She put forth a heckuva effort but I don't think it's a song that grabs a live audience if they're not familiar with it. Maybe if she had sung it in quieter fashion with less movement it would have sucked them in.
Let me preface what I am about to say. I love Haley, I will always follow her & I will ignore the haters. However, I was disappointed with this performance, mainly the performance part. Her vocals were spot on but the actual performance had too many bells & whistles for my taste. An understated delivery, IMO, would have been the bomb. She looked beautiful, I loved the dress but her hair seemed to overpower the song.
I guess the reason I am disappointed is because AI is such a huge platform....maybe I don't know what I'm talking about & she wowed America.






Please feel free to refute my observations.
Your observations are right. A lot of people are disappointed but I don't think it's Haley's doing. This is Hollywood this is live TV and this is America Idol. That's what they do they glitter and glam everything to the highest Hollywood is always done it and they always will. I really don't think she had much choice in what she wore, or the way her hair was done up, this is all a production thing. I don't think it's going to matter much people are in love Haley for who she. And at the end of the day she still Haley Reinhart the girl that we've been pulling for for over a year.
