Biography |
Haley Scarnato (born July 15, 1982) is an American singer
who is a current finalist on the 6th season of American
Idol.
Scarnato is of Italian descent and was born in San Antonio,
Texas to Rose and Anthony Scarnato. She was a young gymnast
between the ages of 5 and 15. Her body began to give out and
after she dislocated both of her shoulders, Haley decided to
move on to other things. Soon after, she found out that
singing and music were her true passions and loves. She
became a freelance singer, doing back up vocals, performing
with the Josephine Theatre (a local theater troupe), and
singing in the band The Oh So Good! Band, a live wedding
band in Texas. Haley attended and graduated from William
Howard Taft High School in San Antonio. She is a born-again
Christian, citing God as her inspiration multiple times in
her American Idol interview. She is engaged to internet talk
radio host and host of The Dr. Bruno Show, Dr. Ajay Bruno.
Scarnato auditioned for American Idol in her hometown of San
Antonio, Texas. She sang Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You
Love Me". Paula said that she had real nice control of her
voice and said that it was lovely. Randy thought it was just
okay and Simon agreed by saying "you look good, you sound,
it's a bit cabaret". Both Simon and Randy didn't think she
had much originality, but all three of them agreed that she
did have a good voice and decided to let her through to
Hollywood. While in Hollywood, she sang Celine Dion's "It's
All Coming Back To Me Now" and Simon was very impressed with
her. In the group round she sang with fellow semi-finalists
Amy Krebs and two other female contestants. Simon thought it
was good, but said that he wasn't going to remember any of
them. Haley made through to the Top 40 then finally made it
through to the Top 24. On March 8, 2007, Scarnato was voted
through to the Top 12 over Sabrina Sloan whom she was
roommates with. |
