Lol Nigel, like the tacked on bit about staging. Interestingly, overall, the feel was half way between SYTYCD and IDOL, but still quite enjoyable. Get the feeling she's well liked by the staff at AI; they seemed to have worked hard to make this a grand production (whether you liked it or not).
Ah, no more just our little flower child.
That's the reason I'm not ready to be critical about the production, I really think they (production) tried very hard to make her look as good as they could...It might not have translated to everybody, but it wasn't for lack of trying, and I whole heartedly appreciate the effort.
A Few hours out, I'm just disappointed that the heart of the song, it's depth, was non existent in this truncated version. I'm disappointed because all those new to Haley and "Free" didn't get to see the whole performance and song.
But you get what you can, and I have to believe she gained more fans from this exposure.
