RMD posted these in Jeff Goldblum's thread, I'll answer what I can...
To preface, If you didn't know, Haley's team has been posting my video on Haley's channel. All I knew was they were working on getting passes for both Greg and I, and I was grateful to finally get it, they wanted access the Troubadour's board for me, but there wasn't enough time to work that out, fortunately, my mic set up did a better than expected job on the audio, better than I could've hoped.
Just like in Europe, they wanted to OK any video posted. Difference is, in Europe, they gave me the OK to post any video I thought was good on MY channel, after OKing the first video. This time around, they want to OK every video I post because this time they'll be posting them on Haley's channel. I've asked but not got a reply on which performance I can post on my channel. I haven't posted a new one for two weeks. It's unknown if there'll be some performances that may never allow to post. I have no answers other then what video they want me to edit and even then I don't know if they'll post it. I was afraid they wouldn't post LMF, but they finally did yesterday

I know the Haley Team has some new rules on sharing videos. I would also love to see “Somewhere In Between”, her opener, on video.
Centerpiece was a 3 part harmony of a song the Reinharts apparently used to sing, Alex Frank played bass, Harry played guitar.
I just hope they let me post on my channel what they don't want for Haley's. It's possible they won't but I hope they do

I did not watch Idol much this year, so maybe she shined on that show, but that night with Haley, her performance---was kinda weak and not so much for me. Haley was just in another zip code from her. Sorry Catie funs, MHO.
Tastes are subjective. What is clear is Catie had the most followers from that Season of Idol, engages her young fans who are active. Things you can't say generally about Haley's fans who probably average in their early to late 30's. Marketing is about bringing the most demographics to your client as you can. Currently, even posted after ET which many of Haley's fans like, Catie's performance with Haley is Out pacing ET in views, 3 to 1, 12,000 views to 4,000. So the marketing does have it's reasons...
If we really want Haley to succeed, we shouldn't be upset when she does something we may not care for, if the reason for it is to raise her profile. We know and trust Haley's instincts, but we wanted her to sign to a 'big' label, that's what happens, labels make their decisions up on what the numbers tell them, not her 'long time' fans. We got what we wanted, Haley is signed to legit entities in the music world... this is what it feels like. Good news Haley's taking a step forward, bad news, we won't have the freedom, maybe the songs we want. Be glad Haley probably has reserved some rights to make decisions, but this is what Labels/management are hired to do

No, the show was packed with stars and honestly, outside of Haley and Drew's fans, it wouldn't have the marketing impact they'd want (see above reply) Drew did play a nice set before Haley. He reached out and asked if I could post
his video on my channel so he could promote it.
