Balancing out the annoyance I experience with these various top 10 or 20 lists is the fact that Haley appears on so many of the lists. Since the lists are basically individuals in the media listing personal favorites, it is great to see she is held in high regard by those who are in a position to give a lot of publicity. Of course we already know a lot of these people adore her.
She is #7 in Daniel Fienberg's list, TV critic for the Hollywood Reporter
Quote:Initially miscast as her season's Token Rock Chick, Haley always had the slinky, jazzy, esoteric interests that have made her post-Idol career so frequently intriguing. The show's voting demo pushed Scotty and Lauren to the finals, but Haley's "What Is and What Should Never Be," "House of the Rising Sun" and "I Who Have Nothing" were probably the season's signature vocals and with Casey Abrams, Haley found the unlikely partner capable of making Idol duets unobjectionable. Haley also earns ephemeral bonus points for successfully voicing the main character, an 11-year-old boy, in Netflix's underrated F is for Family.
