Haley Reinhart just happens to be my new obsession

Personally I don't get the big love for the twenty one pilots version

Consider the source.

January 2013:

...Because the band’s audience skews young (approximate range: chaperoned preteens to college dorm buddies), starting that late is less than ideal.

...Late start be damned, at 8:30, a horde of enthusiastic young folks comes flooding down the staircase and into the performance space. It feels like Beatlemania. Dozen after dozen, they pour into the room, teeming with youthful exuberance and fanatical devotion. Leading the charge is a pack of young women dressed in matching homemade T-shirts; they plant themselves front and center, not to be budged.

Any successful band has superfans, but Twenty One Pilots inspires the fiercest kind of zealotry.

So does ole' have a youtube channel or outlet? It is too bad that ole or, cough, Haley don't seem interested in putting the song on youtube. Multiple sites now have the 3 minute version of the song up, including a fakey Vevo site, and they are collecting views quickly.

CHFIL is now #41 on iTunes. On Amazon, it's #148 in paid songs and #63 in MPG downloads for pop songs.

Here's day 3 view numbers for CHFIL on the Love Matters Facebook page.

Thanks for the update IITWI. Even with the big dropoff it is still logging 78 views per second.

This has been such an exceptional, splashy, amazing introduction for Haley's new release. Fun but a real distraction.

I met the love of my life in high school as well and it was love at first sight, for me at least. He didn't pay much attention to me. We became friends and shared many good moments together. When we went to college, I started dating someone else. Seeing me with another guy made him realized he was in love with me too and confessed to me. He said he didn't know when or how it happened, but it did. We've been together for almost 9 years now and I've never told him I fell in love with him since that first day we met. Thanks for reading my story.

INQUISITR: Extra's Epic Romantic Gum Commercial Makes Grown Men Weep Like Little Girls [Video]

“Sarah & Juan” is set to the haunting music of Haley Reinhart’s rendition of Elvis Presley’s ballad “I Can’t Help Falling In Love,” and throughout all their experiences they share Extra Gum, because it’s important to have fresh breath, especially in those important moments.

I love Haley's version of CHFIL, it's such a soulful emotinal rendition of the song, and way better than the original, sorry Elvis. The commercial is pretty cool as well, the story perfectly fits the song, and Haley delivers in spades. This sure has been a great year for Haley, so much success and exposure, and we still have the EP and F is for Family to look forward too! I couldn't be happier for Haley, and I can't wait to see what's next.

[Miguel]

Hey, Yanni. Good to hear from you. I was hoping we would.

Wow. Never thought I'd hear another version of this song that I would like as much as Ingrid Michaelson's but here it is.

^ There are six posts on Ingrid's video saying the Extra Gum ad brought them there. One has 23 thumbs ups.

i stayed for the whole freaking ad this was better than what i was planning to watch in the first place
