Haley Reinhart Songs - American Idol Season 10
< Continued from page 1
If American Idol gave extra points for most improved contestants, Haley Reinhart would never again appear in the bottom three. Her Top 6 performance of Carole King's "Beautiful" showed that her sound is powerful AND commercially viable. "Beautiful" was an album cut from Carole King's 1971 masterpiece Tapestry, and has been covered by artists like Richard Marx and Barbra Streisand.

Haley Reinhart received the most confusing and frustrating feedback of American Idol season 10 from all three judges for selecting an unreleased song to sing on Top 5 week. In fact, the unreleased song was an advance track from Lady Gaga's highly-anticipated third CD, but both Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson only critiqued her song choice instead of mentioning how strong her vocals were or what a great job she did with a more contemporary song. "You and I" is a Robert John "Mutt" Lange-produced track from Lady Gaga's third CD Born This Way, which was scheduled to be released three weeks after Haley Reinhart sang the song on May 24, 2011.

The highlight of Top 5 week of American Idol season 10, and possibly of the entire season, was the powerful performance of "House of the Rising Sun" by Haley Reinhart. From the first notes of the song where Haley sang a capella to the powerful close with the full band, Haley went from contender to front runner within two minutes, further confusing those trying to pick a winner for season 10. "House of the Rising Sun" started off as a folk song dating back to the 18th Century, but found modern-day success when the Animals recorded a rock version of the song and took it to number one on the pop charts in the US and the UK in 1964.

It is impossible to watch a show like American Idol and remain 100% impartial, and that is the way that reality TV producers attempt to build loyalty that keeps viewers coming back every week. Haley Reinhart's loyalty was put to the test on Top 4 week, as fans were buzzing over judges Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson's critique of her cover of "Earth Song." While Randy Jackson said that Haley Reinhart screamed the end of the song and Jennifer Lopez only talked about song choice, Haley's fans heard an impressive rendition. "Earth Song" was only a minor success for Michael Jackson in the United States, but it was a massive hit elsewhere, racking up number one rankings in 14 countries at the end of 1995.

What happens when you combine an American Idol underdog, Lady Gaga, and a classic Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller classic? If it's season 10's Top 4 week, you have Haley Reinhart giving a passionate and animated version of "I (Who Have Nothing)." Lady Gaga's suggestion that Haley Reinhart give the song a psycho edge injected drama and caused the judges and audience to give her a standing ovation. Originally recorded by Ben E. King in 1963, "I (Who Have Nothing)" has been recorded by musical heavyweights including Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, Shirley Bassey and Luther Vandross with Martha Wash. American Idol fans will recognize the song as the highlight of Jordin Sparks's run to winning season six.

Haley Reinhart had yet another great moment in American Idol season 10 singing Led Zeppelin as her first song of Top 3 week. Even though Haley Reinhart fell down during the performance, she got back up and had the audience under her spell. Haley Reinhart's spill led judge Steven Tyler to say "it's not about how many times you fall, it's about how many times you get up," a quote which summed up Haley's run to the Top 3. "What Is and What Should Never Be" appeared on Led Zeppelin's second album, appropriately titled II. Even though "What Is and What Should Never Be" was not released as a single at the time, it has gone on to become one of Led Zeppelin's most revered songs.

Jimmy Iovine went three-for-three with his song choices for the Top 3 contestants of American Idol season 10. His selection of "Rhiannon" for Haley Reinhart was inspired, and Haley came through with a subdued, refined moment. When "Rhiannon" was released by Fleetwood Mac as a single in 1976 from their self-titled album, it was a big success, reaching number 11 on the Pop chart. However, that success came with a price, as many listeners associated the song and its writer Stevie Nicks with witchcraft.

Wrapping up the show and the judges choice songs was Haley Reinhart, who turned in a decidedly mixed version of Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know." All three judges cited the choruses as a highlight, but Haley Reinhart's delivery on the verses was a bit flat. Surprisingly, "You Oughta Know" never reached the Billboard Hot 100 in its initial 1995 release because Maverick/Warner Brothers Records never released a single for the song, rendering the song ineligible to chart but catapulting the album Jagged Little Pill to multiplatinum status. It was not until the next year when "You Oughta Know" was included as the flip side of "You Learn" that the song finally appeared on the Hot 100, reaching number six.
