ISCAT and airhigh contacted me, they were in Vegas to see Haley perform w/ PMJ. Haley had just released her first PMJ cover, Habits, the beginning of an Epic partnership for both Haley and Scott Bradley (and Haliens
) ISCAT & airhigh sent me video of Haley performing it live, the first Haley/PMJ video posted on my channel
That March, an overseas influence came to #TeamHaleyFans. XAtlantic introduced himself to HaleyFans and Haliens in a big way as he was there that March evening at the Lido in Berlin to capture Haley's First appearance w/ PMJ in Europe. Suddenly Haley's fans in Europe could see something they might've thought was impossible. And with that, XAtlantic captured her first performance of Habits w/ PMJ in Europe.
This was especially notable because, up to this point, Haley had only really 'toured' with the Season 10 Idols, it is on this tour, in a few weeks, Haley would perform
Creep for the first time in Lyon, France.
Haley was coming to Europe in a BIG way....So impressed was Scott w/ Haley's performance of Creep, he
recorded it as soon as he could days later in Zurich. Creep was not only the first time Scott Bradlee had covered a song he had already covered, so impressed was he of the chemistry within that collaboration of artists, he did it again w/ Haley, Casey, Morgan and Ariana on
All About That Bass 
I, like many people who heard it, was STUNNED by the emotion Haley performed Creep in Lyon, to hear it live was the only thing on my trip to
see PMJ for the first time. If you look at my other videos from London, you can see that I was able to hold my camera pretty steady. When Haley performed Creep, my first time hearing her sing it live? All muscle control was lost. The harder I tried to control myself, the harder it was to hold the camera steady. It was magical, this was 'new' for people. PMJ's video of Creep had not been released yet. In this video, there's a rare moment where the audience is completely silent while she's singing.... when she sang "So fncking special" I heard gasping all around me....none of the whooping and whistling you hear today when she sings it. It was a thrilling and emotional performance. Creep O2 quickly blazed past Sail in views.
This was when my views started climbing, the beginnings of that 9.3 million views started that March in 2015
This trip was also significant in that I got to meet and talk w/ Anders Grahn for the first time, also meeting Scott Bradlee and Morgan James for the first time after the show
I had bought tickets to see PMJ in Seattle in hopes that Haley would be w/ them. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be, BUT Greg called me up, he had tickets to see
Haley perform in Laguna Beach....again #NoBrainer, Haley takes precedence over PMJ.
Greg and Mona gathered 30 of their friends to buy tickets to see Haley, so we were 10% of the audience LOL. The Story goes that because of the infamous LA traffic, Haley arrived later than she wanted. She only had forty or so minutes to do a run through w/ Dave Damiani, who had got acquainted w/ Haley's Folks when they stayed in the Hotel Damiani was performing during the last days of Haley's run on Idol. It didn't go well, the song they were trying to rehearse had an arrangement unfamiliar to Haley. She spent some time to greet us,
met every fan.
Turns out, even as flustered as she seemed before the show, Haley came out, guns a blazing and killed her set w/ Damiani. There was no sign of her frustration, a real pro. After her set, I got to sit down and talk w/ her. Gone was that tension and frustration. So I asked her what she thought, would it be OK if I posted the videos?
She said that she didn't think it went that well, she wasn't sure if it was any good. I told her, Trust me, you were great! She laughed and said OK, if you say so.
Thank goodness I 'fought' to be able to post this set, not only did
Haley blaze a Sharon Jones Classic, but she covered Amy Winehouse...
and the most viewed video on my channel, Haley owns "At Last"
Haley was making her
debut at the historic Troubadour. It was a first time I tried applying for a camera pass to bring my DSLR in. Originally, they told me standard charge is $350 per camera....a few phone calls and emails later (thank goodness for smartphones so I could show proof of the emails), they let me bring one camera in. Scott and Casey were in attendance, and with Jacob, Scott gives this great intro into Haley singing "Creep" at the Troubadour
