Haley Reinhart's Dreams Ruined for Third Time In One Week... All Thanks to America and Bono



We promised this wouldn't be a Haley fan site, but this is actual news, we swear. First, Haley was tragically cut right before her chance to win the Idol crown, then she was teased with the idea of taking Lauren's place and performing on the finale against Scotty, but at the last minute was told she wasn't needed. And at last week's finale, she prepared to premiere her new single, only to be told that an old "star" would be performing to promote one of the most criticized Broadway plays in recent memory.


According to Haley “That was going to happen,” (perform the song) she told The Hollywood Reporter about debuting the single on the finale. “And then Bono came in and it was taken away.”


There’s no word on whether we’ll get to hear that original song, or whether she’ll release a single. Haley says that single will “Probably not (be released) now, but it was an option when I was let go. They had said that it was going to happen, and like everything else in this business, it’s all subject to change. I was excited about it, but then again, I think I’d like to wait and come up with something that’s very me. Everything happens for a reason, so it’s all good.”


Who will join us in boycotting Bono and his failing play? He has just gone in and set back Haley's career for possibly months, but he doesn't care since he got to make some cash.

Scotty Wins, Nation Lets Out Simultaneous Yawn



Sadly it has happened, after the optimistic side of me leaping for joy thinking that Haley might rejoin the competition in place of Lauren, and Lauren getting all of the buzz and sympathy votes on Tuesday, Scotty has completed what VoteForTheWorst is calling the "Kristy Lee Cook curse". Ever since season seven, Kristy Lee Cook has been their favorite competitor in Idol history. Also, the last four winners have spelled out her name. Kris Allen, Scotty McCreery, Lee Dewyze, and David Cook; or Kris-ty Lee Cook.


Obviously, history will repeat itself, and the runner-up will outsell the winner (Adam and Kris, Crystal and Lee) as Lauren is much more marketable and can crossover styles, unlike Scotty who is all-country all the time. Haley could actually be the highest selling Idol contestant this season, but it could also be Lauren or Pia. Either way, the boys will fail at sales this season. After all, Pia reportedly already has a recording contract and Haley is already done recording her first single.


So, what do you think? Will Scotty actually sell something? Or will the runner-up still sell more than the winner? We'll have to wait and see.

Dear Haley Reinhart, If You Don't Win This Thing, We Boycott

I know, I know, everyone wants a Lauren/Scotty finale. Including the producers of Idol themselves, who have tried to make America believe that they're a couple from the very beginning. But let's be honest, Haley is like Kelly Clarkson in that she is definitely the rising underdog, and she is easily the most talented singer left in the competition. There is a good chance we will see a Scotty/Haley or Lauren/Haley finale as pretty much all of James' votes will go to her, Scotty's and Lauren's country votes will be split, and anyone who hates country now only has one person to vote for.


I am proud to say that Haley has been in my top 2 favorites this entire season (moving to No. 1 after Pia Toscano was shockingly left in 9th place), and that I did start out with Lauren in my no. 3 spot. I will also have to come out and say that I've hated Scotty from the very beginning. He has no personality and seems to have obviously been an avid flute player in his past life. Why would I bring up past lives? Because he also seems to be as energetic as my great aunt. And she's dead. Sorry, just felt like I had to get that out of my system.


So I urge you to vote for someone with true talent and not just for a Lauren/Scotty finale. Please, limit the Cutest Couple contests to your high school yearbook. Also, you should definitely listen to her rendition of "Rolling In The Deep" by Adele (my personal favorite of hers) or "House of The Rising Sun" by The Animals (considered the best performance of the season by all three judges according to their critiques of the song last week).
