New York Times: "Baby It's Cold Outside" - Miguel - 12-24-2013
Quote:This song has been covered every year since its release, by so many artists with such different styles, including Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Dolly Parton, Rod Stewart, Colbie Caillat, Tom Jones, James Taylor, Kelly Clarkson and this year even Lady Gaga. But the version I’m featuring is by one of my favorite new artists, Haley Reinhart, who placed third in the 10th season of “American Idol” (performed with Casey Abrams, a finalist that same season). Ms. Reinhart, whose debut album “Listen Up” came out last year, was raised on 1960s and ‘70s rock, played in her parents’ band, studied jazz in college and blew the socks off the crowd at Lollapalooza two years ago (with her dad on guitar). This is one versatile young woman, as you’ll see from this other cover and two originals.

Yes, quite the Christmas gift. From Val, a writer from the Chicago area who in August 2012 placed Haley on her ValsList Festival picks:
Quote:A young “old soul”: Haley Reinhart

She chose those same three songs for ValsList under the categories:
- GRADUATE: We salute you (HTGR)
- Big Pond (Liar)
- Ten to Go (WIASNB)

YES! What a surprise! I subscribe to NY Times and it was on my Ipad under US Stories. I posted the following comment, which is pending approval, and who knows if it gets approved, but...
"Thanks for the background on “Baby Its Cold Outside”, and yes Haley and Casey’s version and video are one of my favorites.
As to “BKBilly”'s question, why isn’t Haley a superstar? Good question. Her CD “Listen Up” released in May 2012 was one of the best of the year (IMHO), a mashup of Motown, rock, and soul all accentuated by Haley’s sexy, sultry voice which is so full of colors and tones. Critics compared her to Adele and Amy Winehouse.
So, what happened to “Listen Up”? Interscope, the label, released one single “Free”, a mid-tempo piano-driven breakup song that was probably one of the weaker songs on the CD, and it barely cracked the Top 40. Meanwhile songs like “Hit The Ground Running”, “Wasted Tears” and “Undone” were hit singles waiting to happen. But Haley did not fit into an easy box for radio. No other singles were released, and around Thanksgiving 2012, Interscope dropped her.
In this age of twerking, nude selfies, obnoxious behavior, stints in rehab and more from pop stars, Haley is a breath of fresh air. She is by all accounts a warm, generous and friendly person and her vocal talents are amazing. Check out YouTube for all the videos of her live performances--there are hundreds of them at least. (The Haliens--her fanbase--around the world make sure every performance is taped.) She is working on new music, and she has said via Twitter that a new CD is on the way. Here is hoping that more success and attention are in store for Haley in the future."
MERRY CHRISTMAS to Haley and her family and all the dedicated Haliens out there. Hopefully 2014 will be Haley's year!

A nice little Christmas present for Haley. Great comments rmd (and Miguel)! It is funny how some take offense, calling it a "date rape" song, given the nature of current song lyrics.
RE: New York Times: "Baby It's Cold Outside" - lauraliz - 12-26-2013
That's such a good article! NYT--that's amazing..
Oh yeah--I'm starting to see these date rape comments about this song. WHAT??????
