RE: Happy for Haley

Quote:Randy Jackson at 23:38 makes the comment that songs that people know can't be changed much or people will lose connection with the original. I find it a hilarious comment because I found out about Haley through her version of "Creep" she sings with Scott Bradlee's Post Modern Jukebox. Then I got into Casey Abrams, and fell in love with their version of "Sail". The common factor is that those songs are both covers that are quite different from the originals. Scott Bradlee is one of the most versatile contemporary jazz pianists and to see Haley accompany with him with ease on many occasion shows her capableness. Her range and sense of pitch are both professional level, unfortunately in this day and age the understanding of those talents are quite rare. Even when she fumbles over words in that group song her pitch is dead on and she scats the rhythm so it fits into the background, in a live performance that would have been easy to laugh off.
I've been to a jazz concert where the band forgot to give the singer music for a song on the set list, the singer improvised the melody through scatting on the spot after the band played through the head once so she knew it. As a jazz musician myself, I know how cut throat the world of music is, even outside of the big stage. But the biggest question in jazz is, "can you speak the language?". If the answer to that question is a yes, you are invited in the conversation. So to bring this back together, no real musician should care about the audience when they play. Because we musicians have taste, otherwise we would think everything we have ever done is perfect. And no great musician has ever thought that, because if one did he or she would stagnate and then the music would sound dead, because the journey would have stopped.
Really cool expression of thoughts about music there!
You're doing a service by providing places that keep a conversation going Sir Tusk : )

Idk if you've heard this / know her (I believe she was on "American Idol") but holy shit. This is the most insane cover of all time. David Owen, if memory serves me correctly, you loved this girl's voice.

This girl has made me wish I had even the slightest bit of vocal talent to justify singing lessons AND forced me to rethink my disdain for all covers of this song.

#haleyreinhart anyone that can cover Zeppelin, Radiohead AND Spears and make them equally enjoyable? Has a fan in me.
