Harry & Patti Reinhart's band Midnight played for free at Wheeling High School's "Relay for Life" Benefit for the American Cancer Society. Harry and Patti, parents of American Idol Top 3 finalist Haley Reinhart, played with Haley at her Homecoming Concert. (Patti sang Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" with Haley.
She also provided back-up vocals and played tamborine, while Haley's dad Harry played guitar for Haley's whole hometown concert which also included Elton John's "Bennie & The Jets and "Sweet Home Chicago" - one of the most popular anthems for the city of Chicago, and made popular by Buddy Guy and the movie "The Blues Brothers".
Midnight played about a half dozen songs for the Benefit, including "Danny's Song" by Kenny Loggins.
Feisty Haley Reinhart goes out with a bang ~ and gets her revenge ~ belting out Elton John's "Bennie & The Jets" as her final song on the American Idol Season 10 Final 3 Results Show. We've all been waiting for someone to have their 'moment' during the Final 3. Haley came very close with Led Zeppelin's “What is and What Should Never Be”, but that was one song out of nine ~ on a very boring, very safe show. Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina never sang a show-stopping song for the Final 3. But after Haley got eliminated, she blew them both out of the water. You could tell by the looks on their faces, they were both wondering, "How am I going to top Haley's "Bennie & The Jets" on the Finale?"
BRAVO HALEY!!! You went out with grace, and one of the best performances of the season. We are so, so proud of you!
Did you all catch Haley's subtle, yet beautifully placed, slap in the face to JeaLous JLo and Randy?? Her brilliant change of words in "Bennie & The Jets" told us exactly what Haley thought of their harsh, unjustified criticism...
"Say, Randy and JLo, have you seen them yet?
OH, BUT THEY ARE SO SPACED OUT, B-B-B-Bennie and Steven"
