American Idol saves the final spot in its performance shows for its favorites, its most buzz-worthy contestants.
Therefore, it was a bit perplexing last night when the concluding act was not Pia Toscano or Jacob Lusk or James Dubin. Instead, Haley Reinhart was given the honor…
… and she proceeded to prove she was worthy of it.
Covering “Bennie and the Jets,” Haley started out lounging on a piano (the same one Durbin set on fire) and ended up waving her arms around on stage, clearing having fun and leading Steven Tyler to quip: “You. Sing. Sexy.”
Randy called this the best performance of the night. Do you agree?
