^^Thanks for the detailed account Tusk. I'm delighted that the day was such a thrill. Can't wait for the video and keeping my fingers crossed that it will come out sounding good. I gotta hear Haley rapping.

Haley Reinhart 'Lets Loose,' Raps At Lollapalooza
'I'm feeling so honored to be a part of it,' Reinhart tells MTV News of being the first 'American Idol' contestant to perform at the fest.
By Christina Garibaldi (@ChristinaMTV)

CHICAGO — Former "American Idol" contestant Haley Reinhart made history among "Idol" contestants on Friday (August 3), becoming the first to perform at Chicago's famed Lollapalooza festival.

"It's pretty rad, I can't believe it. It's so rewarding," Reinhart told MTV News following her performance. "I'm feeling so honored to be a part of it."

[video=youtube]www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyHpZLoBfkE[/video]

Reinhart was among the first acts to perform on opening day of the festival, wowing hundreds of fans with songs from her debut album, Listen Up!, which was released in May. Yet, it was the people that joined Reinhart onstage that made the experience all the more memorable.

"Not only did I have an amazing band that I've barely played with behind me, but my mom and sister doing backup vocals, my dad on guitar, just such an incredible feeling," she said.

Reinhart, who hails from Wheeling, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, explained that this was her first time at Lollapalooza but was not bothered by nerves playing in front of her hometown crowd.

"I think I was more nervous every day leading up to this point and I got here and it kind of all went away. I let loose," Reinhart said. "I've had a little bit of experience with that and the big crowds and live performing like this is what I really love. It's my passion. I let loose and had a ball with it."

The Lolla crowd also heard something new from the former "Idol" star: she busted out her rap skills. B.o.B, who is featured on "Oh My!" from her album, wasn't able to hit the stage, so Reinhart took it upon herself to rap his part.

"I was just like, 'Oh, I think I got it.' I did it a couple of times. I listened to it enough that I knew it, and my adrenaline was skyrocketing," Reinhart said. "So it came kind of naturally."

Next up for Reinhart: She is hitting the road in the fall and is hoping to release "Oh My!" as the second single off her album. If she gets her wish, the singer already has the perfect idea for the video.

"I'm already jotting down ideas for that video. I've been doing it since Day One so I'm really excited to film that one," Reinhart said. "I want it to be really really kind of New Orleans authentic vibing crazy cool party club. Something crazy cool."

^ Great story Tusk...all Haliens salute you for your determination to get the best videos possible. Were you on sensory overload? You were being slayed and trying to film at the same time...it was probably all a blur. You were Haleyenized!

Looking forward to the vids. How big was the crowd?

What's up with the Hard Rock Hotel gig...do we have Haliens filming that too?

Close with distorted sound.

Tusk-

So I recorded a bit of the Ambassadors' performance (They were actually pretty good IMO and I will probably get their album). I left the area to a quieter place and played it back to see how 'bad' the audio would be. I recorded a 'quiet' song, more acoustic, because Himm2 guessed that Haley's set won't be blasting like this was. As I suspected....way too loud and distorted.

Hopefully your sound check and pull back will pay off. I'm betting that historic footage is coming. A great day for Hales and Haliens alike.

It's distorted, but the end is worth watching as she concludes the show and walks off.

Done... Just watched it.... I guess I made more noise than I remembered during it LOL. This'll be the first one I try to get out before I leave Chicago. I dodged one.... My 16 gb memory for the camera was almost maxed out..... Looking at the video...I expected better for how big the size is. It was set on auto focus, so that might explain it, I zoomed alot so the alternative, manual manipulation, might have been worse. Because I had to zoom to avoid the trees (exaggerating movements) and people passing in front, it's not as steady as my LA vids. I ended up loving my LA vids despite the resolution too, this was better in day light, but not as sharp as I hoped.

The sound is not distorted..but I might have been too far and to the side to get the best sound...still good though
