All she needs is get busy.
I agree. I have complete confidence in Haley. She turns in fine performances now and they'll only get better when given an opportunity to consistently perform with her band in front of crowds that are there to see her.

The same guy started by saying imagine what Amy Winehouse would do with this. The videos of Amy's 2004 performances show her basically standing at a microphone and singing. He also pointed to "House of Rising Sun" as a lackluster performance that few would find engaging, saying Haley had "dead wooden eyes." When confronted with press accolades for that performance he dismissed them as hype to get votes (that post was later deleted by MJ).
"There are none so blind, as those who will not see." The above mentioned poster sounds like someone seeking attention, regardless of whether the attention is positive or his remarks are truthful. Good for MJ for deleting it.
I don't want to go into Amy Winehouse comparisons because it's simply not fair to either Amy (an obviously tortured soul) or Haley (a happy, young woman with solid, emotional family support, which is not to say that Amy's family did not try to provide that -- I don't know enough about her to know one way or the other.) The only thing that I really remember about A.W. is that video of a concert she was "supposed" to perform in (in Germany??), wherein she was incoherent and booed. A very short time later, she was dead. Perhaps the poster is one of those individuals who thinks that in order to be an "artist," one must have "suffered."
Or, perhaps, as I said earlier, the poster is simply seeking attention.
