Wow. That's some intense moderation.

But then again, most of HWI are male teenagers and the excitement of your 500+ pics of Hayley does not bode well for the outnumbered and elderly moderator...!

Thinking about it objectively, I suppose the moderator might have thought you were infringing the photographers' copyrights to Hayley's photos maybe. I don't know since I don't read the forum too much....the reading standard isn't much to speak of as you know...!

I think my bias is for artists (and composers) to adhere firmly to their roots and origin; whether that be folk influences, ethnicity or vision. I see Hayley fitting in very well in a number of genres - that instantly makes it worrying.....is her production team trying to please everyone and end up MOR.....

Wow strike II! I must have so many compressed pop recordings in my collection. For some reason, U2's 'The Joshua Tree' album is one of the poorest recorded CDs I've ever heard from such a big budget band. I bought the LP thinking it was better....strangely not. Can't figure out why...

If you like modern celtic music: do you listen to Moya Brennan and Heidi Talbot at all? Moya Brennan also has a Irish Christmas album out. I've still not heard it! (Shame). Heidi Talbot (from Cherish the Ladies is really Irish through and through. Just amazing singing and string playing too. None of them do Maori like Hayley does Celtic lol.
