Haley stands out not only as my favorite singer ever on Idol but also for the "ride" she had on the show.From the bottom three finishes to her "late arrival"for alot of people with BATJ to singing a jazz classic with Casey to the tension with Randy Jackson to being knocked down twice and getting off the canvas each time to score a knockout with HOTRS and IWHN to falling down and not missing a beat on the Zeppelin song and scoring yet another standing O its unmatched for the sheer drama,suspense and sense of surprise that she brought to the show.

You know how we have 'Haley's Journey" (thnx to Hiphopgamer).... ?
We Haliens see it as a 'treasure', THE reason we hitched onto Haley's wagon....

I wonder if whoever holds the rights to Idol's performances(FreeMantle?), in the future, might ever release a series of their best Idols' 'Journey' aka. Carrie's Journey, Kelly Journey or Adam's Journey.

Otherwise, I don't understand why they are so strict about not allowing fans to reminisce about their favorites by taking down the videos or otherwise not having access to them

Lauren Alaina is set to perform on Tonight's Results show. I liked her better than Scotty and had some fun interactions with her at the Tour meet & greets and actually had dinner with Lauren's mom before the final U.S. Tour show in Rochester, NY. Not at the same table but within chatting distance.

....Playing The AI Haley videos playlist and I just realized a couple things that may be Haley coincidences:

Her first voting performance, "Fallin" her dial in number is ...IDOLS 09
It's also the only time she says the number out loud "nine" when the number is read (as if pleased she got number nine ). She usually just uses her hands to show the number
**The possible exception is for Piece of My Heart, where she puts up 2s and says "woo woo" and then Ryan says phones open for two hours and Haley echoes "Two hours" while holding up two fingers

The only other time she gets the 09 number is her final night in the competition, with What is and What Should Never Be...

Fallin' = 09
Blue = 07
IYBT = 05
YRGAHOM = 06
BATJ = 11
POM = 02
Call Me = 06
RITD = 03
Beautiful = 06
YAI/HOTRS = 05/10
Earth Song/ IWHN = 02/06

Top 3 Night
WIAWSNB/Rhiannon/YOK = 03/06/09

She started with '09' and ended with '09'

Oh my goodness, I love this video! It was so honest and so cute and exactly the way I acted at that moment.

She ain't the only one who teared up.

[NUG]

How did you find this video Himm? It's like the mom knew her daughter was going to react to Haley news... Either crying, or jumping up and down and screaming if Haley had made it to the finale.
