In the song "Call Me", Haley Reinhart sings about a lover who she wants to be called by any time of day or night. She uses the metaphor of "colour" to represent different aspects of her lover – his personality, his car, and even his emotions. By covering her with love and kisses, the lover is able to hide any wrongdoing and make excuses for his emotions. However, the singer doesn't care about that as long as she can always be there for him.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of the singer being there for her lover whenever he needs her. She tells him to call her any time, any day, and for any reason. She is fully devoted to him, and she wants him to know that he can always rely on her.
Overall, the lyrics of "Call Me" are about love and devotion. Haley Reinhart wants to be there for her lover whenever he needs her, and she is willing to forgive any wrongdoing as long as he keeps calling her. The song is a beautiful tribute to the power of love and the importance of being there for those we care about.

The Black Dog
Well, the Voice is miles ahead of American Idol, as Chloe's performances were like Grammy worthy performances. Performers on American Idol, on the other hand, competed on a much smaller stage.
Not to mention, that Haley was only 20 years old at the time and had never before performed on a big stage. So I don't know if it would have made any difference had Haley been on the Voice instead.
Furthermore, Chloe is soon going to find out that she isn't going to be on a big stage anymore, as those big stage performances are going to be reserved now for awards shows primarily. Most of the time, now that the Voice is over, Chloe will be fronting a band on a much smaller stage instead while doing tours.
Thus, in fronting a band, no way will Chloe have a better stage presence or more charisma than Haley. As the Haley fronting a band today is a much better performer than the Haley that appeared on American Idol.
In addition, physically, Haley has matured into a much more beautiful female than she was on Idol and she also always keeps herself perfectly physically fit. The Haley of today is much hotter than the Haley on American Idol, and her performance skills today relative to the time she was on American Idol are off the charts.
Anyway, here is a very recent less than a week old pic of Haley as she appears today without any makeup: https://scontent-ort2-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/25010030_1964487743825594_4529450679042834432_n.jpg
Here is Haley performing rock in the Netherlands this spring:

And in Paris:

That is what Chloe will be doing too mostly in the future, fronting her own band, and in that regard, at best she will be as good as Haley, but she won't be a better performer or have a better stage presence than Haley. No way.
Moreover, here is Haley doing jazz:

Yep, I hope one day that Chloe can have as much stage presence and charisma as Haley.

A very underrated performance by Haley - I think she killed it with her stage performance and subtle hand and body movements. Haley just freshens up any song she tackles and makes them interesting and new. A very sexy performance with great vocals - a feast for the eyes and ears!!!
Noodle Swage
Great performance. It has aged well -- much better than some of the judges comments.
Space Cowboy
Thanks to Randy, this is a very under rated performance, but as far as I was concerned it was a very excellent performance. Haley owned the stage and she sang it better than Blondie's original. She even hit a G#5 in the chorus.
Noodle Swage
Haley got hassled when she sang without growls and vocal gymnastics. I thought it was a great performance back then and I appreciate even more now. She also had a great stage presence, which in itself was beyond what others were doing and represented major growth on her part over the course of just a few shows. Energy, movement, vocals -- it's all there. It is amazing how so many viewers and "reviews" of the show were influenced by Randy's nonsense on this and several other songs she performed.
The Black Dog
You just expressed my sentiments perfectly.
Trevor Morris
++Space Cowboy++
You're right on both counts. The song suited her perfectly well and it showed off her belting rock voice very well. She also sounded far better than Debbie Harry whose version I've just listened to for comparison. In fact, Debbie Harry doesn't really sound like a Rock singer at all on that track.
Tammie Richardson
Space Cowboy agreed Haley was robbed a win....
Tammie Richardson
she was robbed, would like to see her perform with Stevie Nicks
Tooth Pick
Go watch all of the other "Call Me" performances on American Idol and the Voice over the years, including the Catie Turner performance last Sunday, and none of those other performances come close to Haley's performance above. She was and is the absolute best American Idol ever.

And the most beautiful 2 the 4th power 2.
