Haley Reinhart to sing Rhiannon on American Idol tonight
 

Seems that Haley Reinhart is going to sing Rhiannon tonight on the show! :) I hope this is 100% fact and not rumour. If it is...I am sorry, but usually leaked info about AI is true. We shall find out later this evening.

EDITED: The original spoilers were wrong. MJ's has Haley's. Here's what's right:
Haley Reinhart is doing "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette, "What Is And What Should Never Be" by Led Zeppelin, and "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac. The Fleetwood Mac song will probably be boring, but the other 2 have a lot of potential!"

This better be good...

I like Haley, but she doesn't know what direction to go in. I think this could be really perfect for her - she had better not f*ck it up. :wavey:

I wonder which arrangement she'll use. The guitar one that... I want to say Didi(?) used last year, or a more rocking one. I can't believe they said it'll be boring; if it's done right, Rhiannon is incredible.

This could be fantastic. I liked the more mellow version Didi did last year and so I doubt Hayley will repeat that. If she doesn't end up doing crazy mad 70s style vocals at the end then it's a real wasted opportunity. I think she's brilliant, a great voice!

After the Didi travesty, it's more than understandable why "boring" would come to mind.

Normally I'm extremely wary of anyone covering one of my favorite artists, but I've been saying for a long time now that I think Haley would be good at Rhiannon, especially a wilder version like the Rosebud one or whatever. We'll see how it goes. I'm actually kind of excited for this. I do love her voice.

Blech. And, since I need more than 10 characters, double-blech.
YMMV, of course.

If she can muster up a kick ass rocking out version, it will be great. If they try to go acoustic it will probably be not so great.

If she were smart she would go crazy and pull an exorcism young Stevie style.

Never thought about it, but since Jimmy recommended it, maybe he'll push her to do a version like that. :shrug:

Hi, I'm new on here and wanted to put my 2 cents in about Haley's song for tonight. My 5 year old daughter is a big Haley fan(therefore Mom & Dad too) and also she loves Stevie Nicks(Mom's influence of course!) so she and I are going to be thrilled to see Rhiannon performed tonight! I also hope she does a really rockin' version of it and slays it! Btw, really enjoyed seeing Stevie on DWTS last night...she looked great and happy! Love it when she smiles!:thumbsup:

Oh great. Now We're all going to see RHIANNON shoot past secret love on its way up to join friend landslide on the itunes chart:laugh:

I'm sure Stevie won't be complaining. Money is money. TBH I'd be glad to hear one of Stevie's older songs get some more attention and back off of Landslide for a while, give it some room to breath .

Having her do a toned down acoustic version would be indescribably foolish. Someone did that last year for one, and her voice is soooo perfect for a crazy rocking version that they'd be idiots not to take advantage of that.
This is an actual confirmed thing and not another rumor, right? Oh well. I guess I'll find out in less than an hour.
I think there needs to be another "rumors" forum here on The Ledge - not like the album Rumours, but for discussing things related to the band that are merely rumors. Haha I'm so clever.
