Hayley Westenra [Artist] - Shenandoah/One Fine Day/E Pari Ra Medley

[Jeffrey751]

What a gorgeous creature, as a former policeman I would describe her as "rescue able," the kind of girl you would kiss good night rather than good morning.I'm a hopeless romantic.

[TheJoshuaTuber]

She got a very sharp nose .

I prefer her singing pie jesu , it's really good . I am not complaining ;D

[viperxful]

To tamesca. Both.

[tamesca]

idk which is more gorgeous her or her voice

[graemk]

She's just totally gorgeous in all directions !!!

[whiterose465]

This is how a music video is supossed to be made. MTV watch out!

[gega1985]

[dreamheart210]

Beautiful

[LEOPARDTWO]

One of America's most beautiful songs.

[kirstaps]

shes a new zealander

[animefangirlxx]

D: woah! she can sing high o-o my vocal chords would break if I tried that

[IlluminosaImmortalis]

lol, thats something my dear cousin would say!!

[smileyface351031]

OMG! i sung this in my school chorus in elementary school! ah..... the memories :D

[maedum]

bellissima e bravissima...

[KiwiAow]

Tu Meke wahine.... churr girl you do us proud.

[jorgehamamatsu]

Jorge

[Angeliclily]

o///A///o What an angel.

[Christina918273645]

i live where she is is singing about

[Irishgal333]

wow she has an amazing voice!

[binkiesmom]

Truly the voice of an angel.

[DeidaraIsHot154]

I listen to her songs when I play endless Ocean...she has such a beautiful voice..and she's prettier than I pictured her to be too

[ajroxx13]

she is so gorgeous! and i love her voice! aah!

[kitteyandkat]

her voice is soo processed no offence

it kinda pisses me off

[BeanangelTreon]

When she has kids she can sing them

One fish two fish

red fish blue fish

imagine her reading Dr Suess as a melody

[S7Godd]

What an incredible voice, a true gift from above. Does anyone else think she is as gorgeous as I do?

[PimpinDeezNiggahz]

I cant hear a word shes saying!?! I kno its in Maori but she like doesn't hold the words. she just like mumbles them or just goes ah oh re ah oh instead of pronouncing it properly!

[BIGMUDDYDOG]

To pimpinDeezNiggahz: I suggest you have your ears cleaned out.

[treelover320]

i love that song

[devinbriann12]

I love her music,it`s on one of my favorite games,Endless Ocean,it`s so relaxing

I`m so excited,we are playing Shenandoah in orchestra!haha,well,bye

[twilightluver121212]

WOW...she was trained in national youth choir great britain...ma friend goes there and she knew her

xoxooxox AMAZIN VOICE!!!!!!!

[JERRYBOLAK]

she has a perfect voice, can any one match her voice, it's a gift from God

[mikianimefan]

beautiful voice love her!!!

[Mariekesone]

She is extraordinary XXD

[KairuHakubi]

Yknow, I've realized something.. she really needs to keep her volume more consistent...

[rynerich]

Did you ever think she has very little control over the volume?

[KairuHakubi]

What, you mean it's the guy on the mixing board doin that? he should just leave it alone while someone's singing..

[VintagexNotions]

I believe three of her already-recorded songs were put together to make a video, which is why the consistency isn't perfect. They're three different songs molded together into a medley.

[KairuHakubi]

No I mean from word to word. It's the same in Endless Ocean. You can only really hear like every other phoneme, she really goes loud on certain sounds and then quietly murmurs the others.

[rynerich]

maybe you need your hearing tested

[KairuHakubi]

Hmm, it does seem to be most songs I hear that have this problem...

but honestly can any of you say you hear anything distinguishable at :14? or :32? or the -entirety- of the second song?

and like, third song.. usually when someone's singing in another language I can learn it phonetically, but this just sounds like a blur of vowels without any consonants

[Howitzer89]

Gotta love those irish sopranos and their coloratura XD.

[rynerich]

Howitzer89. Hayley is from New Zealand not Ireland. Her family has irish ancestry tho'.

[Howitzer89]

Not literally Irish. In style.

[Mariekesone]

Hayley is a New Zealand Soprano and her family is from Irish and dutch heritage...A great Mix of Styles maybe.. XD

[tengyang2001]

Angelic in every conceivable way!

[theun4givn2]

that was awesome

[donnacheer11]

Sorry people, Charlotte Church never saw the day that she could match Haley's voice for sheer beauty. Haley takes seconds from no one.

[carlytwilightluvr]

for sum reason i think charlotte chruch is better

[Christina918273645]

It's beautiful.

I live in the Shenandoah Valley =]

Where she is singing about.

[The1RobinHood]

=o Lucky.

[The1RobinHood]

If before you did not believe in angels, you better now!

[The1RobinHood]

1 word: Flawless.

[hottbab326]

OMG! this is sooo pretty! im singing this for my choir concert! but it sounds nothing like this! even i dont sound like this! haha and im seprano 1. which means i sing the highest out of all sapranos

[ipaythursday]

hottbab326:

That just goes to show that not all sopranos are created equal and how truly gifted Haley is.

[hottbab326]

yea. well i can sing that high but the way she sings it, i learned it differently lol :)

[karatepanda13]

Isn't the "One Fine Day" thing from Madame Buttterfly....

Gosh, I wish we could sing this in choir. My choir's singing Bohemian Rhapsody.

[chicklu101]

true that!!

i'm singing it in choir too

and it sounds wayy different

lolz

[hottbab326]

oh really? thats cool lol. i love the way my choir siings it but this is unique.lol

[PutrescentSoul]

[alejandras3]

Eres lo más bello que existe en la tierra y en el cielo ! bella hayley , TU VOZ ES LO MAXIMO !!! ERES TODO PARA MI !! Fantastica !! diera todo por verte y escucharte cantar en vivo !! ojalá algun dia lo pueda hacer . le rezo a dios por verte pronto ..!! t amo !!!

[andjaac]

[singstar1093]

[holywells]

Well, "singstar1093", I wish you all the best of luck in your future. I hope you are able to achieve your goal in life. You can probably gather information about Celtic Woman from their website. You would really enjoy working with David Downes. He is a true genius when it comes to musical arrangements. Again, I do wish you all the best in your future.

[smithstar4]

You're beautiful and so is your voice-Shenandoah is my favorite song and I've never heard it sang so well-

[1957rosarito]

great song !

regards from mexico city

[3dgl0ver]

I hate the show 20/20, but if it wasn't catching a glimpse of the show a few summers ago, I would've never discovered Hayley. I love her!

[Fairy2211]

I love hayley westenra so much

[rosscalverley]

I wish she didn't ruin the song. her vowels are complete shite.

[rynerich]

Your qualification for making this comment please and which song. There are three songs here.

[rosscalverley]

Grade 8 Singing and 8 years Classical Singing. Shenandoah.

[rynerich]

In that case we look forward to your version being posted on youtube for use all to enjoy.

[rosscalverley]

Thats when I find out how to use a video camera...

[bassoonfreak102594]

Saying grade eight doesn't make you a musician. ANYWAYS, she's from Australia. So she has an accent, considering this is an American song.

[ipaythursday]

bassoonfreak102594:

Hayley is a Kiwi(NZ).

[rynerich]

I dont know if you noticed but rosscalverley is also from new zealand. I suspect to him classical means opera. But he is unable to show us how it should be done in his opinion. The opera community in nz cant accept the popularity of Hayley.

[rosscalverley]

I'm only one person and I live in the cultural centre of Alexandra (I'm being slightly sarcastic :D). Alexandra does have a reputation for good singers... Hang on, I do have a recording of me singing Shenandoah... Anyway, I'm not the opera community, there are no operas in my town... Classical doesn't mean Opera to me, I was using Classical in the unlearned sense I guess.

[rosscalverley]

You clearly have no idea what we are talking about... Grade 8 is one step down from your 'letters' which is a internationally recognised degree.

The best way to piss off a Kiwi is to suggest that one of their taonga (treasures) is Austrailan. Here I am talking about the vowels that you sing on... And saying that Hayley's vowels are not what one would expect of such a famous performer.

[bassoonfreak102594]

Ooh, you're right, I didn't :)

[ECSchultz09]

she is actually from New Zealand

[urbisoyer]

wow... bardzo ladnie

[kiaganga]

lovley quim !!!!!!!!

[Asprothecat]

What does quim mean?

[ashbombash]

whats the first song called that she sings in this something about its been seven long years since i saw you

[GoddessHope]

Shenandoah

[VintagexNotions]

The first song is Shenandoah, the second One Fine Day, and the third E Pari Ra.

[princesshunnibun]

i wish i could sing so beatifully:)

[ashbombash]

i luv her voice! where can i find the lyrics to the whole song cos everywhere i look doesnt have the first few lines

[wenglishsal]

Why do stupid people put rude and tasteless comments on here, I don't get it at all... Just comment on the singing person please not sully the site with filth...

[belixita]

wow...she's like an angel

[dirtyhippie7427]

God that was so beautiful. She has a beautiful voice, not to mention the fact that she is gorgeous as well.

[princesshunnibun]

she can really sing thast true

[freedomisgod]

lovely

[biodada]

fantastic

[Besjuh12]

I wish I could sing so beautifully! <3

[malafunksion10]

Angelic voice

[redridervideos]

BEAUTIFUL!

[itscolorful14]

i think that she sings this well, but sounds a little restricted in quite a few parts in the piece.

[telmac899]

What???!!! Piss Off!

[AblazeForGod]

What a beautiful, clean, clear, and supported voice. Very lovely!

[rocksinyourshoe]

I used to sing this song in elementary school with my class. I have been searching and searching for a version of the song, sung the way we used to sing it. This is what I have been looking for. The melody, the voice, it is all so beautiful and I am so glad I have discovered it.

[Get10upya]

she gawjus & bootiful...Much Lurve Pakeha girl.

[upwardprince]

she is good but i dont like that kind of music

[Dolcecinnamon]

I don't see anything wrong with the comment, why so many thumbs down?

[fulfordxray]

one of my fave singers she is!

isn't she cool?!!!!

[3dgl0ver]

She is so beautiful; she's my favorite classical singer!

[w354sed5rf6tgt7yuihj]

ok Azorka82, please stop typing now.. im begging you

[jerry112289]

man she is hot!!!!!

[trafford95]

I agree !!! :)))

[SerenaMoonPrincess]

I sang this song for a concert at my middle school with my choir! It was so pretty I had to hear it again so thx ^~^

[Azorka82]

Pardon my post below for saying this video makes me sick. I'd viewed her 'Scarborough Fair' video and it brought memories of hiking in England. Then came here and it seemed like England. I fell in love with her voice and 1:12-1:15. But as I have Lyme disease, this is the first summer/fall I'm unable to hike. So unconsciously thought "at least I can dream". Then realized this video is not about England and my dream was shattered. Actually brought (brings) tears to my eyes.

[cookiesNrainbows]

why does everyone keep boo'ing your comments?

[Sqid101]

Azorka82, the song Shenadoah is an American folk song, but it's odds on that this video was shot in England. It's a medley of three songs actually, but I'd just about bet the farm that the scenery is English. She's resident in England, her record company is in England, and they'd surely shoot the video in England and if anything was from elsewhere it maybe would be footage from New Zealand. But it all looks English to me.

[Azorka82]

Thank you, Sqid101. Hadn't known Hayley's from England. People here boo'd my personal meltdown, but it's for real. I'm coming to terms with legs going paralyzed from Lyme disease, minor stroke eight months ago from Lyme complications. Hiking the SW Coastal Path of England; Pembrokeshire Coastal Path of Wales; and Cleveland Way in North York Moors years ago was better than thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail (Georgia to Maine). Far more enjoyable, though it's all good.

[Sqid101]

Well, actually, she is originally from New Zealand, but has been resident in London for a few years now. The third song E Pari Ra is a Maori (indigeous people of New Zealand) song. Sorry to hear about your problems.

[Azorka82]

If you've ever wondered what a homeless person is saying when they are muttering to themselves, it can't be much different than my posts here from a public library computer. As inappropriate as it might be, so are three year waiting lists for housing in this wealthiest country on the planet. But that's the extent of my soliloquey. Too bad the song wasn't about England. Thanks for reply....

[Luv2BugULol]

Some may just see text when they look at your words, but I see a sincere person who's been through so much. Please ignore how people are "rating" what you say. You're free to say it and you've done nothing wrong.

I hope and pray you'll be healed and find happiness. You seem to be a gentle angel left to the cruelties of this world. It's not fair but I sincerely hope things will improve for you. Hugs and warm wishes to you...

As for this video. She sounds so lovely. Well done, Hayley! ^^

[Azorka82]

Every time coming back here to answer comments it's hard not to think about how nice this song is. The thumbs down (on previous comments) can be discouraging but I try to remember that the ratings system can be used like anonymous belligerent chat forums. Hostility expressed with no accountability. So taking it personally doesn't seem too logical. But thank you for reply.

[Azorka82]

Sorry. Not much love for Shenandoah or the Missouri River. This video makes me sick. I'm gone. Bye.

[Azorka82]

That wasn't entirely my fault. Yes the title is 'Shenandoah'...but so many of the images look like England. That brings tears to my eyes. What a disappointment. It sure gets lonely out here in cyberspace. Even lonelier now. Damn her to hell. lol

[Azorka82]

Aaaarrrggghhhh! "Shenandoah", "across the wide Missouri River" I think she says. I thought it was about England. Aaaarrrggghhhh! That makes me really, really mad. Breaks my heart, thought she had me there.

[Azorka82]

She's like Clare in the Donovan videos from 'Brother Sun, Sister Moon'.

[Azorka82]

The images look like England. I've hiked all over there, love it so much. And she is so lovely in this video, wish I were there.

[Azorka82]

Beautiful! I love 1:12-1:15.

[declanf2008]

Someone please tell me what is wrong with this video. I posted it to bebo and they threatened to close my account because it was innappropiate. Help??

[mando302]

maybe because it's copyrighted material? as in (C) 2007 Decca Music Group Limited

[wolkowy1]

Beautiful voice and interesting choices of repertoire.

[hyogalovervashsama]

like I said before.... If I was a boy I'll be totally in love with her. her voice is just to much beyond beautiful. makes me feel in heaven

[Lost0Poet]

listening to her sing this song is like the embodiment of everything peaceful, like a crisp quiet autumn day when the leaves are at their brightest.

[rahven27]

i absolutely love her voice, i close my eyes and relax everytime i hear this song. :)

[raverm89]

so pure...so angelic...so beautiful.

amazing voice...

[doorknobmeat9]

Someone should introduce her to my idol 50 Cent. Once you go black you never go back LOL!!! 50s a G and I know nice girls like Haley love bad boys so yeah, they'd get along great. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

[Kuramochi0214]

Fine! So Sweet!

Thanks for post this!

She is very popular in my country Japan.

I have bought the CDs, A New Journey and Heylay sang Japanese POP standards along with my 5th "POST CARD" by Mary Hopkin.

[coronet72]

Such a beautiful voice. Words that you can understand and a great melody. That's singing.

Thanks for posting.

[bigbrorudy]
