On the other, the information that John has presented (lack of views for "Oh My" on Youtube) does seem surprising! It is an infectious ditty!
In a way, both very real scenarios are puzzling -- at least, it is to me.
She hasn't been subtle about her reluctance to perform Undone either, she's basically said as much.
When asked, cautiously, by the host of that private party in LA, "You can't do ....Undone...?", Haley hesitated even then, then turned to Keith to see if he knew it.
(Keith hasn't been at the keys in all of Haley's live performances of Undone. Keith did not play, I believe, it's debut performance @ Americana or her iHeart performance of it)
That being said, that performance of the song in LA was amaaaaazing, heartfelt and soaring, combined with Keith's keys on the baby grand......
When I listen to her retool "Free" from Vegas, I almost get the feeling that she is doing in that performance what she can't seem to do, organically, while performing "Undone". In the Vegas "Free" there is the longing, the sadness, heartstrings. You would think that she could pull from the same resources to perform "Undone" that way, yet, it just doesn't come easily for her.
