I only just heard this PMJ version of Benny. 



I don't much care for it. I suppose that partly comes from envisioning the treatments Haley might be giving it as the song progressed. This song might have been a nice reprise for Haley with the added stylings of PMJ (though it would have been quite a bit different from this one I suspect).

A contestant on ABC American Idol has cited Haley among her top fave Idol alumni...

https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/...ws-top-10/

"Favorite Alums: Alejandro Aranda, Haley Reinhart, Laine Hardy, Laci Kaye Booth
Musical Influences: Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith
First Idol Experience: Started watching with Season 10 when she was six years old."

Casey's first season as mentioned above was season 10, and Haley currently follows Casey on Instagram.

Bishop has done famous "Haley inspired" covers on the show... House of the Rising Sun, and Black Hole Sun but as her own renditions. Not straight cover rip offs of Haley's famous versions. Casey also has covered "Can't Help Falling in Love" on her YouTube, and it's the one "Haley" cover where you can see Haley's influence on her style.

Casey may be heading towards the Top 3/finale as the youngest ABC AI contestant and could be our first female rocker to win since the genre busting Kelly Clarkson who at the time wasn't considered "rock."

I know this is a random thing to include on HaleyFans, but I figured this normally goes under the category of...

"Young artists who have been inspired by Haley..." Wasn't sure where to put this but since Casey is a future AI alumni I figured it fits here!

Haley has been tagged on this new song by Drew as well as Balam and Mitchell Hauser (He produced “Some Way Some How”), so I’m guessing Haley contributed to background vocals, although if she did, I couldn’t tell as the BG vocals are multiple voices.  I could tell there’s a female voice, but to me it didn’t distinctly sound like Haley that I’d recognize it immediately 

Edit: Haley posted this in her story and also mentions that she sings back up in it

Earlier today, Haley posted in her story about the passing of another friend, Mike Shapiro, who was drummer for Haley at her last Troubadour show as well as for her Ribfest performance:

Making his passing more tragic, Mike had just married in May:

This following the passing of another of Haley's friends, Scott Medlock, a couple days ago, who along w/ Robby Krieger started the St Jude foundation for children w/ Cancer, the charity event Haley had played w/ Robby the last few years.  

This article was written about Scott, his life, accomplishments and charity work a few weeks before his passing

Sports artist, battling cancer himself, is still going to bat for kids at St. Jude’s Hospital

Haley has also lost two (three?) aunts & an Uncle in the past year, also family friend and OG Halien, Penny, so you know what she's referring to when she's lost "so many people this year, it's unreal"  

If you've been following Haley along in her Instagram stories, she sometimes would make a post of introspection... I think these passings have weighed heavily on her
