Haley Reinhart, one of American Idol’s final 3 contenders for the top spot, took a pretty hard fall during her “contestants choice” performance of Led Zeppelin‘s “What Is and Should Never Be.”
Walking toward the judges table, she tripped on the stairs, fell to her hands and knees, but got right back up. It didn’t seem to affect her, or her performance in the least. Now that is a professional! Her father, Harry, was playing guitar on the Zeppelin performance. I am surprised we didn’t see him run out to try and catch her!
Once the performance was finished, the judges, of course, had to confront the elephant in the room. Steven Tyler asked “Would you fall for me?” but then continued to praise her for the performance. Jennifer Lopez also praised her, and added that this past weekend even she fell: “I’ve fallen, Beyonce’s fallen … You keep going. It’s a sign of a professional who knows what they’re doing.” Randy Jackson thought it was a planned fall.
A planned fall? Yeah, that one confused me too.
Anyway, Reinhart was a-ok, and in fact was awarded the first round victory in tonight’s 3 person stand off.
What do you think? Helped, hurt, or neither? Let us know below!
