Celine and Hayley are both great singers, but i have to say i like Hayley better every time i hear her sing i get goose bumps her voice is that amazing .

[@stevecline7694]

I used to think no one except Celine should ever sing this. The lovely Miss Westenra just proved me wrong. An amazing voice, a stunning vocal.

[@caldogrun]

Haley has one of the most beautiful voices of any female singer on the planet (Known) Her albums "Odyssey" , "Celtic Treasure" and" Paradiso" have so much amazing depth, sensitivity and vocal range and stylings. She must be around 29 now and hitting her peak vocal abilities (Maturing) I hope she never goes the superficial pop route . Love to hear her sing songs of depth and emotion and meaning, irrigardless of the style (Pop/Classical/Folk/Ballads/Jazz/Soul, etc. ) Thanks Haley for your "Musical healing" !

[@Davidkiser13]

She makes me cry cause of her voice and she is truly an angel singing and looks like one. She is SOOOOO amazing. Thank you Groove Shark!!!

[@leomarcarreon1547]

adorable, i love you hayley......!!!!!

[@battlearcade2]

As soon as she began, tears formed, threatening to fall from my eyes. She's pretty and has the voice of an angel.

[@famvelval]

What a beautiful voice, it's precious. May God preserve her voice

As tu déjà entendu parler un ange pour affirmer qu'Hayley a une voix angélique ???? 🤔 🧐

[@tiernandevine2849]

I have heard lots of people singing that song but when she sings that song is literally sends shivers down my spine her dictation is really clear and that is the song I like but I think that is the definitive version there keep up the good work Hayley

[@iRockBilly7]

voice of an angel.i love her voice

[@patrickmoore3515]

What a beautiful voice. Love her gift of song.

[@Pazzeo]

Can't you people just listen and enjoy one of the most beautiful voices on earth, we don't care about your opinions!

[@toja2662]

You should !!!!!!!!

[@joestephens7105]

I am always in wonder and amazement when I hear Hayley interpret a "new" song.

[@jackzhu69]

Hayley's dressing is beautiful.

[@ipaythursday]

Even with the vibrato, Hayley's voice is still purer than Celine's.

[@ajplathwisconsin]

Hayley's voice is more of a soprano voice. She is still just as strong.

[@ZonZorZerx]

She is great, but let's be honest, Celine is still the most skilled of the two. No one sings this one as good as Celine.

[@roberta6641]

nearly a decade later id agree as celines been through some shit to make her voice sound less than perfect like age and helth problems. but at the time this was filmed celine could wipe the floor with this amateurish sounding warbling cat. ive herd some of hayleys stuff and she could have done so mutch better than this that its beyond a joke. this was a serious off day for her and the vibrato just served to make things worse. .

[@sebulbathx]

@@ZonZorZerx What makes Celine different to all or most covers is she is able to tell a message or story and create an atmosphere in the song. Some might sing it better hitting high notes, clarity or whatever but no one I have seen so far has been able to show emotion and to tell the story. It's more they just sing the song very well while Celine performs the song if that makes sense.

[@joseluizengelke5128]

Splenderous Voice. Amazing performance! I am happy for this Voice!

[@beagle7622]

What a beautiful woman I love her dress. Such an impressive voice .A New Zealand accent in her singing voice too .

[@antoniomartinezfrias3146]

Fabulosa Haley!! Angelical voz.

[@tonykong8517]

She is a born singer，so beautiful and natural. I fallen in love with her voice。

[@albertoshiguematsu6921]

Wonderful singer!! A clean, smooth and powerful voice. Very unique.

[@popinfresh]

wow thank you HWI, for uploading this video. When I first heard Hayley's album in 2007, I always though, "She'd sound so beautiful singing my heart will go on" I can die happy!

[@cjrvision]

I am not a Celine fan per se, but Celine's version is majestic and powerful and her style is in a lower register and indomitable on this song. Now Hayley is one of my most favorites with her pure natural voice style, a clean and a true soprano. Even though Hayley is a wisp of woman her opera training allows her to belt it out to match anyone when singing a more classical crossover piece.

[@hayleywestenrafan1]

It's obvious she had a cold here, which probably took a toll on her performance, but she gave it her best shot. Remember, she was invited to sing at this film festival. The Chinese love her. :)

[@lovelycelticopera]

Fantastic performance.

[@Jimfromearthoo7]

Just all around beautiful!😘

[@walterpalmer2749]

Stunningly beautiful and a voice that matches. Angelic.

[@liligibson8457]

Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you That is how I know you go on Far across the distance And spaces between us You have come to show you go on [Chorus] Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on [Verse 2] Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never let go until we're gone Love was when I loved you One true time I hold to In my life we'll always go on [Chorus] Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on [Outro] You're here, there's nothing I fear And I know that my heart will go on We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart And my heart will go on and on

[@frankgarvey2120]

How truly beautiful!

[@deborahbertone9460]

Absolutely beautiful 😘💖

[@rickysebastian6386]

both Celine's version and Hayley's version are good. They just have different voice tone and color, and also different singing technique, so which one is better? you can't say, it's just the matter of taste. IMO Hayley doing a great job singing this song and I can say it's equally good with the original version. Nowadays many recycled songs from old one brought by younger singers, and most of them is very, very bad (one that I remember, Beauty and the Beast, the new one is so fucking shit). But this? This is an awesome job :)

[@hyekang3850]

It's not the matter of your singing technique nor how high-pitched your voice can be. I prefer the opposite when the sound of falsetto gives the feelings of the misty ocean in dawn. Whereever your voice can stay, it is the lyrics that enlivens the music - and this song has that MIRACULOUS SPELL THAT MAKES THE VOICE OF WHOMEVER SINGS IT SOUND BEAUTIFUL AND HEAVENLY. It is the chosen words that make the sound, and that's not what the most of other songs have. This song is not for any contest nor competition - that's cheesy childish! If one thinks then they will have to get the sound of HEART first that this lyrics have. There is a lot of great voice on KZbin but I haven't seen many singers who gave the sound of hart that fully vibrates like a sigh in the frozen sea, or like the feelings of the sapphire necklace slipped from that old frail lady's hand. Please sound more like sighing breaths heard when the lady was near and far from the lover in the frozen sea, like the vibe of heartbeat becoming weaker and stronger.

[@hyekang3850]

The voice is the life of music. But the spirit that still respires in the words is the elixir of music.

[@keepingitreel...8037]

@@hyekang3850 ~ I agree the Lyrics are important to a song. But, one's voice is what draws the ear of people listening, and inspires them to attend concerts, or purchase records. You could pick the top ten song lyric writers in the world, along with the top composers, to collaborate on one, most beautiful song ever to be written, and it would still suck if I were the vocalist chosen to sing it! On the other hand, Celine, or Hayley could sing words from an encyclopedia and still sell records and fill concert halls. . .

Just wonderful

[@benconners713]

Hayley sings this song like she just lost someone she loves. Celine sings this son like she's looking back on someone she lost years ago.

well in Celine's case that is true

i absolutely loved the song when i first heard the original version but i never liked celine dion's but hayley sounds PERFECT and i love this song even more now!! wouldnt hav even noticed the slip up unless i read that comment hayley is amazing

Une pureté incroyable. Bien supérieure à la l'interprétation enflée d'orgueil de cette grande sauterelle qu'est Céline Dion !

[@andrerox08]

Hayley é incrivel! Que voz!

[@grahamcroome2109]

Another classic.............different but a beautiful rendition.......

[@MrTigerprincess]

I am a tremendous fan of Haley, When I found her on youtube I could not believe my fortune of finding her. I watched her in Celtic Women and thought I could not believe how she even outperfomed even their beautiful voices. She has outdone every singer I have heard her cover. Here however she is good but does not improve on Celine. The original singer is many times not as good as others who follow and have time and the advantage of critiquing the original to improve on it. Celine however on this song created a standard that can not be improved upon or even matched.

[@Sleepinglily]

Without Celine we wouldn't have this song...

[@karlbeilstein8774]

No one owns a song. There are many great renditions of it, some better than others, but all or most are excellent!!!

[@franku9466]

Great singer

[@geri0756]

Wunderschön.

[@bernardjablonski174]

in the context of the movie scene Haleys version evokes the sadness of the moment

[@emiliocueva2073]

👏👏MAGNÍFICA 👏👏

[@toylady50]

Hayley has a beautiful voice and I enjoy listening to her sing. In my opinion though, she can't hold a candle to Celine Dion in singing this song. Even the best singer in the world can't sing every single song and do them all justice.

[@LarryTaint-qn8pd]

I swear that woman is an angel from heaven.

[@likedayrain]

IS so very good

[@hanggeng7269]

Out of the 3 Brit/Irish ladies(HAYLEY, CHLOE AGNEW, CHARLOTTE CHURCH), Hayley Westenra is the BEST not only in terms of VOICE/PITCH, NOTES INTONATIONS, but also in terms of LANGUAGES!! She can sing in over 6 different languages!!(Chinese, Japanese korean Italian Latin Spanish, French) in addition to English!! So she is always my fav SINGER

[@hughhuang9815]

The condition on that time is so simple, which is not proper for an artist like her, but her performance has overcome all of those problems.

[@puddingmaster2]

I prefer when Hayley does classical pieces. She just doesn't have a pop voice. She shines when she sings amazing opera and classical songs.

[@Bubbazzone]

grande Hayley.

[@SYBERBOB777]

ヘイリーの歌声は、いつも感動的ですね！

[@AndyinMelbourne]

WOW :)

[@MEAVROX]

I know Hayley's music well enough to state that I know she is purposely holding back power wise on this piece, Hayley actually does have power in her voice-just marvelously controlled. Celine has a tendency to over-sing the higher notes as is common with many pop stars, As for range...I would say they are on about equal ground. again, there is something to be said about not overdoing it.

[@rextravers8054]

[@holywells]

This is a nice version of the song although her vibrato seemed a bit over paced in cadence. A 13 year old soprano prodigy has an emotional and graceful performance of it, and she is considered by many to be the epitome of involvement in the music. Young Jackie Evancho sings this song at her live concerts, with one of the best versions done at her concert in Seattle on 9/15/12. The videos of it are here on KZbin. A duet with Miss Evancho and Miss Westenra would be great to hear.

[@patlao7678]

The only complaint that I could come up with is not really a complaint at all. Hayley Westenra did a beautiful rendition here, but the conductor should have slowed it down a bit.

[@zevkramer6154]

I agree. She was lovely. It was about 3 beats too fast

Maria F; Masters give us music, like this classic. But just think about what God has given us - eternal life. And Jesus Christ sang! Psalm 118; Matthew chap 26: verse 30! The night before he offered himself for all of our sins! Believe by faith these God blessed truths... - Isaiah chapter 7: verse 14; Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign; Now, a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and call him by the name of Emmanuel. (Hebrew means: God מָּנוּאֵל, "God with us," in human flesh, like a man, but without sin) - John 3: 16 For God loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 17 God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world; but the world through Him can be saved. - John 14: 6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me." - “All have sinned and lack the glory of God.” Romans chapter 3: verse 23 - "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans chapter 6: verse 23 - “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and he was buried, and on the third day he was resurrected according to the scriptures” 1 Cor. 15: 3-4 - “In which we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace”; Ephesians. 1: 7 - Romans 10: "9 that if you confess through the mouth of the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For you believe in righteousness with your heart, and with your mouth confession is made for salvation. 13 For whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." - "Therefore, since we were justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5: 1 - “Salvation, the forgiveness of sins, is available to everyone who will trust Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Those who reject the free gift of salvation (see John 3: 16-17 above) according to the gospel of Jesus Christ will be punished for their sins and forever separated from God and the Family of God on earth and in heaven forever. - " But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whore mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Revelation 21:8
