- With a shock to many, Haley was eliminated. For her swan song she reprised her popular "Bennie and the Jets" performance from Elton John week (Top 11 part 2 - Mar 30). When she steped down to the judges table, Haley changed the lyrics to "Say, Randy & J.Lo have you seen them yet?..."
The song was composed by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and first appeared on the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album in 1973. "Bennie and the Jets" has been one of John's most popular songs. Elton John was set against releasing "Bennie and the Jets" on side one of the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album, and was against releasing it as a single, believing it would fail. The song peaked at #1 on the US singles charts in 1974. It was also John's first Top 40 hit on the R&B charts, going to #1 there as well.
Axl Rose, of Guns N' Roses, has stated it was listening to "Bennie and the Jets" that inspired him to become a singer. He would later perform alongside Elton John at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert.

Now that's how you get eliminated slaying everything in existence
Slayed the judges and finished off with her friends!
“you’ll be seeing me” 10 years later and she has a successful music, voice acting and now acting career! so proud of her
Give me a break. Her career has been extreamly underwhelming. Thanks to her own gross mismanagement of her own career.
@@theblackdog2399 how has she mismanaged her career lol she’s very successful and makes a living doing what she loves
This was almost like a winning performance minus the confetti
After five years I still can't believe she finished behind those two goofballs.
+Mets7chris Most people to this day can't believe it either.
Saaaaaaaaaaame
If it really mattered, I would be pissed too.
Goofballs is right. Lauren is pretty good but that's it. Scotty is meh
After 11 years I still can't believe she finished behind those two goofballs.
Well then...so she performed the HELL out of this song!!! I'm obsessed.
i AM OBSESSED TOO!! 30 TIMES PER YEAR I PLAY THIS SONG BY HALEY!
When she said, “Yeah baybeh you’ll be seeing me! This ain’t the end of this thang!” I literally got chills
She is a fucking QUEEN
@Paul Steinwall she’s all over the place?!!
@Paul Steinwall voice actress in a netflix series and she just debuted a film on netflix just recently tho.
"she who laughs last, laughs loudest"
I believe that the literal quote ended "Laughs best", but we get the picture.
What a beautiful winners performance this season had, wonder who those two people on the stage where?
Mj Sara I know lmao, it was a joke
but thanks anyways :)
+Noah manning Idk who they are but they certainly don't look like they belong on the stage.
I listen to this all the time now. I looooved when she went up to the judges! And her "ssssssss" to the camera!
+Marco Brown and her thumbs up to Steven
Yes!
Legit keep playing this song over and over again... soooo obsessed with her rendition of it!
To me, Haley was the last worth-watching contestant of this season. When she left, I even didn't want to watch the finale or expect anything interesting from it anymore.
fobt90
Her duet with Tony Bennett was great, short though it was.
I still cant believe she lost to Lauren and Scotty! What a travesty!
Peace Frog, It is worth remembering that the American public who voted Haley off American Idol before Lauren and Scotty were the same American public who elected George Bush their president; TWICE!!.
Probably the best I've seen on Idol. Really no doubt about it. I just started to discover her. She is really good.
This supposed to be her winning song
Still not over her in 2023 ❤
2019 and still my fav
Brilliant exit by Haley from the pitch perfect singing to her backwards slink down the steps mocking her fall yesterday to the lyric change up to include the judges to jamming with her idol mates to the ending monologue “Oh baby you’ll be seein’ me! This ain’t the end of this! This ain’t the end of this thing! Shin-dig! See ya later!” Rock on Haley! Can't wait for your single. Thank you repad for a great tribute!
She went out with class and sass!!! And look at thejoy and pride and joy she has as she sings her swan song. Such strength courage and mad vocals.. I respect that she didn't cry and do the weepy stuff that is so annoying. Class ACT, Haley!
4 yrs later and I'm still like where she get those jeans and top from? Lol
Buckle
She was the REAL winner in my opinion .. what a voice!!❤🎙
I still consider this her winning performance
Best Contestan AI ever.. For me!!
I was so upset I really wanted her win!! I loved when she sang this song, she's soo amazing
Thanks repad for bringing all of Haley's great performances together in such perfect quality!!!
thankyou so much for uploading this, what an amazing vocalist she is
I keep coming back to this sooo many times! Love it
@mhmarcum Read the video's description, for the answer.
One of the best swan song exits ever on Idol. No crying, great attitude and fun. PURE CLASS!!!
i love the little montage at the end that you put together. I really wanted her to go all the way. She was amazingly talented and entertaining to watch. Will miss her.
Repad, thanks for bringing a tear to my eye, absolutely beautiful.
thank you!!! great Haley tribute!!!!!!
I just love how the contestants that dont win idol turn out to be more famous than the person who won...
+Sharon De Leon if you asked the non-winning contestants who they thought should have won, I suspect it would be almost unanimous - Haley
+Sharon De leon Except Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and to a lesser extent, Jordin Sparks. Unfortunately it's usually a popularity contest, not a singing/music contest. I'm making some generalisations here, but it seems like the male winners never do well after the show because they only got all the 'he's hot!' votes from teenage girls. The same girls who vote for guys like Nick Fraidiani buy pop or r&b music in everyday life, not country, acoustic or pop/rock.
I know a lady who's son is in the industry and she tells me that shows like these usually have the winners in 2+ year contracts in which they sing only what they are given and they cannot be involved in other projects in relation to music or even acting. So perhaps these winners are limited to what they can do with their talent.
If anything, I'm happy she lost she is so successful now with Post Modern Jukebox
Funny never hear her on the radio. I think her relationship with the judges was contentious at best. Great voice but her attitude sucks, glad she was eliminated. Out of the 3 I think Lauren Alaina gets more air play.
@@JohnMarra lol funny you said that, her cover with modern jukebox "creep" was trending a year ago. She gave memorable performances in that season .
This is the embodiment of “going out in style”
Now right there... That's a freaking Rockstar!
I still go back to this performance from time to time. What a slap to those 2 judges and the other 2 contestants. I loved how she gave Steven a thumbs up, we all know Steven fought for her and she knows it.
If you've read/seen her post-elimination interviews, Haley said she was the one who came up with the arrangement for this performance. My love for her and this performance just doubled. You are awesome Haley.
Thank you for posting this. I didn't necessary to see it uploaded since repad already had her actual performance of this.
That night American Idol became Country Idol.
She was my personal favorite, but I didn't really expect her to win. I expected James to win. Lauren's a sweet girl & can sing, but she just didn't stand out like some of the others did in my eyes. Lauren herself said that she was a fan of Haley.
It was great adding those clips of other of her performances on at the end. It really emphasises her huge, wide-ranging talent which so outshone all the other contestants.
And if the contestants had decided the winner, I'm pretty sure Haley would have won quite easily. They would have understood her exceptional talent.
She's such a great performer!
Okay, so we all know Haley has the best vocals, but she's also the best performer. She feels every lyric she belts out, & not to mention those moves. DAYUUMMM.
America claims to know music but with the recent seasons of American Idols, I highly beg to differ because I will never get over THIS GIRL not winning!
The best swan song ever
This performance is such a mood for ending 2020: I lost an amazing internship at Disney to the pandemic, but I got chosen for a wonderful job at University of Kansas Medical Center in November. Sorrowful but always rejoicing... like Haley I’m saying “it ain’t the end of this thing!” What an inspiring queen, God bless and take care y’all xD
Thank you, sir, for the upload! I love this girl!
I loved this performance of hers. It was the biggest, sweetest most epic F you for all the time the judges (Randy and J-Lo) criticized her unjustly. She was smart, sexy and a phenomenal singer, she knew and that’s why they didn’t like her. She was the queen and real winner in my opinion.
it's 2013, and this still remains the best exit performance to date. perhaps even better than some performances in the competition now.
It’s 2023 and it still remains the best exit performance.
@@tikilouie i have to agree
A beauty in every sense. And her voice, well, what can I say? One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. Some stars would kill to have it and control it that way. All the best for you, Haley!
Very nIce video, picked it up from Idolheaded top 35 performances for Season 10, Part 1, which were all Haley performances. No tears from Haley, she was surprised for a moment, then gave Lauren the hug and then gave a great farewell performance. She was even creative enough to have some fun with the judges too...couldn't agree more with the "so spaced out" award to Randy & JLo. Can't ever remember a season on Idol where 2 judges were such cheerleaders for "their" contestants.
One of the best voices of all time hands down!!!!
Repad - You will now FINALLY get the views you well deserve! Once again your work is the best, and you appear to have the correct disclaimers. Nicely done!
absolutely love Haley! since seeing this live on TV many moons ago. what a gem
still upset she didn't win years later she is amazing
I get chills EVERY TIME I watch this. It's insane.
i would never get tired listening to her ...
Still obsessed with this performance 11 years later and I'm so grateful to have seen Haley perform it live. I was devastated when she got eliminated! She deserved it all the way! EIDT: Is that Elle Fanning at 2:20 ? lol
i was actually having my duty in the hospital when my friend told me that Haley was eliminated on idol. my heart was crushed and i cannot believe it.
Haley, we still love you no matter what. youre still our idol :) the WORLD'S IDOL. we'll look forward to yer first album. God Bless! :)
I really don't understand how could that guy that i don't even remember his name win this season, with talents like Haley, James, Jacob, Casey and Pia. They were just amazing. All of them were better singers and entertainers.
haley is my drug
i can't spend a day without watching and listening to her videos
Only shit anyone else noticed Elle fanning 2:20
what the FUCK
Stephanie Zamora who?
This performance makes me want to grin and sob uncontrollably at the same time. Haley is amazing, and she will go very far. I'll be the first to buy her album!
This is one of the best cover performances I have seen of Elton John's song "Bennie and the Jets"! I think even Elton has to like this one!
I could listen to this all day. She's amazing :)
2024.... Still coming back to this... They fked up!
A melhor de todos os tempos !
Te amo Haley, te sigo desde este concurso de 5ta!!
Best moment for me in American Idol's 15 seasons ... plenty of other great ones, but this defines VICTORY ... slightly ironic that she was eliminated. .but coming in 3rd in a teen popularity contest aint much different than first in my book.
This was definitely the best performance of season 10. I think we're going to be in for one hell of a season next year and I'm very excited :]
When she realized there is no way I am going to get back in.. she sang her out out and told herself "well... now I'll jus show them all up"
@kisha73 Thank you...thank you...thank you!!! I'm so glad I replied to your other post. Can't believe I'd missed that part before.
GREAT sendoff. Never seen a contestant with such fierce determination.
After all these years. I still laugh hard at scottie's dancing. lol
@kisha73 i cant find where she says steven its bothering me lol i keep replayin it and cant hear it lol
:( thanx Haley for those great performances!!!!!! u will always be my all time favorite American Idol contestant!
I can't wait to buy her 1st album!!!
Haley is such a sweetheart and so much fun to watch...I love her. That was great to see her with her parents and all the contestants in the audience. I don't think I'm the only one who will buy any album she makes.....I don't know what the contract says but the further from Idol she gets, the better.
Her face at the beginning.. you could tell she was really upset but then she got into the song and was like F them, I'm gonna show everyone the mistake they made!
I love how Haley says all that random stuff at the end. She has such a sence of humor!
I always have a BIG ass smile on my face after watching this!
She gave SWAN SONG a whole new definition!
@repad where did u get the HD footage of the homecoming performances? (2:32)
This show did not deserve her. The same is with all of us. Do not let your talent to be judged by some undeserved strangers you will never see again.
I agree. It's an "in your face," this is what you're going to be missing!! What a fantastic finale. A Showcase. One to remember.
One of the most unique contestants to ever grace the Idol stage
Oh man, I never liked and enjoyed American Idol as much as I did this season only because of Haley Reinhart. Not just that, I became obsessed. As for performances, voice, personality, musicality, stage presence, Haley is just the best thing for me coming from this show. If it weren't for her I would have given a crap about this season the moment it ended, but instead here I am rewatching her videos over and over.
Besides saying Randy and J Lo I realized just now she also said after that "Bennie and Steven" hahaha
My idol right there,
@repad She does say "Steven"at 1:19 or so .She sings" Bennie and Steven" right before she holds his hand.I never noticed until I watched your awesome HD videos.
@LookingAtYouFool
She said in various interviews afterward that she went through a whole range of emotions (from her initial shock and disbelief to acceptance and finally resolving to 'go out with a bang' rather than break down into a emotional wreck like many others) in about 15 seconds. But after that she was alright and gave the best 'swan song' of the season if not the history of American Idol. The call-out to the judges and improv at the end were great flourishes. Thank you jazz school!
Haley is great................and this video is a great representation of her. Love it.
You can tell Steven REALLY enjoyed shaking her hand.
I am by no means watching the finale. Haley was the entire package; she was beautiful, talented, and a perfect vocalist. It's really a shame to see her go especially considering who's left. Unfortunately, she was always the underdog, so it's fantastic how far she was able to get, but i still wished she won! I will personally support her career, and I hope she rises to the top. After-all, she was my favourite artist from the whole series of American Idol.
- True Haley Fan & Supporter ♥
she killed this!! I especally love at the end when she said shut it down lol she is an amazing performer! I was like haley u better sing!!
LEGEND IN HE MAKING!
Oooh that's nice!
This is amazing! Haley is one of my favorite girls.
To me, Haley Reinhart forever will be the winner of season 10 in American Idol. I became her fan from the first time I heard that raspy sexy voice of hers. Oh, did I forget to mention that she is GORGEOUS!❤
She has one of the best voices I'v ever heard!!
If you haven't figured it out yet, just like our President's the winners are selected NOT elected...
I love her shoes!!! Anyboday knows what brand her shoes are? Please!!!!
Does anybody know the brand of her pumps? I just noticed her shoes and I would really like to know the brand of those shoes!!! I always love her outfits!!!!!
A truly professional, a classical class!
