https://twitter.com/MichaelSlezakTV For those Haliens who came 'late' to the Haley Train, TVLine and Michael Slezak produced this highly entertaining, multiepisodic weekly online review of Season 10 (and the growing legend of Haley and tying her in with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Power Puff Girs) listed together by fover:
http://haleyfans.com/showthread.php?tid=623
If you have the time, it's a fun and highly recommended viewing retelling of the S10 competition with Slezaks witty perspectives, and Jason Averett's creative video editing.
(he hated Haley at the beginning of the season, he's been a fan since  )
Quote:Haley Reinhart (sell): I know the judges raved about Haley’s cover of ”God Bless the Child,” but to me, this caterwauling wreck of a performance was like a movie that’s all special effects and no dialogue: By the time you reach the midway mark, you’re just praying for some respite from the relentless aural and visual assault. Haley comes across like one of those singers who uses every trick she’s got on every song she sings, without ever stopping to understand that greatness isn’t a point system tallying the number of runs, growls, and high notes you deliver, but rather, it’s about the emotional connection you forge with both song and audience. Plus, a little respect for the melody never hurt.
He talks about her "God Bless the Child" in episode 3 of this week, calls her a "Trainwreck"

His opinion of Haley starts turning this week with "I'm Your Baby, Tonight" and the Red Lipstick 'Disaster'

The video reviews begin Hollywood week

RE: Happy for Haley
"For those Haliens who came 'late' to the Haley Train,"
That is all true history and well told, but if you missed the Haley Train, that is not a full representation of Slezak and his reviews. He admits he was slow recognizing Haley, but by the end of the season he adored her and became perhaps her most staunch fan during the competition, writing and producing video commentary of each episode explaining why Haley is so fantastic in cutting detail. All this DURING season 10 and before some of the epic performances that were to come.
Many of us watch over and over again the multi-part interview with Haley after the season where he recounts her incredible AI journey complete with performances, judging injustices, righteous opinions and Haley's insights regarding the going's on at the show. It really is a masterpiece and if I ever met him I would buy him a beer. He said everything I would want to say, and seeing it said directly to Haley herself, and hear her laugh and see her delight, was an incredible thing.

Alpha 7388 -- well said. However, I'm not sure Michael's a beer guy, so if you are so lucky as to meet Mr. Slezak, I'd suggest you buy him a glass of sauvignon blanc, which seems to be his wine of choice these days.
