Haley slays at Lollapalooza 2012

Fantasic wardrobe and makeup choices by Haley for this event, IMHO. And great setlist!

Absolutely! So appropriate for Lollapalooza and the heat yet so beautiful, natural, stylish and wonderful. Now bring on the videos.

The MTV Interview: "Haley Reinhart 'Lets Loose,' Raps At Lollapalooza"

The Lolla crowd also heard something new from the former "Idol" star: she busted out her rap skills. B.o.B, who is featured on "Oh My!" from her album, wasn't able to hit the stage, so Reinhart took it upon herself to rap his part.

"I (was) just like 'oh, I think I got it.' I did it a couple of times. I listened to it enough that I knew it, and my adrenaline was skyrocketing," Reinhart said. "So it came kind of naturally."

“I had never heard of her because I don't watch 'American Idol', but she really has a great voice,” said Alexa Lim of Forest Park.

“I just fell in love with her voice as soon as I heard it. I love that raspy sound,” said Rachel Jaeger, 19, who traveled from Chesterton, Ind., to meet Reinhart. “I've never seen her live before today, she was phenomenal.”

That MTV News story, "Haley Reinhart 'Lets Loose,' Raps At Lollapalooza," turns out to be a big deal. I just check the twitter feed and the top ten tweets or so were all retweets of it. Some of the tweeters had 10K or more followers.

MTV article mentioned "crowd in the hundreds", do we have a crowd estimate from anyone in the know?
