Russell Watson & Hayley Westenra

[@elenorenowack3544]

This is just such wonderful song and two absolut gifted singers.

[@mothmagic1]

I first heard this song when I was a lad of about 12 and it has always stuck in my mind. It's the kind of simple yet joyful tune that is hard to forget.

[@ImYourGreatestFan]

English bloke... Fantastic singer... He has done really well to survive two brain tumours in the recent past. Russell Watson is the name. Respect to real hero... Get well soon!

[@elizabethdevera6502]

[@maureenbuchan9436]

I like Hayley am a Kiwi . A couple of years back i visited the UK and Hayley came on TV and sung Pokekare ana , a song i knew well . But hearing it so far from home was amazing .

[@JonnoD00]

Hayley Westenra is outstanding.Her voice sends shivers up the spine and tears to the eyes.What an outstanding talent.

[@Sunkist161]

This concert saved my life back when I was in highschool

[@stgdrbob]

[@jayden2ful]

Russell Watson has never claimed to be an opera singer,he is a tenor plucked from obscurity with no formal classical training.has a great range of voice and sings in so many different styles.the people's tenor because of his humble background and just a hell of a nice grounded guy!continues to have voice coaching and is just fantastic.continued good health Russell

[@daleninmann]

These are two of my favorite singers. I enjoy each of them individually but I enjoy them even more togther. The combination is quite unique and thrilling.

Two beautiful voices making stunningly beautiful music.

[@perpetual61]

she has a voice like an angel, the first time i watched it i cried,i wish they would have sang it on either of their cds, they both are very talented..

[@littlebadboy2k8]

Her voice is so astounding

[@maryanndragoo2977]

I love this!

[@1970brenz]

I was there too, lovely evening and this was my favourite song, very special moment...

[@stormdoor7]

Hayley is from Christchurch New Zealand and the native language there is Mauri(sp). Pokare Kare Ane is a Mauri love song about someone gone to sea, leaving their loved one behind.

[@maureenbuchan9436]

MAORI

[@elStarvingArtist]

oh....my....god, that last note was AMAZING.

[@loriesera]

Such a beautiful voice!! And she's so young here!

[@phoenixrising427]

absolutely beautiful -- we are blessed to be able to hear this

[@rockshe1]

I just love this two ❤️👍👍❤️

[@powerfulwords]

Wow, I'll never tire of this song, nor of it sung in a duet like this - beautiful!

[@inetuse]

Hayley Westenra delivers the song with such ease and beauty while you can hear Russell tries to catches some breath and moving microphone away. Russell is terrific but Hayley's performance is beyond this world. You can tell too that Russell is just as enchanted by her voice as the fans.

[@chizzywoo]

Two of my fav` classical singers on one stage! Magic

[@stephenfarthing1522]

I did it! At St Martin's Church in Knowle in Bristol after the last service with our last Vicar - I surprised her but also I surprised myself! Doing it Acappela - I got it right!😊

[@황남진-t3t]

beautiful. heavenly.

[@ninikusumo]

the choire's singing gives me the chill..also the last part of the duet!

[@mauricehill8921]

Just awesome 👏👏👏

[@YoSerio]

Such a wonderful interpretation of a wonderful song!!!

[@TearsForLosers]

Russell Watson is really charming..Both of them sang really well!

[@pattimuse1]

Simply gorgeous!

[@leedelph]

This Concert was in Auckland,new Zealand in February 2002.

[@diddymitch]

[@MaryGadsby]

[@allisonsmith4839]

Beautiful

[@Jonboz77]

Brilliant!!!!

[@rynerich]

Hayley and Russell repeated this performance at the opening ceremony of the World Games in Kaoshuing, Taiwan on 16 July 2009. Amazing.

[@sparkyslove]

Amazing....

[@kelhapam]

Very nice, thank you for providing this.

[@sonho1234]

WOW!!! Perfect.

[@lucabauer]

Fantastic!

[@sevenninems]

Still in love with him!

[@davidallen508]

They both sing with heart and soul ; so unfair that Dame Kiri once belittled Hayley and singers like her.

[@seasidesandles]

Abinator Can you prove it? It's a very beautiful song. Russell is very poorly and we want him to recover. Very quickly! We pray for him.

[@javinnelaureen]

I really like those voices. Hope they sing together again

[@rynerich]

perpetual61. This song is on the DVD of this concert as well as Hayley's performance of I Dreamed A Dream.

[@Meowmie707]

Russel has been around awhile. I have his "The Voice" CD and have had it for many years. You have been missing out, check him out singing "Bridge Over Trubles Waters" with Sissel! AWESOME!

[@sharnomac]

Watson's note at 3.02 meltingly perfect!

[@Spacepen2002]

Speachless

[@sallyrichards99]

Please don't ever take this video down. It was the last one I watched before she passed away. so very special to me. Thank you

[@louloubelle1330]

Sally Eaton Richards what do you mean passed really? What from

[@lauramarcelabermudezschmed575]

Who passed away?

[@mysticdragonwolf89]

Hayley is still alive. Russel Watson is also still alive.

[@stephenfarthing1522]

I CAN do it!!! Message to Russell, Hayley and Aled. I would love to tag this with ' Beauty from Brokenness ' I know I can - and I WANT to. Even if it's the tween verse. I can do it. I believe that the particular hymn is appropriate and apt! Aled, Russell and Hayley - I want to give it the best go - possible!

[@lenaraphael9053]

love it!

[@operababe1000]

great vidio

[@monitoev16]

Perfect

[@mrimready]

@perpetual61 Yes, they did. On Russell's CD "OUTSIDE IN" (2007) Hayley sings with him 'Time To Say Goodbye'. I'm not sure, but I think that there is a video of this duet, here on KZbin. You'll like it.

[@BFPINHO]

Obrigado por compartilhar

[@Sqid101]

He is expressing his appreciation. And trying to be charming and encourging I suppose. He said just before they sang this that he hadn't sung it before. It's on KZbin.

[@stephenfarthing1522]

Arnold - Let's get this corrected. My intentions is to show that there's a very strong sympathy to the people of New Zealand. As the leading nation of the British Commonwealth I feel I have a duty to ratify that fact and so back up the New Zealand people to that end. I see that as a moral obligation and so am determined to do so! You have explained this in the way that you want to see it. I believe that the obligation goes further - a great deal further in fact! I will master Pokarekare Ana and I will do so - any way I can !

[@stephenfarthing1522]

Russell Watson did the best. And wonderfully astute. I'm trying to find the original piece on either CD or DVD - Where he sung it with Haley Westerna!

[@perpetual61]

I know I have the Dvd I only wish they would have done a Duet on either of their Cds.

[@Sonnie0325]

In their defense, I think Hayley was only 13yrs. old at the time...not bad for kid. Before they sang this song (a part not included in this clip), that he's never sung the song before, and Hayley mentioned that she'd never sung it as a duet. So all things considered, it's a great performance.

[@alexmagnum18]

Wow!!

[@JonnoD00]

sensational

[@indah007]

You miss it all - it was to portray both their voices - and that was the start and end. But they clicked and the result was great. Peace for Christmas and may your new year bring half as much as I want from mine. Sorry

[@walkindalight]

If singing well is a requirement for entry into heaven, alot of people are gunna miss out - big time!!! And there will be some nasty characters there as well. I think I like the way it's already set up - trust God, and we'll all sing beautifully when we get there. :D

[@lavenderscent12]

russell watson is so handsome. Hayley is beautiful. I think Hayley and Russell should date toether.

[@TheWolfsennin]

If you type ss before the youtube part in the url you can download it

[@slebkuecher]

I agree with you Sqid101, I don't see any help coming from Russell and Hayley certainly didn't need any help.

[@Sqid101]

Look, I like Russell, he's a character, and I'm not saying that Hayley would never need help. But the last song on earth she'd need help with is Pokarekare Ana. By the time they are about 13 all Kiwis have sung that song a zillion times. At first Russell stands there stiff like a dummy and smiles and nods when she smiles at him. I don't see how he is being a help.

[@Clytia]

@mariannekallekoedd Someone commented that he was only 35 when he recorded this clip but.....aww....he still looks good. :)

[@stephenfarthing1522]

I want to learn this - so I can send my own best wishes to the people and communities of New Zealand after the horrible events on the 15th of March. I think that a little bit of help is needed - to do so! And so. RSDG - can you help out ?

[@arnoldamaral7406]

Stephen Farthing Hello Stephen I understand your concern my friend. But did you know that every hour 60000 people die of starvation. The problems too big for us to handle my friend. All in God's due time. Sincerly Arnold Bourbon Amaral Revalation 21--1--4. Psalms. 37--10--30. 🌍🌏🌎🌿📖

[@scwlim]

I see, thanks for the explanation.

[@sherp2u1]

Excuse my ignorance , but what language is that? They would make a beautiful couple...

[@Sqid101]

Actually, of course, he's about 41 now and she is 20. But he's married and it seems to be quite happily so. If he was a bit younger and unmarried then it may not be a bad idea.

[@ian9707]

Can someone please please translate this song. Is the meaning as beautiful as it sounded

[@zhanglin3265]

Her Hair!

[@jayden2ful]

clarification on the no formal training.it was meant to indicate he didn't train at the recognized classical seminaries.thank god he didn't.

[@Clytia]

Holy crap!! Russell is 40+ but he looks only 26-27 to me!!!!

[@emster93]

the duet? b/c the song is on her cd Pure, from 2003

[@anirockinlove]

omfg! she is SOOOO skinny & her voice is angelic

[@luvbite1]

@arpeggio1358 Pop performers?? Are you serious? Never heard pop singers hit notes like that.

[@scwlim]

What does Pokare kare Ana means?

[@elenthirI]

dove posso trovare gli spartiti di russell watson sopprattotto someone like you?

[@mariannekallekoedd]

@Clytia Nah, was more thinking about his hairstyle.. :p Lol XD

[@Sqid101]

I'm sort of sorry I said he stands there like a dummy. He nods and smiles at one stage in approval, and they exchange smiles/grins on occasions. There stagecraft is that of an x-pub/club singer and an x-street busker; they work it out as they go along, but this just makes it more charming.

[@gbnz53]

Hayley would have only been aged 14 here. Nice duet.

[@trudestiny00]

bless susan boyle
