Haley appearing on Idol - Feb 18 2016

[Himm2]

Is idol sabotaging Haley again?

[Miguel]

How is Adam doing? I did a quick search and found he's the nephew of Carlos Santana.

"The most important thing in my family was to learn how to carry yourself, play in tune and make good choices along the way," Lasher said.

[Himm2]

Hmmm...Himm. So Adam and Kory? That's not what I wanted to hear. I'm guessing that's CHFIL she's singing w/Adam.

YES...the only pairing photo not accounted for:

Nice find Steve!

Adam and Kory didn't make it. Both were cannon folder. Haley probably dug connecting with Carlos Santana's nephew though.

Eilonwy_has_an_aardvark's early assessment of Adam:

This one... I don't really like his vocal tone, but I'll be playing one of his originals and get really interested in where the music is going. I kinda wish I'd encountered him somewhere other than this season of this show, as there's musical intelligence here that I find appealing, but there are a number of contestants where I'm excited about both the music and the vocals.

He needs to watch out for situations where the voting audience's touchstone performances for the song he's covering have bigger and better vocals -- for instance, his cover of Wicked Game falls flat for me because I have so many other reference points from great singers.

Eilonwy_has_an_aardvark's assessment of Kory:

Nice voice... definitely the quirky dude... his phrasing on his tubies has me giving up halfway through, because he likes pauses so long that things don't flow. If he ever needs to be bussed, a song that requires both speed and breath control would take care of that.

Doesn't each returning idol sing with two different contestants? Shouldn't that leave all of the above as a potential pairing for Haley's second song, since none of them are listed twice. Or am I missing something, which wouldn't surprise me.

Lee Jean - Daughtry
Manny - Jordin
Amelia - Kellie
Shelbie - Constantine
Trent - Jordin
Dalton - Daughtry
Adam - Haley
Jenn - Constantine
Olivia - D Cook
Tristan - Kellie
CJ Johnson - Jordin

What you're missing probably is a picture of the other paring: Kory - Haley.

I'm looking forward to Haley singing...no matter who its with

[john]

So here is a Kory Wheeler performance


And Adam

To be fair, none of these contestants are great. Jenn is fun. Avalon is likable. Trent is experienced. That WGWG that Lauren was crushing on will probably win. But none are great, it's a stretch to even call them good.

So, she got two vanilla guys..they can be her background singers. I will be upset if they are singing "you Oughta Know" and "Earth Song" though.
