just a thought (re: Amy Winehouse and Haley)

[schmozlo]

Thats why i had a hard time trying voiceing this.I had a feeling in me that Haley could be a replacement for Amy, but i didnt know if it was to soon to speek of it, and if there was any of Amys fans who would read this,I didnt want to offend them..But i did read in one of Haleys interviews that she felt this was the right time for her music...............But amy is amy and there couldnt be another singer who could duplicate her voice competely but Haley could come close

It all depends on the material that Haley is given for her first album. If Interscope realizes that there's a vacuum caused by Amy Winehouse's death, and gets some great songwriters/composers working on great material for the wonderful artist that Haley is, then maybe Haley can attract the kind of music fans who appreciated Amy Winehouse.

If they have other ideas and give Haley some second rate material that doesn't represent Haley's Soul, then Haley will in no way attract Amy Winehouse fans.

I hope they make her first album a first class effort.

Good point, when Haley was still competition I think she attracted many who really didnt expect to hear the blues, jazz and all the rasp that goes with it .She was a real surprise to me I hadnt, listened to jazz in years and that i found my self on rhapsody looking for jazz songs. I even picked up my guitar and changed up the old HOTRS. Hales is close to Amy in singing styles and love for jazz. Its all for the love of music. The little pony will do well. Interscope should give haley music that will sell. Thats just doing good business

Found this comment made about "You and I" at the time of the performance:

Haley got her hands on an unreleased Lady Gaga song...(her performance) gave us more of an Amy Winehouse vibe than Gaga.

Idol Chatter said this in their "Song Predictions For The Top 4: Leiber and Stoller Theme Night:"

“Is That All There Is?” by Peggy Lee

This song suits Haley’s vocal talents, she has that Adele/Amy Winehouse vibe, that jazzy soulful vibe. If she does this song, she will have another moment.

After all thats how she went from ground to Glory She went from being just a cool looking blond singer to being the hotest contestent that has and will ever come out out of Ai And she will have and she has had her moments.I really believe.it is matters of the heart.The soul, what you feel in your heart comes out in words Quote Stevie ray Vaughn said in a interview that he cant read music,But he playes what he feels all from the heart.haley has heart and soul.its a .generational thing with Haley.Her mom and dad her sister, all have awesom musical skills
