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)”

No sorry, perhaps you misunderstood me.
I'm suggesting that Hayley's voice on "Moon River" on her own CD reminded me of the voice of Stacey Kent.
I don't think on that occasion, she's trying to be anyone other than herself.
Oh yes, and for the "Singing Canadian," Nelson, or Jeannette, whoever you are, that very memorable "standard." ideal for ballroom dancing, has a range of just over an octave.
See what I mean?
It makes me smile when some posters get so "personal" on behalf of someone on telly. It's about on the level of "My dad is bigger than your dad."
It's so unnecessary.
