Haley appearing on Idol - Feb 18 2016

[Miguel]

Tonight, they twice showed JLo giving Haley artistic recognition and seemingly looking her way as she left the stage. But they didn't show Haley looking back. It made me wonder if Haley gave JLo the cold shoulder.

It is totally possible that JLO really did think Haley was the best singer, and she was just doing what Nigel asked her to do.

But her seasonal attack on the talented hot girl makes me a little suspicious.

I personally feel like with Jlo it really was the producers...randy on the other hand...

MJ's recap:

Kory Wheeler & Haley Reinhart – Benny and the Jets by Elton John – Kory auditioned with the song, and he says he would have picked her if he had the choice. Lose yourself in the loungey state in the beginning and build from there advises Haley. Both singers covered this song and brought different interpretations. The trick is bringing the two together and it mostly works, although I kept waiting for Haley to let loose. But she was being a good duet partner and holding back a bit. Kory does a solid job next to Haley. Keith says it was SOOOOO good. He notes Haley’s swagger. A good matchup he says. Jlo says they thought she was going to win. Hm. A nice pairing, she says. Harry calls it two for two so far. He has nothing negative to say. Haley knows how to sing in the pocket, she grounded Kory.

Adam Lasher & Haley Reinhart – Can’t Help Falling in Love – Adam is falling in love with Haley a little as they rehearse. Well. Haley outclassed him vocally in every single way, but he brought a vulnerability that was sweet and believable. He seemed a little intimidated by her. Jlo felt it was very strong. Harry thought it was lovely, but he didn’t need to sing so on the beat, he could have taken some risks. Keith kept waiting for him to loosen up and give in. I liked the performance more than Keith did, but he makes a good point.

You hear how loud they got for Haley? U know JLO is the only one that doesn't care for her too much

It's weird to think of how much Haley Reinhart has influenced song choices on the Voice and Idol after her run.

Keith is groovin' to Benny & the Jets.

Another great duet! Haley hasn't lost one ounce of her cool.

JLo: "THE FORBIDDEN ONE HAS RETURNED! THINK! WHAT WOULD RANDY SAY!?"

"the great michael jackson"

J.Lo to Haley: "I thought I killed you last time."

"It's a three way tie between Scotty, Lauren and James"

Shut up JLo - don't think we forgot about you and your hate.

JLO is a bad cop in her new show yawll shes good at lying now

JLo: "As I watched you up there, I remembered that I wished I pushed you further under that bus".

Harry -"I have nothing negative to say"
JLO *twitches uncontrollably*

I voted for her over 300 times on the Top 3 night! With an actual phone! Those were the days.

If you hit redial fast and didn't get a lot of busy signals, a pace of 350 votes in a two-hour period was do-able. I've done it. Reinhart's one I did it for.

Morgan messaged me to ask how Haley did on Idol? (She's at the symphony)
