American Idol - Amanda Overmyer - Back In The U.S.S.R.

[lissy11228]

i think the big reason i dont like this version is because Pauls voice kinda of shakes when he says "you dont know how lucky you are" in the original and thats my favorite part and she doesnt do it :(

[ReviewCam]

don't ever ever EVER sing this in public again! It's not a blues songs. I'd give her zero out of 10

[jprybicki1026]

This is soooooo bad.



[jeremykelleyirish]

I love this version

[whitbyjet65]

Tacky shows like this should be banned from using classic rock songs.

[CornStoveIowa]

... now that's a BALLAD that she later wrote into her new Album SOLIDIFY (itunes) ...!

[gnossticc]

American Idol, pure crap.

[CornStoveIowa]

Checkout her new Album called SOLIDIFY and it can found at ITUNES, CD BABY, AMAZON, YAHOO, RAPHSODY, NAPSTER, etc...

[tobehlen]

This is pretty good may not b Paul but decent. Vary bluesish. I liked it makes me wish I witches this season of american idol.

[AnnieTigerChucky]

Worst American Idol to hit the stage. "Boring" is not the word. "Headache giving" is the word. She and The Jonas Brothers are the worst singers I ever heard in my life.

[iKneelB4Scarecrow]

Why does everyone hate this? I think this fucking rocks... but then again I've never heard the original...

[manc1962]

in the old days groups played instruments,they wrote their own songs & had to compete with the likes of the beach boys,the birds,elvis,the who ,simon & garfunkel etc .nowadays we have to put up with these 10th rate arsewipes & if anyone dares criticise you get slated for it .if you was in a pub & someone murders a song by your favourite group you 'd be shouting get off you're shit.give them instruments & let them play & sing their own songs & they can be judged on that.

[korpraali82]

It sucks man!

[55jrmoney]

i really liked it, but if she didnt do a song as this big she could of stayed

[AjPhizzles]

this is aweful

[AeroBrennan]

Just by watching this, I feel as though I HAVE to comment saying

I wish I never listened to this, or even knew it existed.

[doubleDdog09]

i think she should've sang "Oh Darling". i think she could've had a moment with that song. any Beatles fans agree with me?

[Picklerfan1]

GO TO HELL ALL OF YOU FUCKING BITCHES

SHE ROCKS AND U KNOW IT SO SUCK IT ALL!!!

WHOEVER THINKS SHE'S BAD LETS SEE YOU DO BETTER!

[Picklerfan1]

GO TO HELL ALL OF YOU FUCKING BITCHES

SHE ROCKS AND U KNOW IT SO SUCK IT ALL!!

WHOEVER THINKS SHE'S BAD LETS SEE YOU DO BETTER!

[thavari]

american got to understand they are nothing like the british! (only cat stevens - i love him)

[OllieRetroSound]

has an awful american twist on a great british song

[ARBO2k9]

I hate that Beatles fans are calling these people crappy singers, when they are good, they are given the genre of music, she has an 80's voice, and she's amazing at that genre of music, this is not her genre, so leave her be, she is all 80's rock.

[ReviewCam]

Dreadful. Horrible. Butchering of a classic, and I hate how they change the lyrics. This is about guys singing about Moscow GIRLS.

[AliceCooperColdEthyl]

She wasnt singing a minute :D

Horrible singer !! :DDD

[nowheremancameron]

this lady failed big time what's happened to the awesomeness of the original, even lemmy's version is better than this

[jhniscolV2]

no one does it better than McCartney, however I personally love this version

It has a Southern blues rock feel to it.

to the most vocal critics who can't stop cursing:

IT'S A DAMN STYLE OF SINGING. JANICE JOPLIN PERFECTED IT

[TheGameConquer]

YOU SUCK BALLS

[dovestones]

Thanks for killing that classic.

[ferreirafsa]

what a piece of crap!!!!

They turned one of the best songs ever in shit!!!

[hotdoghotdog98]

why do they let people ruin good music and if i could sum this performance up in one word, horrible

[spulkagent47]

Oh my God she's got a horrible voice. She needs to cut back on the Marlboros.

[MrShaneRon]

This SUCKS she ruined a great song!

[roycouped]

I cant believe people watch this. I cant believe I've already seen over a minute of it!

[DirtyDaria]

MANY GREETING FROM RUSSIA (ex.USSR) BABY!!!

MOLODEC!!!!!!!!!!!!BRAVO!!

[andyshirer]

kill me now!!

[mlong785]

omg, dreadful

[thestapletube]

WOW! She is shit.

[imonlyaperson1]

i love this song by her she changed it without changing it drastically so

[rdirnancgoo]

not very good. and, AmericanIdolBigTv, you spelled the beAtles wrong. :) im not trying to be mean

[priestessofair]

Oh and also, having lived in Britain myself all they know how to do is avoid a toothbrush. GO AMERICA.KSON . The only decent (albeit great) group from Britain is Celtic Woman

[MegaMacTV]

@priestessofair Your observations are so keen...so sharp. It's as if...you know it all? Either that or your opinions are greatly skewed.

[greenyxi]

@priestessofair I realise that you said this about 2 months ago, but do you really have to be so racist? I mean, if you lived in Britain, you must have lived on the streets with the tramps if they didn't clean their teeth. I'd agree that there aren't many great british groups, but I don't like groups in general so I'm a bit biased.

[priestessofair]

that's funny as the best selling artists in history are AMERICAN. GO WHITNEY HOUSTON GO MARIAH CAREY AND GO AMANDA OVERMYER

[proGoalie88]

@priestessofair You do know that that's because America is the consumerism capital of the world, right? If every chinise person buys a CD for some "MC PingPong", will it make "MC PingPong" the worlds greatest artist of all time?

You can't measure artists greatness strickly by record sales. Record sales measure commercial value.

[northerner50]

My Merlyn...shut up. The girl had a go! good rocking!

[MyMerlin1]

Americans stop killing the British songs , you cant sing for shit.

[kid23467]

hey all you fuking idiots she made this song better it sucked before she sung and rocked after she finisded it

[MegaMacTV]

@kid23467 Whatever you say. *rolls eyes*

[codybillie]

Ah fuck all yall she is the best yall are just all jealous

[YTUsah]

Ahh I hate it when someone says y'all. Please please don't be so American

[kid23467]

why can't he be american

[MyMerlin1]

That's Terrible , Americans kill every british song thats going.

[YTUsah]

Agree

[kid23467]

screw the brits

[ViaCydonia]

beetles? BEATLES

[elianaTCB]

im gonna stop listening... im afraid if i continue she will ruin the song for me

[Lordcrazy12]

It killed the song T_T

[norb7771]

FYI AmericanIdolBigTV it's spelled Beatles

[zobodobokobo]

i dont remember back in the ussr sucking at all? what happened?

[12345BeatlesFan]

She totally ruined this song for me!

[mower409]

Screw you BITCH its a good song and she is a good song so go get a life and suck it fagggggg

[swimminchick3045]

wow this sucked ass.

[bealtespip123]

Aaahh.........Didn't really like this cover. Sorry Amanda!

[gimbadeebum]

Her BOOBS couldn't HELP her on this one. She took a Great song and tried to Screw it around to make it sound in a different style like Elvis would do. He's turning in his grave, and I just slashed my wrists. Paula was speachless and studdered or is on somthing. Simon is always an Asshole.

[mclaine33]

Fuck Simon

he can go suck a dick

[jimmyjazz420]

horrible

[Haqster]

It got raped

[DylanDisasater]

I fucking love herrr<3333

[Shadow01010011]

THIS IS NOT THE SONG I WAS LOOKING FOR. back in the ussr doesn't suck this hard she ruined it.

[sesafford]

@Shadow01010011 You Suck! She nailed it bro.

[ALIENstupid]

i dislikes it so much! i needs a man whole deep voice not whimmpy emo country girls voices it killlss its

[LennonCobain456]

Hey I mean its not perfect but at least its getting beatle songs to a new generation

[kliousoff]

She made a good choice. First time I heard her, but She seems a lot better than this bullshit young rockers, emo and etc.

[koolkalee123]

her voice would be nice on a different genre.. but she can't beat Paul McCartneys awesome voice! : )

But yay for this song!

[rafz89]

shouda sang Jefferson Airplane or something

[doubleDdog09]

@rafz89 no it was beatles week they wouldn't let her sing jefferson airplane if she asked..

[davidbowie1987]

Man, this is disgusting...

[rob5000x1]

that was fucking awful, painful to watch...

[lolironmaiden]

shittest cover ever....fucking abomination

[flagranger]

SUCKS

[kid23467]

that was the best she ever sang

[foolishxxgames]

As much as I liked her, it's good she placed eleventh. She got her name out there and she probably would've been miserable throughout the tour. I can't imagine the realest rocker Idol's had Rihanna, heh.

[Makaroni57]

Really bad

[nancy2583]

A real Rock n` Roll princess

[RoomOfMusic]

horrible cover wow i never kno how bad someone can rape a good song

[frazzler9]

Where is she pitchy and off beat?

[ayeeitsmiranda123]

that totally sucked the reason:

they don't let them pick they're

topics it would be so much better

if they let them pick

[ImaginaryVoncroy]

the song is awful quite honestly :S I actually like her, but the song is too bad, the chorus is awful, geez... is this beatles? well... lol... ok...

[EmmaEarthquake]

How about you try and write a better song.

[Esojyorniwa]

Luv her

SIMON=TWAT

[lf1234]

Agreed. What the fuck do any of the judges know about rock anyway?

[boylikegirls345]

agreed

[naitch4life]

randy was in one of the biggest rock bands ever google him cause if you don't know the band i won't make you look bad

[lf1234]

I know exactly who you're talking about and being in that group didn't teach him a damn thing.

[zeldalink3211]

I love the Beatles. This cover...not so much.

[sanadabri]

she is AWESOME!

[VikramT7]

sucks

[6tesGirl]

McCartney didn't kick it up and rock it out like this. Amanda is awesome. He may have been the original to sing this but Amanda's spin is way more intertaining.

[emmarie25]

No one does it better than Paul McCartney.

[Jedi318]

omg. u think shes amazing? rofl i hate her lol

[SHMH123]

she is amazing i am her number one fan

[Dntexerville]

She would have been safe is she would have sung Helter Skelter

[keliata]

ROFL!

[whatsernameC]

I hated it.

[american45idol]

it was awesome

[sztano]

sounds like Tina Turner

[TonyDRuiz]

She Should Have Been On The Tour

[indyindy4ever]

I LUV AMANDA!

[Blaisboy]

she got the lyrics wrong in the first 10 seconds of the song

[pokethunderdude]

She's great at this. One little problem: This is the only thing that she's good at. She wouldn't have made it far, and no way she'd make it past the top 8. I just can't pciture her being inspirational.

[countrySTAR06]

i cant understand a man word that that comes out of that womans mouth

[MaxLeonard509]

there is no blues element in this song, which she killed

[sprtrmp88keys]

"Your tickets aren't on sale yet"

Sounds like Simon didn't go to the awesome show at Whisky, that shit was sold out.

[209musicfan]

Amanda should go on touur. She also should've stayed in longer

[BabyMelissaRoolz]

WOOOO SHE ROCKS

i heard her version of this song BEFORE i listened to the original.... then it dawned on me...

SHE'S WAY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL O_O ID GET TICKETS TO ONE OF HER CONCERTS SHE ROX!!!!!!!

[RHCPFL3A]

omg thats bad..

[shivani1008]

Idol should have had Amanda and Paul McCartney do a duet of this for the finale!! They would have rocked the place!

[actorpd]

She's fantastic.

[doubleDdog09]

shes just like the female taylor hicks, except shes WAAAAAAAAYYYY cooler!

[elgrecomx]

ballads are boring! lulzz

1st idol performance vid i bought on itunes.

[watladyzneed]

Ballads are boring lol

[actorpd]

She's right.

[rshorty91]

i would soooo totally buy her tickets! EVERYBODY SHOULD SUPPORT HER EVEN THOUGH SHE DIDNT MAKE IT!

[undermyskin13]

When everyone was booing Simon after he said Amanda was a mess, I heard a person cheer! GRRR! Amanda's awesome.

[GinaGlocksenFan]

Cook should NOT have won

[kiidso0freshh]

amanda > kristy

[jennnnnnn13]

Amanda > Cook, Archuleta, Carly, Kristy, and all the other people who came before her whos names I don't remember

[Salinacristle]

She should've never been voted off! Instead of her, jason castro, david cook, or kristi lee cook should've went! she was 1 of my favorites!!!!!!! >(!

[jstardude]

She was very good and I hate how the night she hands simons ass to him she gets sent home :(

I also would have loved to see her on the tour

MUCH more than Kristy

[oahoop]

i love this song

[tonymontana2010]

she only got kiked becuase she sang about the ussr

[keliata]

no way. don't forget it was a huge hit with the Beatles and Billy Joel.

[PammyJeanne]

i have notised that every time 1 of the contestants gets like really in to what they are doing they get sent home ... where does that seem fare?!?!?!?! it was amanda first then its jason know it will probibaly be sysha!!

[jcstefan4698]

Jason should have booted long ago. The guy is a jackass. The only reason he stayed on as long as he did is because chicks like his eyes.

[JasonCastroFan797]

why the fuck did she get sent home!!?? america's crazy!

[jcstefan4698]

She got sent home because she wasn't very good. Yes she put effort into it and enjoyed what she was doing but that doesn't mean she was doing it well.

[muzikmafia27]

She's so cool! Reminds me of Gina (in last season, or was it two seasons ago?)!

[JasonCastroFan797]

Gina's my favorite Idol contestant ever(along with Jason)

[osahju914]

she might play janis joplin in her bi opic

[drkchcltmmlvr]

She makes the song good from the original slow dull song but her vioce just ruins it all!!!!!

[kayers2]

She cannot sing and she ruined that song

[greatthoughtthinker]

well done

[bcrusher3]

she definitely brought up a good point that she really wants to show people all she has for the 1:30 she has on stage, however i think people are also interested in how different the contestants are from week to week

[kristaaypwnsyooh]

I liked her. Every other girl was some blonde country singer and we already have enough of those.

[IwannaAMANDAcd]

Amanda Overmyer will be performing at Whisky A Go-Go in Hollywood, CA on May 24th. Visit whiskyagogo dot com, click on the "Featured Events" link to find the banner with all the details.

Tickets go on sale 10:00 AM PST, Monday, April 7th at Ticket Master.

[DonGroucho]

she should still be on the show; she was the pride of North Central Indiana.

[kooterpie]

also- i thought she was great on stuff like "Light My Fire" She could have a hit album with more stuff like that

[kooterpie]

to other posters- i thought she got monotonous and boring...and that she had weak, mediocre vocals at best. Just my opinion...

[skynyrddude8484]

man why'd she have to go so soon? best contestant of this season

[ares0670]

she actually was one of the better contestants, american idol is just a popularity contest now than a singing competition, i was expecting her to be in the top 7 atleast, IMO

[BShortyroxmysox]

i loved her
