Reinhart Survives Another Round on Idol

Haley Reinhart squeaked through to the next round of American Idol Thursday night.

The Wheeling High School graduate, who now attends Harper College, was among the bottom three contestants after viewers cast votes for the 13 remaining singers Wednesday night. In the end, it was Ashton Jones who was eliminated.

Before revealing that Reinhart would move on to another round, Idol judges discussed her versatile voice and song choices, which have ranged from Alicia Keys to LeAnn Rimes.

“I like to switch it up a lot,” Reinhart acknowledged.

While she has impressed judges with the variety of songs, at least one judge thinks Reinhart should stick with one genre.

“She should be singing pop, rock stuff,” Jennifer Lopez said.

Reinhart, 20, will join the 11 other remaining contestants for the next round at 7 p.m. Wednesday on Fox.
