DWTS - Nick Carter & Sharna Burgess – ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ by Haley Reinhart

However, as to the piano player - he is Ray Chew, who was musical director on Idol during Haley and Casey's season (10). I believe he's helped several ex-Idols over the years. After Idol he was Jay Leno's music director, and, for example, I believe he was responsible for bringing Allison Iraheta over to do some fill in spots singing with the Tonight Show Band.

Whoops, my error. I got my ex-Idol band leaders mixed up. It was Rickey Minor who went on to lead the Tonight Show Band for Jay Leno.

But when I viewed the show here on the west coast and saw that the singer and piano player were the only musical accompaniment of the night to be seen and acknowledged, and that Haley's arrangement, which was almost exactly duplicated, wasn't mentioned on air although it was acknowledged previously in print, I was really pissed.

Refused to watch last night, but reading this I'm even more upset. Glad I didn't because I might have been tempted the throw something at my TV, a la Idol days. This is far worse IMO than the Voice "Creep" incident. I can't imagine Ole believing it's an okay business practice to not give Haley some sort of credit, since this is an officially released single on iTunes. Really thinking that there was a conflict between Ole and DWTS over terms, and DWTS said "F" you-- and Haley was caught in the middle. Hence the VERY strange "miscommunication".

NO fellow Haliens, it wasn't about the money, terms or changing their mind about Haley. It was about timing and a bogus breakdown in communication and lack of DWTS's followup.

A) She was not on the show for whatever reason
B) She got an up tick in sales from the mention of DWTS
C) Most of us don't know anything about DWTS

Thanks, Himm. Now I'm just sad.

Maybe I'm the only Halien who regularly watches DWTS, but last night 12,500,000 people watched the show.

I watch semi-regularly. Love the dance, hate the celebrities.

I think, given the background staging of the singer and the piano, that this would not have been much of a career boost for Haley. If you haven't seen or been moved by the Extra commercial, this was just another Elvis cover. Even then, the storyline was "Nick Carter's Perfect Dance Honors His Wife and Baby Boy" (yawn). Is Felicia Barton trending on Twitter this week?

Mark leveraging his cred to get some airtime for BC Jean, like he reportedly did for Haley....

For Mon. on #DWTS, @BindiIrwin & @derekhough will dance to "Roses and Violets" by @_alexanderjean_

One has to wonder if BC will be singing it live for them to dance to, or will they go to their 'house' vocalist, like they did for Haley?
