For the 21st Century theme week on Idol tonight, contestant Haley Reinhart took on Adele's "Rolling In the Deep." It was a bit shaky at the start, but around the middle I feel like Haley rocked it out. It doesn't hold a candle to Adele's version, of course, but it wasn't a bad rendition by any stretch of the imagination. I've been a fan of Haley's voice from the start, and she's been getting the recognition she deserves these past few weeks especially.
Judge's Comments:
Randy Jackson: Right now in the competition the viewers are looking to see which direction all of you will be going in after the competition ends. You chose a perfect direction for you.
Steven Tyler: I thought it was a great performance. There's a reason that album is #1 around the world right now.
Jennifer Lopez: It takes a lot of guts to take on a song from an album that the world is so familiar with right now.
Damn that was fast. And it was so good.
Can't wait to hear the iTunes version.

I'm watching the show streaming online since I live on the West Coast, but I also follow rickey.org which puts up the videos quite quickly. :] I'm sure the iTunes version will SLAY!
Haley is my favorite contestant left this season! I agree the beginning it was really shaky, but once she got comfortable she slayed the middle verses, especially the end!
