Adam Lambert: “I don’t even think people are realizing the things that she’s doing vocally. I think it’s because she’s so effortless about it.” Chris Fischer "I had the honor of charting arrangements for Haley Reinhart during her stint on American Idol (in 2011) so it was so sweet to see her perform on my 'home stage' at Bethesda Blues & Jazz last night with a jazz orchestra... She has such a sultry voice but has the chops and theory to hang with the 13th #11 chords with ease, a feat lost on a lot of the naive newcomers... But best of all-- night out with my baby! Who, I might add, showered Haley with the technical and spiritual praise only another singer could understand, leaving her quite surprised and moved, lol." Melinda Doolittle: "This girl can just flat out sing. I was watching the show last night with some of my favorite singers and we were in awe of what her voice can do. She can go from a raspy tone to one that is as clear as a bell in a matter of seconds. She has the vocal flexibility of a singer twice her age. She is amazing." AI vocal coach after she sang Blue: "I think it’s really hard to do that with your voice, just to switch between that falsetto voice and your chest voice like that. That’s such a talent; not everybody can do that. For her to sing it so perfectly every time, I thought she was great... I just love her." Jackie Tohn: "Haley for me is one of the freshest girls I've seen on Idol ever...That girl is a ridiculous singer. I can't even put my brain...like, when you're a singer, you have to, like, go there in your head, like 'Can I go there, can I... oh I kind of know I can't do that.' She doesn't even have that. Like, she just goes anywhere she tries."

@@vidpie . . . . Aaaaaaand, this is supposed to prove what now? Stop fawning. If she can't sing the song, then she just can't sing the song. Get over your "idol" worship.

@@geneclemetson4779 Professional singers know she can not only sing, but is an exceptional singer.

@@vidpie You're a star struck dummy. I guarantee you never heard the original version by Screaming Jay, who only had half the voice of her. In your unbridled celebrity worship, you clearly lack the recognition of song interpretation.

@@geneclemetson4779 I have heard it. He was blackout drunk. He had to listen to the recording to know how to recreate it. She is not trying to mimic him.
