

[readysteadydude]

Andrea Bocelli is much better !!!!!

[davidswildobsessions]

I love Haleys pure voice she is amazing :D

I think Andrea no offense Russel but is much better at this song song as it was originally his ..I think :P:P

:D:D

[rikkychan]

Hayley's voice is beautiful, but it's hard to understand what she's saying in Italian. She should have worked more on pronunciation... Russell was very good, though.

[chewie211171]

She's singing in Italian because the song was originally written that way.

[tommyw96]

Russell rules!!!!!!!!!

[Musicainme]

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video, superb version by both of them !

[jantherussellfan]

Russell Watson isn't a Kiwi. He's from Manchester, England and your right he isn't Bocelli he's far better

[hansquad]

What? are you saying that Watson is better than Bocelli? I'm also fan of Watson...but to say that he is better than Bocelli......

[sonho1234]

I love Hayley's soft voice in this. Totally lifts you to another level

[rainskidoodle]

i actually like this version! it's sooo light to the ears! but of course sarah is and andrea's version is still a wow!!!

[Whereareyoutony]

My favourite song at the moment.

[Cpt1Jack1]

I love this song and love Russell Watson

[musicenvy1]

This is a powerful version of a beautiful song. Different than Bocelli/Brightman, but every bit as wonderul. The editing is superb!

[monoreke]

i think Sarah Brightman does a better job

[LittleCamBlud11]

i love this song - all verisons of it (:

[pricipedelnotte]

I think this version is better than the Westenra- Bocelli version. I love all three singers immensely, they are all greatly talented but I think that Bocelli's voice doesn't fit in as well with Westenra's. That is my opinion but they all sing remarkably well. :)

[nina12345678917]

where did u find this sung by her i can't find it

[misswaffle123]

It's from Russell Watson's album, "Outside In"

[nina12345678917]

thx i love the movie phantom

[drakkis]

Beautifully edited

[da805zbarbie]

im not one to big a fan of opera..unfortunately. but this song just completely takes my breath away.

[nina12345678917]

my 2 fav things put 2gether. my fav song ever and my fav movie 5starz

[l3xxii3bab3z]

my cat died today ..some women ran him over.. this song just makes me feel betta and i dont no y... im only 14 and have never cried so much.. this song is really good he is such a good singer..

[jantherussellfan]

[TheViolinLegacy]

wow this is a good job, it matches, and this is the greatest song ever made in the face of the planet
