About Hayley’s singing…
So I started binging One Tree Hill since it ended up on my Netflix homepage a couple of weeks ago.
I never expected to get hooked, especially since the plot summary didn’t seem that interesting but here I am, 7 episodes into season 2. The characters are interesting and the pacing of the plot is pretty good.
And I just want to know how everyone feels about Hayley/Bethany Lenz’s singing ?
The show narrative is running with her being this diamond in the rough with incredible talent that should be shown to the world but I find she’s not only average sounding but that the songs she sings are straight up bad, to the point where suspension of disbelief as someone watching the show is getting increasingly hard.
I know 2000s shows loved to do that thing where any cast member who said they sung could get a special episode sequence where they perform a song, but this is actually wild seeing as Nathan is presumably putting his basketball career on the sidelines so Hayley can dive into hers as a musician.
She’s at a CLUB singing a monotone ballad and everyone is impressed? Does her character trajectory eventually evolve beyond the singing stuff?
