Haley Reinhart - Follow Me (I’m Right Behind You)
One of the bonus songs on her debut. Amazing.
Day 10 - An Idol performance from a semi-finalist you love
Tim Halperin & Julie Zorrilla - Something
This was such a beautiful duet. I was so bummed when they were eliminated in the semifinals. I’m glad that Tim releases new music and covers on a regular basis. Y’all should check out his album, Rise and Fall!
Honourable mention: Katelyn Epperly - The Scientist
Jessica Sanchez - The National Anthem

Haley Reinhart - Hit The Ground Runnin’
Day 9 - An Idol performance from a top 3 finisher you love
Haley Reinhart - Bennie and the Jets
This was a gamechanger. After this performance, I knew that Haley was the ideal female contestant that I had been looking for since Brooke White. She has the voice, the style, the look, the personality, the vivacity, the whole shebang!
B-B-Bennie and the Jetsss…
Honourable Mentions: Joshua Ledet - It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World, Syesha Mercado - One Rock ‘n’ Roll Too Many, Melinda Doolittle - I Am Woman

party like it’s 2004: a middle school mixtape
Put on your best party dress (from Kohl’s, natch), your platform flip-flops, and your hair mascara. It’s time for the end-of-the-year dance, chaperoned by your gym teacher Mr. Belcher and your evil-bitch art teacher Mrs. Bjerke (sounds like beer-key but should’ve rhymed with BEE-JERK, ‘cause that’s what she was). No freak dancing allowed, kids. Sodas are $1 at the concessions table.
