No other contestant that season could come close to matching Haley in vocal control and not to mention as well that Haley has one of the most instantly lovable voices I have ever heard.
This is the performance that Haley roped me in. Been a huge fan ever since. For some reason I could never warm up to her before this performance (I missed her singing Blue the week or two before).
Yeah!!! You got it! But I'm still thinking if she got me here coz she went to straight up her hair that made her look like a hot secretary in an office.
Haley was robbed. She is one of the top 3 singers to ever come on any talent show. She will go to the top. She smoked Smokey Robinsons song like it was her own.
+seldenkid48 A lot of people have sang this song well, but no one has ever killed it like Haley did that night live. Look at the crowd giving her a standing ovation. She literally tore the house down.
+Happy “Sunny” Joy At first one of the judges was sabotaging her. Then when it got to the top 5, all of a sudden it became two of the judges that were sabotaging her. In other words, she was robbed. American Idol, at least that year, is not a fair and honest singing competition.
I just want her to sign a million contracts whichever ones would be in her best interests. I am not educated in music but even an idiot can understand that this woman's talents are out of this galaxy. Give her to Idol end of story..
Completely agree. Most of these contestants on these shows are boring but she has the most brilliant voice and performance skills - she is obviously a cut above the rest.
This performance really made me appreciate her as vocalist.....this and Benny & the Jets. Obviously she could always sing but now she's picking songs that prove it!!! So glad she's still hangin' on!!!
she's a virgo and of course ppl would hate on her cuz she's got mad presence and an attractive and irresistable spirit. she be rippin' that stage. every single time!! work mama!
Thanks for voting for Haley at faxo....wall vote. Haley should go over the 5000 mark today with your help. Thanks and keep voting for Haley at faxo wall vote. She needs all the votes she can get. NON US Haley fans....Finally here is your chance to vote for our girl.
The Idols are here in Manila! Finally saw Haley at a mall tour; wow she is really beautiful!! Can't wait to watch their concert on tuesday! Haley Reinhart said she was excited to see how different the country really is. "It's so beautiful and all of you guys are so beautiful inside and out...your manners, and everything it's a really different place," she said.
BEST SEASON OF IDOL SINCE FANTASIA!!! EVERYONE IS SO DIFF I LOVE IT AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THEM... IT KILLS ME EVERY WEEK WHEN ONE GETS VOTED OFF!!!!
Dear Haley, I just want to dedicate this song to you. My fav perfomance of her on Idol. This. Is. Something. Else. Haley, you've really got a hold on me.
This video was the turning point for Haley... she stayed out of the bottom 3 and the next week she closed the show with a stunning Bennie & The Jets! I became a fan after this performance, then voted for her the rest of the way! Haley is really special and I expect great things from her. If her single coming out MARCH 1 is anything like this it's gonna be awesome
NGXtina said: " If you hate other's opinions then I'll repeat Whitney's words: 'Christina is the one that I truly enjoy in today's music'. Being praised by such people and being underrated by people like you, doesn't matter neither to Christina nor to her fans." Haley inspires Christina... A contestant on The Voice: "I wanted to do 'Dirty Diana' that week. Christina was like, 'No. You need a vulnerable moment.' Then she showed me Haley Reinhart’s version of Radiohead’s 'Creep.'"
HALEY FANS VOTE VOTE VOTE FOR HALEY THIS WEEK!! she deserves to win this season and she can but she need ALL of our votes because of the other contestants gift fan base and laurens fans are gonna be voting like crazy because she was in the bottom 2 last time! Cmon we need to BIT FOR HALEY!! HALEYIANS NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND VOTE TILL YOUR FINGERS BLEED! And... pray for Haley's success!!
Haley is not only one of the three best American Idol vocalist of all time, she is also the most sexy American Idol contestant of all time on top of it.
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.
There is a possibility that Haley CAN win!! It's going to be difficult but we can do it!! If we all work together it will be easier! Everyone just has to VOTE!!!!
The ONLY reason I watched IDOL for the first time........she has been signed to a record label and an album should be out next year.........rock on Haley
1:42 - 1:48 >> EARGASMIC!!!!! how can possibly a human being do that crazy thing.... u just simply awesome Haley.. n Y U HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LEG???!!!!
@ Isaac Hunt, by definition: "The typical Motown song was a bright, uptempo number done as a 2/4 shuffle or a hard 4/4 beat. Lyrically it dealt almost exclusively with romance, with love won and lost". In what way was Miss Murphy's rendition of this song bright, uptempo?? She was sombre, slow, dull and lackluster. Haley's performance is spot-on bright, uptempo, cheerful, playful, sassy and jazzy - in no way was her interpretation rock. You are understandably proud of Miss Murphy from Down Under; unfortunately, she really pales when pitted against Miss Haley Elizabeth Reinhart.
She just flat out killed it. As this performance is very underrated, but nonetheless, it demonstrates very well that Haley was a cut above all of the other contestants cause none of them could have come close to giving a remarkable performance like Haley did to this particular song. As her vocals are not only off the charts but her movements and gesturing were also all off the charts. Everything she did in this performance is not only incredibly sexy but also very world class at the same time.
Haley REALLY needs to bring her head voice out!! It sounds amazing in here @ 1:22 and sounds even better during her Moanin performance. Come on Haley! I think you're hiding a whistle register there !!
@beast Good to see you on here. Have you noticed the video counts are moving up rapidly? Isn't it wonderful! New people on here everyday, I am loving it. Our Haley(as sfaster would say) deserves this and more. I have been looking at her videos before AI and the more I watch, the more I think she belongs among the greatest singers ever. So many Genres. Love her.
I've never had an interest in buying any music from any contestant on any singing show, except for Haley. In fact, she is the only contestant whose name I remember, lol. But to be fair, the only reason I remember her name is because she is the best singer on any of these shows, ever. Period.
One of the most underrated performances in AI history. I've never continued an obsession with one of the contestants like I have Haley. Anxiously awaiting some new music from this girl -3
I love Haley. She is the best woman singer out there in my opinion. She is more versital than anybody. She looks,sings,and dances sexy. she sings from her heart. what's not to love?
@TheSpringishere You can hear The Miracles original version right here on CZcams. The Miracles were first to record the song in 1962, and Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson wrote it. It was a Billboard Top 10 hit for them,reaching #8 on the Pop Chart, and a # 1 smash on it's R&B Chart .It was also The Miracles' second million-selling record ("Shop Around" was the first) . The song was inducted into The Grammy Hall Of Fame in 1998, and has been covered by The Beatles, Mickey Gilley, & others
OH GOD - another vid of Haleys that hasnt got the views it deserves - WOW?!?! "2 DAYS' ago was the last comment - I'm guilty as well 4 not comin here BUT we CANT abandon Haley on her vid views!!!
*sighs* i still loving coming back to this video. for me, this was the moment when i became a major supporter of haley. prior to this performance, for some reason i just didn't quite get while everyone loved her besides her being incredibly gorgeous (i'm not blind lol). this was the game changer for me and i'm so glad i realized the error of my ways. she was robbed. yet another idol contestant for me to add to my list of being robbed :/
Let's HELP HALEY!!!, Her EP is only No. 37 at Billboard's Top 200 on its 2nd week while Lauren went down from 24 to No. 35. James Durbin is No. 38 with almost the same sales as Haley (24,000) while Durbin has 25,000. If we love Haley, we must raise her up the Billboard charts!!!
The amount of control is insane. Every note was pitch perfect.
No other contestant that season could come close to matching Haley in vocal control and not to mention as well that Haley has one of the most instantly lovable voices I have ever heard.
She seriously is one of the best american idols EVER
This is the performance that Haley roped me in. Been a huge fan ever since. For some reason I could never warm up to her before this performance (I missed her singing Blue the week or two before).
Discovered only this year and I'm obsessed. This girl is something very, very far beyond!
+Evy de Lilás Now Evy go look at her work with Postmodern Jukebox
Noodle Swage yes, it's awesome as well
It really is fucked up that she didn't win this season.
This is the moment I got hooked to her. Still watching this video in 2014.
Yeah!!! You got it! But I'm still thinking if she got me here coz she went to straight up her hair that made her look like a hot secretary in an office.
I'm watching it in 2015 lol!!
2017
Lol 2017 here. She was sooo good, Killed it with this song. Loved It....Better than the original
2018
Haley was robbed. She is one of the top 3 singers to ever come on any talent show. She will go to the top. She smoked Smokey Robinsons song like it was her own.
+seldenkid48 A lot of people have sang this song well, but no one has ever killed it like Haley did that night live. Look at the crowd giving her a standing ovation. She literally tore the house down.
Could i gave her a title "best female singer American Idol ever had" yet?
+Bambang Adhijatmiko She will be the ebst femaile singer american idol ever had.. Since AI will be at its end and no one is still as good as Haley..
2015 and i am here... again!
**texts VOTE 5 years late**
You mean this girl didn't win??? How'd that happen?? She is a powerhouse, soul, blues, rock - unique talented girl. Wo, she is great.
She is not your typical singer/performer. It's a shame people don't appreciate that.
A cowboy won that year :v
giank0666 a cowboy who mimics the sounds of fart and burp combined... i hated naughty american teens since then..
lol
+Happy “Sunny” Joy At first one of the judges was sabotaging her. Then when it got to the top 5, all of a sudden it became two of the judges that were sabotaging her. In other words, she was robbed.
American Idol, at least that year, is not a fair and honest singing competition.
I think this is one of Haley's most underrated performances of the season... she is SO good in this! Her itunes recording is awesome as well
I just want her to sign a million contracts whichever ones would be in her best interests. I am not educated in music but even an idiot can understand that this woman's talents are out of this galaxy. Give her to Idol end of story..
Completely agree. Most of these contestants on these shows are boring but she has the most brilliant voice and performance skills - she is obviously a cut above the rest.
That girl has a set of pipes! Win or lose you will be hearing from Miss Haley.
Haley is like a package of fire works. She keeps exploding with talent and beauty. How can anybody dislike her.
Don't ever forget that performance!! TOPS!!
6 years later AND i still love this performance... I love her!!
This will forever be my favorite studio version out of all of Haley's performances (& trust me I have them all on my ipod).
So, so, so, soulful!
Haley sings with such passion...she should have appeared on the recent tribute to the Beatles special and sang this song!
The vocal is just unbelievable...enough said!
All these years later and I still havent found someone to sing the word "me" better than she has.
she really got a hold of me!!!she is AWESOME!!!!!!!
Hailey you are a great singer and perfoemer. You have soul. Etta James is in the audience beaming.
This performance really made me appreciate her as vocalist.....this and Benny & the Jets. Obviously she could always sing but now she's picking songs that prove it!!! So glad she's still hangin' on!!!
she's a virgo and of course ppl would hate on her cuz she's got mad presence and an attractive and irresistable spirit. she be rippin' that stage. every single time!! work mama!

SHE JUST KILLED THESE GREAT SONG
Haley is not only one of the three best American Idol vocalist of all time, she is also the most sexy American Idol contestant of all time on top of it.
I was so upset when she didn't win. She was by far my fav from her season. Her vocals are out of this world. Gives me chills.
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.
Perfect and Beautiful! Just amazing
She was too good for this show.
That last note that she hit with all those runs...WOW!!! She should've won on that alone! But I can't wait for her first single in march!
There is a possibility that Haley CAN win!! It's going to be difficult but we can do it!! If we all work together it will be easier! Everyone just has to VOTE!!!!
legit this was the best season of american idol
She is defiantly one my faves this season! I hope she wins it!
can't get this song outta my head!! Haley's awesome !!
I love her runs at the end!
GOOSEBUMPS!
World class vocals right there and she oozes sex appeal. She's a born star.
She definitely has the "it" factor going on. Or that X factor.
love love love and what an ending..
Man i knew scotty would win from the beginning... but i always wanted haley to!!! She's so amazing! I hope she makes a CD soon!
now that I'm rewatching this, I can't believe that she didn't get a standing ovation for this o.O
The single best performance on idol ever.
cant wait till her album comes out, i will be the first one to buy it.
The ONLY reason I watched IDOL for the first time........she has been signed to a record label and an album should be out next year.........rock on Haley
So good whoa
hailey is naturally beautiful and very talented.....but......that straight hair just makes me melt :P never met her, and she already broke my heart :(

Love all those runs she does with her voice, it sounds great and it doesn't sound as overdone as some artists lol
The ending was really awesome!
she looks so different with her hair straightened!
UNDERRATED.
One of the most underrated performances in AI history. I've never continued an obsession with one of the contestants like I have Haley.
Anxiously awaiting some new music from this girl -3

Hi Wspaniale,pozdrowienia z Polski:):)

just getting down those steps in those shoes should've gotten her a standing ovation.
i love how can she can just be the best even in heels!(:
This was the only performance she EVER straightened her hair throughout the entire competition.
Let's HELP HALEY!!!, Her EP is only No. 37 at Billboard's Top 200 on its 2nd week while Lauren went down from 24 to No. 35. James Durbin is No. 38 with almost the same sales as Haley (24,000) while Durbin has 25,000. If we love Haley, we must raise her up the Billboard charts!!!
I LOVE THIS GIRL!
I really like her outfit :)
YASSS!!!! The stank face is strong on this one. OMG I still love Haley and I still believe she should have won this season.
