The 2nd single versus a Fall Tour versus nothing

[suggahinyerteeth]

Let me chime in on this topic. I am alway hesitant to give my opinions because opinions abound & are not necessarily very well received in the forum universe.

First of all, I would hope that it is not Haley's primary goal to become famous. Fame can be so fleeting & comes with so many pitfalls. She has put out a quality album & no amount of noteriety can take that away from her. Wanting her to become a household name is not a bad thing, but I would hope we are not trying to legitimize her by how many records she sells or how many tour dates she books.

Secondly, I feel that Haley is having the time of her life. Through her music she had been able to travel extensively & meet may people. She has done several photoshoots, made an awesome video & performed at some very high profile events. Even her AI experience allowed her the chance to perform in large arenas & experience that energy & love.

Finally, would it be so bad if she just ends up being a working entertainer. Hopefully she is budgeting her money wisely so she doesn't feel the pinch during the slow times. Before Haley sang with Curtis Mayfield I had never heard of him & he is playing Carnegie Hall. In fact, there are alot of respected musicians & performers who live their lives in relative obscurity while doing what they love. Haley's parents managed survive & raise a family while instilling their love of music onto their children...they weren't rich but they were loving & happy.

I have finally stopped lurking in the shadows and come into the light. I agree with your opinion Cherelann. And thank you for sharing it! The only thing that should matter is this: is Haley happy? I think she is. She is doing what she loves and has put out an amazing album. And just some food for thought....maybe just maybe, Haley is not in as big a rush as her fans are for her "Stardom" and all that it brings. Of course I could be wrong, but it seems more important to me that she constructs a lasting career rather than being just another "flash in the pan" singer. Plus having her music in movies and on TV is quite an accomplishment that some "Stars" haven't achieved. I think Ms. Reinhart will be around for many many years making quality music!
