RE: The 2nd single versus a Fall Tour versus nothing
Very true statements Tusk. I'm starting to feel that it was both a blessing and a curse that Haley got signed with Interscope rather than a label that would have felt she was their top meal ticket. I also agree that American Idol hasn't done Haley the favors she deserves with her return in a dark shadowy birdcage with styling that made her look vampish and reinforcing those opinions that didn't support her during season 10. It wasn't even a live presentation and the set was someone's disconnected vision of what the song was about.
What does make me feel wonderful however is the quality of the supportive comments that Haley gets everywhere that a video or blog or interview or review gets posted. And the fact that she has some of the highest numbers of views of just about any recent new performer to the scene. I just wish that would all translate to huge sales although I wouldn't be devastated if she ends up back locally where I can see her perform on a regular basis with or without her family's accompaniment. Sure I'd love her to be an international superstar packing giant arenas but I don't want her to lose a sense of her roots and still play the intimate settings where I can feel upclose and personally involved.
