If you ever watched "American Idol," you may remember alum Haley Reinhart, who came in third place on season 10 of American Idol.
If not, here's a reminder of how great she is and how she totally should have beat Scotty McCreery:
1. Bennie and The Jets
Nothing will ever be more iconic than Haley sitting on that red piano.
2. The House of the Rising Sun
This performance might be my favorite American Idol performance of all time. I get chills every single time I watch it!
3. I Who Have Nothing
It is so clear that Haley puts her heart and soul into this performance!
After American Idol, Haley released her debut album, Listen Up!, but she did not begin to get any recognition until her cover of Can't Help Falling In Love was in an Extra Gum commercial. Remember this?
She has also been featured in many Postmodern Jukebox covers, such as this one, which has over 30 million views on YouTube.
Despite getting recognition with PMJ and Extra Gum, Haley's second album, Better, did not get as much recognition as it deserves. She is such a talented individual, and deserves way more time in the spotlight.
Haley's third album, What's That Sound, full of many covers from the 1960s and 1970s, comes out on Friday, September 22nd! Here is the music video for the first single, "Baby It's You," which is out on all platforms now!
If you've liked what you've heard, please help give Haley Reinhart the recognition she deserves by checking out her first two albums, and buying/streaming her third album when it is released!
