RE: The New Year (2014) and Halien reflections
I think we all have our desires as fans for what we want our favorite musician to be, and the success we want them to have. Listen Up was so amazing, that it really should have been much more successful. We also don't want to go through the risk of having our favorite artist stuck in limbo, without a label, and without the ability to put out music. And finally, we're a fan of a contestant from a competition show..we want to be right. We want that gratification.
In terms of my reflections from this past year, my mentality has changed a lot. I post a lot about Michelle Chamuel in her thread. I'm really more positive about her, than any other contestant I've been a fan of..that she could be a pop star if she wanted to. (Because of her resources.) But she didn't. From the very beginning she said she wanted to be a little bit outside of the Music Industry. She wants control of everything. I was disappointed at first. But I get it now. And I have so much music from her that I actually have to organize it all, with a promise of having a significant amount of more music. And as it turns out, the only thing I really care about is the ability to listen to more of her music, and get the opportunity to see her perform.
And I don't know what Haley wants. I know I love her voice. I know I love the songs that she writes, and the genres that she dips into. But as a fan, I want what will make her most happy, and the only thing that I really care about as a fan is that she continues making music, and I get the opportunity to see her live.
