Disappointed.  Sounds like they didn’t spend any time rehearsing.

Haley needs to put some clothes on and stand up when she singing.  And stop sipping from a water bottle all the time, it looks amateurish.  Nothing wrong with drinking water, just do it between songs and not facing the audience.

Practice, practice, practice.  Harmonies weren’t very good.  They didn’t seem to know where the other was going. 

What a waste of great talent. 

The video was of poor quality so you probably didn’t realize Haley was wearing pants.

Haley is one of my top two favorite Idol contestants. What “hits” with music constantly shifts, constantly changes. Who would have thought Mumford and Sons would define a “new genre” of folk rock for a new generation, or that The Lumineers would top the charts.

Haley is deeply rooted in jazz with all of the pop overtones as well. This is really the beginning of her career – and she has something most new artists don’t have, a built-in fan base, which is a slight edge. So few musicians come out of the gate million-copy sellers – and if they do, very few stay there. I think Haley has a long, long career ahead of her – the right song, and her genre will “hit.” It’s been interesting to watch the 10-year music shifts and changes of another of my favorite artists, also rooted in jazz – Adam Levine. Can’t wait to hear what Haley has in store for the next ten years.

Haley was my favorite contestant from S10, and I’m disappointed that she continues to perform with Casey (who is not nearly as talented as she is). I honestly don’t think that they sound good together at all.

Another gem from this show–Cant Find My Way Home. It’s beautiful. I think both of these two are extremely talented. Haley has a better natural gift vocally which she knows how to use. And Casey–sings with great phrasing and rhythm and can harmonize on anything. Great ear. His tone isn’t as pleasing–but so what? He is still a good singer and a fine musician. I also really love that both their voices are so distinctive.

I like Haley …sometimes. I agree with those who feel that she is good at singing pretty. She can control her voice in an amazing way! Wish she had a lower register, she needs to avoid diving – it isn’t there when she calls it sometimes and it shows. There are places in a few songs on her CD where she is totally in her nose. She could use some voice lessons. No shame, I’ve heard huge change in some artists.

I don’t think she purposely blows things off, rather, it’s that her parents are very very casual performers. Haley needs a sense of urgency to what she is doing as her own brand. You can’t open for someone like Allen Stone and tell an audience who is willing to give you a listen for the first time, that, you are from American Idol. WTF? Why does she still carry that around like it’s a trophy, Smh. It’s been years now since that show. Time let it go. She also needs to let go of her parents and commit to being a single gal making her way in the big bad city. I think this contributes to why she can’t tell a story when she sings. She needs to get in touch with herself and the living of life’s good and bad. Get out and be with other new people/musicians, think about people she’s met and sing us a story about them.

Maybe she’ll get a new label. Who knows. I just don’t think that’s gonna be there for her. If she is quick about it, she may get some return if she goes to something like a Pledgemusic. One thing for sure, she needs to get out and sing. She hardly ever does. Don’t get that.
