Hey all from Hayley and Orlagh! We're wondering .... well, as stated in the subject! LOL! :) :D

Le gra always!

Love them all but Scarborough Fair is the absolute favorite :D

It's so hard to decide! Hayley had so many good ones! But from the list I chose Prayer.

Where is Both Sides Now? That is my favorite, but I say a very very close second is, and I dont know where this one is either......Amazing Grace. Hayley does this so well for the opening at the World Games in 09 in Taiwan. I really really love her voice when she sings popular music like Both Sides Now. Does anyone know which of her cd's has the best of her work in this style of music?

I wasn't familiar with CW when Hayley was alternating with Meav so.... quick question: Did Hayley sing Meav's part in At The Ceili?

Yes, she did. Chloe did Meav's part a couple times, too I think.

Hmmm, of the ones on that list, I would probably pick Pokarekare Ana.  But if I'm allowed to pick any Hayley songs, I would have a 4-way tie between What You Never Know, Summer Rain, She Moved Through the Fair, and Never Saw Blue.  :)

Also, the version of May It Be on her solo DVD is excellent.  And finally, I adore the moment near the end of Scarborough Fair on the Slane DVD when Hayley puts her hands above her heart and closes her eyes... absolutely beautiful. :)

From the list my favorite is Wuthering Heights

Scarborough Fair !!!! This is the first song I've listen by Hayley and I really love it

Scarborough Fair, I've cried hearing that before.

I voted for Scarborough Fair, though "Across the Universe of Time" has a very special meaning to me. Wuthering Heights is great, too.

I would say Summer Rain followed closely by Summer Fly.

Some of my other favorite includes I Believe and Hana from HSJS1 :D (thought i let everyone know ;D)

I really love all her songs. But lately I have been hung up on "across the universe of time" with her sister Sophie!

Scarbourough fair :D its so lovely :D

Scarborough Fair (ANJ version) was my favorite on the list--followed very closely by her rendition of May it Be. ;)

My favorite songs from her are unfortunately not on the list though. :(  I like a lot of her songs, but my absolute favorites are Across the Universe of Time, Listen to the Wind, I Believe (from her Japanese album), Never Saw Blue, and Sei Con Me (duet with Paul Potts). 

I loved her rendition of Scarborough Fair. Of course I was around when Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle it in the early 70's. Like Hayley's take on it better.

I picked Scarborough Fair from the ones you have. I also love the Prayer! I love Who Painted the Moon Black, though. I LOVE everyone Hayley song, though :D

I picked the Prayer because it luls me to sleep every night ! :)

I definitley love Wuthering Heights, too :D

I just added option 8: Summer Fly

Definitely Scarborough Fair! :D

I love Scarborough Fair and Wuthering Heights. There's no way to choose because they are so different. Scarborough Fair shows off the simplistic, haunting, and celtic passion that Hayley's voice has. Wuthering Heights shows the power and vocal gymnastics that she is capable of. They're both fantastic!!! :)

 I voted for Wuthering Heights but I think that(forgive my spelling) "Lascha Ki Pianga" from ANJ deserves mention and didn't even make it on the list. So beautiful.  ;)

Lets see.  Hmmm.  How about "Never Say Goodbye" or maybe "Both Sides Now" but then again "Beat Of Your Heart" or how about "Bright Eyes."  Well, I give up.  There is no end to her list of beautifully performed songs.

 I'll  add " Pokarekare  Ana" to my list.  Hayley IS awesome!   :o :o :o

I would have to say my favorite would be "Wuthering Heights" for sure. I love all the other ones too, but there is something about the phrasing in the chorus of that song that just blew my gourd, she just executed it perfectly. I also love "Never saw blue"

Hayley has such a clear voice- it's obvious that she's a natural singer. My sister tells me that I'm  cut out for singing, and that's rather true. Hayley is a very rare case. :o

  I agree....Hayley is an amazing talent. And she has such a pleasing personality too.  And I applaud your sense of confidence!  :)   I bet your sister is right. It's a dream worth pursuing. Just ask one of our forum members "Tiffany". She is a nice young woman here who started singing at a very young age.   

Out of that list, I picked Scarborough Fair.  But out of all Hayley's songs, my favorite is The Coventry Carol.  I love that she sings it a cappella, and the layering gives it a nice eerie effect. 

 I went with her version of  "May It Be'  here...but I remember going with "Wuthering Heights" in another poll. My ultimate Hayley fav,  however, is "Lascia Ch'io Pianga". 

 I went with  "Wuthering Heights" ....   :)

My favorite song by Hayley is probably "Heaven". It's not on here though, so I just picked "Scarborough Fair". I listen to the song "Heaven" a lot when I'm thinking about past family members, & it makes me happy.

and in addition, all the "West Side Story" songs she used to sing.

She has so many good songs!

My favorite Hayley song from CW (ANJ) is Lascia ch'io pianga with Scarborough Fair an extremely close second.

For my favorite song from her solo career, I imagine I'm going a bit off the board on this one, but it's God Defend New Zealand.  Hayley sang it on Treasure / Celtic Treasure (title varies depending on where you got the album).  I'm not from New Zealand, but I almost wish I was because this arrangement was so good and Hayley's voice was sooooo strong and spectacular.

I really enjoyed World In Union for similar reasons.

I love God Defend NZ, too! I don't know all the words, though I know some, but I have the tune pretty much memorized in my head. Did you see the video of her singing it at the Rugby World Cup in 2011, which was held in NZ (and where the All Blacks won)? :)

Yep. Was that the one where the crowd was singing along and going crazy?

I think I will have to add Across the Universe of Time. That song is so lovely; I've used it in several YouTube Projects!
But as for this poll, I'd have to go with Scarborough =D
