RE: Making it her own

I'm not as sold on that Vegas version of free. Its all a matter of opinion and personal taste of course, but the way she turns it into a ballad feels a bit forced.... the singing is beautiful but, I don't think it fits the song.

The song itself.. the words and the thoughts aren't half bad at all ... and there is a little sway to the tune that evokes the young relationship ending (and clearly its a younger ... going different ways in life , kind of break up.. not the end of a marriage or later in life sort of break up).

It isn't a terribly Inspiring sort of song though.. and all of Haley's songs kind of inspire .. with little veiled (but not said) "shove it , i'll do it my way's" undercurrents and there are more "how it can be" rather than "why can't it be" .. implying more a dream of something special rather than something falling short of adequate (why cant' it be sound like its falling short of adequate). Where does love go when its gone.. to me is such a inspirational though... that this beautiful thing drifted off into the stars and will land somewhere else with its blessing.. a cherished memory.. perhaps gone to soon but one you know is alive in its own way.

OK<

Back to free.. my philosophy aside, there was something to the lyrics and I think this rendition stays true to the song, gives it the life it can have.. without trying to twist it into something it isn't. What Haley sung in Vegas is the start to an entirely different song that haley could right for herself with some of the same thoughts..but different words and a different melody.. (LOL like I said. ...a different song)

He's the one I think did it the most justice that it could, given the songs limitations and playing up what strengths it has.

OH.. I need to say that I am 100% with your take on both Oh My and Undone.

That bridge replacement for the rap really is the best part of the song and flatters the other parts as well.

I thought that the iheart undone was perfect.. I don't think she needs to doll it up anymore. Sometimes I think she can fall victim to her playful side and kinda cheese some songs up for the fun and imagination of it .. but I like that in things like Santeria for sure!
