To my Kiwi pals! (Hayley Westenra - What an Angel!)

[PADDY]

I just adore this girl and at only 19 years, she is just amazing with that voice of hers. Just thought I'd share some of the delights of this young lady from New Zealand.



Pokarekare Ana (a traditional Maori piece that is just beautiful).

She's very, very big back home Paddy and rightly so, she has the voice of an angel.

She's also done very well internationally and seeing as we're such a small country us Kiwis always get a kick when one of ours makes his or her mark on the world.

I actually couldn't listen to Pokarekare Ana, it makes me awfully homesick.

obnoxious yank butting in here....that last one...wow. i love it. she's no dame kiri te kanawa (but i am biased towards opera *swoons* so don't pay any attention to me)...but she certainly has a very pure and sweet voice. i'd buy a CD!
