Holy - I can't believe anyone managed to find that post, much less spread it around! WOW. Actually, double WOW.
(I'm the original author of the article, by the way, which is why I'm freaking out. Nothing to see here! Just general insanity).
Thank you all so much - I really appreciate that people took the time to read the post! Particularly since it's so long (but there's so much to say about Haley). It means a lot to know that fellow Haliens saw the article and enjoyed it.
And I'm sorry the videos aren't working. I didn't realize that was happening at all. It must be because I'm in Canada right now. I had no idea that youtube videos posted north of the border wouldn't work down in the States. I wonder if there's any way to get around that...

Noooo, we would not want to miss that version of BATJ. Although presumably, Haley would have sung it as her repeat performance on finale night - but it wouldn't have been her final moment on the show. And as final moments go, I don't think Haley's has been topped. I think it was incredible in large part because it was an exit performance - because she threw everything she had into it. There's such a feeling of joy and catharsis - and her improvisation is brilliant - and I don't think we would have gotten those things in a repeat performance.
It was the perfect way to end her run.
Well, okay, it was the second-best way to end her run. The best way would have been the victory (Sadly, I am still not over her loss).
