RE: Haley Reinhart's funky a$$ reality project

Tusk, you don't know for sure if Haley even saw your little Twitter rant yesterday. With that being said, none of us know what Haley was doing when she met her goal. We all know she isn't a computer/internet nerd like most of us haha. She might have genuinely been busy. She's obviously been working on writing out the lyrics, and she had a huge Twitter party today, which I think made up for it.
Don't be so hard on yourself. But I'll be honest when I say I wouldn't have tweeted Haley some of the criticism I saw people tweeting her yesterday..but hey, that's just me. All I know if I were her I wouldn't like seeing people tell me how to do things. As much as we wish she was a little more involved on social media.

What do you mean? She is VERY happy in her tweets 
I'm reluctant to dive into this topic, but there are times when someone in Haley's position needs to engage with the fans. Twitter was buzzing with anticipation all weekend, dropping hints, asking for some attention (etc). What people got was (1) some vines on Saturday of Haley playing around with her buds, and eventually (2) a tweet with HOLY CONNOLI and a handful of emoticons, and a tweet that she was writing lyrics.
People wanted to share the excitement they were feeling and what they got was a couple little announcements after the fact. I don't think that satisfies a group of fans that contributed their money to the project and often promoted it in other ways. She missed the party. Not a big deal, but an opportunity lost and the kind of thing that can contribute to an erosion of support over time. Kind of like a situation where a bunch of people campaigned and gave money to a politician who wins despite his limited participation in the campaign process. And after winning he only gives a brief announcement proclaiming the win.
When $27,000 was reached Haley gave an update on FB and the rate of contributions picked up. But given that this is HER project, aside from the pre-established perks, she hasn't been all that engaged in the process of generating funds. She needs to nourish her supporters more consistently.
I hope that she gets someone on her new team who helps her use social media effectively.
Or something like that.
You read my mind.

The Alchemist is very uplifting!![[Image: BkpZw0pCYAAY80T.jpg]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BkpZw0pCYAAY80T.jpg)
But the bottom line is who am I to be upset if she doesn't full time sweet, she made her goal and that what matters Im sure Hales is more than happy to still be in the game and to have fans that support her , and im one of them.So I retract the statement I made about wanting to be more of a twitter nurd.If you see her in person, she gives you the feeling that your appreciated. Her music and attitude holds water.so if she choses not to be so much of a social Medea freak ill let it be at that .One thing I know it that she does love her fans ( loved by Hales). Good luck Haley and ill see you in LA , just do more gigs lol.
