I think Idol fans may now know the identity of “Haley” listed as a top 12 female candidate – Haley Scarnato a 24 year-old wedding band singer from San Antonio, TX. Her song of choice for the audition was Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Her performance was good and vocally she was very pleasing. There seemed to be a bit of a spark missing from her audition though, obviously in Hollywood she brings that up a notch if she makes it through to the top 12 as predicted.
When she was done singing Paula Abdul was the first to weigh in with her opinion saying “Real nice control of your voice, very lovely.” Randy Jackson, however, kind of hesitated then said “I thought you were good and controlled, it was ok” to which Simon Cowell quickly agreed. Cowell went on to add that it sounded a bit “cabaret” and that “in terms of the unique factor, I have a slight problem.” However all three judges decided she deserved a second chance and she received her ticket to Hollywood.
I have yet to see confirmation on the spoiler sites as to whether or not this Haley is *the* Haley that made it to the top twelve but I am pretty confident that she is the same.

You will definitely see the “spark” in Haley when she takes over the stage at Idol. This is a girl who is confidant and poised and knows just what to give and when. She is a dynamic singer and performer and AI fans will come to love her. She is truly Star quality!

[…] say. He was a wreck and his performance had Randy Jackson thanking God for the background singers. Haley Scarnato, who many believe should not have made the top twelve, actually had a few good moments in her song […]
