Quote:We still don't know the whole story about what happened with Interscope. But Haley does. And now, the choice is hers, not based on the Idol contract. She can make sure that she signs with a label that believes in her vision, commits to her for a few albums, promotes her, and gets her on tour with a strong band.
I hope she is taking her time here, not in a rush, and is using the good counsel of all these contacts she is making in the industry. It appears as noted, that she is focused on working in the studio for now, getting songs done that she can shop to labels.
I too want her performing again, but hopefully with more than a guitar player to accompany her. To me her finest hour performance-wise was Lolla with a rocking band behind her. That is what I hope we see more of by the end of this year....hoping, hoping...

As far as what happenned with Interscope don't forget that she was one of many acts that they dropped around that time.Haley said it was around 60 and if you checked their roster before and after that looked about right.
Its true that record comanies are always dropping and adding arstists but 60 seems like alot even with a large company like Interscope and I think its much more related to what's happenned with the relatively recent downturn in the industry rather than to anything specifically related to Haley.
It can be frustrating that she's not out performing more right now and sometines I find myself wanting to think that she might have learned a few things at this point and that maybe she herself should be pushing for that but there's so much we're not privy to and I have to believe that she's made a decision to take her time and concentrate on the recording right now.
I totally agree on her performing with a band and not just one person backing her up.Hopefully the backing will be there for that.And I keep thinking tht SOMEONE out there has to want to give this girl a recording contract.As you say-hoping,hoping hoping.
