RE: "CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE" for Extra Gum

I grew up in a house with a mother who loved Elvis, so I always appreciated his songs, I just saw the long format TV spot for Extra Gum, that featured a young WI girl singing one of my Elvis fav's, gotta say, the TV spot is one of the best I've seen production/story wise, and she kills it vocally, it is worth the listen/view if you haven't seen the full spot/music video. What a voice!
^ Confused because Haley's audition was in Milwaukee.

...Haley Reinhart, who placed third on American Idol in 2011, recorded a cover of this song for a commercial for Wrigley's Extra gum. The spot shows a couple (Sarah and Juan) who meet when they are still in school. As they grow older, she is constantly sharing her gum with him, and their love grows. The spot ends with Sarah discovering that Juan has saved some of the wrappers and drawn pictures on them. After she sees his wrapper art, she turns around and finds him proposing to her.
The ad agency, BBDO, had a range of artists record the song, looking for just the right feel. Reinhart's version was the winner, capturing the sentimental but contemporary sound that worked with the story. The song and commercial were released around the same time, and they both went viral, garnering millions of views on YouTube and Facebook.
