From my experience following things as an investor, the worse exploits are when things look like a "milk this when it's hot"... or even buy -out guys buying a clothing line and explointing a previously elite name by pumping out cheaper goods under the brand and putting them in JC Penny etc. They can make a lot of money in a short time but kill the cache' to the brand that had a slow steady profit potential.

I don't see much evidence of them trying to make a quick buck but do see the people around her trying to get her more and more connected to the highest quality people in the business. They also let her make her sound exactly her way.

Now...not saying there has been anything wildly succesful finacially...but it looks like those around her are looking at it as a longer term project and dolign out their efforts in a way that is looking like a longer term support rather than a "smash and grab" spurt.

Of course, we know that its a rough business and a cat eat dog business and its not a matter of charity I don't think.. they're looking out to scrap a buck for themselves...even if they also enjoy the cusp plus of working with a pleasant person along the way, that isn't their priority... more a suprise for them I'm sure.

I thought of that.... while I'm glad she didn't sing "Free" (I enjoy her other songs and covers so much more, not sure why) it was sort of interesting that she didn't sing "undone"

I'm thinking she looked at the Stagit thing as truly an intimate show for some hard-core fans who would really appreciate things they didn't hear her perform (via the interenet) often.

SOOOO happy to hear her sing Santeria , and At last, and Wonderland and Lets Run Away .... she only had so much time and if something got pushed out glad it wasn't one of those. I could have taken Undone over Oh Darling (oh darling was great, and I think SHE wants to keep seeing where she can go with that ... and she is still going). I also think she likes to sing Wasted tears and thinks she can find even more with that one too.

We all know what an artist she is and might find more to play with with the songs she sung... something she personally loves and knows that us harder core fans that would look for a way to pay for an internet show would also eat up.

I wondered if she didn't sing Undone because she knows it will be the next single and she will be obligated to sing it ad nauseum in the near future. I also think she likes performing other songs on the album more than Undone (i.e. how many times has she performed Wasted Tears?). Just speculation of course.

Remember, Haley has said she doesn't like singing sad songs because she's more an upbeat type of gal. She sings Undone well though and I personally would be shocked if this is her next single because it wouldn't be to her liking and the fact that Free is already downbeat. IMO, Get Yourself Together should be her next single

Look at the songs Oh, Darling and Can't Find My Way Back Home lyrics; both sad. She can and will sing 'em all. Er, I mean slay 'em all. She is just so magical.

Am I the only one that thinks she is getting even better in the last 5 months? I think her musicality in practicing the new album is like aging good bourbon.

Good to know. I thought I was the only one.Hales is getting so skilled at her craft.

I noticed too! And it's not just her singing either. She's becoming more comfortable and relaxed in front of her audiences too!

She slayed us as a budding flower a year and a half ago and now we see signs of the full bloom...she is captivatingly beautiful in all respects!

She's always seemed comfortable in front of her audiences but the differences since her album was released was she shows a greater urge to promote songs that she created and she can now identify who her audience is and probably envisions her regular constantly involved fans as she's singing rather than to an unknown camera lens.
