She was indeed- she sounded perfect when she sang Somewhere over the Rainbow, it could almost have been Eva Cassidy.

Hayley is a fabulous singer if she gets the right song like the one mentioned and I always remember her singing of Songbird in the James and Cherie dance which made the routine a knockout.
The other girl must have gone for good which is not fair on Hayley to expect her to sing all the female songs. Is it down to cost cutting or something else

Yes she was fab-u-lous last night particularly loved her in 'Holiday' and for Chris and Ricky W

I have sent my feelings to them on Twitter

If any of you are on twitter please follow http://www.twitter.com/SCDband they are great and are so pleased to have over 200 followers (bless them) they try to reply to all the tweets and answer what questions they can.......they also write a blog every week. I think there is going to be a segment about the band on ITT soon.

I've never much liked Eva Cassidy's version of "Somewhere over the Rainbow," but I do like this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6U_bqIMkI4

But you can't beat the orginal Judy Garland version.
I also like several others. Most well known jazz musicians have recorded it as it's a tune you can do something with.

Hayley has an adequate voice if she's given something with not much more than one and a half octaves in it (like all the good tunes). She's what I'd call a "jobbing background singer" But I don't think she sounds anything special, but that's probably because some tunes she's given are dire and I know they don't get much rehearsal time by the penny-pinching BBC.
There are few around that can sing such a diverse repertoire as is expected of her, so all credit to her. She's probably the best they can get at a price they want to pay.

I dispair of many of the music choices in this programme, I'm now watching much of the time, despite the music.

I noticed the black girl wasn't there this week. More economies to pay for Ronnie Corbett last week?

Although Songbird is a Fleetwood Mac original (written by Christine McVie), Eva Cassidy's cover - released 2 years after her death - is hauntingly beautiful.

LOL, you obviously don't know much about Hayley Sanderson or listened to any thing she's done outside of Scd................Hayley has done an enormous amount of singing/songwriting with some very big names.....I would say the average person on the street can manage 1/2 Octaves, do you actually know what an Octave is? Your limited knowledge of Octaves shows you know nothing about music. After seeing Hayley perform at many venues including the infamous Ronnie Scotts ( which don't have just anyone perform) I can assure you 4/5 Octaves are more like it

Oh dear!

Here we go.

If you've a different opinion, do you think I'm going to be impressed by you getting "personal?" It's a rather pathetic trait.

So now as a musician, I'll give you a bit of an education.

Do really know what four to five octaves sounds like?

In a popular song it'd be pretty awful.

You obviously know very little about popular music which has traditionally been used for ballroom dancing.

All the household name songwriters of the most memorable tunes, wrote with the vocal range of little more than one and a half octaves. This was because they wanted the public to be able to sing the tune themselves if they bought the sheet music to play at home, which is where they made much of their money.
Until well into the fifties, the "top twenty" published in the musical press, was actually based on the sales of sheet music.

That was Sinatra's range by the way. Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald could easily manage two and a half octaves, but rarely used their full range as their best songs didn't require it.

Most of what Sinatra recorded make good fox-trot or quick-step tunes. Pity more of his repertoire isn't used.

Show songs (often used for ballroom dancing) for Ethel Merman by one composer, he said were "written around her three best notes." I mention this because range isn't that important to a well-written tune.

Don't run down Ronnie Scotts, it's never been "infamous." I joined it when it opened.

I don't mind you liking Hayley, but she struggles on a lot of the more contemporary stuff chosen by the producer. That isn't her fault. But how many people would go out and buy a CD of hers?
Err... Apart from you, of course

Touch a nerve did I?

The "Pop music" you mentioned, that's the problem with a lot of the music used in SCD today. When what is required is ballroom dance music, with as it used to be called "strict tempo."

Singing Canadian eh?

So would that be Nelson Eddy, or Jeannette MacDonald?

Don't get carried away, she's only made one and it's only been out about three weeks, but I bet there's none of the tracks that tax her range as does some of the rubbish she's asked to sing on SCD.


I've never said she has a bad voice, but she seems to style herself somewhat on someone else.

Nothing much new in the music industry

Hayley is fab - almost as good as Bassey, though not quite as good.

Their remit on the show is to do that as much as possible.
Why can I not take to cover versions?
I'm sure she is very talented but I kept hearing Judy Garland's version in my head
Only Dame Shirley has ever come close in respect of 'putting over' a song. (Female vocalists that is)
