A review by Tom Lavera of a live concert in Michigan
It wasn't the best of situations
for them having just got off a plane and I don't think the sound arrangement was
the best for their high powered voices. These two sing with every thing they
have. Natasha, bless her heart, apologized to me for mistakes I didn't hear (I
have selective hearing). I think they were as good as was possible under the
conditions and I sincerely enjoyed every minute.
They sang almost an hour straight with only time for a quick drink for a dry
throat. I don't think I've heard "The Holy City" and "Were You There" done any
better anytime. I would love to hear these girls sing on a real stage with a
real orchestra behind them WOW.

"Congratulations Natasha and
Crystal!
It's a truly wonderful video of both of you, and what beautiful harmonies!
My favorite song is "Panis Angelicus", and your version reminds me of when I saw
Hayley sing it as a duet with her younger sister Sophie at the London Palladium
last year."

"At last I have had another look
at your video and I think it is wonderful. I have to agree with what other
people here have said in that 'Panis Angelicus' is my favorite. I first came to
love it when Hayley and Sophie sang it last year but, since then I have always
paid more attention to other versions, and yours is as good as any.
I would also like to give special mention to another song that I particularly
enjoyed. That was 'For Me' (is that the right title?). You acknowledged the
message within the lyric so I will simply add that the melody and vocal harmony
added to its beauty. Vocally, this song suits you very well.
You are now downloaded onto my computer - it didn't hurt, did it?
Thank you both for sharing your lovely voices with the world."
