Nigel Lythgoe tweets...  ...so I'm assuming this means Haley has signed/will be signing a deal with Interscope Records.  For those that don't watch Idol, Haley finished third last night after four (!!!) standing ovations, gathering a huge online following, and overcoming harsh (and at times unfair) criticism from the judges. Here's a few of her standout moments on the show. |

Yes. Haley >>> anyone else on Idol this season.
I wonder what direction she will go.

I am stanning on her so hard lately. I am mostly sad because Scotty/Lauren will have a single out in the next week, and I have to wait longer for Haley most likely.
I'm excited for a press release announcing a record deal (it's inevitable), and hopefully an album by the holiday season! I think she has acquired a rapidly growing fanbase and if they capitalize with a solid album, she could do really well.

I'm so glad that Haley and Pia were signed. They were the true standouts this season! I also loved Paul and Naima.
This is the weakest top 2 yet.

Glad she's getting a record deal, she is clearly better than the top 2. I think she needs a blues/rock CD geared towards HAC.
She always got the best response from those type of songs and it fits her like a glove. Interscope would be stupid to try an overtly pop direction.

i want an Adele type of album Same. Haley screams out artist where most people on idol scream out only singer or performer. Very interested in seeing what she does and I'll be sure to support her if her material matches her talent. |

I expect something along the lines of a Nikka Costa album. I would be interested if she went in a more pop/rhythmic direction, though. I think she could do the electro-dance thing pretty well.

Also, I'm excited to see her perform again on the finale results show. Doesn't the person who finishes third usually perform on their own or with a famous musician?
I would love "Rolling in the Deep" with Adele!

She she's definitely going to have a solo song AGAIN. So at least I'll have THAT to look forward to next week. |

He has been working on his album for a year now, he toured with Sugarland, he played at some festivals and things like that but no sign of a single yet... |

I feel like the Idol team this year will want to capitalize on the hype sooner rather than later, but maybe I'm wrong. Hopefully we don't have a long wait for Haley's single. |

Jimmy signed the right two to his label. Haley and Pia will both rake it in. SO HAPPY for Haley right now! B4L, she can still join the trifecta w/o a win. |

I hope her album and singles are good. She's got so much talent, it'd be a shame to waste it on sub-par or boring material.

Putting the videos of her performances in the original post was a great idea B4L. Her versions of 'Rolling in the Deep' and 'House of the Rising Sun' will go down as the best performances on American Idol this year for me. I can just not get enough of watching them.

SO happy that Haley got signed. Pia and Haley were my two favorites this season and I can't wait to hear their original music. And those Haley performances in the first post were amazing. HOTRS, BATJ, RITD and IWHN were all my favorite performances of the season. This girl is mega talented.

LOVE her. My favourite of the season and so sad she didn't win. But, I'm not too bothered as she will have a good career if handled property. I'll also be buying her album when it comes out. I hope she releases in the UK though....

She's performing an original song (likely her first single) on the Idol finale Wednesday according to her mom and dad. That was fast, but good for her! |

I am definitely a Haley fan, and I just discovered this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_fNZiAt7RkI wish they had aired that one on the show! At first I wondered how she made the top 24, but now I see. She started out weak for me, but she won me over with "Bennie..." and her subsequent performances. I am definitely interested to see what direction her solo material will follow. I can see the Adele thing in terms of mixing soul and a rock-ish vibe. |

She definitely deserved a spot in the finale over Lauren IMO, but whatever. I think she has a much better shot in making it in the long run than Lauren.
With that said, I look forward to hearing new music from her!
