S10

[Tusk]

During Haley's Meet and Greet for her Whisky Streamed show, I asked Haley about any plans for a potential 10 year reunion among Season 10 Idols.  She said they actually had one recently when Casey came to stay at her house (Casey's currently living in AZ w/ his folks) and they had a mini-reunion w/ Stefano and Naima.

She said if they did have one, she'd like it to be in Nashville because that and LA are where the S10's primarily live.  and she said "ask Casey, he's organizing it"

So last night, on Instagram, Casey asked for Idol Questions so, of course I asked him if there are plans...?

PS.... I wonder if the Ellen cup is a hint?

American Idol Audition

It blows my mind that it’s been 10 YEARS since my first @americanidol audition aired (yesterday to be exact)! Come along way since that magical day... Everybody’s got to start somewhere and I’m grateful it was right here. If you know me - you know I’ve never been able to fit in a box and labeled as one thing, one genre, one profession... I thrive off of showing versatility and challenging myself daily to make my next big dream come true. Thank you guys for allowing me to be myself. I still have more colors in my palette that I can’t wait to show you... MASSIVE thank you to my ride or die #haliens (old and new) for being by my side and taking this wild ride with me... I wouldn’t be where I am today without you all.

Apparently several of Haley's friends and associates never knew about this part of her life

Madison Beer, a Hugely popular model (22 million followers) is apparently an OG Halien too....

Finally....  Michael Orland posted this:  "Can't wait to celebrate that too next week".... which I'm wondering might be a reference to the reunion Casey's apparently been organizing?

Seems to me that if the S10 group did want to get together, it should not be that hard to do it over Zoom.  It would have to be hosted by a platform so that others could attend and watch. Hope something happens.  Be great to see where everyone is after 10 years...

OTD Ten years ago, The Idol episode aired that showed who made the top 24 (Includes Vegas rounds)
Someone posted the full episode:

On this Date, ten years ago....

[Tusk]

On this date, ten years ago, Haley became a contender w/ her "Hardcore Bangage" performance of Bennie and the Jets

[Tusk]

Some may think Haley's Bennie and the Jets was her break out performance, but it was her "Rolling in the Deep" that she covered on this date, ten years ago, that literally had impact outside of the Idol Bubble as the performance was credited in returning Adele's RITD back to the number one position on the charts and taking number one for that week on iTunes sales

From April 2011 Charts article in Rolling Stones:

Winner of the Week:  Adele. In an era when the record business is severely handicapped from breaking new stars, with certain crucial exceptions such as Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, the British singer-songwriter has sold roughly 1.2 million copies of her album 21. Plus, she’s establishing a rare quality – staying power on the pop charts. She returns to Number One this week, selling 153,000 copies, after giving ground to the Foo Fighters last week. So far, she’s doing everything right, particularly building buzz with a concert tour by “underplaying” venues, such as the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, rather than abruptly jumping to summer amphitheatres that she probably is still too new to sell out.

Easter Weekend helped her sales, as did Haley Reinhart’s red-polka-dotted-dress version of her unstoppable single “Rolling in the Deep” on American Idol last week. (The single also hit Number One on iTunes’ weekly chart.) In addition to being pretty great, Adele fits snugly into the void Amy Winehouse left when she disappeared to do her drugs or what-not – tough, soulful singer with a killer, Motown-style, R&B band.

Happy Haley Reinhart Day, ten years ago today!
