LaKisha Jones - Audition

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

The parts where she tearfully embraced her daughter that was adorable. :D

[luckyno7blog]

um, why am i tearing up and grinning? oh, cuz this is UH MAZIN!!

[BRCOproductions]

paula likes everyone

[Nyakoisawesome]

@BRCOproductions yeah she even liked Sanjaya and I thought noone liked him

[hizlove719]

She can really sing!!! I love it!!

[PercyJacksonn1234]

Who is the fourth judge?

[engrish2006]

@PercyJacksonn1234 Carole Bayer Sager.

[devangelis]

Simon is smiling the whole time and he NEVER does that...so that says it all!!

[magico008]

I can´t believe she came 4th, she was my favorite.

[mrblueface07]

1:30 Paula the Puppet

[kitty78961]

Oh! My! Goodness! She is so great :) i love how she calls it a gift not a talent.... Absolutly love love love her.

[neverknow900]

She knows she has a great voice but yet she's humble.

[godisgoodatht]

Move over Aretha!

[TheOmareeno3000]

look at simon in 0:00

[Mario856]

not all black people can sing that's like saying all gay guys can do hair

[XxxKaoru]

"Its not a talent but a gift." She a great singer the same time such humble and religious

[StarAnimes]

why isnt she famous? or is she?

[MusicfaninMO]

I've always felt like Randy was thinking, "And why did you have to come here to be discovered?"

[XxxKaoru]

@MusicfaninMO everybody come to American Idol to be discovered. :-/

[MusicfaninMO]

@XxxKaoru Not really, everyone. Lots of people have made it without American Idol. Charice, Natasha Bedingfield, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and on and on. Yes, that's why these people are there, but it seems like she should have been discovered before that. That's all I meant. I'm still shocked she's not on Broadway or something. But I know she's happy, married, family, etc.

[ponchandra]

Beautiful!

[MarwaB1]

I liked the part when she say yeeeeeeeeah think

[Mlgsniperfi4877]

lol at 1:32 her boobs almost flew out

[Materiuhlism]

you know you had a good performance when simon smiles

[deadsuperman200]

0:22 randy gets a boner

[LadyKOL08]

Beautifully done :)

[ILoveBobMarley1love]

She gave me goosebumps !

[TheEmbertiger]

not all black people can sing, but all of us have this tone that shows something

[crystalluvsunicorns]

awww shes such a nice lady :))

[billcottles]

00:23 Paula's face...

[pennydesouza]

SO impressive, I love her tone!

[ptypanda]

YES!!!!



[nikanoraOM]

MA Im black and i didin't even believe black girls actually have ghetto names ... LaKisha . 

[chiixnaru]

[valeriobizzarri]

[biglipstasia]

Hit the 3 key repeatedly.

[eiknarfXD]

@biglipstasia LMFAO ! HAHA , Her Boobs Bounced >.< Ahaha

[goldenralph78]

God bless your talent girl.....you are meant to succeed honeygirl !!!...your time is coming...and you are gonna make it :)

[xORIGINALTEE]

[justbreatheify]

[misterjrhodes]

I love 0:39 - 0:40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MsJesusRulez2]

You're a great performer and singer.......you have alot of confidence too....

[josied1996]

SHE KILLED IT AND AT 0:38 WOW !!!!

[Emomeshanedawson]

I loved her!!! But Im really confused cuz I remember seeing her in hollywood round and getting cut. Theres a chance it wasnt her but I remember seeing someone that season looking just like her with her grandmother coming on the stage begging to give her grand daughter another chance, so they did, and simon said that it was worse the second time and she was cut. Anyone know who or what Im talking about?

[Skelros]

she is frightening me

[EvaYayaAmanda]

this girl and melinda shoul be in the final 2. i mean seriously, i love Jordin, i did. but compare to these girl.......im sorry jordin

[triviafreak1]

FREEDOOOOOM!!

[ImmuneToFearr]

Lmao "Ya-ow-ow"

[Kaiuchka]

I love how she bounced her boobs when they said yes.

[charisaob]

after all those years that i saw this audition she is the only one i remember and I still like her voice and tone etc etc..... She might lacks range, I don;t know, because sometimes a good teacher will teach you how to go higher and sound great. I wish I see her with her own album, I would definately buy it.

[ANIAGIRLZ]

THERE'S NO WAY JORDAN CAN COMPARE TO THAT. AND WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ON PAULA'S HEAD?

[paddylast13]

this chocolate diva is FIERCE!!! Last year's performance of THINK can't be compared to the greatness known as LaKisha!

[SIRGAGA123]

put out a cd gurl so I can buy it! she probably has 1 of the best tones this show has EVER heard

[PK292TSM]

She's one of those greats that only come once in a very long time. Unfortunately, American Idol let her slip away.

[IdioticTendencies]

This audition is an idol classic, one of its kind! =D

[Truzzzzzi]

Am I the only one that noticed that bounce around 1:31?

[Q2IN2Y]

soul baby thats soul

[3laafadel]

1:16 so british :P

[jhstiger]

@3laafadel "Good ole fashion belta" LOL!

[ExotiiqueBeautiii]

So what happened to her? =/

[jamillia381]

lol go kisha, she blew me out of the water when she started singing!

[goodmorninglovely]

I love how when they the judges tell them, "You're going to Hollywood!", the people are always like, "Thank you!" and then when they come out they freak out and start crying and stuff.

[lovelybird4488]

she killed it !!!!!!!!!

[funymaggot12]

that 3 year old is prolly like holly shit i was fucking naping

[RobsReviews]

I hate how there are many great singers on AI and not all the great singers have great careers

[playmate0608]

Another Brilliant Singer!!

[casaG]

Black people made to sing... !!! I wish i was black

[Mzlendo69]

[mickaela5]

[ShawDAMAN]

@casaG hehee some blacks do have an awesome singing culture but not all.... I wish some of my black friends could sing like this lol (i sure can't)

[tiffanyw1231]

@casaG lmao thats funny..lol

[lasuntagreen]

@casaG LOL!!!

[narutoandhinata4eva9]

@casaG Uhm, no babe. 'Cause, I'm Black, and, I can tell you, not ALL of us can sing. (Me being one of many.)

[charismaswagg]

@casaG Not all of us can sing, trust me my sisters are HORRIBLE haha. But check out Elliot Yamin, he's the best "caucasian" male singer I've ever heard!

[LadyKOL08]

@casaG wow.

[mrsantronette]

@casaG Lmfaoo !

[fallonemagali]

@casaG I'm black and i can't sing!!

[DaBearsManiac]

[lword1970]

I love her single Same song . i think she sings even better now

[purpleiris669]

and now she's on broadway and it's totally changed her life around

[Innerso]

simons face is so creepy at the beginning....

[Ryan123654]

you could tell if someone is a good singer if they're modest, not ego apeshit crazy about their terrible voice =D

[skynjul101]

I remember being like 10 and loving her..hahaha

[icblud]

she shoulda won :(

[DestinyAlready]

i like her!

[werbery]

at the begginig of the video in 0.00, who is simon seducing O.O?

[RiseToOffend]

@werbery

LOL

[MrsJusstme]

Good, Good, GOOD! I love <3 (:

[ThePSNGuy]

She's wonderful, but this show isn't about voice talent for any genre of singing, this is for pop music which is bullsh**. I like lol

[elinheartstristin]

WOW! *O*

[magico008]

BEST IDOL AUDITION EVER!!!!!!!! BETTER THAN FANTASIA, JENNIFER HUDSON, CARRIE UNDERWOOD AND EVEN BETTER THAN KELLY CLARKSON, KELLY´S MY FAVORITE IDOL THOUGH.......

[tallrob11]

@magico008 not better than Jennifer Hudson! Not even close! lmao!

[tallrob11]

@magico008 not better than Jennifer Hudson! Not even close! lmao! and Paris was better too! of course only my opinion!! lol

[magico008]

@tallrob11 yeah, I respect your opinion, that´s ok. By the way, what´s the meaning of lmao? thanks!

[tallrob11]

@magico008 laughing my ass off... and don't get me wrong Lakisha can sang but I just like a few auditions better. I really liked her Bon Jovi song and when she was in Hollywood I think singing Aretha...??? thanks for respecting my opinion as I respect yours. That's what this is all about...sharing our opinions. It would be boring if everyone agreed all of the time!

[embracemyself]

embracemyself dot-com

[ipodvideonano]

niiiiiiice =]

[kevinelle]

Paula is so annoying. I;m so glad they took her crazy ass out

[BLAKPEARL69]

singer's like her get no love. these no talent can't sing their way out of a lunch box get the fame smh.

[codeofthedragon1]

I FOUND THE NEXT DENZEL/WILL SMITH LOOK UP RANDY RANZ

[shankedbyfrank555]

In the UK, our judges don't sing.

[LadyDiamond33]

her voice is so amazing!!

She should have won :D

[NoukiiPoekii]

the new jennifer hudson! xxxx

[johnphoenix17]

Siobhan Magnus sings it better and can go higher!!!! haha but great job Lakisha!! :)

[lovericecake]

I can't believe she and Frenchie Davis didn't deserve the fame they should have deserved...jeez nowadays you can't just get recognized for pure talent...you need to be perfect BEFORE you face the world...

[tekiloo]

she's amazing.

[1agaston]

great!



[Lienweethetnietmeer]

why can't al the contesters be like her xp

[881102fifi]

abso;utely beautiful sweetheart...wow!!!

[ncasey31693]

she was SO good, i broke down at 2:00 when she was crying with her babygirl she deserved that golden ticket more than anyone =)

[langa209]

your a good ol fashion belter aahahaha simon lol

[villezlovrgrl666]

I LOVED HER WOOOOOOW this woman can sing :) xxoo

[BrideOfChuckee]

She sounds like Fantasia

[luisbravo777]

Ahí ta pu, LaKisha, Latifah, Shaniquia, LaToya, Rohandra, LaToya XD jijijij

[fashionista4533]

SHE WAS GREAT!

[Donlakyounomoah]

Brilliant! I hope this girl goes really, really far - the world needs to hear this voice!

[everybodywants]

my god, her voice is so amazing... it gives me chills everytime I hear it

[WhateverLife46]

This was better than Siobhan's performance.

[TheKaypee08]

she was so good, they den vote! =D

[iloveamericani6]

she's so good they didnt even vote, just go to hollywood girl

[Jewelrylover111]

Aww. I like her. :]

She is a nice singer. :]

She should have won......

[redhibernation]

NO WAY IN HELL should Jordin Sparks have won !!! The voting for this show is such a joke.

[tranurse]

@redhibernation well, mostly teen age girls are the ones voting

[MrTronvas]

@redhibernation

werdd!

this girl is 100 times better than jordan sparks

its probaly that jordin had the look, nice smile, prettier

[koyamagen]

Wow! But it's still not better than Siobhan's version...

[angelcrossspike]

@koyamagen but then again this was her audition not an actaull performance.

[koyamagen]

@angelcrossspike

But, even if you slick that 'priority' under this audition, it's still not as good as Siobhan's performance.

[koyamagen]

@angelcrossspike

But, even if you put that 'priority' under her audition, it's still not as good as Siobhan. Don't get me wrong, I thought LaKisha should've been in the finale with Melinda, but oh well, Siobhan is better for me!

[1989keyshia]

she is wonderful , nice energy she is beautiful

[Jennixbabiix30]

wheen i first heard her i was like oh shit i was blown away

[PeanutPanhead]

wow she has an AMAZING voice!

[islezeus]

@MrPURECONTROL No sweetie... thats your momma... an ALBINO GORILLA WHO LIVES IN THE TRAILER

[isisbybobdylan]

Ohhhh, I LOVE her!!!!! Why didn't she win?! Aretha is the best and anyone who can sing like her must be the best, too! Tears!!

[Desertrose200]

this is so amazing just take a look at the "germanIdols" ... you can´t compare them to the american idols..

[JustinsAngels]

the girl who co-owns this account with me is called Lakshmi Jones LOL!

[aaron3063]

i KNOW THE JUDGES DIDN'T EXPECT THAT VOICE TO COME OUT OF HER SHE HAS A GREAT VOICE THO!

[Kenudigme]

simon "ur a good ol' fashioned B-ELteR" ROTFL LMAO

[sissypie1999]

gave me goose bumps

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

Apparently, this season sucks ass? I dont know, I watch Idol uploads on here. >xDD

[Azelf3]

@xxxthoughtlessxxx Lakisha is one of the good ones, the rest arent bad but they're not as good as the other season's contenders :)

[williams8410]

She Gave Me CHILLS ! !

[lilkenny18]

she did make it far she made top four of dat season

[beyyful]

diantre....me paro los pelos esa mujer.....que increíble voz!!!  wow, wow, wow

[giggilamour]

She is a brilliant singer!

[SolidSkillz102]

ok well well wat justfies that?

[devangelis]

The fact that Simon was smiling says it all. He NEVER smiles while the person is singing! As soon as Lakisha saw that smile she must have been like, "Oh yeah. I got this."

[skynjul101]

@devangelis Yeah but he didn't even smile for syesha haha

[xxShemoXpreshnSxx]

I wish she had made it further.

[redcutie25]

Outstanding voice. I wish I watched idol when she made it to Hollywood. Wow I missed alot.

[ScarletPirate1]

I thought that was funny that Simon used the same phrase that I use. "Belter". And yeah, I admire belters for the sheer energy they can release and being a great belter really is a gift. You can be loud, but if you have something good in the volume, people will love it. So, after all that, you go LaKisha!

[tashnezz]

she has got a POWERFUL voice damnnnnnn its goood love it

[Pixel088]

i don't watch these shows anymore.. boring as shit.. but i'd have loved to watch her go through it though.. and she didn't win? huh

[MrJArano]

I hate the fact that she didn't win... Did she record a CD or something?

[jeviejean13]

i htink she shudda won american idol!!!!!

[kristofer4b]

im going to agree with jujufactory.. the names that was given to them was to keep them from being part of the white society.. the whites always see the blacks as servants before.... discrimination is upon you if your black...

i hope i wont offend someone for the comment that i post...

[SolidSkillz102]

@uiwqe y do u say that? Wat r u?

[uiwqe]

dont misunderstand what i say ok?..i'm talking about the bad ones ok?

[elinheartstristin]

@kristofer4b what does that have to do with her name?? gotdamn. everytime a black person is in a video, whites and blacks get into about racist crap. america.......

[littlemntwo]

1:32 whooo bounce bounce

[brownieblush]

LAKISHA you are GOOD! Wow.
