Two past American Idol contestants in here …. that I know, Haley, in the middle and Casey started it out on the Bass.

i remember Casey./quote]

[quote]Ok, so the fellow and the girl in the middle were on American Idol, were the other two ladies? Very nice.

I have no idea. I don't watch Idol. I watch "The voice". I shared this from Marlene Nash

A few favorites from American Idol past.

CASEY ABRAMS was on American Idol.... too weird and too talented for that venue. He's the guy that kicks off this tune. Looks like he found a bunch of talent to play with today.

response to a share:

Kent, my son, Jordan, turned me on to this group several years ago. They are always fantastic, but I'm especially fond of this one. Haley, the first singer, is a Chicago girl!

The 1 (1st) to have a voice amazing, made me think to Amy winehouse.

response to a share:

Remember Hailey from American Idol

WOW, HAVEN'T HEARD SINGING LIKE THAT IN YEARS. WISH I HAD A CD OF THEM SINGING. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LISTENING TO IT..

This is Great..I have also seen a few versions of this...I agree this is the best.

I've seen it before, but cannot stop watching this! The instrumentation, the voices, the beauty, the talent, the message! All of it!

While I've absolutely Loved Haley doing Habits and Creep I've been more on the fence with All about that Bass
.. not that I don't think it's pleasurable sounding or executed incredibly musically..
... It's just that the song is a political one for me with a Teen girl, insecure with the body image forced on her by the media with more than just having curves but suggesting bigger bones and less than magazine figure.. insecurely in ways but fighting back in ways chanting an anthem of teen liberation.

to have it sung beautifully takes away from a strong political message...of empowerment for those told they're "flawed"

OK LOL got that off my chest ...

But as a "Brown Eyed Girl" sort of classic party song The PMJ version with Haley at the head is really infectiously pleasing sort of feel good song.

And ...

I Just heard it at a fancy Engagement Party at the Beverly Hills hotel...
... that Haley PMJ version of the song really could be a classic wedding song for decades... it was so fun to dance to (like brown eyed girl) .. and of course the teen anthem that Meghan Trainor sung just aint a dance song.. it's a chant along.
(props though to Meghan Trainor as a writer even of the PMJ version is built upon her catchy melody and lyrics that can also be sung in a purely fun way)

Haley's/PMJ's It's a cover to stand the test of time and be there to celebrate one of the most important thresholds of our lives ! It just fit so well!

Just re-watched this interview as it came up after watching Creep. Interesting Haley comment at 5:00.

[Tusk]

Yup, afterwhich, a few days later, she and Casey gave us this

[My Alter Ego]

Yup, afterwhich, a few days later, she and Casey gave us this

Having re-watched this version, despite the success of the PMJ video, this is actually so much more fun to hear. (I didn't like the tempo change in the PMJ version at all What an unfortunate decision!!)

[buzzenator]

My favorite part...at 0:27

"I got that boom boom..."



throw in the "twinkie" from Habits and we are having too much fun here!
