IDOL Tournament: Round 4 - Haley Reinhart VS Fantasia Barrino

Today, we have an odd match-up. Haley Reinhart versus Fantasia Barrino. I wonder how this showdown will pan out. I mean, both are incredible singers with a great amount of soul. We shall see.

Poll is open for 48 hours only. If anyone's interested in the matchups DAM NATION planned for the coming weeks, click here to check out the entire 64-player bracket (then click again for a zoomed in view).

Haley Reinhart
Moanin'

So for Haley Reinhart - and Casey Abrams who'll appear in the next coming weeks - I've decided to put up their goosebump-inducing cover of Moanin'. They don't have anything released yet post-American Idol, but this is just to remind everyone that they are also capable of doing incredible music. I mean, I haven't heard this song prior to the performance, but they sold this to me. Very jazzy and yet modern. 



Fantasia Barrino
When I See U

Her song that garnered two Grammy Award nominations, one for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and the other for Best R&B Song. The song reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and spent a year on the chart, one of only fourteen songs in history to achieve that feat. It was ranked #8 on the chart's decade-end chart.


VOTE!

  5. Fantasia is good but, Haley is definitely much better in my book. Versatility (Can interpret/deliver different type of emotion in the song). Great voice and the more you listen to her the more you want to listen.

  7. Reinhart all the way! Fantasia is good and her voice made her win Grammy. But Grammy is just an award. Her voice is an epitome of perfection and versatility :> Hail Queen Reinhart! :-bd

  12. Fantasia sh$ts on Haley all day, even on her worst day. Tay's performance of collard greens and cornbread on the show trumps anything done by Haley.

  19. Have to say this. Fantasia is GREAT but the Haley sickness is still here so no wonder she'll win over a great Idol winner.
