Haley Reinhart & Casey Abrams sing the blues

Haley & Casey at Room 5 Lounge in LA. Don't know the name of this song but Haley does this cool thing where she scats in a trumpet voice. Incredible performance.

She is truly one of the most unique, dynamic and talented singers of this era. Amazing performance!!

[@realfinnatic]

mkzzzzzz Casey is a talented musician and performer as well. However, he is not versatile, unique and amazing as a vocalist. His forte is jazz, in the main, while Haley's forte is Jazz and everything else. You reckon Casey can do what Haley did here? When commenting on HALEY's performance of Rhiannon, one "moondoggy02116" said it just right: "ST was really the only one who came close to seeing the magic of this performance. Very few performances have stayed with me for longer than a few days, but this one was unforgettable, and restraint was part of the beauty. We didn't need another "Haley growl." That's why Casey Abrams (who was one of the most talented EVER to grace that show) got sent home -- restraint was the one skill he never learned." The big difference of Haley from most others, is her “musicality” gene. It is a vital part of her being able to communicate what is there in the music and lyrics to others. This goes along with her being emotional or very expressive or very sensitive, with the ability to be demonstrative, or dramatic, or vivid. Perhaps it has to do with a keen sense of imagination or the ability to visualize music in connection with other senses and her unique vocals. From a vocal and musicality viewpoint, nobody is as good all round; she can sing ANY GENRE well, has incredible vocal range and control, with many unique inflections and the ability to transition from light ethereal tonal qualities to raw growly rock or killer jazz. All cleverly done with inflections, subtle pantomimes, and poignant push with her unique vocals - and investing it with her own oomph and panache: scat, yodel, growl, whistle, do riffs and runs. Haley gives us goosebumps because she is able to put the emotion in every single note and sings the lyrics like she lived them. Her eye-candy good looks, musical talents, unique voice, and live performance panache makes her the best on Idol ever and is truly one of the most unique, dynamic and talented singers of this era.

realfinnatic well said Amigo! 😉

[@sugoruyo]

+realfinnatic If there's something in this woman's genes it's definitely music. It's unimaginable she wouldn't end up singing.

[@Synystr7]

You're missing 55% of the performance. Shame on you.

NO, I did not miss 55% of the performance - it is the 45% that makes this an amazing performance, period!

[@mrdiehlio1]

Haley needs to do a straight blues album.

[@jioje7]

"I'm gon inject your soul with some sweet rock and roll..." Casey Abrams.... GOLD!!!

[@ikilledrogerrabbit1479]

Shout out to the pianist. He's not getting the love he deserves here

[@BONGUSTHEDOG]

The name of this song is Steamroller Blues, written by James Taylor

[@davidettinger6246]

Right on! I wonder why JT wasn't credited. Although the tune may have more historic roots, too.

[@batthatter3491]

Indeed! He wrote it to mock the artists of the time acting like they were super hardcore blues artists. Song still hits though. It's a bad ass track regardless of it's intention.

[@LouCataldo]

That harmonica/trumpet thing tho... how does she do it? How??? So much talent in one video.

[@slifek85]

It's funny though the harmonica was used to imitate a sad crying voice.Not often do you see it the other way around. :)

[@queenvrook]

The astonishing thing, to me, is that, although she is a vocalist, she has a remarkable understanding and command of the ways that different instruments trace lines within a chord pattern. In the same way that it's hard to find a pianist who actually keeps solid tempo, it's hard for a singer to get the way instruments follow a chord progression. This. Is the greatest. Singer. Of my lifetime.

[@kevingibson6660]

She’s just crassszy good!

[@kevingibson6660]

@@queenvrook her parents are outstanding and taught her well!

[@zezzenetalley5520]

Guys, any times I watch you I need to cry of happiness! You are talented like hell. Not only what is inside your throat but what is inside your brain and soul shines through! God bless you two! Respect!

[@jzzgrl3]

I think we can all agree Haley has undeniable natural talent. She can do it all: sing, scat, charm...

[@spacecowboy5245]

Man...she does that so good! Girl is very talented. Casey does jazz and the blues damn good, and what can you say about Haley, she does it all, from the hand trumpet on this song to exquisite whistling on "Dock of the Bay." And she can sing any genre. Though, I still haven't heard do opera yet. So almost any genre.

[@tamlynn786]

Where did these young old souls learn to sing blues like this?! Wow just wow!! 🤩

[@fleursterre]

It's the Steamroller Blues, original James Taylor. Lovin' Haleys solo!

[@SamanthaNiemi]

True, the original was actually Elvis though, although, James Taylor does it great too.

[@BrianLarin]

I am always astounded by her talent

[@aimeeloz]

Eargasm. They have to stop being so yummi

[@barigyorgy7466]

Still lovin Haley's face when she realize that's her time to play the trumpet after Casey has injected her soul with some sweet rocknroll.. :D :D This video will always be on my list.

[@slifek85]

(Me before the song): I expect a harmonica to be played (Me after the song): Close enough. :]

[@honnagotegirl]

Yeeeesssss!! This is why I love them so much and I KZbin them all the time! Casey really helps Haley's talent to bloom. They really should stick to duo performance. They sound amazing together!!!!

[@CruellaVonS]

luv haley and casey !! extremely talented!!

[@bakuslash52]

I have been listening to blues since I was nine years old. And I am absolutely speechless at this. I feel like I'm watching tee bone walker!

[@markeytube8581]

That was sick Haley, Casey. I loved it!

[@DexterHaven]

Our recession since 2008 has made the blues relevant again... Just like in the '30s.

[@DaGavinX]

The growl... beautiful.

[@fahshoww]

OH MY FUCK WHY WASNT I HERE!?!?!?!? Sounds like the best fuckin time ever. I loved all of this,

[@boocovsky]

Very talented crew... And Haley... she's so lovely. ;P

[@mlando26]

wonderful Haley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SaiLuminos]

So much fun! Love these two together!!!!

[@vcharrison63]

Great performance. Haley is just an an awesome talent.

[@picturesque1835]

THIS GIVES ME SO MUCH LIFE

[@gregshier8067]

Truly amazing! She is beyond Amazing!

Did NOT expect that from Haley AT ALL ... WOW!

[@Bluzrooster]

Excellent!!!!!!!!

[@dozergyp]

A amazing performance Love Hayley

[@cerealaugher]

that was just AWESOME!!!

[@JohnnyBoyBlues]

Holy shit! (sorry for the lenguage, I couldn't say anything else about this video) Casey is a monster singing, and just when I thought it wouldn't get any better, this girl kicks in imitating an harmonica that PERFECT?! Oh My god, you guys are godlike! Hard to see good stuff like that, makes my really happy!

[@haleyfansmiguel4392]

The first time the world saw Haley and Casey perform together (they met on the show): watch?v=UURTLsneDgE

[@jegnur]

Trumpet.

[@prettylilpothead]

OHMYBEJESUS! Got my soul! my guts! They are amazing together!

[@redddbaron]

OMG! That was awesome!

[@joycepino9749]

I like the blues music more than their other stuff.

[@jacquelinemartell7565]

Haley is very talented. That was a cool thing. I've never seen anything like it, its like a handmonica

[@meadelsg]

can Haley an Casey PLEASE make an album together!

[@james-jg8iu]

Im thinking a tour ❤

[@davidettinger6246]

I think she is scatting in a faux Harmonica voice, although trumpet would also be logical, too. Either way, I love the way these two kids make music.

[@AW-ec4mk]

Haley and her "harmonica". How did that happen? Are there any talents that you have not shown the world yet?

i had never seen such an metalless harmonica.... awesome!

[@fchyrhtnhgjmyt5]

Really wish these two were invited to perform at one of the PBS 'in the White House' concerts

[@glm-p3]

You guys are kickin' it!

[@Yaelav319]

Perfect duo 💜

[@JimmerJamesKM]

FANTASTIC Again!! 💖

[@mkahn81]

Haley knows how to use her hands & mouth. They should do "Why don't you do right?"

She is just having fun but, what fantastic fun.

[@elijah27b]

If I were to represent Haley Reinhart in a court of law, arguing why I believe she is extremely talented, creative, and cute, this video would be my closing argument. CASE CLOSED!

[@LucasBarbosa1903]

+elijah27b thats some very weird, and oddly specific hypothetical scenario that you just imagined there sir lol

[@Randomlumberjack]

+Lucas Barbosa was thinking that

[@elijah27b]

Lucas Barbosa Haha yes Lucas, indeed that was weird of me! I'm an imaginative person, I suppose. Me likes creative writing :) You should, too! It's good times. Well, I hope you're having a wonderful evening. Take good care!

[@elijah27b]

Randomlumberjack Your "moving imagine" on your avatar was funny at first, but then I looked closer and man it really freaked me out! What's going on there? I'm going to bed soon and now I'm scared. Just kidding, I'm not scared! Just kidding I'm a little scared. Just kidding I'm not. Just kidding I am. Just kidding.

Jair Fuentes - "Steamroller" I think by James Taylor.

Awesome! Both performers just great, but yeah, Haley is just ridiculous.

[@virgilschmidt1599]

I just can't stop watching their videos. Do these guys have a record out? I think they've got some jams on iTunes.

Jenn Bress Yep. Steamroller. From James Taylor's Sweet Baby James album.

[@coorkie]

this is steamroller!

[@michelmorino9640]

You are just wonderful , big big talent ....like it

[@andyharless4803]

I was impressed that Gunhild Carling could play so many instruments, but she does need to have the instruments in order to play them. Apparently Haley can do it without even having the instruments.

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

JT would be proud

[@me8060]

rockin a batman t-shirt

[@croescarlino]

Whaaw above being beautifull plus gr8 voice she has gr8 legs

[@daddylonglegs68]

That would me 101 comments. I love the blues. Give me any position. I'll take it

[@wyzkyd1]

this guy is a solid 3 at best. Haley's legs - 10 so overall I'd definitely see them live if there were free drinks and she sang all the songs

[@user-sm3pp8tb1y]

+Wes Barnes Thank god we aren't you LMAO there might be something with you're senses

[@wendellbabin6457]

Until he sings, of course. Don't believe me...Mick Jagger. I am sure we could put together a really long list between us.

[@cminor99]

Those two are HOT!

[@gerardusharjadib.2090]

Oh yes... she is an ARTist

[@harionosoeharyo7426]
