Thanks for your message. Im very interested to know what German TV shows you have recored. They were always rather strange to perform on. Im sure you have some very bizarre footage of me to say the least!

I really enjoyed the show for Palm FM. Great fireworks afterwards also.
Of course I haven't changed a bit, I have a picture in the attic, like Dorian Grey!!!

I would Love to come to Sydney to do the Mardi Gras, but I need to be invited.
Why don't you start a "Bring Hazell to Sydney" campaign in Oz....I may get there before I eventually retire : )
Re the video n Malta. To be honest, I wanted the video to be made in Africa, as the song starts with a Zulu rain chant, but for some reason (and I cant remember why) we ended up at the location of the Robin Wiliams movie, "Popeye". Also I stayed at The Phoenician Hotel, which was gorgeous, we filmed a lot of footage there also.
That was my first video for EMI.

Thankfully, I had music in my life which took some of the strain of being dyslexic.
It has been difficult at times, and I used to be quite embaressed by it, but now I don't let it bother me at all.
I recently heard that something like 80% of big company CEO's are dyslexic, which is amazing!
My shopping list, however, is quite a sight to behold.....its a good job I know what I mean!

Hello Brazil.
Nice to hear from you. I have never visited your beautiful country, although my friend Nicki French has been over many times.
Maybe you should also start a "Bring Hazell to Brazil" Campaign : )

Im still pondering "Big Bad and Dangerous" as the song was for Divine, and about Divine, and very much in demo format, i'm not sure I want it doing the rounds and being played as a "Hazell Dean" track., which it certainly isnt!!!
I will have to think about that one.

I had a great time last night at The Eagle. What a fantastic crowd, Lovely to meet you, and Im glad you enjoyed the show. I had a blast.

HiNRGBoy.
I have known Miquel Brown since 1983, and I really like her voice.
I love the song, and thought Miquel would do a great job of it.
I was also working with Tina Charles at the time, so it was a bit self indulgent of me, but most enjoyable to record with both Miquel and Tina.
Both tracks were Dean & Ware productions.
Miquel did a live PA of "Its a Sin" at The Virgin Mega Store on Oxford Street in London, and she couldnt hear the intro of the track, and for a few moments it all went horribly wrong, but being a pro she picked up fast and saved the day.
I on the other hand almost had a coronary!
Always

Hi Jeffrey in Phillidelphia
No I didnt sing on any of the Rick Astley tracks, it was probably Mirriam Stockley who did masses of the backing
vocals at that time. She was very popular throughout that whole period.

Ahhh, at last the contact page is working again, and a very interesting couple of questions from Mattroy. So here my the reply.
To Mattroy -
Yes, I met Divine on many occasions, and saw his shows, twice in Holland and once here in London at The Hippodrome.
I have even been to his apartment in New York.
Divine was at first quite wary of me - a bit suspicious, thinking I was going to steal his manager, Bernard, away from him. After a while he decided I could be trusted and liked me.
In fact I met my dear friends in New York, Pati and Simon through Bernard and Divine.
Pete Ware and I did write a song for him "Big Bad and Dangerous" but sadly he passed away before he ever heard it.
I still have the demo, with me singing it!!!!!!
Its a lot of fun, and would have been great. Like Divine very much he was scary and adorable all mixed together.
And your next question about the lovely Mr Pete Burns - Yes I knew that Pete had been influenced by "Whatever I do", which was very flattering.
Pete and the boys in Dead or Alive were always so sweet to me. We bumped into each other a lot while touring around the UK and Europe.
I last saw him in Paris at a EuroPride in the early 90's (There is a photo of us in the gallery section).
I loved all of those Dead or Alive tracks, and Pete's look - so striking!
And yes, Of course I watched him on Celebrity Big Brother!!

I've been very lazy with my replying of late, so here are some email replies dating back to Nov!!!
24th Nov - David Mansfield. Thank you SO much for your kind offer of "Stay in my Life". I do actually have a copy in my own collection, so please keep enjoying it yourself!!
If however anyone has an original cd single of "Love Pains" - my copy was stolen from my home (can you believe it!!).....???

I decided yellow and green stripes were really NOT for me. Pink polka dots much more appropriate.
