+Kyle Roberts No, being good at something is in no way a requirement to tell if something is good. I'm not a filmmaker but I still know The Godfather is good.
This is what a real American Idol is. She's not a shock and awe singer whose only defining point is obnoxious runs. In addition to technical mastery of the voice, her timbre, musical understanding, feel, and performing qualities are jaw dropping and innate. Her singing defines "soul." Just phenomenal.
She's still an amazing singer, interpreter of older music, she has a wonderful ability to make old, new. Things I didn't like as a kid, I love when I hear her sing them - this is one of those. I still, after all this time, have chills through the entire performance, and Randy's still right, she is SO good. Her new album's first tracks are out and they're great too, I don't care that she didn't win her season, though she should have, she's still here and still making beautiful music. That's enough for me.
Haley Reinhart , 2022: "I’m pleased to announce I'm returning to American Idol as a guest mentor for Hollywood Week. I'll be mentoring the soul genre. ❤️🔥 Tune in next Monday, March 28th"
Haley is better than almost all the judges, except for Mariah Carey and Steven Tyler. They could blow the shit out of Haley. She's one of my fav and obviously the best of that season, it's a shame that she was voted off :(
Not a shame at all. The woman who won is publishing Country Pop crap that sounds just like every other woman producing in that genre. Haley tours the world with PostModern Jukebox and is well on her way to becoming a star. :) She's got what it takes
she didn't get enough credit for how much better she was than everyone else this season... vocally she was the easy winner. for some reason the judges didn't let the tone deaf audience in on this secret.
That's what happens when you live in a nation where country music is huge and teen girls vote for whoever they think is the best looking guy and ignore everything else.
+Brandon Cimino Had the overwhelming majority of the voters comprised adults as opposed to young adolescent females, Haley would have won going away. As far as I'm concerned, she is the true season 10 winner.
eduardo castellanos LMAO! That low key over-rated fat pig has nothing on Haley reinhart.. I mean la porsha got an OK voice and but cant even hit high notes like the notes haley is hitting with so much ease..
James Worzalla yeah man. the best place to get in is 2 or 3 place cause that just means she can sign with anyone. if she got first she gets locks into their contract. which if you got time should give it a read over and youll see she is better off with someone else.
LEEboneisDaMan I get the feeling that throughout that season Tyler was the only one who actually "got" Haley musically. He seems to be in tune with what Haley is doing with the songs and how she's interpreting them.
Still my favorite version of this song, she killed it. I'm certain NO ONE hating on this could sing like that and anyone who could would respect her talent. Incredible. This was the best season of American Idol, imo.
I so agree. There never was, nor do ai think there eve will be a Season like Haley's Season 10. It was a magical, exciting season, but i truly believe it was Haley who brought the magic. The final 2 show was boring without her. Too bad #Idol producers were bent on have the 2 country kids finish, one and two. We will never know for sure who really won in the talley, but to most of us, Haley is truly the winner. She came in BEST.
Tammie Richardson It's really good but definitely not the best. Joshua ledet's when a man loves a woman or Jacob lusks "God bless the child" This is good but definitely not the best, the judges were not so blown away to even the point of standing ovation
villannn The judges stood for When a Man loves a woman as well. With Randall calling it the best performance ever on American Idol. But without a doubt Hailey has a beautiful voice and unique growl. She's really talented. I would've picked her for the winner of that season save for Jacob Lusk.
@@mashman8585 Joshua Ledet was great also, but Jacob Lusk's God Bless the Child was bloody awful. He went crazy on runs all over the place, and for me destroyed the song - literally, as in ruined it, not gave a great performance. A lot of thon modern Gospel singing, which is his background, is obsessed with runs. If the runs are long and ornate they must be great. Not true. They're shite. Listen to Mahalia Jackson or Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and older Gospel singers. More to the point, it's Jacob who should be listening to them.
+I Love Nutella & Troye Sivan NOT at all. Be sure to check out Haley's post-Idol work with Postmodern Jukebox as well: "Creep," "Seven Nation Army," "Lovefool," "Habits," "Oops! I did it again!" and the group number "All About That Bass."
A decade later she still hits my soul with her singing .. my daughter was watching “We can be heroes” on Netflix and she sings that song “we can be heroes” and omg she gave me chills ❤❤❤ she’s got it!!!!
Tee Dawg same reason why Clay Aiken lost. Same reason why Adam Lambert lost. Same reason why David Archuleta lost. Same reason why Chris Daughtry lost. Same reason why Colton Dixon lost. America is a bunch of idiots
+Branflakes Actually, it was young adolescent females that destroyed the show. Adults voted for the most talented, while the young adolescent female voters that voted repeatedly over and over again as a voting bloc couldn't have cared less about who was the most talented.
I will never forget this performance I was 13 years old and I remember hearing the most beautiful voice thinking I could do the same thing one day. I’m 24 and her voice still gives me chills and I still sing it like my voice didn’t give out 4 years ago 😂
She's incredible. I power voted and really felt she should win over the two country "wanna be love story" BS that the producers had in mind. Haley was hands down by far better than both of them combined.
It's a feat that the last beautiful note came out with like zero vibrato. Then again, it's a feat and a privilege to hear her singing this amazing song.
Yeah this season and the season after with Jessica Sanchez. After that it just went downhill. I didn't watch it after that and I guess a lot of people aswell.
Simply phenomenal! Why isn't Haley Reinhart at the top of Billboard right now?? Get her on the radio and get all those ridiculous wannabes off the air!!
This was first song I learned to play guitar. I heard it thousands of time from different artist and it never gets old but Haley's version was something special.. Thanks..
One of the most talented AI contestant for me. The voice is so unique and she has complete mastery of it. A lot may have bigger, higher and more powerful voice but this one just comes once in a blue moon.
9 years later and her skill is still seared into my mind. All other contestants and winners of AI I have long since forgotten. Her losing was in hindsight an absolute mistake…
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.
TZuqI Keul Turn the volume up a notch or two and listen, through head/ear phones, you will hear her haunting voice reverberating (echo) through the hall. It's absolutely beautiful!
While Haley got screwed on Idol, and I think her performances stand the test of time (go listen to the iTunes version of Earth Song , for example, and recall that she was trashed and bullied by a couple of the judges for performing that tune), she seems to be quite happy with her career as it stands now. Idol is a mixed bag for Haley since it did give her national exposure. She has a song charting on top 40 radio (Can't Help Falling in Love) -- and that happened totally by accident after she recorded the song for a gum commercial (which went viral on FB and has more than 100 million views there, as well as millions of views on various YT uploads [both the commercial and the song alone]). She has accomplished this without the backing of a label. Speaking of advertisements, her song Show Me Your Moves is featured in a Chase commercial that runs all the time and was also featured in Cubus TV spots in Europe. The song was also just featured in the season premiere of Dancing With the Stars. She recently appeared as a mentor on American Idol and performed a couple duets. In the past six weeks she has been doing shows (including #SXSW) and radio appearances promoting her single and upcoming album. She popped over to the UK and did a few shows with Postmodern Jukebox (her song Creep is the most viewed PMJ song and she has more than 50 million YT views with her PMJ work in a year). Her album is ready to come out in April. While she was approached my multiple labels, she is choosing to release this independently with her publishing rights company (ole/Red Dot). She plans to tour this summer. Haley has also branched out into voice acting as the voice of Bill on the animated Netflix show F is For Family. She plays the voice of Bill Burr as a youth. Not too shabby as she has established multiple review streams and a diversified professional presence. Some belittle the fact she isn't s superstar by now, or complain that she should be -- but I don't think that is her agenda. She wants success for sure, and she is achieving it on her terms. Shows like American Idol can catapulte young singers into the big spotlight, but sometimes they need to step back and work on developing their talent and understanding their interests. She has spent time writing songs and developing her stage presence outside the big spotlights and it is coming together for her quite nicely.
A bit of update on Haley: She just finished a successful US tour featuring her new material, and she is heading to Europe in September. She has a lot of gigs lined up this summer. In the next three days she will be playing in Bethesda and Atlantic City with Dave Damiani's jazz band. She just finished some voiceover recording for next 'Netflix show "F is For Family" with Bill Burr, Michael Price, Laura Dern and others. Netflix has indicated that it is a top ten show they have produced. She continues to periodically work with PMJ. Her most recent cover being Blackhole Sun. She will be performing with them at Radio City Music Hall on return from her European tour. The Wrigleys gum commercial has been accumulating all kinds of awards and recognition. Can't Help Falling In Love had a good run on the charts and still brings in some cash for Haley. She continues to promote her album.
@@johnkess2174 The things you regret very often are the things you didna do. I saw Haley in Glasgow when she was over here last time but I didna buy the special ticket to meet her afterwards For this year's tour I decided I'd go for it and get to meet her. And what's happened? Covid bloody 19 and a cancelled tour. At my age and being at particular risk, I'll probably never will get to meet her now. Why, oh why did I not do it when she was here last time? I think there's a very plain moral in my story. Every now and again I have to console myself with a puckle of glasses of a good malt whisky which I'm now doing. It's always good to see your comments.
One of if not the best female vocalists worldwide. The judges are not in the same class as Hayley, they have no need to comment at all as het performance says it all, brilliant.
Haley is currently on her longest tour to date. Remaining dates: March 11 - Charolette NC March 12 - Richmond VA March 13 - Norfolk VA March 14 - Charleston WV March 15 - Sellersville PA March 17 - White Plains NY March 18 - South Orange NJ March 19 - New York NY March 21 - Red Bank NJ March 22 - Old Saybrook, CT March 23 - Natick MA March 24 - Albany NY March 26 - Portsmouth NH March 29 - Turners Falls MA March 30 - Sidney ME March 31 - Norwalk CT
Beyond the disappointment of her not winning, when she clearly should have, she hasn't had the success of some of the other AI alumni, several of whom couldn't come close to her talent. One of the things these vocal competition shows have shown, is that there is more to being a "great singer," than being a "great singer." Though in Haley's case, I think it's more about her doing what she wants to do, rather than trying to win a Grammy or be a diva. I think she's stayed true to who she is. PMJ was/is (I think) a great gig for her. They've toured all over the world and I get the sense she's having fun doing what she loves. She still has plenty of singing years left. I wish her the best. She certainly deserves it!
Wow! Watched some American Idol 2018 and just wanted to checkout some past contestants when I stumbled on this performance. She was so great I checked out all of her performances and I think she is one of the greatest discoveries American Idol ever made. I don't know who won that year but Haley Reinhart we hope you keep on singing, you are fantastic!
That doesn't change the fact. Haley Had more potential, a better voice, and alot of diversity in her skill set. The winner of this season had a weaker voice very generic vision with her art and basically only sang country. Haley has managed to be successful even thou she didn't win. Its not immaturity, its remorse.
@@unphayzable6637 Please give some examples of her bitchiness. Some other people have said the same thing, but they've never replied to my requests for examples. Perhaps you will.
+Natalie Romano It was the fucked up voting system on Idol, where voters got to vote as many times as possible for 2 hours after the show. So young adolescent females always controlled who won the show, and talent wasn't their top priority, cute boys were their top priority.
I had to listen to this for a choir assignment, the teacher gave us 3 covers of this song and told us to choose which one we like the best, I chose this one.
We're living in a world where Jennifer Lopez judges Haley Reinhart's singing.
+cc22ful HAHAH SERIOUSLY she has zero authority to judge literally anyone's singing. it rly pisses me off
+autumn Who says you have to be better than someone at something to judge?
+Jae Pham common sense for one.
+Kyle Roberts No, being good at something is in no way a requirement to tell if something is good. I'm not a filmmaker but I still know The Godfather is good.
+Dino Spumoni um, yes it is. a movie critic is more equipped than you would be to say if a movie is good. They have the education for it.
I'm sorry but this chick should have won.
yah ik scotty shouldn't have
+Amy Darnell-Fuchs I was a James Fan personally, but I wouldve been happy with either those two or Casey.
+Amy Darnell-Fuchs She literally belting it in parts and it sounds awful some places. Shes a good singer just needs to stop yelling.
+Jonathan Sinanan sure she was in pitch.. But it created a strain... Sounded bad. I like her voice when it isn't like this.
Amy Darnell-Fuchs well she got a job with pmj stop she did certainly not do badly
This is what a real American Idol is. She's not a shock and awe singer whose only defining point is obnoxious runs. In addition to technical mastery of the voice, her timbre, musical understanding, feel, and performing qualities are jaw dropping and innate. Her singing defines "soul." Just phenomenal.

love it when the contestants are better than every judge they've ever had
+music36man
I disagree. The only thing Steven Tyler has on Haley is his legacy, but Haley is actually a better vocalist than Steven Tyler.
Haley is better than almost all the judges, except for Mariah Carey and Steven Tyler. They could blow the shit out of Haley. She's one of my fav and obviously the best of that season, it's a shame that she was voted off :(
Not a shame at all. The woman who won is publishing Country Pop crap that sounds just like every other woman producing in that genre. Haley tours the world with PostModern Jukebox and is well on her way to becoming a star. :) She's got what it takes
This performance is legendary but I don't exactly think Steven Tyler has a single thing to envy of it lol.
JFbabe Better to imagine the two in a duet, That would be utter AwesomeSauce ;)
I totally forgot she was on American Idol! I came here from Postmodern Jukebox!
Who won in this season?
Someone not nearly as good as Haley is.
Same here! Saw PMJ in Dunedin, NZ last week and loved them!
Same here and the PMJ stuff is a way better sound
Haley will become far more popular in the not too distant future. She has some pretty exciting new things in the works.
she didn't get enough credit for how much better she was than everyone else this season... vocally she was the easy winner. for some reason the judges didn't let the tone deaf audience in on this secret.
+SincereDoper LOL!!
who beat her out?
Its kinda laughable how she was compared to Scotty and Lauren.
She wasn’t cookie-cut popular girl enough, that’s why she didn’t win. I loved her and screamed murder when she didn’t win.
I agree
No doubt the most iconic performance in the history of American Idol!
yet she lost over 2 mediocre teens
That's what happens when you live in a nation where country music is huge and teen girls vote for whoever they think is the best looking guy and ignore everything else.
+Brandon Cimino Had the overwhelming majority of the voters comprised adults as opposed to young adolescent females, Haley would have won going away. As far as I'm concerned, she is the true season 10 winner.

eduardo castellanos LMAO! That low key over-rated fat pig has nothing on Haley reinhart.. I mean la porsha got an OK voice and but cant even hit high notes like the notes haley is hitting with so much ease..
+Sejuani right
I discovered her sometime after midnight. It's now almost 5 a.m.
I’ve loved her since she first auditioned for American idol! She’s the best!!!!
It was a rabbit hole that I was 100% ok with
A third finisher that should've won in a season filled with 2 mediocre country singers. Wtf.
Yup you t so right. Haley, the best of the Best
Better off without the contract I say. She is rolling with post modern jukebox a lot now
Man OfMovies You said it. Glad she didn't, though.
Man OfMovies Based on the work she did after the show, they should've stopped the show and gone home for not giving her 1st place.
James Worzalla yeah man. the best place to get in is 2 or 3 place cause that just means she can sign with anyone. if she got first she gets locks into their contract. which if you got time should give it a read over and youll see she is better off with someone else.
This will forever remain the best Idol performance. Haven't forgotten after all this time.
She gave you 45 seconds of acapella perfection. Whitney Houston did that. This woman was just too good for this show.
ARGH. She DEFINITELY should've won. One of the craziest performances ever on Idol.
3 years later and this performance still sends shivers down my spine. Every. Single. Time.
Its 2022 and it still does.
Absolutely
Same here
Was this the "Oh sh*t she should win but might not because of the two country stars " moment for anyone else?
Yes. What a joke. Another hilljack wins the cake. #fuckidolthatswhyihateit
LEEboneisDaMan I get the feeling that throughout that season Tyler was the only one who actually "got" Haley musically. He seems to be in tune with what Haley is doing with the songs and how she's interpreting them.
She now sings with Post Modern Jukebox .. She did a cover of "Creep" .. check it out
djrickysmith she also did a cover of mad world with postmodern jukebox and puddles pity party. Check it out
amazing cover
Just watched it 👍
I did and was blown away!!! Awesome xxxxx
She's the only ex-idol contestant that I give a crap about.
Still my favorite version of this song, she killed it. I'm certain NO ONE hating on this could sing like that and anyone who could would respect her talent. Incredible. This was the best season of American Idol, imo.
I totally agree, it must have been some foul play in that season though Haley should have won she was the best i stopped watching idol after that .
Tom Fredriksen Me too!!
The part starting 'oh mother tell your children' is one of the great couplets of any song ever
Zoe Abarnathy haly is definitely the best woman singer there is
I so agree. There never was, nor do ai think there eve will be a Season like Haley's Season 10. It was a magical, exciting season, but i truly believe it was Haley who brought the magic.

She sang this to perfection. She has one of the most unique voices Ive ever heard. So sultry....
She fits perfectly with Post Modern Jukebox. Love those guys!!
She's an old soul.
It’s 2021 and I’m back to watching this. This performance was something else. Love her
I agree!
Yes
this is the top performance in the history of America Idol
Agree. Nobody nobody sang this song like Haley.
Haley should've WON in 2011.
Tammie Richardson It's really good but definitely not the best. Joshua ledet's when a man loves a woman or Jacob lusks "God bless the child" This is good but definitely not the best, the judges were not so blown away to even the point of standing ovation

Same. No shame tbh
+I Love Nutella & Troye Sivan This is the same thing that happened to me
same here
Just to be clear, all the other singes in singing competitions who sang this song, copied this version. Haley just slayed.
goosebumps, every time I hear her sing, goosebumps.
Jason Young Seriously. Best cover of this song, hands down.
She nailed all her performances and it’s a shame she didn’t win. Her rendition of Bennie and the Jets is top tier
A decade later she still hits my soul with her singing .. my daughter was watching “We can be heroes” on Netflix and she sings that song “we can be heroes” and omg she gave me chills ❤❤❤ she’s got it!!!!
I will never stop thanking my dad for bringing us to watch her sing live for her hometown performance even though it was raining.
Im obsessed with her. I don't really watch concerts but for her I will Rain or shine.
@@thousandyardgavri2785 She sounds astronomically far better live.
top 10 of all time!!! so good!!!
This may be my favorite American Idol performance of all time.
My favorite American idol contestant ever
Never forgot this woman…One hell of a singer 😩❤️
I love this song by the Animals BUT this is one of the best performances on Idol EVER !!! Haley was incredible.........loved her so much !
Covered by the Animals.
just gonna have her voice on repeat for the rest of my life. don't mind me
Throwback to when American Idol was actually good
Jadon of course it was, it had Steven Tyler 😏
Still getting blown away! Rock the hell on Haley!!
Who's watching this in 2016?
Me
I am watching this in 2024
to this day i dont know why she didnt win
Teenage girls and the country vote.
Tee Dawg same reason why Clay Aiken lost. Same reason why Adam Lambert lost. Same reason why David Archuleta lost. Same reason why Chris Daughtry lost. Same reason why Colton Dixon lost.
America is a bunch of idiots
jennifer hudson..Katharine McPhee ... kellie pickler..

Actually, it was young adolescent females that destroyed the show. Adults voted for the most talented, while the young adolescent female voters that voted repeatedly over and over again as a voting bloc couldn't have cared less about who was the most talented.

One of the most spectacular versions ever to come out of any show.
I have heard this song done by artists in the 30's40'50' 70's. This is definitely the every best version I have ever heard don.
Who's still watching Haley's performances in AI? 2019 peeps?
This gurl should've won. 😭
2021 and still watching
march 21
I'm speechless.....
lookup POSTMODERN JUKEBOX HALEY REINHART, some killer stuff there.
Yes, I know it's 2023, but this was one of my favorite American Idol performances ever! She SANG that song!!!
The single best performance ever on this show, without question.
this still gives me the chills
She captures the true soul of the song
Haley brings this song to an entire new level. Absolutely love it.
I still come back to this in 2022. Unmatched!
This is one of the BEST performances that AI EVER had.
Haley Reinhart was and still is one of the best singers I have ever heard in any singing contest show. Just Amazing!🎉❤
holllly actual fuck this girl can sing. godamn
best performance on idol EVER
Man I love her voice and the way she sings this song so much that i can't stop coming back to this video, year after year!
Still watching this in 2019. This is pure SOUL. This girl is freakin’ AMAZING.
This was back when American Idol was fantastic!
Yeah this season and the season after with Jessica Sanchez. After that it just went downhill. I didn't watch it after that and I guess a lot of people aswell.
@@pangzed8448 Candice, Kree and Angie carried the season after but even they can't stop the show from going downhill
Simply phenomenal! Why isn't Haley Reinhart at the top of Billboard right now?? Get her on the radio and get all those ridiculous wannabes off the air!!
I agree, but she is t on the bill board because she didn't want to sell her soul to the media and music business.
Well, she wasn't signed to a major record label, but she is now.
5 years later and still. This is nuts, she can out-sing just about anyone I've ever heard and still is ignored. It's a travesty.
She probably doesn’t like children.
She’s been exploring different genres but I personally think she’s best at jazz and that’s where she really shines.
This was first song I learned to play guitar. I heard it thousands of time from different artist and it never gets old but Haley's version was something special.. Thanks..
This is like the best performance on a casting show ever.
One of the most talented AI contestant for me. The voice is so unique and she has complete mastery of it. A lot may have bigger, higher and more powerful voice but this one just comes once in a blue moon.
Wow! This is the best live version of this song I've ever heard.
9 years later and her skill is still seared into my mind.
All other contestants and winners of AI I have long since forgotten.
Her losing was in hindsight an absolute mistake…
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.
That acapella is awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
TZuqI Keul Turn the volume up a notch or two and listen, through head/ear phones, you will hear her haunting voice reverberating (echo) through the hall. It's absolutely beautiful!
Yes I am still watching in late April 2015, and still love it.❤
By far the best performance on American Idol all time, as this girl had a bunch of great performances during the time she performed on American Idol.
While Haley got screwed on Idol, and I think her performances stand the test of time (go listen to the iTunes version of Earth Song , for example, and recall that she was trashed and bullied by a couple of the judges for performing that tune), she seems to be quite happy with her career as it stands now.

She has accomplished this without the backing of a label.
Speaking of advertisements, her song Show Me Your Moves is featured in a Chase commercial that runs all the time and was also featured in Cubus TV spots in Europe. The song was also just featured in the season premiere of Dancing With the Stars.
She recently appeared as a mentor on American Idol and performed a couple duets. In the past six weeks she has been doing shows (including #SXSW) and radio appearances promoting her single and upcoming album. She popped over to the UK and did a few shows with Postmodern Jukebox (her song Creep is the most viewed PMJ song and she has more than 50 million YT views with her PMJ work in a year).
Her album is ready to come out in April. While she was approached my multiple labels, she is choosing to release this independently with her publishing rights company (ole/Red Dot). She plans to tour this summer.
Haley has also branched out into voice acting as the voice of Bill on the animated Netflix show F is For Family. She plays the voice of Bill Burr as a youth.
Not too shabby as she has established multiple review streams and a diversified professional presence. Some belittle the fact she isn't s superstar by now, or complain that she should be -- but I don't think that is her agenda. She wants success for sure, and she is achieving it on her terms.

Very nice assessment.
A bit of update on Haley:

The Wrigleys gum commercial has been accumulating all kinds of awards and recognition. Can't Help Falling In Love had a good run on the charts and still brings in some cash for Haley. She continues to promote her album.
Update 2: Among other things Can't Help Falling in Love went Platinum.

The things you regret very often are the things you didna do. I saw Haley in Glasgow when she was over here last time but I didna buy the special ticket to meet her afterwards
For this year's tour I decided I'd go for it and get to meet her. And what's happened? Covid bloody 19 and a cancelled tour. At my age and being at particular risk, I'll probably never will get to meet her now. Why, oh why did I not do it when she was here last time?
I think there's a very plain moral in my story. Every now and again I have to console myself with a puckle of glasses of a good malt whisky which I'm now doing. It's always good to see your comments.
Go listen to her cover of blackhole sun it's beyond amazing
My best contestant ever in all seasons of American idol
There has never been a better performance on Idol. EVER.
I love this. It blew my mind that she was so young and did that LIVE. love the deeper grittier voices most young girls my age dont tend to have
One of if not the best female vocalists worldwide. The judges are not in the same class as Hayley, they have no need to comment at all as het performance says it all, brilliant.

This is the best most incredible performance I've seen she is gorgeous!!
Great performance.Still think it's the BEST version to date, she made it her own. Sends shivers down my spine each time I hear it.
I came here because i saw pmj's habits cover
Beyond the disappointment of her not winning, when she clearly should have, she hasn't had the success of some of the other AI alumni, several of whom couldn't come close to her talent. One of the things these vocal competition shows have shown, is that there is more to being a "great singer," than being a "great singer." Though in Haley's case, I think it's more about her doing what she wants to do, rather than trying to win a Grammy or be a diva. I think she's stayed true to who she is. PMJ was/is (I think) a great gig for her. They've toured all over the world and I get the sense she's having fun doing what she loves. She still has plenty of singing years left. I wish her the best. She certainly deserves it!
without a doubt the most iconic performance in idol history
One of the best covers ever
Wow! Watched some American Idol 2018 and just wanted to checkout some past contestants when I stumbled on this performance. She was so great I checked out all of her performances and I think she is one of the greatest discoveries American Idol ever made. I don't know who won that year but Haley Reinhart we hope you keep on singing, you are fantastic!

I haven't watched Idol for years. I found Haley when I recently discovered Postmodern Jukebox.
Hayley got screwed. The song should have won her the title.
nope. some low singin country bumkin won.
KupoXieoTT Why do you have to bash someone else just because the girl you liked didn't win?! That's a big sign of immaturity!
That doesn't change the fact. Haley Had more potential, a better voice, and alot of diversity in her skill set. The winner of this season had a weaker voice very generic vision with her art and basically only sang country. Haley has managed to be successful even thou she didn't win. Its not immaturity, its remorse.
mason harris I remember her going home because of two things.
1. People shipped Scott and Lauren
2. She was a bitch during the competition.
@@unphayzable6637
Please give some examples of her bitchiness. Some other people have said the same thing, but they've never replied to my requests for examples. Perhaps you will.
5/3/2023 i still cannot believe she didnt win american idol, she should be more famous
June 2023.... still cherish this as one of my favorite remakes. ❤
2017 and i am still coming back to watch this legendary performance
The best idol ever! Her version of Benny and the jets was awesome.
That was the best Perfomance ever in any show! She is slayhaley
best cover of this song on these shows omg
She should have been the winner!!!
This absolutely blew me away.
Seven years later I still come back to this song. Awesome performance!!
I’ve lost count on the number of times I’ve watched this 🤩
She's so hot.
Cory Hall Yep she's pretty damn sexy and she's only bloody singing? What the hell's she like when she's trying to be sexy? Definitely over 9000.....
Uchiha Hohua Her voice alone oozes eroticism. With a voice like that there's no "trying" to be sexy...
Uchiha Hohua just check out "Postmodern Jukebox - Oops I Did It Again" to see her doing both (;
Haha her voice makes her sexy, but then you look at her and it's like ^_^
how the hell didn't she win

It was the fucked up voting system on Idol, where voters got to vote as many times as possible for 2 hours after the show. So young adolescent females always controlled who won the show, and talent wasn't their top priority, cute boys were their top priority.
She OWNED this song!
12years still my fav version of this song
I had to listen to this for a choir assignment, the teacher gave us 3 covers of this song and told us to choose which one we like the best, I chose this one.
