"OOPS...I DID IT AGAIN!" with PMJ

I think the Marilyn Monroe reference is pulling in people searching her name. It also has to be one of the more recent references to Britney Spears.

Remember the Backstreet Boys song exploded initially as well. Very nostalgic.

I saw Ryan Seacrest linked to the video, are there any other sources? (Could have very easily gotten to the Britney fans by now...)

If you look at Haley's full bar chart on her iTune sales "Oops" already has sold as much as "LoveFool" & "Habits."

That's very interesting. I suppose the numbers are explained in part by it being a better known song. I also feel like PMJ has promoted it more on social media. Maybe Scott's feeling energized after completing the tour?

From Ponta Delgada, Azores (Portugal):

Haley does it again... Perfect pitch! Simple phenomenal

I believe he's a musician. On June 2nd, he re-posted this:

"Musicians are some of the most driven, courageous people on the face of the earth. They deal with more day-to-day rejection in one year than most people do in a lifetime. Every day, they face the financial challenge of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people who think they should get real jobs, and their own fear that they'll never work again. Every day, they have to ignore the possibility that the vision they have dedicated their lives to is a pipe dream. With every note, they stretch themselves, emotionally and physically, risking criticism and judgment. With every passing year, many of them watch as the other people their age achieve the predictable milestones of normal life - the car, the family, the house, the nest egg. Why? Because musicians are willing to give their entire lives to a moment - to that melody, that lyric, that chord, or that interpretation that will stir the audience's soul. Musicians are beings who have tasted life's nectar in that crystal moment when they poured out their creative spirit and touched another's heart. In that instant, they were as close to magic, God, and perfection as anyone could ever be. And in their own hearts, they know that to dedicate oneself to that moment is worth a thousand lifetimes." -David Ackert, LA Times.

Between my appreciation of talented musicians, my respect for mimicking vintage styles, and my guilty pleasure of catchy pop songs, I have to tell you that I find this video pretty freakin' cool.

I love Haley Reinhart's style!

Oops Haley really did it again on this one, she brought out the Good Or The Bad in the remark section, amusing to say the least. It's not Marilyn, she mumbles, why is her skin so red & her face so white, her hands are too animated when she sings, why the white gloves, she's alive & breathing...blah, blah, blah.

LOL.

This video is heading to an amazing number of views in it 1st day. Currently count is 242,417.

I feel she has potential but this is not her cup of tea. I bet she'll sound fantastic attempting a whole different genre.

Growly, over the top and I loved it!

Gosh, I just wish people weren't so blase and and indifferent to this new creation from Haley and PMJ.

People who can't understand Haley just need to listen to the song a few more times. That'll do it. Even as a long-time fan, I admit I don't always get it on the first listen. Sometimes it takes the 4th or 5th listen before I realize that she "didit agin".

One of the things I like here is how many words there are in this song that she plays with, putting little things on them and into them, building them into their whole own microcosms for the ears, none of them predictable. Just fantastic!

Quarter of a million view in 24 hours ... amazing all the way! I'm just really thankful that it was possible.

At first I thought the criticism was petty and ridiculous... now I realize (like others) that it is very helpful so - thank you very much! "Did you hear that crazy new Britney cover? ".
Her interpretation may or may not be your preference, but the talent is undeniable... IMHO

Haley Reinhart from Postmodern Jukebox sings one of pop music’s most iconic songs with inspiration from one of pop culture’s most iconic figures. The result? An iconic cover of Britney Spears’ “Oops!… I Did It Again.” The American Idol alum’s version is a beautiful re-working of the song complete with white gloves, Brit’s breathy vocal-style and her demure not that innocent mannerisms Brit made famous 15 years ago.

wow, this girl is amazing! From reading the comments I see she's from the Idol show, I don't watch tv but must say this is a great find!
