Malaysia: The Bee, 18th April 2013

[Miguel]

It's possible the band will return to LA and Haley will journey on.

Los Angeles to Okinawa = 6,424 miles

Okinawa to Kuala Lumpur = 2337 miles

Kuala Lumpur to Bali = 738 miles

So the appearance at The Bee might be, as F8 suggested, something they strung together since she had extra time.

That would make sense but they return to LA first.

@LyndylooLynne I will gain an entire day...I leave here on the 15th, & arrive in LA for what seems like an hour difference from when we left

I doubt that the band is flying back to join her (ck Keith's tweets, I think he mentioned being in LA or FL on her 18th / 23rd show and/or both).
Personally, I think the gap between Okinawa and Bali is a "working" vacation or working "vacation" for Haley (and Chiara).

Well, in Asia they love their Idols. Many others have made trips there to perform. Japan and Bali are Fox related and booked first. I am sure she has been told by Fox not to broadcast these types of private events. She is smart with keeping her contacts with Fox International which is helping her get exposure over seas. Malaysia was probably an add on booking since she is in the area. I bet she wished she could have made the trip once but it was not in the cards for her :wink:

My guess would have been they are testing the international/asian market, to maybe finally have an official LU release, but any explaination makes little sense with such short notice... barely enough time to get the word out for fans who want to see her, unless its for corporate or private events. The booking strategy for Haley continues to be confounding..

I don't know about their booking strategy but IMHO their can hunt three bird with one shot and at the same time added some $$ in the cashbox then ¿Why not do that?Maybe she can expand her fan base too.I only hope all the best for H.E.R. (the band is amazing)

I can't pretend to know what is going on, but continuing to receive exposure, especially overseas, is a good thing. In an alternate universe, Haley could be traveling the states in a beat up van playing in dive bars, so this is GREAT!

[Haleylvr4evr]

It would make sense for Haley to stay there and keep traveling on to save time and money. When is she going to Bali?

[Miguel]

Suspect Maylasia may be opportunistically sandwiched between the Okinawa event and the Bali event (which is looking more like it's what Stairway2Halien found: a private one on the 23rd for Fox International Channels).

Copied this from Singapore thread for clarity:

This could be the Bali event Haley mentioned:

Asia Pacific Pay-TV Operators Summit (APOS), April 22-24, 2013 at Ayana Resort & Spa

Several Idols have performed there before.
