I've said this before...maybe on my drum that others find different...what does it matter what others believe or say about Haley if you like her? The human condition seems to need to be reinforced about our likes by others. We show people what we like and look for their approval, we get some gratification/satisfaction that we are "ok" or somewhat "normal". We know what we have heard and we love it...in the end, if others come around to praise our affection...well, that's ok, but it doesn't validate our original choice to love her music. Time has a way of clarifying what is excellent, and sometimes the world never comes on board with what is truly great. Sometimes only a handful of people really appreciate what is significant and the masses miss it completely...wow, that's a big soap box Buzz...just made it in my garage (Do you like it? )

Indeed.

Underlying my earlier comments is a concern that Haliens send a burst of negativity in Grimmies direction. I don't support that at all. Let it go. One element of the criticism can be construed as "Don't you dare sing one of HER songs" and a possible outcome is that an artist would pass on the Haley Reinhart song next time around.

^This^
I'm sure the Haliens who went off on Christina for whatever reason, don't realize that they're actually a liability to Haley when they do this for the very reason that John points out here.

I realize that "Get Yourself Together" was a fan favorite among Haley's unreleased tracks, but she never intended for us to hear those in the first place.

I'd hate to think that Haley's going to have to succeed in spite of her surely fanbase, that unintentionally alienate her by picking fights w/ other artist's & their fanbases. I'm sure it's a small minority of Haliens that do this but they do some damage.

If Haliens were to purchase "Get Yourself Together," the number of downloads for it might encourage Christina's fans to download it as well. If the song proves popular, who knows, it might garner consideration for a single.

In short, spend 99 cents because it might be beneficial to Haley.
