"What Is and What Should Never Be" was Haley's song choice. (1st of 3 for each contestant). Her Dad, Harry, accompanied Haley on stage, playing lead guitar. As she was returning to the stage (after circling the judges table), Haley tripped up the steps, and fell down. When asked by Ryan Seacrest, all the judges said that Haley won round 1 "hands down".

It's a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin on their 1969 album Led Zeppelin II. It was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. This was one of the first songs on which Page used his soon-to-become trademark Gibson Les Paul for recording. This was also one of the first songs recorded by the band for which Robert Plant received writing credit. According to rock journalist Stephen Davis, the author of the Led Zeppelin biography Hammer of the Gods: The Led Zeppelin Saga, the lyrics for this song reflect a romance Plant had with his wife's younger sister.

"What Is and What Should Never Be" was performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts between 1969 and 1972. A live version taken from a performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970 can be seen on the Led Zeppelin DVD.

  • Can not believe how good this girl is. I can't think of one other current artist that has her unique sound and talent. If she has sang this on the voice, all of the chairs would have swung around after the first five notes. On the Voice, she would have killed every other singer and won in a landslide

  • @diana1230ful go to the idolforums website, find haley's forum, go to the tour thread.and find post 1272 on page 64. There is a link to a spreadsheet there -- click it. That extraordinary spreadsheet currently links to over 900 tour videos that are posted on YT.

  • shes my bestfriends cousin <3

  • That song alone should have put her in the finals

  • There are very few Idol Contestants that could recover that perfectly from a fall like that. She is a true superstar in the making!

  • If you notice the moment when she trips is when she looks up at her dad as she is ad-libbing the lyric "DADDY you will be mine" and I believe the glance for appreciation from her dad is what made her trip... not the pointy heel of the shoe.

  • What a true Professional with a voice to be reckoned with.....fall like that and hardly miss a beat....buy her albums when they come out!

  • I don't think a woman can be any sexier than her. My god.

  • I’m in love. You are so unbelievable.

  • 1:48 The Reinharts enter God mode.

  • 47,200th view!

  • @ronhep49 I think I know of one, Kimbra. check out here "Live @ Sing Sing Studios" recordings! But yes, Haley is unique, & I love her as well! They are both different, fresh, beautiful & unique! The next big things?!...
