That said, I don't want jazzy-Haley to take over. What drew my to Haley is her versatility with blues, rock and even pop. I do want jazzy-Haley to influence her songs, but I love, love, love the variety. It may take her longer to find that mass core audience, but it will be worth it and will last a lifetime (IMO).

There's so many different sides to her-at heart I think she's a blues/soul singer but that doesn't begin to tell the whiole story.Some people like to try and pidgeonhole her and use words like "niche artist"-and retro and throwback,etc mostly on the basis of one album I suppose.But all you have to do is listen to Follow Me and Spiderweb from that album to hear all the other possibilities.
I totally agree! During the 3 nights, I have to say that I had hoped that Haley might incorporate ''Spiderweb''. It is haunting and sexy, and to those hearing her for the first time, it would have shown off her diversity, IMO. It's smooth too, and fits well with the ''vampires'' of Vegas. And I refer to the sleeping habits (sleep all day, prowl the strip at night!)
Am wondering why she didn't include it.
