American Idol, Haley Reinhart Eliminated

I was shocked after it was announced that Haley Reinhart was eliminated from AI, but I am sure no one would have been more surprised than Reinhart herself after learning that she was no longer in the run towards becoming the next American Idol.

Reinhart was the last to stay in the competition among the finalists I had rooted for this season. She had been in the bottom three a couple of times, yes, but had always managed to make a comeback, astounding the judges and the viewers worldwide with her vocals that got better and better every week. She even had a nasty spill on one of her final performances, yet the judges Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson, as well as guest Mentor Beyonce, applauded her, so the result was something I had not expected.

The American Idol hopeful still appeared strong after she was voted off, even telling her fans that it was only the beginning, and I agree. I am pretty sure we will see more of Reinhart and hear more of her mad vocals in the coming days.
