Quote:We still don't know the whole story about what happened with Interscope. But Haley does. And now, the choice is hers, not based on the Idol contract. She can make sure that she signs with a label that believes in her vision, commits to her for a few albums, promotes her, and gets her on tour with a strong band.

I hope she is taking her time here, not in a rush, and is using the good counsel of all these contacts she is making in the industry. It appears as noted, that she is focused on working in the studio for now, getting songs done that she can shop to labels.

I too want her performing again, but hopefully with more than a guitar player to accompany her. To me her finest hour performance-wise was Lolla with a rocking band behind her. That is what I hope we see more of by the end of this year....hoping, hoping...[/color]

(I said three novenas and tipped an extra 5$ per song at stage-it for the privilege of listening early.)

That song really sounds like a tribute to Stevie Wonder . I wonder if TV specials put out
"requests for proposals" (a business term that is used for anumber of situations including with large commercial leases that would require extensive tenant improvements with desires that could be met numerous ways some of which a building owner might volunteer readily to do based on things not known to someone with interest in leasing a larger property in need of upgrades or something).

The post/quotes/article in the thread here that gave some picture of how ESPN buys music to use in their productions mentioned Grace Potter being someone asked to submit a song for consideration for a new MLB theme for a channel.

I wonder if any of the unpublished songs get submitted like that, or for TV show themes etc. Singing songs isn't the only form of artistry and I'm guessing that her ability to sing is knitted intricately in with how she creates music during the collaborative process of writing a song/melody. I'm saying that to counter the "what a waste of her potential not to be the one singing" LOL.

Making money allows you to choose which doors to open and it has happed where a great TV song turns into a hit (as well as the more common other way around thing).

Anyway.. how amazing would it be if that her "Thanks for the Songs" was sung by a celebrity cast to honor Stevie (kind of "We are the world" but for a birthday celebration ?) .

OK. I dream big sometimes lol! Friday night.
