Jacquie Lee and Melanie Martinez (TV) signed to Atlantic Records (Haley Related ish)

It's been recently announced that Jacquie Lee and Melanie Martinez from The Voice were signed to Atlantic Records.

Particularly considering Atlantic has been rumored as a possible home for Haley.

Loved both of these little girls. But it's Haley related for two reasons.

With Melanie, she..also..started a kickstarter to make herself a music video. Came up with this..



Which may actually be my favorite single from a reality singing competition star, ever. And considering how much love I have for Haley, Adam, Michelle, Jessica..and Carrie and Kelly being Carrie and Kelly...that's saying something. (Considering Melanie certainly didn't reach that level of love on the show.) And the video is awesome.

Let's hope it works the same way for Haley.

Second..Jacquie Lee.. Jacquie is probably one of the closest contestants to Haley's style that's been on since Haley. She's a bluesy rocker..but her more subtle songs (not displayed on The Voice) she plays with her head voice a lot, and has even a jazzy tone to the songs. (I think she's a bit influenced by Lana Del Rey.)

With Jacquie being singed, and considering that the cast of the voice literally had a cast of a significant amount of female bluesy rockers and jazz singers..(and a lot of people get casted on that show based on what the record company is looking for..) to go along with ZZ Ward starting to get some promo and push..as well as Grace Potter doing the same....and Pretty Reckless becoming decently popular (as well as Florence remaining around, and Paramore making somewhat of a comeback)..I'm wondering if this style is predicted to be making somewhat of a comeback..and if so.. that's gotta be good for Haley..

Jacquie doesn't have the vocal maturity and control of Haley, but she's clearly very talented. And I always thought, of any of the girls compared to Janis..she was actually closest to Janis' voice before the drugs.

Here's a few Jacquie Highlights (sidenote, it's clear from some of her youtube covers and comments, she's influenced by Haley. She's a Pia fan too.)
