RE: S10 - mercfan3 - 01-16-2014
I like Britney's voice when she's not dancing. It's different. But it's highly damaged. (Through singing incorrectly and smoking.)
In her prime, she had the most incredible stage presence. She's a dance rather than singer..so entertainer is correct. But she was just mesmerizing.
I find JLo's movies to be cute. And I do think she was a great dancer when she was younger..but I don't think she had the stage presence that Britney once had. Honestly, I just won't forgive her for what she did to the girls in her two seasons of AI. For all the things wrong with Nikki and Mariah..they were at least positive towards the female in the competition. (Even if they couldn't stand to be around each other.)

I took my daughter to her first concert to see Britney. So what happened to her voice?

Christina Aquilera's voice isn't the same either.
I understand the demand on these artists to constantly perform, but didn't know your voice could permanently change because of it. Britney is still popular though. I wish her luck in Las Vegas.

kudos to allisonraee
I love that vid! Season 10-it had it all going on! The right mix of talented contestants/genres, big emotional moments, joyful moments, frustrating moments and humor! Always entertaining. (I forgot how sick Casey looked when he was saved. I remember thinking his was going to faint dead away or worse on stage.) The cast made that year--I don't think it had much at all to do with the judges.
There was discussion of this on MJ's in some AI13 ratings threads. Ratings are down 20% from last season. But, something about that is kind of the norm. There were comments about season 10. How ratings also dropped from season 9 in the beginning, but rebounded during the live shows to overtake the prior season in the ratings. The Tyler/JLo effect had worn off--it was the cast that made that season. Also proven by the AI tour that year--did much better that season 9 or season 11 and 12.
I don't get why JLO or Britney are famous. I know JLO is beautiful. My husband is back watching AI this yr--he loves
looking at her
But, I don't get why she has sold records either. Someone could give me free tickets to her show in the front row and I wouldn't go. I get she is an entertainer--but I want to see entertainers with real talent and good songs. But, she's a smart cookie--can't take that away from her.

I'd sell those front row JLo tickets too, but I'd travel for hours an hours and pay good money to see Haley.

When Britney was first signed, the record company wanted her to have a "different" "sexy" tone. She worked on how she wanted to sound like, and they came up with what we now know as Britney's distinctive..and yet thin and not so amazing.
The problem is, that singing in that manner permanently damaged her vocals. Before being signed she was actually more of a broadway style type of singer, even staring in an off broadway show as a child. (In fact, I thought Britney's "star search" performances were better than Chrisitna's, even vocally.)

It just goes to show you, that there are other ways that label's can hurt you than lack of promotion.
I think Britney just had "it." Whatever "it" is. She was one of those entertainers that can have 30 people on the stage with her, and all you notice is Britney.
But with all stars..all that matters is promotion. Someone has to be invested in you, and you'll be a household name.

So, as the new season of Idol kicks off and in remembrance of S10 of Idol, I found this link to a 30 page forum of comments about Haley that I had not seen before (Television Without Pity). What is cool is how folks slowly turned from either disliking her or just not noticing her much to becoming huge fans, many saying they were "voting their fingers off", or voting for the first time ever or in years… But there remained people throughout that were still haters, talking about her attitude, the b*tch face, her style/dress, growling not singing, etc, and those people just did not like her, period, no matter what. Haters gonna hate…
There are a lot of great links to various stories, videos etc about Haley that are still active. One was really incredible to me, that I had not seen. Click link below to view Scotty backstage at his Idol audition in Milwaukee, discussing how this event could change his life—he was right about that! Over his left shoulder, sitting in a folding chair, is a girl with long flowing curly hair bouncing and seat dancing. It is Haley! Probably the first video of her from her S10 journey. I had not seen this before, but it is amazing to contrast how nervous Scotty was and how just cool Haley was, just bopping to the music.
Also, in the forum, lots of good juicy conspiracy stuff about the TPTB on Idol. I really never paid much attention to that, but it does seem to ring true in some ways—wanting Scotty to win, with Haley messing up their plans. I also see why there remains still a strong hatred for Randy Jackson and in some cases JLo about how they treated Haley. They WERE really hard on her (as I watched some of their comments after her performances) compared to the others. One comment about JLO stood out to me, she told Haley it was risky to choose such a popular song like “Rolling In the Deep”, then got on her about doing an unknown Lady Gaga song—saying she should stick to popular songs! And Randy Jackson looks like a total buffoon in retrospect with his comments, while Steven Tyler really did stick up for Haley and defend her. No wonder he was her favorite judge.
Oh well, all water under the bridge now, and Haley, to her credit, appears to have remained on positive terms with the American Idol show. Hopefully, she will get to be on the show this coming year to launch a new CD (fingers and toes crossed…)
RE: S10 - Himm2 - 01-22-2014
^^great find rmd but I don't think that was at Scotty's audition in Milwaukee since the guy filming it was Tim Halperin before their top 40 performance which would have made it Vegas or Hollywood. Great to see Haley there.
RE: S10 - NUG - 01-22-2014
Blech I want to b-slap some of those people in the first couple of pages of the TWOP thread. GAH I hate haters!!

Yeah, there was some nastiness early on. It's amazing how off base some of the impressions of Haley are.
Prescient
