While I was driving home from work, I was thinking about how many people have seen the video. And I realized, in the grand scheme of things, it's a tiny splinter of humanity.
On the other hand, last week Idol was #1 in total viewers with an audience of 8.37 million for a show featuring Kelly Clarkson. That too is but a splinter of humanity.
And Haley has been featured in 3 videos that have drawn more than a million viewers since the beginning of the year. I'm not sure any Idol aside from Casey can say that.
Don't doubt it Miguel..
I think this might be "the real deal" for Haley (although she might still make it big finacially in that voice-over thing too)
PMJ has a big trend behind it.. it's no "one off" thing that Joey on American idol covered the PMJ version of fancy (although that's only showing 150k views)
Pop Music has been evolving/shifting/rotating so quickly the last few years that it appears people have a real hunger for new sounds that also have a driving feel ... Jazz influenced pop might be right "where it's at" and Haley is the sweetest for that sweet spot (might expand for Lake Street Dive too)
That's millions in just days Miguel and without that size of an audience existing already built in.
I do think it COULD be great to maintain connection with PMJ (EDIT) to be maintained for a while..(I've really felt she needed a consistent band with a full rhythm section including a drummer for years) I hope they do arrangement of some of Haley's own songs though!
