Haley Reinhart versus The World

[Tusk]

Wild Horses (I replaced yours with the HD F8 version)

For this one, I simply prefer Haley's more gentle approach. But I actually love the way both girls sing it. I love Bria's voice...but she's got a goat vibrato, uses a lot of "tricks" pronounces words funny, has unique tone and has some occasional pitch problems. But after seeing her "steamroller blues" she's a singer I'll always keep track of, so long as she pursues music. She happens to be the one vocalist from one of these shows that Slezak and I disagree on.

Steamroller Blues

I wish Haley had taken more of the vocals on this, but her role in it is really cool. Bria just kills it, IMO. (I think it's the best Voice audition of all time.) If Bria ever "makes it" as an artist, much like HOTRS for Haley, this will be her song. But I'd like to combine Haley's part with Bria's and have a nice recording of that...

Piece of My Heart

I prefer Haley's version of the song. I like her note choices. But I like both versions.

Just like when I heard Haley, I thought she might have one of the best voices I've ever heard, I thought Bria had one of the coolest voices I've ever had..but of course, I like the distinctive out of the box voices, so she may not be everyone's cup of tea. She probably would have rivaled Jacquie in my third favorite reality tv singer snowflake ranking if she had been ready to be on the show. (Just too young and too undeveloped.)

Thanks Tusk.

Totally unrelated, but Haley's outfit and hair in Wild Horses is one of my favorite looks from her.

The musicians add a lot.

I like the music, but I prefer the way Haley sings it. By a lot.


I always loved this cover, and I don't even know which one I prefer between Haley's and Glee's. (That's a lie. I prefer Haley's.)



Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga are creating an album together (so I'm sure they'll hit a song that Haley has done eventually..) but for now..here's Nature Boy. I have a special place in my heart for both of them for how they treated Haley.

The guitar player for Diana Krall in the video is Anthony Wilson, one of the musicians who played on Haley and Casey’s studio version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and tweeted about the recording early on.

Interesting catch ISCAT4HALEY. Haley sings the song a lot better than Diana IMO, but I love the music on the video.

In recognition of Haley's pending trip to Ireland I'll offer up this one

Haley vs Ann Wilson covering Led Zeppelin





vs. Lez Zeppelin (Sarah McLellan - vocals)

Both Hanson's and Haley's cover of "Oh Darling" are outstanding. IMO. I was always impressed that he could sing so well while beating on the drums. And this song just fits Haley so well.

I think she hung out w/ Hanson at Paul McDonald's Birthday party

[mercfan3]

That's cool. From what I understand they are pretty well respected in the musi industry so any new musical connection is a good one. Paul went on tour with Hanson and both him and nicki reed are very good friends with
Them, so it's not too surprising. Hanson was my first favorite band when I was quite young. They are very influenced musically by classic rock, Motown r&b and soul..evidently I'm still quite drawn to that combination.
