Reinhart Returns To American Idol Stage Tonight

Haley Reinhart will return to American Idol's stage Wednesday after narrowly avoiding elimination last week.

Harper College student Haley Reinhart will take the stage again today at 7 p.m. on American Idol.

Last week was a close call for Reinhart, who found herself among the bottom three vote-getters. The Wheeling High School graduate sang "Blue" by LeAnn Rimes. Although judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez were positive in their comments, Randy Jackson found the performance "boring."

The judges said that Reinhart had a very versatile voice, but also had to establish an identity. Lopez also made some suggestions for Reinhart: "She should be singing pop, rock stuff."
