Haley Reinhart - All Performances from American Idol Season 10

[@andreaschmitt5116]

All these years later, it's painfully obvious the producers threw every obstacle they could think of in her way; bad song options after her strongest weeks, forcing her into treacherous choreography during difficult songs, mentors who pretended to ignore her talent. Yet she kept going. She and Casey brought jazz to the show that year and it was a delight. So happy she found Postmodern Jukebox.

[@bellechocolate6064]

She writes her own music now. Its incredibly healing

[@bullfrog5037]

You're way too over dramatic. The only reason why Haley didn't win American Idol was because of power voting. Had only one vote per person been permitted instead, Haley would have easily won the show in a major landslide.

[@bsenka]

Agreed. I found Haley on PMJ (the Mad World duet with Puddles was the first time I heard her), and was blown away by her talent. I later found out she was on American Idol, so I searched and found this video. I was very underwhelmed by what I heard here in comparison. I know nothing about how the show unfolded, what was happening behind the scenes, etc, but it's crystal clear that most of these were terrible song choices for her voice, and a tremendous waste of her talent.

[@bullfrog5037]

@@bsenka You're mother obviously dropped you on your head when you were a little baby. I mean, something bad had to happen to you when you were a little baby to make you have such piss poor taste in music. By the way, moonbat, Haley hasn't toured with PMJ in six years. So her days of touring with PMJ are long over. In fact, it was Haley Reinhart who made PMJ become a viral sensation. Six years later, they are still singing Haley Reinhart covers in their shows with big ass water buffaloes and steadily declining. By the way, the Mad World cover with that big ugly ass Clown who can't sing was literally utterly atrocious. Hence, I'm not surprised that is what turned you into a Haley Reinhart fan but only when she was with PMJ. As your taste in music sucks to high heaven.

[@billyc768]

​@@bullfrog5037 The reason Haley didn't win is because the fan voting was mostly 12/13 year-old girls, and they voted for Scotty McCreery because he was "cute".

[@jessalynechano6545]

She should have won. Period.

[@speyon]

She shouldn’t. She’s way way wayyyy better than the rest of the contestants!!! But that doesn’t mean she should have won this type of massive TV show. She ‘s the sexiest, most sophisticated female singer I know, but she belongs to a different place. Her amazing quality and extreme sophistication is not compatible with massive acceptance. Pop and Country is nice, it’s ok but a lot lower quality. It was a mistake to make her sing so many pop songs in this show. She would have had more chances staying where she trully belongs. She shines a lot there too of course but not as much as she does when she sings swing jazz or soul. She shines like the biggest star there. Shes like gold, but not for massive pop or country loving audience of todays world.

[@gynack]

@@speyon The only thing her ability isna compatible with is the crazy voting system that allows people to fire off votes continuously for two or more hours depending on the voting time allowed. You can imagine the youngsters voting with their hormones hundreds of times for Scotty and his school girl partner in a romance (that actually never was). Had voting been sensibly restricted to just a few votes per phone number the result would have been very different.

[@patriciaminer7491]

HOT DAMN!! She was SPECTACULAR

[@fannygarciaphoto]

who won?

[@robertrodriguez1964]

It's kind of a Bittersweet situation. On one hand many believe she was way better than the other two. But if she did win, she would have been locked into a contract with the show. Which means quite possibly we never would have found her on postmodern jukebox. I cannot honestly tell you any of the songs that season's winner put out.

[@Sejuani89]

Her voice is so free.. Its like theres no limitation to her vocal range and ability... She never struggled on the high notes it just flows out of her mouth like she was just speaking.. plus she got the best legs ever!

[@thesummerland6165]

agree, a natural...rare talent

[@taylorbohn3038]

Exactly. This girl had near flawless vocals throughout the entire show. Her soulful raspyness that she effortlessly is able to sing always gives me chills. A couple in particular that Haley ABSOLUTE SLAYED were Bennie and The Jets & House of The Rising Sun. 2 of the best I've ever watched on AGT. I mean she has not only her voice but exceptional stage presence with how she walks and moves her body. Also, GORGEOUS legs on this lovely lady! She just immediately captivates me with how beautifully her music sounds

[@linda5565]

I totally agree with your evaluation of her voice, it does just flow out of her mouth.

[@larrylangdon38]

I thought some of these thoughts too, then I suddenly realized she IS IN PERFECT CONTROL! None of the rasp or emotion just "happens" - it's obviously exactly executed as she wanted it. Supernatural! Never seen anything like it. Even the gestures and facial expressions. My god, it's amazing.

I saw her open up for Steven Tyler at Ribfest in Chicago this past Saturday and she killed it. Meanwhile, when Steven was doing his show later that evening, he gave a big shout out to Haley Reinhart, "the real winner of season 10 of American Idol." I thought that was really cool and very nice of Steven.

[@davidhill8565]

Purple & Gold I agree with Steven Tyler on this. Haley Reinhart should’ve won instead of Scotty McCreery.

[@garyspence7949]

I just just watched Haley's initial audition. I think Steve Tyler had the hots for her from the get go. Go Steve....... you dirty old man......... Rock on......... You are right...... She should have won!!!

[@gynack]

Purple & Gold I know Steven liked her, but he never waxed as so eloquent over her performances as he did over other people, almost damning her with faint praise. I felt that to a large extent he was pretty well going along with the idol script. However, it was good to see him finally so sickened by the ridiculous, unjust criticism Haley had from Randy and JLo after Earth Song that he flatly contradicted them, and told Haley not to listen to them because they were both wrong. One of the clips of it shows him making pretty derogatory gestures and facial expressions when JLo and Randy came back to try to explain themselves. He didna say another word but he was eloquent in expressing what he thought about them .

[@vidpie]

​@@gynack Steven Tyler did an online interview with Ryan Seacrest that night. He elaborated: "Randy's not a singer...She nailed it. She used her voice just the way she was supposed to...she delivered it like the blue plate special, it was just so good...it showed she had emotion, and it showed she could sing...(the bussing) pissed me off...the best singers have character...If you watch Reinhart up there, every bad comment she gets, it rolls right off. That’s how good she is. The one thing I’m a little afraid of, America’s been wrong before. The very one that came out on top, didn’t win first, right? They were on the back lines? Sometimes that character is a little bit to push people away."

[@gynack]

@@vidpie I knew nothing about idol in those days so I missed all those extra snippets. In fact, I wouldna have been interested then - unless I had heard Haley. It's only some years later that I first heard of her, initially with PMJ. However, I did realise immediately that she was so different, and so outstanding. So I'm always interested in hearing now about these things at the start of her career. I did get to see her in Glasgow in 2017, but there's no word of her coming back to Scotland so I just have to content myself to finding out more about her from people like yourself. That's just an interest. The main thing that her music is out there for everybody. I really do take the point about the importance of Haley signing for a major label to be promoted to a big audience that have had little chance to know anything about her and how so outstanding she is.

[@kira-xr1kl]

It's been 8 years and I'm still mad she didn't win

[@gailremp3628]

Please get over it. She's doing fine. Really. There's a lot of other things in this world to get mad about. Her not winning eight years ago is not anything that is that important... not really. Remember to VOTE! Funnel that madness into something productive. Ok? THanks. Peace.

Look at it this way if she would have won, she would been on contract. If she was on contract she might not have hooked on with PMJ.

[@bertjones3010]

Not so much she didn't win, but more pissed about how she was abused by some of the judges.

[@hydrolito]

She didn't want to win because she did not want them to control what kind of recordings she produces.

[@davidhill8565]

Steven Tyler was right: Haley Reinhart should’ve won instead of Scotty McCreery. Scotty McCreery, who sounds like any other male country singer, relied on fanbase and country music’s luck alone to win the competition. On the other hand, Haley Reinhart relied on performance, originality, perseverance, and stage presence.

[@csrstlpg9954]

Hello! I totally agree!

[@davidhill8565]

CSR STLPG Fans of Kris Allen and Phillip Phillips claim that they’re unique, but I don’t buy it. There are several artists like them and Scotty McCreery. They’re the kind of artists that most people hear on the radio on any given day. Being unique as a White guy with a guitar is easy as pie. Being unique as a pop or R&B diva is a huge challenge.

[@lw4011]

Honestly I think that she is kind of boring. When I heard her first i was like 'wow, she is the best singer I've ever heard' but I can't listen to her voice for more that 20 minutes. That is a bad thing for a singer. And I guess because every song she sings sounds the same she didn't won, even thoug her performance etc. were better.

[@SynocolGaming]

where did he say that?

[@p3rrypm]

David Hill I dunno, her voice is unique, but I didn’t see anything truly great here. Although the vaudeville duet with puddles was incredible, but that was long after the competition.

[@jpmahoney56]

This girl has got it all, she deserved to win. Talented, great voice, damn good looking, and fantastic stage appearance, she knows how to hold an audience. I would pay to listen to her in concert. Too damn bad people missed it when voting.

[@theblackdog2399]

People didn't miss it when voting. It was the young adolescent females who always voted as a humongous power voting bloc that stole the show from Haley. Had American Idol not allowed power voting, the true winners of the shows would have always won. As those young adolescent females always power voted for only young white males to be the winners and regardless of their talent or more often lack thereof, and in season 10, they not only voted for the young white male as always but they also voted the female they were shipping him romantically with as the runner up well. Hence, Haley ended up finishing third. Nonetheless, if there had been no power voting allowed, Haley would have easily been the winner of the show and would have won the show in a major landslide. Which is why today most people still can't believe she actually lost. In fact, it was that power voting that American Idol foolishly allowed that eventually caught up with them and in which caused the show to come to an end.

[@briannalee1998]

Right?! Idk how Scotty won. He was good, but not nearly as talented as Haley, Pia, Lauren, Casey, and the other contestants that year

[@davidhill8565]

@@briannalee1998 Also, Phillip Phillips is not nearly as talented as Jessica Sanchez, Joshua Ledet, and 5 others from his season. Kris Allen is not as talented as Adam Lambert, Allison Iraheta, and 5 others from his season. Nick Fradiani is not as talented as Clark Beckham, Jax, Rayvon Owen, Tyanna Jones, or Adanna Duru. Chayce Beckham is not as talented as Willie Spence, Grace Kinstler, Casey Bishop, Alyssa Wray, or Deshawn Goncalves.

[@tumbleweedconnection7906]

As far as I'm concerned idol ended after she sang House of the Rising Sun. That performance shut the whole series down for good. No need for anyone else to sing on that stage after that..she killed it!

Seriously. I remember few performances after seasons on seasons of the damn show, but of the handful that stick in my brain still a decade later, three of them are Haley's. House of the Rising Sun being right up top. Better than the original it'd be if she recorded a full version.

[@clintlautner9542]

The generation of people who voted at the time didn’t like any of the songs that she sang and couldn’t see what a great singer and performer she is beyond that. She’s probably the most talented contestant to ever be on the show.

[@bullfrog5037]

Had there been only one vote per person, as opposed to almost unlimited power voting, Haley would have easily won American Idol in a major landslide.

[@bullfrog5037]

@fotter9567 In a power voting system, anyone can vote as many times as one desires to vote. The power voting system that American Idol employed meant that young white male contestants inevitably won the show all the time because young adolescent teen age females throughout America would always pool together to form a humongous voting bloc and then always power vote for the cute white guys regardless if they were the most talented or not. In Haley's season 10, Haley finished in third place because of power voting. As that humongous young adolescent teenage female voting block, of course, right on cue, voted for Scotty McCreery first and also for Lauren Alaina second because they were shipping Lauren together with Scotty romantically. Haley, got left out in the cold at third place. Nonetheless, in season 10, Haley was easily the most talented contestant by far on the show that season, as she got more standing ovations than all the other contestants combined, and had there had been a "one vote per individual voting system" instead where everybody got to vote only one time for their favorite contestant, Haley Reinhart would have easily won American Idol in a major landslide. In fact, the only time that a female contestant won American Idol when the show was still on Fox after Haley was a contestant on American Idol was in season 12. However, the American Idol producers rigged that show so only a female contestant could win in season 12. As after the season 11 show where a young male contestant won the show again, a contingent of fans formed together and threatened to sue American Idol of sexual discrimination. Thus, America Idol responded by intentionally rigging the show in season 12 so only a female contestant could win the show. As every male contestant on the show in season 12 was voted off the show even before the first female contestant on the show was ever voted off. Hence, it was obvious that the season 12 season had been rigged by the American Idol producers so only a female contestant could win the show. As that was the only time the American Idol producers had rigged the show for that specific purpose that I'm aware of. Now also during Haley's season 10 show, the American Idol producers were deliberately trying to get Haley voted off the show for some reason since her very first live performance on the show. As they enlisted judge Randy Jackson to undermine as many of Haley Reinhart's performances as he could. Then when Randy Jackson miserably failed to get Haley voted off the show by the middle of the season, the American Idol producers also enlisted JLO too to join Randy Jackson in double teaming the undermining of Haley's performances and at that time, they also got far more aggressive in their attempts to undermine her. However, even after that, they miserably failed to get Haley voted off the show until that humongous contingent of young adolescent teenage females did them a favor and did it for them. Why the American Idol producers wanted Haley voted off the show from the very beginning? Who knows...probably because they felt she she was so talented it wasn't fair to the other contestants, or perhaps they thought they could get higher ratings for the show by getting her voted off. In any event, season 10 of American Idol is the season that had by far the most overall talent out of all 15 seasons on Fox. I don't include American Idol on ABC because it is a completely different show altogether. As the new American Idol isn't nearly as competitive as the old American Idol show on Fox was. The name of the show is the same, however, the show is not the same.

[@pistolpackinpete43]

Back when they had to perform like 40 times. She was my favorite- her and Casey- but she was by far and beyond the most talented. She got robbed. A lot of her song choices were whack, but every performance was great

[@bullfrog5037]

@@pistolpackinpete43 Overall, I liked her performances on Idol. However, had American Idol only permitted "one vote per individual voting", as opposed to "almost unlimited power-voting", Haley would have easily won American Idol hands down.

Indeed, here's an example of her latest release. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGSwaKKVbrR7fKM&ab_channel=HaleyReinhart Haley's biggest problem is for some reason she avoids major record labels like the plague, even though they have all been trying to sign her like forever. I don't know what it is. Is it fear of failing or is it an obsession to remain independent forever. I just don't know, but damn, I wish she would sign with a major record label and be done with it.

[@davidhill8565]

Vice Grip Adam Lambert, Haley Reinhart, and Jessica Sanchez should’ve won seasons 8, 10, and 11 respectively. Those who voted for Scotty McCreery or Phillip Phillips chose popularity over talent.

[@gynack]

@@vicegrip7376 If we're considering them as vocalists, it doesna matter who writes the songs. That's irrelevant. It's a different skill or art. Ella FitzGerald, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, to name just three, never wrote their own material. There are professional songwriters out there who that very successful artists get new material from. More talented overall a singer-song writer may be, but not necessarily a better vocalist. Having said that, I rate Haley as a better vocalist anyway, good though the others are, regardless of her song-writing.

[@vicegrip7376]

@@gynack I agree, Haley is a world class vocalist. Indeed, she is one of the best vocalists in the world there is. However, unlike Ella FitzGerald, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley, Haley won't sing any new music unless it is written or co-written by her and/or produced or co-produced by her. Now, on the other hand, there is no better cover singer in the world than Haley Reinhart. Furthermore, also unlike Ella FitzGerald, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley, Haley refuses over and over and over again ad nauseam to sign a contract with a big major record label and even though they are constantly always trying to sign her. As something always prevents her from pulling the trigger. Don't know what it is but whatever it is, I wish she would finally resolve it.

@@davidhill8565 The only reason why Haley and Jessica didn't win was because of those young teenage adolescent females who always power-voted as a humongous voting block every season for only young white males.

[@theblackdog2399]

Why? She is an extremely creative and very talented songwriter.

Hence, it's all her fault. And it's a pity cause I hate to see her throw her career away like that.

[@jet8499]

I agree. She sings a lot of songs that don't really do much for her vpice. She need that one song that can propel her career.

[@theblackdog2399]

Listen to the song (Link Below) called "Don't Know How to Love You" off her latest album, "Lo-Fi Soul", which is outstanding. By the way, the entire album is really very good. As she has a ton of songs on that album that could easily become big hits. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIW9iX6sebCYiLc Nonetheless, writing excellent songs isn't Haley's problem. As she is a fantastic singer/songwriter. Her problem is she won't sign a record deal with a big major record label although all the big major record labels have been trying to sign her up for years. Hence, because she stubbornly won't sign a record deal with a big major record label, she remains criminally underexposed. In any event, she could quickly become a mega star cause of her amazing versatility and her ability to sing anything and everything. As she could appear on every kind of music special there is. However, it will never happen unless she compromises and signs with one of the big record labels. A lot of people erroneously believe she is like most former American Idol contestants that can't get a record deal, but she is not. As record labels have been trying to sign Haley up for years.

[@gailremp3628]

I think Haley kind of understands where she wants to go with her life. I don't think she's throwing away her career. She's writing some of her own music. And not everyone takes the road that leaves them to the gold Cadillac. Some like to drive a silver Prius if you get my point. So please calm down and let her live her life as she so chooses. Wow. You guys are brutal. Since when is doing what you want to do in your life not good enough. How does the answer never sound? (Her parents are professional musicians. I think they're doing OK. They don't look like they're starving. And they look relatively happy.)

[@theblackdog2399]

Uhm...don't tell me to calm down just because you want Haley to remain as poor as a church mouse, as opposed to building financial security for herself and her family. Unlike you, I'm not an incredibly dumb major ignoramus. Give me a damn break! Indeed, I feel very sorry for everyone I see that throws their lives and careers away the way Haley is sadly doing today. Meanwhile, if you don't like it, sue me. As she could almost instantly become a mega star and earn millions of dollars while fulfilling all of her dreams at the same time. However, because some dumb low-information ignoramus just like you has filled her head full of garbage, she is unfortunately screwing herself and her family over, as opposed to building financial security for herself and her family while fulfilling all of her dreams at the same time. By the way, her parents are very low middle class people. As they both have to work when they should already both be retired and enjoying life instead. They have very obviously struggled all of their lives to make ends meet. Meanwhile, if Haley signed a record deal with a big major record label, she could almost instantly make their lives so much better and pay them back at the same time for everything they unselfishly taught her and sacrificed for her. Thus, just because you are a dumb low-information idiot on steroids, doesn't automatically mean that everyone else should also be as dumb and stupid as you are. Go jump in a lake, you dumb idiot!

Omg the range on this woman, Alicia Keys, Whitney Houston, Alannis Morrissette, Elton John, simply amazing. She's got the pipes of Christina Aguilera and the jazzy style of the late great Amy Winehouse. I love it!

I first/only really saw her on PostModern Jukebox and, wow, her voice is more versatile in style than I originally knew. She's very talented.

[@theblackdog2399]

She is extremely talented and extremely versatile. As she can sing the phone book. However, she won't sign a record deal although all the big major record labels have been trying to sign her up for years. Hence, there will be no big leagues for Haley cause she refuses to sign a record deal.

[@gynack]

​@@marapayne6207 Aubrey Logan is is sizzling form on that. However, It's difficult to compare them. Scott Bradley has worked his magic in the arrangement and the vocalist he chose. Haley's is a Rock version that sticks fairly closely to Elton John's original, but better in that Haley's voice is a lot better than Elton John's. Dammit, actually it would be great hearing Haley have a go at this song with Scott's arrangement. it would almost certainly be quite a lot different. Haley has her own Jazz vibes and her own highly distinctive voice.

Attention is fixing to come her way. Her "Something Strange" tune is currently number 24 on the worldwide Dance chart, and her new tune, "Don't Know How to Love You'", is soon to be released to radio and that song, along with her new album, "Lo-Fi Soul", should take her to the top and the promised land.

No doubt that she is good, but a bit too “piano bar” for my taste

[@d2pez1]

I just love how Haley slaps Jlo in every performance with her voice, talent and natural sex appeal. 😏

[@gynack]

d2pez1 Not in the same league for voice and talent. JLo knew how good Haley was and praised her until late in the series when Haley was performing so brilliantly. I don't think it was jealousy. She was just doing her job following instructions. The producers were worried about Haley derailing their pre-selected winners, and they needed to dampen the support for her. Let's face it; even Steven Tyler's praise of her was generally pretty low key compared to how he praised others, and Lauren in particular. However, it was good to see him having had enough of it and coming out so strongly for her after Earth Song, a brilliant performance completely rubbished by Randy, and negatively critiqued by JLo as well.

[@sineglaski]

Besides having a stunning voice and an incredible rasp and a killer voice break, she’s an incredibly intelligent performer! And, it all comes from within, so natural, even with some growling.

When Haley was on American Idol back in 2011, her net worth was listed on those same sites, as $2 million dollars and even though she had never held a full time job in her life. Over the years, those sites dropped it down to $1.5 million dollars. The truth is none of those sites have the first freaking clue what Haley is worth. Nonetheless, I can tell you that Haley isn't close to having a net worth of $1.5 million dollars. She wishes. However, because you read it on the Internet, then sure, it must to be true. LOL! SMH!

She was my choice for the winner of Idol.... She had more versatility and her personality was amazing... not to mention her amazing talent. An original. No one else like her.

[@jsrj98]

Wow! Long time since I watched Haley's journey on Idol. Brings back a lot of memories. As one of her original 'Haliens', I'm so happy with where she is now as an artist, and that she is in control of her musical destiny! It was obvious at the time that she was a supremely talented vocalist-- and as a long-time watcher of the show, it's easy to say that she's in the top handful of the most talented singers to ever appear on the show. At the time I wanted for her to become a 'star', whatever that means, because she was so talented. While it would be fun to see her reach stardom, in the normal sense-- and, hey, that still may happen-- I have had the opportunity to see her in concert, listened to her songs on the radio, purchased her CDs in the record store, watched her rack up hundreds of millions of KZbin views, and listened to her voice countless times on TV ads. I'm happy that those of you who found Haley thru a different channel, can now see what brought her to fame. What you can't see thru this quick montage of her performances, is the real 'journey' she took. For instance, for many weeks in the beginning she was always close to getting voted off. Once she started gaining momentum, the judges (at least some of the judges) started to unfairly criticize her-- when it was obvious to everyone (including the other contestants-- some who publicly mentioned) that she was the most talented contestant. Even now it's hard to watch her best performances (some of which are recognized as among the best in the history of the show), knowing what the judges said, and the drama that unfolded on stage. Yikes. What you can't see are the incredible compliments the celebrity mentors-- Beyonce, Lady GaGa, Sheryl Crow among them, said about her. In later interviews, the vocal coaches and musical staff gushed about her-- how they were in awe of her vocal skills. Much of the public and the media were on her side, but she didn't win, and that's fine, really. But you can read the comments in here about how some are still mad that she finished 3rd, and the injustice-- I guess we carry a grudge more than Haley does herself! Of course, the voting strategy was different than in later years. Was she the most popular-- definitely?. We know that because at the time her KZbin videos were getting millions of views (they have since been taken down by Idol), many, many more than the other contestants. Lady GaGa let her sing an unreleased song, that later became a huge hit. Rolling in the Deep had started to dip in popularity until Haley sang it in front of tens of millions of viewers (at the time Idol was by far the most watched show on TV), and then magically it rose to #1 for a long time. Led Zepplin offered to let her sing one of their songs (with her dad playing guitar). At one point toward the end, she had FIVE performances (they released studio versions of them) simultaneously in the top 50 on the iTunes pop charts. Crazy! Haley could never then, and still now, be placed 'into a box' per se. Idol didn't know what to do with her at the time-- which is why the show didn't want her to win. Is she a rocker? Does she sing Jazz? Can she be a pop diva? All of those are true, as we now know. But Haley has now made enough money, and had enough success, to control her career. And that is definitely a good thing for her fans!

[@RandoTark]

Great synopsis and spot on =) ... rewatched S10 recently and yeah ... I forgot how early on she was so close to being voted off, it was like a freaking cliff hanger performance after performance there for a while. In the really really early parts of the season they didnt really go into audition or story much even. And yeah judges were always picking on her. Although she did get the most standing o's =) ... she was simply the best really.. and still is. For me, during my years of watching idol Reinhart and Lambert are 2 of my favs. As far as her not winning I aint bitter in the least. I heard somewhere its better for their career if they dont win, in that idol doesnt "own" you.

[@theblackdog2399]

@John Theios, "I'm so happy with where she is now as an artist, and that she is in control of her musical destiny!" I'm not happy at all with the way Haley's career has turned out. As her music career, post American Idol, has turned out to be incredibly mediocre and it's all of her own damn fault. As Haley's career could easily be as big as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. However, because she won't sign a record deal with a big major record label, the vast overwhelming majority of the public have never heard of Haley Reinhart, let alone ever listened to her music. As her music today isn't played on the radio and Haley never gets to appear on network TV shows or on music award TV shows. As it is only signed music artists whose music can be played on the radio or who can appear on countless network TV shows. Unsigned independent music artists like Haley, can't even get their music played on the radio, much less ever appear on network TV. Thus, as a consequence of her own stubbornness, Haley today remains a very obscure music artist hardly anyone has ever heard of. When it comes to talent level, Haley oozes talent galore. However, when it comes to business, Haley is a complete and utter basket case cause she hates it, and people who hate business aren't any good at it. Haley needs someone like Scooter Braun to run and manage her career for her. Where she can just dedicate her life to making music, being creative, and doing the things she loves to do.

[@RandoTark]

@@theblackdog2399im perfectly fine with her popularity... because the smaller she is means more intimate settings for her concerts where i can stand ten feet from her beautiful voice :-) if she were a mega popular artist that would be nearly impossible. i love smaller venues :-) and maybe she doesnt wanna sign because she wants to make art/music her way and not some mega record company making her do crap she doesnt like. in other words i think shes willing to forego the popularity if it means more freedom of what she can do w/ her talents.

[@theblackdog2399]

In other words, Jason M, since you are incredibly greedy and want her all to yourself, you're perfectly content seeing her not build any financial security for herself and her family if that is what it takes for you to be able to see her in cheap dives and for relatively cheap prices. Okay, I got it, you're kind of a lowlife and cheap kind of guy. Not to mention, Haley writes her own music and the music labels cannot make Haley write music she doesn't want to write. It doesn't work that way. As a record deal has to be a win/win situation for both parties involved, the singer and the record label, for the agreement to work. In any event, in life we must all make compromises and sacrifices to get in life what we need out of life. Just cause a person is mega talented and a beautiful individual, it doesn't mean they are immune from making the compromises in life everyone of us must also make as well. Of course, Haley can forgo the necessary exposure required to make it big in the music business but not without incurring a very steep price. Which is financial security for herself and her family for generations to come. Which if you ask me is a very steep price for her to pay, but if that is what she willing to sacrifice, then more power to her. However, I promise you that when she loses her looks, which is inevitable in the not too distant future, and finds it far harder for her to make a decent living, some of those extremely dumb decisions she made when she was younger and dumber will come back to haunt her in a very hideous way she will wish she had thought about far more closely at the time.
