RE: What is your favorite Live Haley performance?
Hey Merc.. you're right about the double standard about "self confidence".. but I was trying to paint something beyond that I think also rubs people wrong that that is not sexist.
I don't want to derail the thread and as I said, was partially answering another thread. The title did suggest "and why" and I tried to take it to a "what I saw that others couldn't appreciate -how- special some performances were. If an atttidude/viewpoint toward aspects of the human experience made no sense to their own viewpoint/values.. how could they appreciate how well her stylings expressed attitudes cherished by others ?
I did use a few words that in retrospect could be taken wrong if people took the "judging oneself" without the concepts I put along side of "using humility" and trying to paint a picture "being proud of a day well lived" I meant the concept of judging oneself like " at least I can sleep with myself at night" for passing on an opportunity to make a quick buck doing something shady to profit at the expense of others. I want to be clear I never meant putting oneself before god in case anyone should have happened to read me wrong. I won't derail trying to clear up more.
You are right about Idol's approach backfiring ! (saying more to back you there would derail farther too.... but you're right)
