Mayfield interviews Haley in academic setting (lengthy)

[My Alter Ego]

Regarding the interview, my only issue was that Irvin seemed to focus too much on the American Idol experience and not on Haley’s recent work and future plans.

rmd, I had the same reaction. It seemed particularly odd to me since I think that Mayfield was, at the very least, initially "skeptical" of the AI "product."

However, this interview was for students in his a class (or, perhaps, it was open to those in music classes and interested in what Haley had to say) and maybe that's what the students were interested in hearing about. (Conversely, maybe it was Mayfield's way of letting his students know that the AI experience may not really be as "easy and glamorous" as it may seem on the surface.)

But I agree, it was a missed opportunity in regards to the other things that she's been doing lately to take charge of "her brand."
