'Lady Dee'?

tinmeigut

I don't know whether I've heard it wrong or not, so I need you guys to verify.

In Hayley's Live from New Zealand DVD, the bonus features section contains her singing 'I Dream a Dream' in Russell Watson's concert, as a guest performer probably.

When Watson introduced her out, he, as usual, commended that Hayley has an angelic voice, but he seemed to have then said something like,'Here I give you, Lady Dee- Hayley Westenra!'

I ain't sure whether he's called her Lady Dee, so guys please, if you're free, go and verify for me. Watson said that sentence so quickly that I couldn't catch entirely what he said.

Thanks a lot.

Her full name is Hayley Dee Westenra. But I don't know if there's a way to call someone's middle name like this.

Yea I know, Hayley's first album was supposed to be called 'Hayley Dee Westenra', but was later changed too. So I'm just too curious to know whether Watson really addressed the lady with her middle name.

I've asked about this in the HWI forum, and the administrator got the answer for me. Watson actually said 'A very gifted lady indeed.'

Thank you tinmeigut and guys from HWI. Now that we know we have to practice our listening comprehension more.

It's difficult for me ,a F.5 student, to listen to a native conversation! But try my best to improve my listening skills for my prospect and above all, Hayley!!!!

tinmeigut

Honestly, I can only use 'cute' to describe her Kiwi accent, and we better hope in our listening exams we don't get to hear that.

It's also a way to improve my poor English despite Hayley's accent~~
