American Idol's Haley Reinhart Goes Out With a Bang Belting "Bennie & The Jets" on the Final 3 Results Show

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"

American Idol Says Goodbye to Haley Reinhart: Benny and the Jets

American Idol Season 10's most feisty and spirited contestant Haley Reinhart gives her final, 'Curtain Call' Interview after her elimination and thanks her Fans for getting her to the Top 3.

After an amazing run, Haley Reinhart feels great about taking on new challenges and making it so far. She shows strength and resilience, saying, "I'm feeling good right now, actually. I accepted it as it happened. You never know really what's going to go down, and I was just happy with it. I accepted it. I was like, "Alright, this is happening, let's go out good with a bang and have some fun." And that's just what Haley did! Her 'Goodbye Song', Elton John's "Bennie & The Jets", was by far a better performance than any of the nine songs performed the night before (video below).

"I've never backed down," says Haley, "I like taking on challenges. I like going outside the box." Haley proved this, and her amazing versatility, by taking on songs in more music genres than any other contestant this season. Haley sang the Blues, Country ~ LeAnn Rimes "Blue" (which was originally written for Patsy Kline), Jazz ~ Sarah Vaughan's "Moanin'" and Rock ~ Led Zeppelin's "What is and What Should Never Be", among others. She took on such diverse contemporary artists as Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston, Adele, Michael Jackson, and Alicia Keys. Haley also showed off her diversity of styles singing Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" and Blondie's "Call Me". Haley took on many challenges, and proved she's no 'one trick pony'.
