What do you think of Hayley Westenra's interpretations of these very well known Japanese songs?

Yuki No Hana

 

 

 

Tsubomi

 

 

Itsumo Nando 

 

 

Nada Sou Sou 

 

 

 

So what do you think?  Do you like these English versions?  I like them to be honest.

Her voice is kinda irritating

I see :(

I always loved her since she was part of Celtic Woman. i like them overall.

She was my idol when I was younger.

I don't get people who call her voice irritating. You say that your favorite has such an "angelic voice" but no. This is the true example of an angelic voice <3

Yuki no Hana sounds like it could've been a Disney song. So is Itsumo. She does well on Nada Sousou IMO.

 

Tsubomi, however, is a powerful song with powerful lyrics. It needs a powerful voice and preferably a male one. Which is why Kobukuro's version will still remain the best, the most effective, and the most heartfelt.
