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 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
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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'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)
@@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.
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 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 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.
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!!
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
САМОЕ ПРЕВОСХОДНОЕ исполнение этой песни - на несколько порядков выше, чеv с Sarah Bridhtman - ИМХО :-) Прекрасный и нежный колокольчик голоса Hayley Westenra изумительно сочетаестся с великолепным тенором Andrea Bocelli и проникает в самые глубины души и сердца - BELLISSIMA !!!
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.
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..
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!
Espetacular apresentação dos cantores e maravilhosa a performance dos bailarinos do gelo, um grupo super entrosado!!!!!!COMO NÃO PODE FICAR PARA TRÁS , A MÚSICA JÁ SUPER CONSAGRADA, CON TE PARTIRO'.....GRATIDÃO!!!!BELÍSSIMO ESPETÁCULO!!!!!!JANE ,SÃO PAULO , BRASIL!!!!!!
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.
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.
One of the most amazing voices ever to sing with Celtic Woman. The song is as beautiful as Haley is.

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.
They are both magnificent. Two of the greatest singers of all time!! I love them both.
A beautiful performance by my favorite crossover tenor and soprano. Gave me chills all over.
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.
Andrea, Hayley and the Ice Skating group. What a magnificent combination. Most beautiful singing and skating. What a joy to see and hear.
HOW AWESOME SUCH TALENT BEAUTY AND GRACE. GOD GAVE THESE PEOPLE SUCH WONDERFUL GIFTS.
Sarah is such a ham. Glad to see and hear someone just sing the song.

Without a doubt ,one of the best voices ever!! and Boccellis not bad either.
Lol
She has the most amazing voice i've heard in a looooong time!
No words, just goosebumps and awe❤❤❤
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
That's true!!!!
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.
This is something that makes my tears flow. Just amasing in every way.
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.
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
God, what a pair to do a duet...Magnificent...Gives me chills...
Absolutely brilliant....LOVE IT!!! It was Awesome....Well Done Andrea and Hayley, another great New Zealand Talent!!!
Hayley is a lovely singer I have been listening to her for many years the voice of an angel.
Hayley is still young and learning her craft.
but the voice 'c'est magnifique'
Go kiwi girl!!!!
Love this version wish I could find a CD or recording of it. they are both spectacular!!!!!!
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)
Brilliant performance. Perfection. Another successful performance by Hayley Westenra. Andrea Bocelli did well, too.
Wow love this version We are so fortunate to have this talent from these people. I love it ❤
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.
Those who can, do, those who can't criticize.
I know right?
just enjoy one of the finest voices in the world. I love both Sarah and Haley, no judgements please.
That was a big hit in '97 in Europe when it came out! Good memories!
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!
I think Hayleys voice is very clear......
I think she did GREAT!!!!!
go kiwi!!!!
she is simply amazing!!!!
Such a lovely song and beautifully sung by HAyley and Andrea. I am so proud of Hayley representing Aotearoa (New Zealand) Tau Ke! (awesome!)
