It really sucks at how Haley was edited on the show. I love that Slezak compared J.Lo to Maleficent. So fitting!
I didnt watch much of idol this year, (but based off of the itunes clips Haley definitely seemed like my favorite) and I was wondering how was she edited or portrayed?
they just made her seem like a ***** who didnt care about the show. when in fact shes a really simple/chill girl who loves music and doesnt take herself seriously at all. shes awesome haha

Haley is a cool girl. i wanna be best friends with her haha. its really unfortunate how weird the show made her come off at first. thankfully, she performed her ass off so we could all really fall in love with her.

It really is unfortunate... she's got such a cool laid back personality.
Slezak is awesome. He's such a Haley fanboy it cracks me up. He did idoloonies (pretty much comments on the show and stuff) for each week of the season. You should watch some if you haven't already. They're pretty good.
ugh I don't even know where to begin. They pretty much gave her no back story at all, except that she comes from a musical family. And they really didn't show to much of her during Hollywood week. I honestly didn't remember who she was when they put her through to top 24. Once they got to the live shows, they started trying to portray her as having a bad attitude. They questioned her work ethic, her personality, her song choice, who she is as an artist. She would go out there and kill it almost every week and most of the time would get a fairly mild critic. I mean, yes, she got many standing ovations, but there were a few too many times (say Earth Song and You and I) when they critic she would get was just kinda ridiculous and not really even about her actual vocal. There were a few times when they would say things to her that really just seemed mean-spirited and completely unnecessary (particularly Randy's comments after round one of top 4 week). Needless to say she's got some tough skin on her. And the sad part is that a lot of people really bought into it. Almost no one I know really liked her very much. She was pretty portrayed as a *****.... That was a bit of a ramble haha :laugh: Anyways, I could go on forever about how wrongly portrayed she was lol. It was pretty much just a bad edit. She really is just a cool, laid-back girl who loves music and is incredibly passionate about it.
Yup, this is pretty much what I was trying to say in a lot less words haha

I watched the Slezak interviews and he really summed up Idols attitude about her - they really wanted her gone so they could have the country final - Thank goodness Steven put his two cents in to at least comment on the fact Haley has incredible vocals and this is a singing competition afterall - if Haley had been in Season 5 or 6 she may have won Idol - I think she has a great personality for performing-I think Idol decided at the outset they would crown performers in specific genres like Lauren and Scotty in country
^^I love Haley's explanation how "Moanin'" came about. That was a standout performance in the competition. LOVED that performance with Haley and Casey, actually. Haley had so many stellar performances. I actually loved her "Earth Song" performance, which she got hammered on. And for Haley having performed with Tony Bennett must have been so sureal to her. Simply amazing.
Haley seems to have a good head on her shoulders and knows what is best for her voice and personality. She seems to have great instincts and look forward to what's next for this young artist.
