That is exactly how amazing Grace should be sung The situation, the emotion.
I am also a Christchurch boy. One minute of disaster and the city will never be the same.
This performance expresses the grief, the resilience and the resolve.
It still gives me goosebumps
Still to this day this is the most moving and beautiful version of this song
Voice of an angel? Forgive me but I have never heard an angel sing.I have heard Hayley sing and it is beyond incredible. This young lady has the purest voice I have ever heard.An absolute amazing talent.
The crowd was noisy until Hayley Westenra started Amazing Grace and with only her singing you could hear a pin drop. Truly an angel.
Best a capella version of this I can recall. Simple and moving.
The sweetness of voice & the gentleness of sound.
Enjoy Amazing Grace...Hayley Westenra.
Hayley you are amazing.
God bless you and beautiful Christchurch!!!
Truly magnificent. A song of 'faith' not necessarily religion.
No music is necessary when Haley performs. She is so effortless and pitch perfect.
She truly has the GIFT. Thank you Haley for sharing it with us.
Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T'was blind but now I see
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home,
And grace will lead us home
Amazing grace, Howe Sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
T'was blind but now I see
Was blind, but now I see
I mistook this for US anthem
Im from Christchurch and this still gets me. Every. Single. Time.
I absolutely agree to others' opinions of her being an angel with no wings. She has wonderful voice. I guess that an angel's voice is the same as hers. I offer her many thanks From south korea.
There's no other way, but to the Lord, I seek my refuge.
Amen! 🙏🏻
This is the best version of this song I've ever heard! 👍👍
Yes
Haley, just listening to you is a religious experience.
I love you as does everyone else
I first heard Hayley when I was in the beautiful garden city of Christchurch in 2002. I do hope that from the rubble and the tragedy that Christchurch will once again be rebuilt and renewed to its former splendour. I was there only six weeks, but in 67 years I have not found a more splendid city or a friendlier people.
Amazing! Just that she does it acapella makes it even more beautiful
America's Got Talent? Haley wins The World's Got Talent!!! Love this woman!
The most perfect version I've ever heard ... pure, simple and tonally perfect .... THIS is Grace
God bless Hayley Westenra and Christchurch.
Eres mi amor platónico. Sueño con poder conocerte algún día. Me trae recuerdos de mi juventud. Me inspira lo que pretendía alcanzar y que ahora lo tengo tan cerca. Gracia divina.💘💝💖
How can 37 people dislike this? I was there this day and i balled my eyes out. I had strangers around me doing the same thing, and in the area i was standing in everyone started to hold hands and everyone hugged at the end. Such a amzaing voice. Aso notice her pauses when she sings. Perfect timing. 37 people need there hearing checked i say
Just wow. The kind of voice that gives you goosebumps, in a good way.
Hayley Westenra is a beautiful young woman who has a beautiful voice god bless her 🙏
HERE'S TO MAKING IT COUNT HAYLES.
It is a measure of her great artistic integrity that she can perform this song so often and always make it special (and never more so than here).
God bless her and the good people of Christchurch.
Her God given talent is a blessing for everyone to hear!
I would marry her for Eterniy
This is an angel come down to give us comfort. Tell me I'm wrong.
+Matt Hanks You are absolutely right Matt
no angel. just a girl hu shows us the way
You ain't wrong I'll bend my knee for her anyday
Hayley is an angel. Only the wings are missing.
WOW, Amazing Grace sang by Amazing Singer..countless times put in repeat.

An absolute angelic voice... One of the sweetest voices in the recorded history... A treasure of not just New Zealand but of the planet earth.
I was moved to tears. ;'-( I remember when she was with Celtic Woman, who I have seen in person. Unfortunately, she was not part of the group then. This was my mother's favorite song!

Hello Hayley, thank you for this wonderful song, once again, performed with gusto and thanks ! Better than a musical performance, you sing every time with all your heart ! That's what makes your songs so beautiful ! Be blessed in abundance, Hayley !!
Your voice is the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life, praise God for his wonderful gift.
Isn't she just so flawless, both her looks and her voice, and she can sing so powerfully without any music, that takes some doing as then any faltering sticks out a mile so she's a real class singer just like the late and great Judy Durham from the Seekers.
She sounds like an angel
Very beautiful and clear voice.
She is a wonderful singer with a voice of a angel
Decades of work to produce such work. Don't listen to those who who complain. They would give anything to achieve what you already do. Pete, OZ
Omg awesome voice,I’m a proud kiwi who has lived abroad for the last 40 years,so enjoy talent from NZ
Amazing voice. .
Amazing song of praise
God Bless You.... i love you, i Love your voice... it´s like liquid gold
Beautiful. God bless all the people who lost their lives and their families xx
I'm sold.The greatest singer ever.

What a wonderful beautiful talented woman!
Best version of Amazing Grace I've ever heard. Hayley hits every note perfectly. Simply beautiful.
What a wonderful voice , remarkable !
Amazingly fantastic song and voice...love this...!
She was sing through her heart in this one, this is her "home" and you can feel her emotions 🥰
This really gives me the chills ...
Hii minca
As if anybody needed proof that this wonderful young lady has a stunning vocal. A few years back i asked a Bass-baritone to possibly sing a lyric i'd penned for the music of Vivaldi. He said it might be a problem scheduling anything because he was working on a charity song with Hayley Westenra...
So i said "it's fine...she takes priority..she is special"....
I eventually managed to find my own Soprano to sing three songs for me....google Hannah Drury....SWEET LADY ENGLAND, THE STORM and EPIPHANIA....my patience and respect for Hayley and that other singer seems to have totally paid off.
Such a beautiful gracious lady.
Thank you for blessing us with this performance
She has beautiful voice
If I die listening to this amazing voice I would die a happy, happy person
Hayley has always sung from the heart.
wow that was something else, BEAUTIFUL.
Great sing singing Hayley ❤️❤️💕💕
She was beautiful
Keep using that wonderful voice to praise God girl
Hii valerie
