This girl is trained by the one and only American Idol first winner herself, Kelly Clarkson. She can definitely win this too.

[@tanyap7226]

+ Ariana grande … what a flex

[@joycepino9749]

I hope not. She's yelling the song and has no emotion.

[@guinnmyahslaysstaymad]

@@joycepino9749the way you guys will call belting yelling is insane….try to yell like this and post it on KZbin pls I want to hear your version of "yelling" so we can compare

[@ryanciani3324]

no shes not

[@evierich3085]

I think that anyone who is trained shouldn't be allowed on the show. I feel like the show is meant to find people who have not had any time of day of anyone famous or trained to find true talent.

[@KA-eu9sy]

She's got guts. Singing a Katy Perry to Katy Perry. A very difficult song to sing well. And she sang it perfection.

[@msdiorALDC]

You have no idea. Did you see her on the voice!? ✨👑🔥

[@dunktheball]

@@msdiorALDC my fav of her on the voice was jar of hearts.

[@polerity]

I agree 🥰😍

[@cuntyvf]

Why she did it better than Katy perry herself .

[@marthalisk303]

She was only 13 when she was on Voice and she performed like a pro and fought hard in the competition. She's going to be one to watch in this competition.

[@msdiorALDC]

So how do you think 16 year old Hailey will blow us away ✨💫🌟

[@meganundlin1840]

She’s gonna win this one!

[@user-ft5sz3bq9j]

exactly

[@elevatedemotions4548]

Good info...💯

[@dunktheball]

She also got better and better and better all during that season. My fav.

[@ferrellkang4954]

And we thought her voice couldn’t get more mature. She’ll win this.

[@danigutierrezaznar3813]

I'm not sure though... I really like her and she reminds me of Beyonce!! Which is a lot to say! Top 10 surely as she already knows the hang of a tv contest show! But there was also Emmy Russell and the other girl who sang this same song. It's gonna be tough!!

[@thepoetthatwasi1722]

Love "Rise" Definitely Katy's most underrated song So beautiful

[@rosalynalvaro74]

Rise is so amazing song from Katy Perry......one of the best....❤

[@shyannekendra5589]

It should have won a grammy

[@estheralves9516]

It's one of my favorite songs of her, together with "Who am I living for". For me, both are two songs inspired by God and given to katy, to help others.. I feel that when I listen🥺

[@ThuggyMacho]

Her breath control is insane!!

[@singtorres6049]

She was incredible on the voice and I believe she's gonna go far in this season. That was a good song choice for her and she delivered

[@tommie77721]

Winner material for sure. She is so good, not doing the most which is so refreshing compared to others. She got even better during the liveshows at The Voice which is quite rare in singing competitions.

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

I completely forgot that she was on The Voice! Her voice is sensational and that was a phenomenal audition, love the song choice for her!

[@robertantonnyc]

beautiful tone. Love her flips into head voice, very smooth and present, great belt. Really resonant vocal. - So You Wanna Be A Singer

Nice to see we agree once again Robert. Actually its just good to see you!

She's an incredible artist. Haley Mia did a great job on The Voice and I can absolutely expect nothing but awesomeness from her in American Idol.

[@dariussookdar5981]

Her growth has been insane to see She will keep getting better So proud of her

[@jemhenry8199]

Omg I remember her from The Voice. She’s amazing ❤️❤️❤️

[@shawnthornton454]

She should have won the Voice when she was 14, felt she absolutely robbed, obviously others disagree.

[@singtorres6049]

Y'all say everyone was robbed. Wendy and GNT were incredible. Also Paris

[@kyjo8054]

GNT was peak that time tho.

[@shawnthornton454]

@@kyjo8054 They were overrated, and honestly duos, trios, etc shouldn't be allowed on the voice (personal preference, understand it's within the rules). Two of the three singles in GNT sucked.

[@HeroShades]

I wouldn't call her robbed. She's amazing for sure but Wendy and Girl Named Tom were right town. She was never going to win against them. They were amazing and both deserved to be top 2 as they were my top 2. Hailey made the finale and that was good enough and that was all that mattered no matter what place she got. And we also had Paris who has been a strong contestant as well and Jershika. That was a really strong finale and season. We all knew Girl Named Tom was winning and Wendy was taking second. Paris was always going to take third especially for being on Blake's team.

[@shawnthornton454]

@@singtorres6049 Wendy was a former billboard charting artist who should never have been allowed on the show, and GNT was average at best. Their performances were mind numbing by the end, with zero creativity. And groups in the voice (not the voices) shouldn't be allowed. She was the best individual singer that season.

[@amyahn231]

Loved her on The Voice and now she's even better! Hope she makes it far.

[@berealsupportive2744]

She's fantastic and I love Katy but admit I missed the song Rise. This cover by Hailey Mia made me immediately want to go on here and put this in my favorites playlist for Idol plus hear the original. She definitely needs to record a studio version of this song! ❤️

[@berealsupportive2744]

Oh wait I just seen that I did hear it. Cool ok it's just seven years ago most likely. I love her Prism and teenage dream deluxe albums the best so I usually know them songs the most. I gotta catch up on Katy. She's planning on new music after she does idol one last time. I'm excited to hear her new music but please go back to the best albums music wise. Pack it with a punch songs. Really come at us just like what you just said to that 17 year old dad country singer. The quiet songs being the whole album is bad. Only two should be slow or a ballad. The rest being great, catchy, bold dance rock songs. ❤️

[@sobhanamini3776]

Thats Exacly me

[@willfarmer3020]

She just might be the winner!!!

I hope so!

Why doesn’t this have more views???? This is by farrrrr the best audition I’ve seen so far this season

[@MrFloydSaunders]

3.8 million views at this point. Seems like she has a huge fan base/following. That will put into the top 10 for sure.

[@Catalystresource]

This was such an underrated masterpiece song of Katie's that she should have won an award for! And the video that goes with it is a phenomenal piece of art. But this version was stunning too!

[@Fay676]

One of the besttttt covers for this song!!!!! She killed ittttttttt❤

[@offclDEIBEU]

She is a full package. She gets even better from her journey in The Voice. I believed she could make it until the finale. Top 10 material, indeed.

[@beffis1980]

Absolutely beautiful! This girl has a voice that when it comes on the radio you’re gonna know it’s her! Like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Steven Tyler, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, when you hear them, you know! When I hear her again, I’m gonna know! bravo I love the soft parts in her voice the most

[@chachicho3002]

That’s funny because she trained under Kelly Clarkson for a while when she was on The Voice. I think Kelly honestly taught her a lot. When she joined her team, her vocals got even better. I wish the best for her ❤️❤️

[@ryxan2010]

Hailey Mia from The Voice USA - Season 21

[@jemhenry8199]

Yup. She’s gotten even better

[@jaelespinoza5062]

she's grown up and improved so much since, and she was already great back then!

We need a longer version of that from her 🔥

Hailey Mia is the cream of the crop. She nearly won that other singing show at 13. Her growth and artistry has gotten even better. There's no telling just how good she can be given the right songs. Amazing audition!

What's even better is that she was on the voice and Kelly Clarkson was her coach it would be amazing if she goes on to Win idol just like her the voice coach did

[@jacobmccain8794]

I thought she was a beast in the voice! She was my top 3 and potential winner! She gonna crush here just like Wé did! The fact that she was 13 eating then with such a stellar instrument, and she’s 3 years older even more incredible and still ONLY 16, is absolutely insane. Imaging when she is 20 or 21, I mean holy crap, she’s a beast, with the most humble personality!

[@LarryeWhite61]

Powerful yet smooth. Excellent job

[@jcantonio8104]

Nobody is talking about that amazing song. RISE is a masterpiece

[@prettypepsi8445]

I had absolutely no idea this audition happened. I’m here because I heard her on the voice and she sang “traitor” better than Olivia did. She was robbed of the finals just because it was a group and no group ever won I think? I’m 1000% watching this season now just because she’s on it! She’s amazing!!

[@jameslewison1815]

Outstanding performance! She sang that just as well as Katy Perry, especially on those high notes. Hoping she goes all the way to the win and I'll be voting when she gets to the live shows!
