I believe there are tons of UBER-AWESOME happenings on the horizon for Haley and The Haliens.

HI...I have been a regular visitor here, but this is my first post. Thanks Miguel for this great site. I typically post to IDF and I just wanted to repost something I noted there yesterday. Let's PLEASE not get down about Haley not becoming a mega star overnight, and a "drought" regarding her prospects.... I agree that this is the "Calm Before The Storm"..with a great ride ahead. Please click link below about one famous record that got off to a somewhat slow start....

"Regarding Haley, the fact that she is the last one standing (after Pia's exit from Interscope/19 proper) ---this tells me that out of all the Season 10 Idols, Interscope/19 sees the brightest future for Haley. And they want to keep her and develop her for the long term. Remember "Listen Up" has only been out a little over three months.

NOT that I am comparing "Listen Up" to Michael Jackson's "Thriller", but interesting article link from NY Times Magazine---Thriller--30 Years Later talks about how when "Thriller" was released in November 1982, it got off to a slow start. The first single "The Girl is Mine" with Paul McCartney did OK, but the album did not take off until early in 1983 when "Beat It" was released. Then hit after hit followed.

So, I too, have bated breath for the critical next single from "Listen Up", "Oh My"--I hope, but "Undone" might be the one as well. Or both!

And, I think that all of these song placements from "Step Up" to VH1 to ESPN to SYTYCD to ABC etc portends very well for Haley. And she has been working with the Grammys too. And look at all the international love she gets. As someone noted, her songs are now being reviewed in the top echelons in Hollywood. Maybe I have on rose-colored glasses, but I still think "Listen Up" is just revving its engines, waiting for its breakthrough...."
