To heap all to all the good @HaleyReinhart news, local Chicago Haliens will definitely want to check out the Daily Herald tomorrow!

It will be interesting to see in what format and hopefully early preorder packages "Better" will be offered.
I would love to see "Better" being available as a record, I think it would fit Haley's image (retro, old soul) nicely, and the dynamics of her voice would be showcased even more, since there is less compression ( not sure if this is the right technical term) on a record vs CD and download formats.

Regarding hard copies and bonus items, it's probably wise to go in with lowered expectations, just be glad that the first step, a new full album, is actually happening

I think vinyl at this point is a pipe dream. She'll need to sell a lot of albums first to justify that cost. But as far as hard copies, she's mentioned CDs several times and has advertised a signed CD, with purchase, as part of the tour VIP offer. Granted, we haven't always gotten what we were supposed to get. But one of the big reasons for putting out an LP is so you can get a physical product in real stores. Also I think, or hope anyways, that she's in with some people now that know merchandise sells are gravy and advertising.

I'll post it. Our Daily Herald gets delivered at 5:30 am.

It's already online…..

So the single drops Friday, did she say when the video is coming out. I hope they don't wait until there are 4-5 uploads of the songs by unofficial types.

Quote:Suburban American Idol finalists: Where are they now?

Quote:A Naperville dental assistant, a Wheeling Aquatic Center lifeguard, a dog walker from St. Charles -- all of these regular suburban people became finalists on "American Idol," the FOX singing competition show that, during its prime, was one of the most popular shows on TV.

Quote:Before Idol: She was a lifeguard at the Wheeling Aquatic Center, a singer in Harper College's jazz ensemble, and performed with her family's band.

How far did she get: Third place, Season 10 (2011)

Winner that year: Scott McCreery

Judges that year: Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler

Besides her singing, fans liked: Her long blond curly locks and her musical family.

Memorable performance: A growly cover of Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets"

What she's doing now: Now living in L.A., she's touring to promote her new album, "Better" (including a June 14 show at Lincoln Hall in Chicago), and performing with the group Postmodern Jukebox. She's performed at Lollapalooza and the New Orleans Jazz Fest, and collaborated with stars ranging from Tony Bennett to Slash.

Her cover of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" (which has 5.8 million YouTube views) was a TV ad for Extra gum, and other songs of hers were used in James Cameron's HBO series "Years of Living Dangerously," in a Chase Bank commercial, and in the film "Step Up Revolution."

She returned to "Idol" Feb. 18 to serve as a mentor to current contestants. Her fans are known as "Haliens."

Looking back on her Idol experience: She thinks fondly of her Idol "family" of stage crew, producers and contestants and said she was happy and honored to be part of the show.

She's still in touch with Casey Abrams and Paul McDonald and just bumped into Lee DeWyze in a restaurant the other day. "(The show) has been such an essential part of all our lives," she said. "It's very bittersweet that it's ending."
