gerry. You are right. She never was. Kiri is still the best singer there. As for Yulia, it takes a while to understand her style. She has quite a deep voice. Hayley is immediately appealing.

That performance was gorgeous, so is the singer. Hayley Westenra is no longer the best singer in New Zealand.

(If you don't agree, then it's a matter of taste which does not require flame comments.) :-)

The piano and strings are gorgeous. I enjoyed them more than her vocals. She's actually quite annoying! Her phrasing is off. Also, when the moduIation occurs, she totally drops the ball. She didn't "bring it home." was pleased when she stopped singing a allowed the orchestra to play. Pretty lady, though.

Marry me! Your voice is so gorgeous!

Excellent voice, but I do like the Three Degrees version of this song.

All I have to say Is I've had the pleasure of communicating with Yulia for several months and I would say that she is one of the sweetest more gracious people I have ever met. There are many who would criticize but even so one cannot deny talent when they see it :) I think she's amazing and I think she will continue to have a great career :)

I love her enthusiasm, but she didn't stay in charachter until the music was done...

[GospelAccording2ME]

The instrumental arrangement is brilliant. The vocalist isn't bad, but I don't think she did the song justice. With live musicians creating such a beautiful soundtrack, I think any seasoned vocalist would have been inspired to give us more.

Thank you, xisanadu, for your kind words. I do appreciate what you mean by Yulia retaining "raw charm". It is possible, I believe, to be over-trained for popular songs, which is why some opera singers don't do well at them.

It was my intention though to emphasise Yulia's natural talent rather than imply she needed polishing. My instrumentalist friend who has heard many singers of different types rates Yulia technically as good as Hayley, despite Yulia not having had the same training!

Hello, Mate!!!!!! Dear, Sqid, Thank You very much for Your very interesting and helpful Report!!!!!! If It's True, We thank Godness for Both Yulia Herself and us who awaiting for the "Merge of Another Sarah Brightman (Though I know both type of Voice Quality are different)" from Sub-Equator!!!!!!!!!!

As You said, Sqid, Yulia's Enormous "Raw" Talent should be "polished" more!!!!!!

But on the other hand, I also want Her to retain some raw Charm which attract us and differenciate Her from Others!
