Hayley Westenra Video Reviews

As promised, I'm going to write reviews of two Hayley videos.
The first one is called "Tsubomi".  It's off of her album "Hayley Sings Japanese Songs 2".  I don't have it but how I wish I did for I just love this song!



I absolutely love this song and video.  She's so pretty and the setting is gorgeous!  I really love her voice on this song.  The color of her dress goes so well with the flowers in the video (I know, leave it to a girl to notice that;)).  One thing I love about this video is that she's always smiling, I like that in a singer :)  So yeah, everything about this song and video is perfect.  By far, my favorite Hayley video, possibly my favorite Hayley song as well.

The next video is her and a singer dude, Jonathan Ansell.  I love this song but don't know if I can find it anywhere.



I do really love this song but I have a problem with it as well.  That problem is Jonathan Ansell (no offense to the guy, I'm sure he's a nice dude).  In my opinion, he doesn't have the best voice for this song and I don't find it very impressive either.  I'm most likely wrong here, but when he sings, I don't see real emotion.  To me, it seems like he's trying too hard.  Whereas you can hear the emotion in Hayley's voice, and see it on her face, and even in the way she kind of moves around.  It's a beautiful song and, once again, I love her dress :)  She has such power in her voice in this song, like the lyrics really mean something to her.  He just kinda stands there and moves his head and closes his eyes every now and then.  The young guy that I think would have the best voice to sing with her (even though it would be kinda weird for him to sing it) is Josh Groban.
So yeah, I don't mean to insult ole Johnny boy or anything, but I just don't care for his voice. 
I told Chris that I think it's like he's thinking, "Oh, I need to be like Hayley and show some emotion here" but he doesn't do a very good job at it.  I don't know, that's just my opinion.
I love the song and Hayley is just awesome in this video! 

I suppose that's all for now.  See you peeps later!

God bless and keep you!
Grace be with you!
