@Pat5533 @HaleyReinhart I play at least one song off Listen Up! every time I'm at our local pub. (And her songs cost 2 credits instead of 1)

I've noticed the 'furor' at TV Line has mostly died down whenever Michael and Jason would make intermittent Haley references...

Used to be if Slezak made the slightest reference to Haley, like clockwork, there would be someone howling at Michael to 'get over it' or 'she wasn't that great'

Persistence, Michael, Persistence

TVLine and Idoloonies were a pretty significant Halien nurturing ground for many here at HF..... Michael and Jason are practically Patron Saints for Halien Nation

(After all, weren't they the ones that gave Haley The Slayer status?)

Oh sorry, I didn't know about the contestant who sang IWHN. I live in Brazil and AI is 2 weeks late!
Anyway, that's great! Was Haley mentioned last night?

Not on AI. They referred to Jordin Sparks' version. The theme was songs covered by AI Winners, so that didn't apply to Haley...

Although Slezak gave her props Twice @ TVLine

The doors have already sprung open…and the ladies have hit the ground runnin’ (yep, that’s a Haley Reinhart reference) (click here if you don’t get it) (you can thank me later) (holla!).

Better still, though, Candice infused her rendition with enough pulsing percussion and modern R&B riffs to separate it from previous/legendary Idol versions by Jordin Sparks and Haley Reinhart — and that’s no easy task.

acho que eu já vi a performance da Haley Reinhart de I Who Have Nothing tantas vezes que meio que até já decorei os gestos.

"I think I've seen the performance of Haley Reinhart I Who Have Nothing so often that means that by now memorized gestures."

Look at iTunes Pop Chart:

118. Haley Reinhart - I Who Have Nothing (American Idol Performance)
1280. Haley Reinhart - Undone (Undone has been on chart since months ago)
1446. Haley Reinhart - Free

Maybe the Singapore reporter has something to do with this?

A contestant on Idol performed "I Who Have Nothing" last night.
Some considered it the best performance of the night.

This is why I really really hope someone like Candice or Angie (or Kree, or Amber) does one of Haley's actual songs. They'll do it well, and Haley will get a lot of free promo off of it.

I really really think Haley's rendition of Rolling In the Deep, helped out Adele. She was falling the itunes charts, Haley sang it..and the song basically stayed at #1 for months.

If one of the more popular contestants were to sing "Oh My" ....I think it would help a lot. (Not to say it would do as well as Rolling in the Deep...but a lot of people watch Idol. )

I can see an Idol contestant singing "Undone" well. But I have a hard time imagining any of them being able to pull off "Oh My!"

I keep bringing this one up but I think "what you don't know, won't hurt you" is a song that different singers can do without trying to be Haley (which is impossible)

It would be up beat yet be a song a big voice could show a hell of a lot of range and power with.

Amber or Candace could do this justice.. don't you think ?
