That picture just about sums it all up for me. Sorry, I just did not like this girl because of her entitled, self-centered, attitude. She was not that good, in the end was a sore loser and couldn’t be the least bit congratulatory to Lauren.
She pranced around like a wannabe Miley Cyrus without the talent. Her final song and comments about not seeing the last of her just made it all the more special that she was given the boot. Completely ungracious. Buh-bye Haley.
Yes, Haley finishing her song with that bravado, and telling sea crest she rocked AI rather than showing gratitude, really stood out compared to all others going home. This attitude may have played a part in Haley not growing from the AI / music industry mentoring she received. She may feel she is perfect already.
Contrast her getting negative comments from the judges, with Everyone Else receiving neg comments. All the others nod, listen, and take it in. She and few exceptions had a darkly angry face and did not modestly accept the notes. Only a few talked back, including Haley when she would insist to Randy that she didn’t want to only sing one kind of music. Yes, her voice was versatile, but just singing a zillion different covers doesn’t help the public know and like you.
