Idk how many years it’s been since she was robbed blind in front of the entire world but I’m still salty about it. She absolutely SLAYED every performance.
She was robbed, but so was James Durbin, heck, they even chose Caleb over Jena Irene, I waited about 9 years to see Haley live, April 4th, 2000 I got tickets to see her at Boston Winery... canceled April 1st due to covid. 😭
@@timothybuckles6331 Had American Idol only permitted "one vote per individual voting", as opposed to "almost unlimited power voting", Haley would have won American Idol in a major landslide. In other words, she was ripped off.
you know something, I think she did win in a way because she is relevant. Just like Jax from last year who also came in number 3. It seems who ever wins has a big 7 yrs contract with American Idol. Who would want that instead of a record company
+Steve Dwyer Actually, all the American Idol winners signed to UMG Interscope, which took over the American Idol contract in 2011, the same year that Haley was on Idol, got scammed by UMG Interscope. As all the American Idols they signed through the years were either cut before they ever got to release an album or otherwise cut soon after their debut albums were released with absolutely no artist development, support, or promotion whatsoever, and at the same time they screwed them over and destroyed their dreams. Haley was one of their unwitting victims. Nonetheless, the first song released last October off of Haley's new album went gold organically with no big major record label support or promotion, which is virtually unheard of today, and, of course, all the big major record labels started immediately courting her and trying to sign her to their record labels. Meanwhile, Haley deliberately extended the process to ensure that she would get the best deal possible. In any event, she has been signed and is currently in the studios writing and recording a new album to be released sometime late Spring or early Summer by her new major record label.
3482648265978390 3482648265978390 yes why do you think I made that comment, she's not very nice in person I've met many famous people, I work as a resident manager in New York City Near 42nd St. I have met The guy that plays karate kid Jennifer Lopez Five different members of The Walking Dead Three different members from sons of anarchy (Bryan hurts Who plays Opie in sons of anarchy is one of the greatest people you could ever meet Like I said I've met many famous people she by far was one of the worst
Producer manipulation. They chose Lauren and Scotty as their faves day 1, and they weren't going to let anyone break that. Haley fought very hard though, and I'm proud she came 3rd.
I never cared for Benny and the Jetts and suddenly Haley comes along and made me fall in love with her voice and the song!!!! Ten years later and here I am reminiscing again!!!
I remember watching this almost 12 years ago and since she was a SUPERSTAR still shocked to this day she didn’t win she was so ahead of her time. This was a Masterpiece ♥️🥹⚡️

Yeah, she is. No doubt. if the music industry was actually paying attention to today's musicians with TALENT, she easily shouldhave a Grammy or 2 with at least a couple covers on Rolling Stone as well. She really is amazing.
WOW! I have been hearing Haley on my RU-vid channel. Thought I would bounce over here to have a look. BLOWN AWAY!!! I know, I'm a little slow but, dang, I'm here now!!!
I only ever watched ONE American idol season my entire life and I’m so thankful it happened to be the season that this gem of a woman was on. Years later I got to see her live!!
This shows that even before teaming up with PMJ, she was already more than merely a singer; she's a performer. That is very necessary to success in the music industry.
Mmmmmmkay America you skewed this one up... I was only 12 during this season but I knew she was the most talented... It should have been her and Scottie in the final! Where the heck is that Lauren chick these days?
Casey was good when he did those two duets with Haley, but other than that, those stupid grunts he did ad nauseam totally turned me off. Once he started grunting, I had to turn the volume down.
12 years later and i still find myself coming back to this video frequently. My favorite American Idol contestant ever and this one’s my favorite american idol performance ever made. hands down.
Proud to say I'm still a Halien 3 years later! I go to see her live shows, & her rendition of this song always gives me chills & brings me back to this performance when I first fell in love with her. She's such a sweetheart & is gorgeous all around. Haley totally deserved that AI spot that season, along with Casey. The show's so damn rigged & I stopped watching since!
This will always be the best live performance ever recorded in human history. Haley Reinhart and Mariah Carey are the only two people i know who can sing perfectly. Theres no way they could not touch your soul if you're a real music lover.
mariah carey has reached the point of her life wherein she doesnt need to prove how impeccable her voice is. if she really did lip syncing, it is because people age and the body changes. it doesnt make her less talented. not a bit.
There are only a select few contestants that I think really held their own. Kelly, Carrie (hello - one name says it all), LaToya London, Adam Lambert and THIS LEGEND.
Anyone else see Haley on this week's AI episode (March 2022) and immediately want to re-live her most memorable moment on the show? Loved it then and love it now!
This season was probably the most talent filled season. Her, Jacob Luke, Casey Abrams, the winner, there’s so many songs I downloaded to my first iPod and still listen to. I was a senior in high school. This was all we would talk about on the bus. Good memories ❤
Just watched Ben perform this on tonight's Idol, the best part was when it reminded me of how much better Haley Reinhart nailed this song. Her version will go down in Idol history.
@@MattWilliams-yc6jt Country singers have gotten by on the strength of their fanbases rather than vocal prowess during recent seasons of American Idol. However, Lauren Alaina is better than Scotty McCreery. Jacob Lusk is part of a band called the Gabriels.
@@davidhill8565 the great thing about season 10 is they've all had some great success. Obviously Lauren, Scotty, and Haley have had the most success. But even Jacob, Casey, thia, pia, Karen, and more have found some moderate success
The way she sings "so stick around" at the beginning gives me chills The fact she didn't win makes me mad on a daily basis. She slayed every single performance
Better than the original for me, not only because I love her voice and energy but because I understand what she's singing about - I've listened to the Elton John version (live and studio) too many times to count but it's only this version where I actually took notice of the lyrics, without even trying to!! Anyone who has the ability to make you do that and at the same time pulls off a stunning rendition has something very special.
The way she sings "so stick around" at the beginning gives me chills I'd pay so much money to have her voice Definitely one of the best performances on idol period.
I loved her back in 2010 and bought her CD then. Now she does the sultry jazzy music to absolutely die for. Love, love ya Haley. I wish you would come to New Orleans and do some of the Jazzy great sound for us. :)
I've watched this sooooo many times. I wish I could put it on repeat on my iPod. I've been a fan since I seen her try out, she's my fav girl, Scotty is my fav guy. I fell even deeper in love with Haley after this performance, I absolutely love her hair! Best performance of the night?? What!!!?? Yes I believe so lol I feel like I'm talking to myself haha idc tho. Haley all the way.. Definitely!!!
wow she was my favorite from this season/ when i still watched american idol! i had such a girl crush on her... and i still do. she's so beautiful and unf her voice is amazing
I really don't understand how she's not more famous. I mean despite not being able to play so much as a guitar chord, I'm a music junkie so I'm well aware of her. But man what a great voice and what a good looking girl. Beats me.
She was cut by Interscope shortly after her debut album was released, not because her music was no good, but because Interscope had to cut 65 artists from their record label to avoid bankruptcy. Subsequently, she remained unsigned until late 2016. She released one Album during that time, but it was an independent release and wasn't promoted. Nonetheless, it was a very good album. Then after Interscope, because she was still stuck with 19 management, she deliberately didn't do many gigs and instead audition for TV and movie roles until her contract with 19 finally ran out in the middle of 2014. Which is how she got her current voice acting gig with F is For Family, the Netflix hit show. Then she began managing her own career and finally started doing a lot of gigs again and also hooked up with PMJ. With PMJ, she recorded 8 songs and most of them went to number one on the jazz charts and the videos on PMJ's RU-vid also went viral. She also toured America, Europe, and Australia and New Zealand with PMJ several times. In late 2015 she recorded "Can't Help Falling in Love" for an Extra Gum commercial and then unbeknownst to her, that song organically became the number one song on the Spotify world hit viral chart and then charted from November of 2015 to the middle of July 2016 on both the HAC and AC charts. It subsequently became her first gold record and is now on the verge of becoming her first platinum hit record. Also, for months in 2016 all the big major record labels also tried to sign her, but disappointingly she dished them all and signed with Concord Records instead, which to me is a disappointment. I think it is because they allow her the freedom to do anything she wants to do. Anyway, if she has a one or two more big major hits, she'll hit the big time. She's right on the verge right now.
