I'd much rather see 100% Haley without sharing the stage, especially with DD, who is kind of a mediocre lounge singer, with extra cheese.
Seems to me, so far, Haley's tours aren't that long. I think there was mention of having one for areas of the US she didn't get to, like the South and North West, but I don't expect Haley's tours to be that long a stretch at a time. A Month last year and just 2 weeks in Europe. She had long stretches w/ PMJ, but alot of the weight was carried by PMJ and Scott as opposed to Haley on her solo tour, so not as much pressure on her.
I guess what I'm saying is, it's still possible for Haley to schedule tours of stretches up to a month, yet still do these one offs....although ultimately, I'm with you... hopefully these 'one off' type shows w/ other entities, aren't an indication of whether there will be a tour to support her 3rd Album or not. It's not out of the question for Haley to split up her touring....tour for a month, take a couple or three weeks off, resume touring.... We're just not used to so much 'activity', bona fide shows, that maybe we're reluctant of whether it could be pulled off or not. If Haley can connect w/ the right person with strong management/touring experience...as much as Haley toured the last two years, it's well within her ability to put in a decent number of dates this year... an 'X' factor is how much she'd also be doing shows w/ PMJ.
Last year, when asked if she had any PMJ dates scheduled, her reply was, "I'll be doing their 'big dates'... it could be me reading into it, but there seemed to be an 'exclusivity' about her answer.... will that carry on through 2017? I've noticed that PMJ hasn't been using Haley's image as much in their recent advertisiig, not as much as previously, so that might be a reflection of Haley's reduced role w/ PMJ..... Scott is certainly bringing in the singers, will have enough for TWO troupes to tour Europe simultaneously, so PMJ may be preparing for fewer shows that will 'need' Haley
Things appear to be moving pretty rapidly in "Haley time" compared to her entire post Idol history, which might indicate that Haley's working w/ entities who have an idea how to get things done....so hopefully, that transfers over to the touring and promotional aspects of Haley's 'game'
