Two Haley songs cleared to sing on American Idol

Hmm...never noticed this before:

Ryan Seacrest: Is the next American Idol here in Milwaukee?

#1 & #3 were right there in that arena...Scotty & Haley

#1 & #3 were right there in that arena...Scotty & Haley

plus #10 or #11 Naima Adedapo
depending on whether you count her as #10 because Casey was voted off at #11 but was saved until his swansong at #6 came around again.

On the tour I was most impressed with Naima (besides Haley). She was very warm & friendly at the Meet & Greets in Milwaukee & Rochester. I didn't stay for the M&G's in St. Louis & Rosemont. Naima gave a stunning performance every time.

Naima might have been#9 too...she was double eliminated the same night as Thia, right?

that was 10 & 11...Naima and Thia...viewer choice on which one is 10

#9 was the shocker Pia...with only two girls left after that, and now you know the rest of the story.

you're right, Buzzer. I stand corrected

Maybe this has to do with AI last night... Haley is back on iTunes pop chart:

Singles:
955. Haley Reinhart - Undone
1030. Casey Abrams - Get Out
1031. Haley Reinhart - Free

Albums:
316. Haley Reinhart - Listen Up! (Deluxe Version)

And still climbing!

Current pop chart (single):
806. Haley Reinhart - Undone
1086. Haley Reinhart - Free

Current pop chart (album):
249. Haley Reinhart - Listen Up! (Deluxe Version)
1266. Haley Reinhart - Listen Up!

it'll be interesting to see how it'll go when AI airs the contestants singing Undone...

Can anyone think of anything else other than AI to still boost Haley's sales? Just a "small" sample of "Free" on AI?


Current pop chart (single):
788. Haley Reinhart - Undone
1177. Haley Reinhart - Free

Current pop chart (album):
202. Haley Reinhart - Listen Up! (Deluxe Version)
661. Haley Reinhart - Listen Up!

The only thing that will boost sales is exposure. Haley needs to tour extensively or get on TV in some way. Barring that, she needs a video that goes viral or a song that's used in a hit movie. Allen Stone has been performing all over the world. She would have benefited from touring with him with a full band backing her.

At this point, if she does have interest from another label, it would be best for her to concentrate on creating the best sophomore album possible. She can't afford to flub her second effort (artistically). If she consistently delivers good music, she will eventually break through.

Well put, it will be a hard balance with her sophmore albumn - what she loves and what people love and want to hear - both main stream (pop is popular now) as well as us Haliens. She has to develop her nitch (IMHO) pop is not her and at the same time find something that others will notice and play. I am afraid without significant radio play it will make it harder for others to learn to listen, enjoy and appreciate alternative music to the cr*p on the radio now.

Scotty's also making an appearance on Idol.

Scotty McCreery Tweets, “Yep, I’ll be on Idol Wed night, but it’s quick & at the start of the show..”

Saw this in a Tweet today from a Halien...("Let's Run Away"). This is an American Idol site with a robust library of Haley videos that can be sorted by video views and publish date. Pretty cool, all in one place.
