Hayley Williams
Hayley Nichole Williams (born December 27, 1988) is an American singer, songwriter and musician who is best known as the lead vocalist, occasional keyboardist and primary songwriter of the American rock band ..
Paramore
It has come to be more than 8 years as a fan of Paramore, and ultimately, Hayley Williams.
When Misery Business first came to my ears from a random flip through Myspace on a friend of mine Tammy Lee's MySpace (Yes, Tammy Lee the korean) the song was playing and I couldn't identify who the band was! The playbox had no title and artist on it.. As I drooled mentally and went all over to look them up..
Looking by lyrics worked. Luckily I had an idea to work a Shazam when it didn't exist.
Oh God, that feeling, this scene on my laptop screen. Inexplicable admiration, inspiration that formed a lasting impression.
That authentic angsty I-don't-give-a-flying-damn energy I have never seen a female singer have ever before
I have fallen in love.
At first with Hayley's spunky attitude

and then of course her hair
What else..
She is Christian and frequently discuss her faith publicly in relation to her music.
The criticism and words she has received from some of the judgmental Christian community didn't stop her from putting a stake in the public for her taste in clothing and making punk music.
Williams is a devout Christian and rocks a large cross tattoo on her thigh as to much acclaimed critics, she still says
"Got a black cross on my leg. My faith is the only thing that never fails me."
"You grew up in a religious family. What kind of music did your parents listen to?A lot of Boston. And my mom was a huge Adam and the Ants fan. My granddad listened to a lot of Motown and Elvis and Johnny Cash. So I was kind of well-rounded."
I believe that rebellious part of her stuck with me very much as I was growing up too. There were times I found it inexplicably hard to drag myself to church too because of the way some people speak. But Hayley displays eventually, it is the love for God that matters more and I have always been inspired by that, Especially when I start to feel uncomfortable. I really am no different to them if I behave any same of less.
Using her angsty energy for songwriting, even flipping at her own bandmates in words,
Playing God in their album Brand New Eyes
"The song, at its core, is very angry. I'm ripping at self-righteous people, ripping at my own bandmates and anyone who ever made me feel not good enough. But the overall tone of the song is completely different. It's laid back and really fun. By the time we'd gotten to the studio, the song still needed a bridge. So I sat down at a piano and wrote the parts. It's one of my favorite bridges on the record--I love the call and response vocal that Josh and I did. I feel like this song is one of those that we've been waiting to write for a long time."
"Next time you point a finger
Or break it, break it off"
The song was well received by music critics and did well on the music charts during the time of the song's release.
Who can deny Hayley, really? Even with a song fuming anger at them, her bandmates took it and made it happen a song, creation from the essence of pure talent and realness.
Using what she naturally already has, through freedom in expression.
