We all know just how brilliant Nikki is, but sometimes we overlook how good a singer Darren is, and this combination is sublime.

[@LilyButterfly1000]

I’ve never overlooked him 😉😍 … his voice is amazing. He’s pretty much up there with my favourite male vocalist of all my 52 years ☺️

[@NikkiKosmiderHeuskes]

♥️♥️♥️🙏🏽

[@Roland_Rohrle]

For me, Nikki’s performance of Magic at the Thebby last year was magical and Darren’s performance of Crazy at The Bridgeway was amazing. This is right up there with those…

I didn't think it possible that Nikki could get even better, but after listening to this for the fourth time, there is no doubt. And she and Darren mesh and compliment each other perfectly. Please keep the music coming! The world is a better place because of it.

Thank you Aows, for your appreciation of my video shooting and editing work. I'm very grateful. The work of a videographer is rarely noticed, so when it is, it spurs us on, just like the artists in front of the camera.

[@Michael-9275]

Love the style of this video! And although I'm sure the (superb!) vocals we hear were done from separate mic's, for production purposes, this was a nice re-creation of Darren and Nikki singing together :) And as many others have said here, love, LOVE the vocals! Nikki's range and accuracy are, as always, amazing. But this is one of THE best performances by Darren that I've heard. And that is saying something, considering that he was my favorite vocalist and member of HSCC....and it wasnt even close :) Such heart and personality in his work. AMAZING combo, the two of you, Nikki !!!

I stopped following hscc after you two left. So looking forward to this upcoming performance !

[@HQBergeron]

I have occasionally watched HSCC whereas before, I would watch every week. But their quality has dropped noticeably since Nikki and Darren have been gone. Kat Jade is a talented singer but is young and lacking the maturity and performance value that Nikki brings. And Darren is so versatile, with his singing, keyboards and of course mixing. Con failed to recognize what these two brought to HSCC. But I am so glad to see Nikki every chance possible and Darren is a great bonus. Will you be doing more videos together?

[@petelilley8121]

@@HQBergeron Totally agree. I still think that HSCC put out some great videos, but the sparkle has gone since Darren & Nikki left.

[@Zeus_a_Gentle_Staffie]

Couldn’t agree more. Took the words right out of my mouth.

[@andyp90210]

Why did they leave? What’s the story?

[@HQBergeron]

@@andyp90210 All involved seem to have agreed to only say they are no longer with HSCC. So we can only guess. My guess 😁 is anyone who says anything else would get sued for damages by the party they spoke about. I suspect Con Delo was either difficult to work for or was not sufficiently sharing the KZbin proceeds with Darren and Nikki who were doing much of the work and drawing the fans, respectively. But who knows. Bands break up for many reasons all the time.
