RE: Haley, Mark and Dylan Room5 10.28.2014
Thanks so much again to the resident Halien videographers, Rachel and Tusk, as well as the others who took great videos. Rachel’s pics are outstanding and along with Greg’s gorgeous pics preserve the moments beautifully. Also thanks to Miguel, John and Himm for the contributive posts on the gig.
Haley is sure in her element on stage with Mark Ballas, Dylan Chambers, Alberto Marzano and Casey. It is fun to see Haley grow as a performer and entertainer with each new appearance. Haley and Clare Reynolds seem to have a truly special songwriting rapport.
For me Haley’s breadth of music and appeal are like no other. I find myself really drawn to “Love Is Worth Fighting For” and “My Cake” for completely different reasons. One is very intense with a strong lyric delivered by Haley with a powerful yet plaintive sound and the other is just fun to groove to with Haley’s growling, scatting and soulful voice.
With Haley’s new ole co-publishing deal, their continued support and belief in Haley, the emergence of new songs and the upcoming EP announcement, I haven’t been this excited for Haley since “Listen Up!”
I usually refrain from giving my hopes for Haley since she knows what she is doing and the path she wants to go and I have been overjoyed following Haley’s career and listening to her new music. We love Haley’s voice and style and I want to echo the desire of a few others to see Haley with a strong group of musicians. Her musical partners in the past and at Room 5 even Casey up to this point has been a temporary relationship and they have their own aspirations and directions. I don’t know ole’s role towards Haley’s promotion but I hope they can help to bring in musicians to play with Haley to develop a cohesive and tight connection.

That pretty much sums up how I feel about everything.And another thanks for an excellent batch of new videos.I highlighted the last sentence because I really hope that can be a part of the next step for her.

RE: Haley, Mark and Dylan Room5 10.28.2014
Yeah I could hear his camera clicking away as I was recording.... I wouldn't be surprised if he had over....60? 80? pics for the night. He told me he had so many he had to delete a few.
I've suggested he might think about putting together a book of his photography, it's definitely that good, of high quality and has a 'voice'.
I posted on Dylan's Instagram that Greg would happily send him more of his pics if he wants. You can see the passion he puts in his photography, he's sent me some wonderful pictures, and is happy to share them with people, including Haley, Keith, Mark and Casey.

Thanks again.
Literally, my pleasure
BTW, I think what you mistook for Dylan 'helping her remember how Pathetic starts' is one of her friends in the audience (who she dedicated the song to) start singing the song prematurely, not Dylan
I do enjoy All About That Bass and the other performances, but, hands down, Pathetic hits that just right lane I love Haley's voice to reside... I'm getting goose bumps right now listening to it while I type
Just.... Just.... soooooooo gooood 
Quote:Pathetic
My Mama said "always look out for yourself
Don't give into anyone else"
But I never did baby
The trouble is the second, I tasted your lips
Its all over, you got my heart in a twist
And that ain't right baby
And it's all...
Sayin' its not fair cuz when you're not there
I'm so emotionally needy baby
Ohh I'm hoping no one can see me, baby
You got me so pathetic
Time was I'd be turning every head in the place
Now I'm just a waste of space
And its all on you baby
And it's all
And its not fair cuz when you're not there
I'm so emotionally needy baby
Ohh I'm hoping no one can see me baby
You got me so pathetic
Sayin' its not fair cuz when you're not there
Sayin' its so sad when times are bad
Sayin' its so sad when times are bad
Sayin' its so sad when times are bad
oooh, Sayin' its so sad when times are bad
oooh, Sayin' its so sad when times are bad
I'm sad, baby when you're not there, I'm so emotionally needy baby
Ohh I'm hoping no one can see me baby
You got me so pathetic
Sayin, it's not fair cuz when you're not there
I'm so emotionally needy baby
I'm hoping no one can see me baby
You got me so pathetic

RE: Haley, Mark and Dylan Room5 10.28.2014
Well, Tusk I have had a chance to listen to the videos a number of times  and the one I have gone back to most often is Pathetic. It does showcase Haley's range nicely with the sweet and soft at one end and the hard edged growl at the other. I think she interpreted it expertly. The crowd seemed to like it as did Dylan. BTW I also enjoy Dylan's guitar playing on this selection.
The way she changed Cry Me a River was a big surprise. The girl has talent
Haley kicked butt with the Bass song, which has played over and over in my head. I hate the song but it fit right in at this time and at that venue.
I like Knock Me Out. It was a stripped down performance and I think it is a song that would benefit immensely if performed with a band and the right arrangement.
Better was a good choice to start her set. It has soft and hard parts, and at the end Haley lets the audience know that she is a rocker.
