Sundays are for Beauty - Vivo Per Lei


Jamie Salé and David Pelletier were co-gold medalists at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. They shared their gold medal with Russians Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze after a bizarre unravelling of a judging scandal. The Russians were initially declared the winners, but, after an investigation of an allegation of cheating on the part of one of the judges, the Canadians and Russians were declared co-champions. Sale and Pelletier are now married and skating professionally.

Andrea Bocelli and Hayley Westenra have both appeared in this Blog before: Bocelli on March 23, 2009, and Westenra, on April 26, 2009. She was only 18 years old at the time this video was made.

Vivo per lei (English: I live for her) was released in December 1997. It was a smash hit in Belgium and France and reached #1 on the charts in both countries.
