Thanks, I wish they could help move Haley's career forward, rather than be "our little secret". Haley's talent is too good to have to ourselves. There are people that can use the joy her music and performances bring... more ears need to know Haley
A double edged sword. If Haley's career had taken off, many of these vids would not, could not exist.
I remember being at her Hard Rock "Listen Up!" debut in Hollywood. She was surrounded by HUGE security guards, they wouldn't even let us take pictures with her...there was no way you could have a chance to talk with her, experience some of her personality. Just a few seconds and a signature...and move on, that was it....
I still recall, just after S10 finished, on TVLine's comments section, I was adamant that I wouldn't go see her on the Idol tour because the days of being one of tens of thousands in a big stadium to see a show, are largely over for me. I wanted to be able to hear all of Haley's pristine notes, all the growls and whistle notes that would be drowned out in a megastadium filled with thousands of people.
My wish then was to see Haley in smaller, more intimate, personal venues... little did I know, that's been the case, for maybe too long
Not that I'm saying that's the reason things have happened the way they have, but I can't shake feeling of regret that the smaller venues have been all she's had opportunity for (outside of NOJO gigs). It's been great on the one hand because I've gotten to know/talk with her throughout, but I also want her to be successful in what she does... I'm ready for the world to know of Haley, now
Right now, my wish is for Haley to have a hit song, whether she sings it or somebody else could, I want her career to move forward, to start towards it's potential.... I hope this works as well as my first wish seemed to have
I'm glad to have been there to experience these shows and just as glad that I can share these wonderful experiences with fans who can't make it... I am but one of several, including Rachel, Himm, PJ, Miguel and others who do what we can to help keep interest alive not only to deliver updates and info, but to also be a helping hand to someone we believe in (Three years and counting

) The icing on the cake is that keeping Haley's flame alive, will eventually reach someone with a plan and the wherewithall to make it 'happen' for Haley. That would be my greatest reward (Fingers crossed )
