Haley Reinhart AI (After Interscope) at the Cosmopolitan

^ A-maze-ing! SMH. Haley brings conviction, power and confidence to that performance. Her scatting is brilliant, going from honey sweet to the edge of guttural. She did did so much with that song. My favorite of the songs you have posted so far.

You've gone above and beyond the call of duty Tusk. And we appreciate it.

John I completely agree with everything you said! Haley is completely in her element here. WOW!!!! Long Live Queen Haley!! Hope she gets more gigs like this one!!

And Tusk, man I wish we could have been there with you! Thank you for all your videos and Swansteel for all his updates and tweets! Your simply Maaavalous!!

Haley is always changing up her delivery, so you never get the same performance twice, that’s what makes her so special. Her jazz chops, improvisation and scatting are out of this world. And the way she incorporates these elements into her own music is why she is my favorite artist and Tusk’s videos have permanently caught this for all of us to enjoy. Thanks again to Tusk and also Swansteel for his accounts and tweets during the show.

Soooo glad Tusk captured that unbelievable version of Moanin. One of my new all time Haley favorites. I am wondering if Haley is developing this wonderful impromptu style with each new experience or is she just showing us a part of amazing talent that we haven't really seen. Either way, I am grateful to be along for the ride and feel more strongly then ever that eventually her talents will be fully exposed to the rest of the universe.

My thanks also for all the tweets and interesting details.

Rock-a-bye tusky, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come tusky, cradle and all

Well I didn't hear about any plane crashes heading back to Seattle so the bough didn't break and his cradle didn't fall...thank god. Sleep well Tusky...and may visions of Haley Plums, dance in your head!

The Halien Cradle is rocking so much better filled with Tusk Videos and Swansteel's Updates. Time for Yanni to take over the controls of our Cosmopolitan Journey.

In SF now, just checked my email & received a reply from Harry....I have to admit to getting a little misty @a proud Pappa's amazement with his daughter. All the thanks are appreciated, but this...this reply makes it all worth it

Awww, so happy for you Tusk. Can you imagine how proud you would be to have Haley as your daughter, and see her sing like that. I'm sure her parents feel so indebted to you for capturing those moments for them. Wow!! Brings tears to my eyes thinking about it....

I think the Reinharts just added another member to their family. ( first Himm... and now you)

I thought I might share a one fan perspective of Haley in Vegas from my vantage point here at the Buzz retreat center in beautiful Minnesota. This morning there is a light, powdery layer of snow on everything, giving a postcard like feel to the picturesque outdoors...the perfect setting for being indoors, where it is a balmy 68 degrees, while viewing all things Haley.

The coffee pot is working tirelessly providing my legal drug of choice for the early morning hours of what has been a marathon session of The Queen live from the Cosmo. The attire is casual, almost grunge like, here in front of the dual computer screens in what some might call an electronic command center on the verge of becoming hoarder like. I've got my noise cancelling headphones, wireless keyboard and mouse at the ready...and spare AA batteries.

HaleysTusk has produced 21+ videos of every Haley performance at the Cosmo...just think what he could have done if Haley had given him a hug and a kiss on the cheek! OMG...the guy would probably be dead right now from sheer exhaustion. If you have ever been at the airport in Vegas and looked around at the people waiting to fly home, many have that glazed, almost death-like look of "I've been awake for 72 hours".

I can confidently say that the 2012 Cammy (like a Grammy) for best videographer by a Halien goes to...envelope please...HaleysTusk!!!
The guy has outdone himself again. Instead of pushing Haley to "follow" people, my advice to her...Hug a Fan!

Nothing but the darkened sludge at the bottom of the coffee pot now, but the caffeine induced, creative thinking has really kicked into high gear. We will never tire of hearing another version of 'Moanin', 'God Bless The Child', 'House of the Rising Sun', or anything that is scat worthy to be sung by The Queen! I may have left one out, so feel free to fill in the blank ______________. The girl has the range, the chops, the pitch, the looks, the hair, the smile...and the shoes for it! More jazz & blues, more scat, more gigs like this...more everything!

Oh, and just an FYI...creative people that are over-thinkers (OCD) do not take creative assistance or suggestions for improvement very well. That being said, it would have been nice to have a shot of the room for the size and scope of the audience and area she was performing in.

I'll be cleaning up my mess here, don't worry...I know where everything is.
