    Jenkins can sing in Welsh as well/Celtic and just read Haley is compared to Church. Only know them from singing the anthem at rugby matches though ;)

    Yes, it's a beautiful folk song, coupled with a singer possessing an immaculate voice. Hayley has such good control of her vocals. Not surprising, since she has been classically trained. And she can sing in Japanese too :eek:.

    Some nice music videos by Ai Kawashima. She has a very sad story behind her songs.

    All the 4 music videos are different versions of the same song.

    I didn't really fancy Hayley's early stuff such as 'Who Painted The Moon Black' and the somewhat all right 'What You Never Know (Won't Hurt You)' et al, but her stuff a while later really made me take notice of how polished her voice control is. Her cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" is pretty much my favourite so far.

    [video=youtube;rd8azeG1Bu0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd8azeG1Bu0[/video]

    Not really important but a bonus nonetheless - did I mention that she's quite a lovely lady to boot? :)

    Being a Kiwi, perhaps Peter Jackson can get her involved with The Hobbits as an elvish singer - would fit perfectly.


    ... ok, maybe it more than the voice now... :eek:

    Maybe Lisa Kelly's Irish accent is somewhat strong in her rendition of this song but fits in like a glove. I actually like this version far more than Enya's.

    Saw a funny comment on the Youtube page:

    "Enya watched it 64 times, she was jealous" - referring to the dislike button. :D

    For some reason I've been listening to a lot of Queen in the past couple of weeks and I think they're simply awesome!

    Four decades now and the songs are still timeless.

    Killer Queen
    Bicycle Race
    Don't Stop Me Now
    Somebody To Love
    Crazy Thing Called Love
    You're My Best Friend

    and the great, if not a bit crazy, Bohemian Rhapsody.

    Special mention to Under Pressure and Radio Gaga.

    I do like We'll Rock You and We're The Champions but they're a little too overplayed that people tend to overlook some of the rest listed above.

    I wonder how many songs of the 2000s onwards would be remembered this well forty years from now.

    That sounded a lot like the background music that wafts around when Sakuragi Hanamichi's heart is broken as he walked into the dark stormy horizon. :D

    Lol, the title of this thread needs to be changed to I like this music (video), or I'll have to delete most of mine, save for the awesome one

    Lol, but it does not. Didn't know you were into anime. The video is actually a compilation of 3 songs in total, but I like only the first one. The singer, Misaki Iwasa, is from the idol group AKB48. Didn't expect her to be able to sing so well. As you can see, her awestruck fellow members have got すごい written on their faces. Maybe suetyan can provide you more information about Iwasa and the songs if you're interested to know. She has been struck by Misaki-mania a second time over, lol

    Cute video, but it was made a century too late for poor Mark Twain [​IMG]
    I actually do listen to some German music, but it was a long, long time ago, lol
