Top 5 Performance Show: Haley Takes a BIG Risk

Haley Reinhart, “You and I”: 18

Did Jimmy just kill Haley’s “Idol” chances? I’m concerned that he did. She sounded great, but the song just didn’t really work since no one really knows it and it wasn’t that great of a song. I can see why Lady Gaga didn’t release it. It would have been tempting to take such an opportunity, but I think she should have told Jimmy no.

That having been said, why are the judges always so hard on Haley, but they gave off-key Jacob AND James both passes? It’s like they’re trying to get rid of her…
