Haley Reinhart looked shocked when Ryan Seacrest revealed that Lauren Alaina was moving on to this week’s “American Idol” finale … but she didn’t look as sad as some might have expected.
We think we know why.
Reinhart’s parents are telling folks that their daughter’s circling a record deal and “has already recorded a single and plans to debut it on the season 10 finale this Wednesday,” THR notes.
“She likes the song she’s doing, and we hope you like it too,” Haley’s mother told fans who recently gathered to support Relay For Life. As for Reinhart’s runner-up finish, the Reinharts are proudly stating, “No. 3 is pretty darn good,” primarily because “you don’t have to be so tied to [19 Recordings and Interscope Records] that way.”
