The Center for Artificial Indifference

There Are No Words…

This may well be the most enjoyable eight minutes you will spend this year. Grab the box of tissues, crank the volume up a bit, kick back and hit the play button…

As soon as you’ve daubed your eyes and taken a deep breath, try the next one…

The first was Hayley Westernra when she was 15. Now 21, she hails from Christchurch, New Zealand.

The second was 11 year old Andrew Johnston, competing in a British talent search show earlier this year. Eleven years old

The selection is Pie Jesu from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Requiem.

[Miss Westernra first seen at John B's Blog Meridian. It was John who concluded with the words I chose as a title... There are no words. Thank you John B. ]

    The first video skipped and being in a bit of a rush, I clicked onAndrew. With a voice like that, how could he help not to want to use it. Beautiful.

    That was a lovely thing to hear before I retire for the evening.

    I forgot my reading glasses at work; wish me luck with the number verification thingy. ;-)

    G’night.

    @Pagan: I have played the Westernra video several times and had it skip and stall only once. When it did so with you, there must have been millions of people hitting YouTube all at the same time as a result of my recommendation. …right… Try it again… It’ll give you an earworm good for several days… but a good earworm…
