what is simple and pure is always adorable. Hayley got second place for a purpose, everybody knows she got the first place anyway. i like the irish accent :)
And 17 years later she is doing her own concerts right through NZ to sell out crowds. I saw her this week - fantastic and such a lovely down to earth young lady.
It's all there, even when Hayley was just 7! Perfect pitch, legato like a laser, power to fly to the moon. Since, Hayley has grown into a wonderful young woman with astonishing talent - and she keeps growing still. Way to go, Hayley, you are a blessing and an inspiration to the world.
Very cute.... but my oh my hard to imagine this little girl is now one of the hottest Classical Crossover Artist on the Planet! ....I just can't believe that at over 20yrs old and so gorgeous and sexy she was ever this little girl and to be so beautiful with such a fabulous voice is even more hard to imagine! :D .....I imagine she has to still beat the boys off with big stick. lol.... but being my young age, I'd still be trying at least!!!
wudve been the most epic ownage if she told the crowd to shut up...and i bet that guy knows how to say her surname now lmao...did he used to host what now?
@pcollinsnz It was a container on the back of a truck set up in the school ground for a stage. This was just the local primary school fair and fundraiser.
that is very cute, i love her kiwi accent coming through when she says ben and it sounds like "bean"! my mum has a strong kiwi accent and it reminded me of when she would tell me to go to "bead" LOL!!
@stoneytheclown My names Ben and I have the same problem. As a NZer living in Australia people think I'm saying 'Bean' when I'm introducing myself. lol Btw, Haley was pitch perfect - even at 7years old.
Just for a change of pace from people brought here by Susan Boyle, I was brought to this clip by Connie Talbot. Hadn't actually heard of Haley before; I know comparisons are futile given the subjective nature of this sort of thing but I really do think Connie is a better singer at seven than Haley when she was seven though I admit Haley is not singing under ideal conditions here.
There's two voices... did she lack confidence, and sang along accompanying a previously recorded rendition? I too find it hard to believe it's her. Wish there was a closeup. Her face might be more recognisable than her voice!
She's really cute, and already at the age of 14 she was an excellent singer, but I can't say she was at the age of 7. I'm a big fan of Hayley, but that was just awful (but then again, if people encouraging her back then made her the singer she is now, I'm not complaining).
Knowing where Haley is professionally now, it's hard to believe how LOUD the crowd was, virtually covering her up. I would have a hard time singing over all that noise.
Hayley is now a beautiful and talented singer, so whatever will Connie Talbot be like when she becomes adult, because if you watch her at the same age (in fact possibly younger)you will be astounded.
A big point missed is that Hayley came second - undeterred or maybe even because of that second place she rose to stardom, plenty of help from her Mum who we hope was not making the video.
What an inconsiderate audience. Is it because it's a child that they think it's acceptable to talk all the way through her performance? Or is it just because they're unthinking idiots?
Well done though. I can't imagine that many 7-year-olds would have been able to see that song through as she did.
@jonajsil many videos on youtube are like this. I don't think the talking is actually that loud. Handheld cameras tend to pick up the sound closest to them, so the crowd probably sound a lot more inconsiderate than they really were and the camera picked up the sound of them talking more than the sound from the stage.
@jonajsil I hate when I go to performances and NO ONE respects the person performing. Talking and going about their business. Like Jeez, this is a PERFROMANCE. You want to be rude, please go somewhere else.
@jonajsil I totally agree with your sentiments. I also noticed that they were walking around as well. Mind you, she had the last laughs, look where she is now. Ps, why did the person holding the camera not keep it still and why did he/she have to play with the zoom half way through?
A SECRET so sneaky for Susan Boyle uses to make us cry. Just watch 140 Tubarc - Susan Boyle Secret Code for Weeping. Give me a feedback if you were smart enough to get it . . ..
I have a suggestion for those who thought we MUST know this singer otherwise we live in a cave: Please please make a full list of the singers, dancers, or whatever, who performed in front of your queen (and you need to update this list often), and post it worldwide, so that we narrow-minded people can learn these names and avoid being labeled as a caveman. Thanks.
oh my life...did i miss the memo about saying that susan boyle bought me here? the last 8 videos i have watched have those comments...just look at her though, a great voice even at that age, and still brilliant today : )
If not because of Susan Boyle, we wouldn't know Hayley (I still don't know who she is; I bet she is not world-famous) and wouldn't even check out this video, which was listed in the related videos section.
She is world famous. You must have been living in a cave. At the age of 21 she has already performed in front of the Royal family, in fact, she actually sang thrice in front of the Queen within the span of a week.

Sorry this may hurt you but I still can't remember (and don't bother to do so) this singer's name. I have no interest in her. Just because people don't know some singers doesn't mean they live in a cave. I bet if I mention some names, you wouldn't be able to know them if you are not interested in their areas; but I won't say you live in a cave.
Don't always assume that the whole world should care about an English-speaking singer like her, and think otherwise people live in a cave.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
For your knowledge, very few people whose native language is NOT English knows this singer. It's a cultural difference; it has nothing to do with how people live their lives.
Royal family? Queen? Give me a break! I think you regard this as a high status or achievement (it's understandable all of a sudden when I saw you are probably from Singapore). Sorry I don't buy it. A lot more people in the world have nothing to do with the Royal family or the Queen.
hayley westenra is amazing . . a very talented singer!
you never realize that the royal family plays important role . . the world today is the product of the british empire . . and british empire is belongs to the royal family . . Queen plays important role in goverment as well as in commonwealth . .

For people who think British still rules the world: You don't live in a cave; you live in the 18th century.
For people from countries that were once ruled by British, and are still proud to be ruled, I feel sorry for you. You are missing out so many things in the world!
I only agree with one thing you said: open your mind as well as your eyes; see the big change of the whole world.
Your queen is not my queen. And I am sure she is not the queen of the world's largest and most populous country (if you don't know which country I am referring to, you are way too narrow-minded).
I'm not british nor from the english speaking country. I admire their contribution to make the better world.
there is no country in the world which is the largest AND most populous. the world largest country is Russia and most populous country is China. which one you mean?
seems you don't really clear with what you said or . . oh I'm so sorry may be you are not really well educated . . think before you speak.
I strongly believe the caveman like you always said is resemble yourself.

Many people were brought here because of Susan Boyle. This is a FACT. Take it or leave it. Don't people have the right to express their thoughts, as long as they are not offensive?
Those who couldn't bear that their goddess was not recognized by everyone in the world surely have the right to complain as well. However, they went too far to defend their dearest queen or the so-called royal family, which only showed their own narrow-mindedness.
She may be world famous - in the world of singers and/or English-speaking people. I never heard of her, until i found her version of "I dreamed a dream" while listening to the 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Misérables.
And i do not live in a cave or lack culture or anything.
Meiroh. Hayleys latest album Hayley Sings Japanese Songs 2 debuted at No 16 in the Japanese charts and since has reached as high as No 10. She was also named in December 2007 as the biggest selling classical artist of the 21st century. Hayleys appeal is universal with the exception of th US where bland formula musc seemd to dominate.
Don't get me wrong, i wasn't saying she's not a true artist (as an adult) :)
But i don't think she is that famous, really. Do you know the amateur sentai series "France Five" ? Well, it's well-known (and liked ^^) in Japan. Yet, in France no one knows them...
It's the same here : she may be a great artist, but she is definitely not worldwide famous, and it's not only about US ;) (please don"t answer "France is known for not knowing anyone but themselves", uh ^____^)
Good point! Just because people don't know your favorite singer (in a specific culture or dominated by a specific language) doesn't mean people are narrow-minded or cavemen. Even if I don't know any famous singers in the world, it simply means I am not interested in singing or music, nothing else.
As Merioh said, this singer sings well (and yes, as an adult), but not as famous as you fans think. When fans get too crazy speaking for their goddess, things become ugly.
Obviously a proud mummy moment here, its a pity the crowd kept chatting as she was singing. I would be furious if I were trying to video my daughter and this happened. Have a little diva in our household too, but nothing Hayley. We think she is amazing, all the best xx
it sounds horrid cause the vid was made in crowds and a tape is playing with her to sing along. But you can hear she already is a very talented 7-year old!!!
what is simple and pure is always adorable. Hayley got second place for a purpose, everybody knows she got the first place anyway. i like the irish accent :)

Obviously a proud mummy moment here, its a pity the crowd kept chatting as she was singing. I would be furious if I were trying to video my daughter and this happened. Have a little diva in our household too, but nothing Hayley. We think she is amazing, all the best xx

Hayley's lovely but check out the up-and-coming Italian tenor, GIANLUCA PAGANELLI. He's fantastic, so humble and absolutely gorgeous!x
