  • i hate how they half the contestants so fast :/

  • karen rodriguez and paul is not deserving!

  • she sounds nothing like carrie. Ive never heard Carrie hit those notes.

  • why she didnt go to the top 13????

  • to me she sound a little bit like carrie underwood. pretty good vocals!!!

  • Every time i watch this video i promise myself that i won't watch AI ever again! That was the probably the best vocals we've heard all season long, and apparently it's not enough for the wild card? Stupid, shameful decision by the production.

  • she and Lauren Turner should have made the Top 13 instead of Ashthon and Naima

  • I love Kendra and her voice, it was amazing, what Casey did was just SO PERFECT I can't say, but she was GREAT too! Can't see the point of Kendra being eliminated, so sorry!

  • In my mind, they should have eliminated all of the men. If a man can't make it on his own, with all the advantages men have going thru the nightclub and touring scene, he probably doesn't deserve to be in the business. Some of the guys were good this year, but the women were in a different league. I would love to have seen a contest between Haley, Lauren, Naima, Thia, Pia, and Kendra.

  • ALL THE GIRLS WERE SO GOOD HOW CAN YOU CHOOSE . IT WAS A HARD CHOICE!!!!

  • Man, I love her voice!

  • hmm theres a few people that shud of gone home before kendra...im just sayn

  • haha casey sang it better

  • I would have chosen her. You dont find too many white girls that know how to " GO TA CHURCH"

  • Kendra is a good singer...but this is not Top 13 material..is better that she stays in that position because if she was picked up....she will end like Ashton....I'm not being rude with her....actually she has a pretty voice but lacks Top 13 material......So for me...She deserved to being cutted.......

  • @xxFromRussiaWithArt are you kidding me? Half of the top 13 can't even sing as well as she does.

  • @iheartiker Half can't sing? The only who can't sing is Paul, Jacob is Annoying, Scotty's voice is annoying too. Kendra is really a good singer but she lacks in so many things like presence, no energy at the time she sangs, she is serious and she doesn't have motivation. Just like Ashton.

  • wow they really robbed this girl she shouldve switched places with scottie cuz he sucked

  • I loved Kendra but all u stupid Cunts saying she is better than Haley are tone deaf retards lol. Why when ever girl doesnt make it through Haley gets fucking blamed, stupid jealous bitches. Lauren was mediocre most of the season lol why dont u bitches say her. Some of u people seriously need to go kill yourself lol. Ur ignorance is disturbing

  • way better than haley

  • Effin idiots. Compare this to Scottie. Seriously.

  • Her and Robbie Rosen should have definitely been chosen instead of Ashton and Naima.

  • LOVE HER!!!

  • i remember watching this with my jaw down to the floor

  • Seriously - when a person watches this you realize AI is completely lacking of any credibility ... this girl could actually sing, unlike some of the ones who went through. I wish her well.

  • I am absolutely, completely, entirely, and angrily stunned that Kendra didn't get put through. What an amazing performance.

  • love the leather pants Kendra is wearing, it's not very often you see someone on Idol wearing leather pants

  • I would have been happy to replace Naima and Ashthon with Kendra and Lauren Turner in the Top 13

  • kendra doesn't even deserve to be in the wildcard, .She's awesome

  • Kedra doesn't even deserve to be in the wildcard

  • the wild card shoulda been kendra, robbie, and stefano...just my opinion :D

  • i think kendra ashthon naima . all of three should in top 13

    and karen and thia should not

  • damn dis was the best performance of the season i think....DAMN!!!!

  • I liked the performance. I really did but there were several things wrong with it.

    It started too low to understand her then she had to wait for the big notes to make the song interesting. At the end of the song, she had three parts where it ended but the music never stopped playing. I think she knew this based on her interview afterwards where she said she wasn't sure how it went. The ending took a lot away from the performance because of her expression and her uncertainty.

  • I big time agree!!!! she should be chosen.

  • I agree - everytime I watch this it proves to my how little credibility AI has ... the top 2 were brutal and this girl can actually SING

  • Hmm This is proof it was fixed, You can see how hard the judges were trying not to react, and the look in their eyes showed you how much they really loved the performance, nobody could contain themselves after this performance man thats why she got a standing ovation. I knew someone who was on one of these types of shows, she killed it for the final 12 and everyone KNEW she was in, however she was a 40 y.o mother of 5 and they went for the 16 y.o to cover tht demographic. She was told this too!

  • i hope she continues to pursue her career cause damn her voice has so much soul and power to it. like haley, she can do anything with that voice! and yeah biggest rob ever, aside from haley not making it to the top 2, fuck lauren.

  • They wasted so much time selecting a little rainbow coalition, instead of who was truly talented. She deserved the top 12.

  • @adjoadjo So true, if they had chosen the contestants based on talent alone, I bet the finale would be amazing..

  • @adjoadjo This is ABSOLUTELY true. Kendra was SOOOOOOOOOO much better than Naima, Ashton or Stefano. The second Ashton was made the #12 and then they said they were going to add a 13th and it was .....Naima? I thought.....oh, my there is definitely a quota to fill. Listen...I understand and admire that the producers are far more colorblind than the American voting public is (tisk, tisk), but it really compromised the talent level not having Kendra on the show. Top 4 finisher, at least!

  • 1:56 omg it's like hearing Alcia Keys in Fallin'

  • Randy seems racist,,, im saying this and im black lol. he dont like Haley or this girl because hthey have so much more soul that Ashton

  • she didn't get the wildcard because she didn't need the wildcard.

  • She was a lot better than some who made it, in my opinion. I certinally think she deserves a record deal of some sort. She is the total package.

  • seriously judges?!?! is it like the only blonde girl you all like is lauren? cuz kendra is a zillion times better than naima & ashton! i mean she killed both her songs and naima and ashton SUCKED! i mean i understand that you didnt wanna look bad by no black girls but ya couldve only picked one instead of both! (im not racist im justt sayin KENDRA HAS GOT SKILL!)

  • wow america... she is better than pia, haley, thia, karen, ashton, scotty, lauren, naima, stefano, jacob........ etc... JUST WOW.

  • @chiopeefillin I think she's just equally as good as people like Pia and Haley... they were both amazing. You're allowed to have you're opinion though, and so am I.

  • i would rather kendra than Lauren

  • UNTIL NOW IM STILL THINKING THAT KENDRA SHOULD BE IN THE TOP 13 INSTEAD OF ASHTON AND NAIMA...THE ONLY REASON I HAVE NOW FOR THE JUDGE NOT PICKING KENDRA IS THAT NO BLACK CHICK MADE IT ON THE TOP 10...

  • she is even better than pia...!!!

    she could be the one right now....

  • They picked Ashton's dud over this show stopping performance?

    Dopey show.

  • how could hayley be better than her?

  • @sonji1 because of haley's AMAZING range and she can sing A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G but i not gonna lie....kendra is amazing as well

  • @Bdela13 LOL.... Haley's interesting, but she can't sing ANYTHING... she must up a lot in the beginning - there is a lot she can't pull off

  • @Bdela13 I like Haley too, but she couldn't even sing the low parts of the verse in the Alanis song. Haley has to have the right song. Kendra was better than Haley at this point. But both of them should have made it over Ashton or Naima.

  • She's awesome! I love her, Really would of love to her and pia heat up the competition!

  • @honeybunny1228 I AGREE PIA AND KENDRA

  • shes exactly like HALEY!! hahhahha except better than haley (:

  • SHe is amazing... She has one of the best voices ever in AI!

  • Best Season, overall at least, if a person like her gets kicked out this early. And idk about anybody else..but Ellen was a joke, she didn't say jack that was helpful

  • They really have a poor panel of judges right now.. I prefer Simon, JLo and Ellen for the panel.. they were the only ones who can really give constructive criticisms.. Ellen jokes around but if you would listen to her comments, they are actually decent and constructive.. JLo, best description: way better than Paula or Kara.. Simon, no need to tell.. Although the talent is overwhelming this is the worst season by far.

  • believe it or not, this is the 99th and i will click the video over and over.

  • I like her! :]]

  • kendra should be in rather than ashton or naima

  • i wish she went through over naima and ashton although i must admit pia is still my fav! for sure pia and kendra should have both mad it to at least top 5!

  • Biggest robbery in AI history?

  • @nickj116 the biggest robbery history was when Rachel Zevita didn't make a wild card shot.

  • SIMON COME BACKKKKKKK

  • they are so fake ! the judges they loved her performance and gave a face of like amazement and she still did not get in ! like wth

  • I was so angry that they didn't pick Kendra. I stopped watching for weeks... Just now picking it up again.

  • @mandi7911 It only got worse ever since.. probably the worst top 5 ever right now...

  • Still makes me mad they didn't choose her after this performance ... someone please sign her.

  • Can't believe the judges wasted two slots for Naima and Ashton. And look what happened, they got kicked out early in the competition. If only Kendra's still in the competition, things would be more interesting and American Idol voters would be more baffled and addled in voting! And that's a fact! KENDRA PLEASE BE FAMOUS SOON BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT!:D

  • so, who's Pia's Toscano again?

  • why she didnt make it through i wont ever get ! they kicked out amazing people like jc this show is so fake sometimes

  • This is when American Idol was on FIRE! but now :( different story

  • I don't know what pissed me off more... Kendra not making the top 13 or the judges putting in Thia, Ashton, and Naima over her. How does "a good tone," "a diva," and "Jamaican flavor" trump good singing? Wasn't this supposed to be a singing contest in the end? That used to be their motto before Simon left.

  • @chicapees Thia was put in by the public. But I agree Kendra is MUCH better than Naima, not even close

  • It still disgusts me how stupid the judges were in the wild card choices - seriously - watch this and then watch Naima, Ashton and Stefano's performances ... the judges obviously didnt base it on the actual wild card performances because this is by far superior ...

  • if she was in .. i don't think pia would be my favorite. My god judges were so dumb choosing ashton. BIG mistake, she could've been the AMERICAN IDOL

  • She was robbed. I can't believe they send Naima through instead of her.

  • I'm still mad that she didn't get picked!

  • WASTED!!!!! she's super good.

  • how the hell did naima,kendra, and stefano get ahead of kendra. she should have gone way further. not fair. i hope she tries again next year. or especially above ashton. she made me cringe on the rihanna song. was horrible

  • how the hell did naima,kendra, and stefano get ahead of kendra. she should have gone way further. not fair. i hope she tries again next year.

  • Can't believe she didn't carry on through.................ULTIMA­TELY THE BEST VOICE this season. SIMON would agree

  • She would still be here if they had put her through. I know it. :(

  • This girl was really robbed. She is better than Naima and Kendra without a doubt. Well she'll add to the two other robbed females this season (Karen and Pia)

  • @VeeRazzles I totally agree with you!!!! I so loved Karen and Chantelle!!! I miss Robbie and Jovanny too!!!! stupid judges!!!

  • @skye2403 Yeah and btw, I wrote "Naima and Kendra" but I meant to write Lauren.

  • Ugh!!!! Every time I keep going back to this video, I still get that empty feeling of something missing from the last singers left. 13 singers were picked, and she wasn't one of them? WTF?!?!?!?!

  • at the 1;58 min, she sounds like Alicia Keys singing Fallin'. I don't understand why she didn't make through, she's amazing.

  • I loved kendra -sigh-

  • BRING KENDRA BACK!! OMG!

  • YO MAMA DICK OUT THERE GET HER BACK

  • She was robbed. This makes me so angry every time I watch it and know they picked all the people they did from the wild cards ... I want her to keep doing what she does and to show AI what they missed out on!

  • Don't get me started on the injustice, just don't...

  • Kendra should audition for the X Factor!!!!!!!!!!! :-((

  • @cooolness3 YES! If I saw her on the show, I would literally faint.

  • Kendra should have been chosen for the wild card spot rather than both Ashton & Naima . That is my opinion, anyway!

  • I was mad at the judges overlooking her and picking Ashton, bad enough Haley had made the top 10.

  • @negronomics a mess lol, i love haley, but i think kendra shouldve made it over ashton, kendra cleary deserved a spot, hope she still keeps singing because ill buy her album

  • HOw didnt Kendra get the wild card she was one of the best here.

  • She would give Pia a run for her money if she was in the Final 13.. Don't get me wrong I still love Pia but this was an unbelievable performance!

  • UNBELIEVABLE!! I wish Simon was here to vote...............there is no doubt he wouldn't let this JEM go. She has the x Factor and is the better vocalist out of them all. The women of course and most of the men

  • I agree with sultan1122 singing isn't all about belting notes. I loved hearing Kendra's lower register. In fact, I enjoyed the whole performance and wish she was picked to move on...

  • seriously. Those "new" judges messed up from the beginning. She is amazing. Those saved already gone. It's a crying shame. However, I think we will see more of her - I hope we do.  I LOVE her voice.

  • ashton gone in top 13, now naima gone in top 11 week 2... i mean.. kendra would've atleast made the top10 .. i still can't believe that they chose those two noobcakes over kendra

  • @Shevaldinho123 your right this girl can sing and had one of the better voices in competition.

  • This in my opinion was more than worthy of a Wild Card save. It really was a shame to see her go.

  • After hearing this, i cannot believe she did not make it..... Playing favorites is understandeable to a certain extent, but this was unbelievable. The Wild Card selection was a total mess. FIrst time I missed Simon.

  • I'm STILL upset she didn't make it!!!

  • it's *cking crazy how she didn't make it. beside's pia, she is the best sounding gal.

  • Why the hell did Ashton get the spot. Smh.

  • p.s.-she has one of the clearest and most powerful and intriguing lower registers of any singer ive heard.......such a dissapointment for american idol passing her up

  • why the hell did ashton get her spot again......ashtons goneeeeeeee..kendra coulda been in the top 10 easyyyyy as butter shes way more talented that scotty and that mexican guy.......shes sooo vocally talented and gorgeousss..i am shocked and upset lol

  • @coolness46123 there is no mexican guy in the competition

  • if simon was there still kendra would have made it but the judges suck 

  • Range.

  • Still can't believe they didn't choose Kendra. Even THE Kelly Clarkson was amazed at this performance. She tweeted about it. Gosh.

  • Shes fantastic, i was so upset when she dint make it. But its okay she has a few original songs that are really good. so hopefully she'll make it big. love her.

  • She makes me cry hearing her voice, and knowing she didn't make it. She would have been a force to be reckoned with. Her and Pia would have been the ones to beat, but I feel she would have beat Pia.

  • yea she desrved a top position hands down...judges wurnt thinkn rite

  • I can't believe she didn't get chosen! Unfortunately I think she didn't choose the perfect song. The song took too long to peak. I'm sure she'll be just fine without American Idol though.

  • why didnt they pick kendra ashton was not strong enough to last long and she was eliminated first different then kendra but I think the reason they picked her over kendra was so a fan favorite or someone with talent would not go first

  • randy shud have chosen kendra!

  • everytime i see this vid i get pissed all over again!! they gave this up for a bitch in a dishiki and a hoe with a nappy weave??!! really!! smh

  • I think the reason why the judges didn't choose kendra is because they wer thinking that it was easy for kendra to be discovered without using AI. they just want to give the losers a chance, so they can have a shining moment on their lives too. but, it's still unfair. :|

  • Big Mistake of the Judges right here! Kendra should have been in the top 13...really can't get over this travesty

  • I feel like puking that they didn't put her through. They should use their wild card and bring her back now ... and surprise surprise ... Ashton's already been voted off ... Naima's been in bottom 3. I want Kendra Chantelle back.

  • I was glad she got picked for the Wild Card round but was sorry to see her leave. I enjoyed hearing her lower register and the whole performance in general. If she releases an album, I'll buy it. Love her voice. I would've picked her over Ashton honestly. Ashton just hasn't been performing to her whole potential.

  • You know she should have made it,. I cant stop watching this performance! It was badass

  • it's ridiculous she didn't get a wild card. absoluteley ridiculous.

  • @stellhaar I completely agree. i was so mad wen she didnt make it in2 the top 13!

    this performance is SO good

  • @stellhaar 100% agree with you

  • i love kendra but i like ashton better but kendra prooved that she is not just a soft singer a really loud one too

  • I cant believe they picked Ashton & Naima over her...she was the best girl & Jovany should have made it too.....I bet Jennifer picked Stefano, Randy picked Ashton & Steven felt sorry for Naima cause she cried so he picked her....which really sucks..i think it should have been Stefano, Kendra & Jovany...judges got it wrong again!!!!

  • they wasted the one wild card slot to ashton

  • evey year American Idol Judges makes a big mistake. every year. this is one of them... how can u possibly think ashton is better???????

  • i think they made a huge mistake not picking her she is really a good good singer and i wish her the best of luck in the future.

  • She really doesn't NEED American Idol.... she's good enough to go pro on her own.

  • is obviously rigged. clint and tim didn't even get a chance

  • Wtf...how was ashthon chosen over Kendra after this performance. chillb umps all the way down. she is a machine!

  • her last screech is what steven tyler would sing

  • WHY THE FUK ON EARTCH OF EACH MOTHERCUKER NIGGA BICHES DID SHE NOT MAKE IT ! WHO the Fuk is Aston ....Her voice is MOTHERUFKING NO WHERE NEAR this GOD DOWN TO EARTH VOICE AND BEAUTIFUL GIRL KENDRA ! HELL SHJIT MOLY , SOMEONE BIG COMPANY NEED TO SIGN FOR HER NOWW ! WE NEED HER C.D NOW MOTHERFUKJER ! BICHES ASS WHOLE DICK !

  • @RedDevilsChicha14 ok that was a little too much

  • anyway Ashton was gone now ! MUAHAHAHAHHAHAH !!!!! FUCK U BICHES !

  • Me too!!! I couldn't believe they didn't call Kendra name!! That girl can SANG. I'm still upset about it.

  • I'm so mad they didn't pick her and Robbie over the others. It should have been Kendra, Robbie, and Ashton.

  • She should have made it.

  • very upset she went home, i voted for her like crazy. and then to see them pick naima over kendra was ridiculous!

  • i can't believe she's eliminated! wrong decision.

  • amazing performance

  • besides pia (who should win) kendra was the best female vocally!!!!

  • I am not able to watch the show I saw just the begining I do not understand why not all singers sing together...anybody can explain please? thanks

  • Kendra should have TOTALLY stayed over Ashton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must have been a selection based on racial numbers. Otherwise, what the heck?! Makes no sense! It's a shame.

  • she should of made the top 13 umph oh well

  • I JUST LOVE HER SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!! I really cant understand there's any reason for the judges not picking her????!!! god,she's so amazing! American Idol is a waste of time for her! Cuz she's already a DIVA!

  • Kendra deserved that spot, Haley would have never gotten a wild card spot if people didn't vote for her

  • Kendra and Robbie should have gone on, but noooo they did not. The audience even gave Kendra a standing ovation.

  • HOLY SHIT... I MEAN... HOLY SHIT....

    Amaaaaaaziiinggg...god i love his perfect singing skills..

    Slow sensual vibrato.... then those really high notes and those melismas.. GOD...

    Fan #1 right here folks <--- :)

  • I have no clue why people are hating on Ashton. I don't think she has an attitude problem at all. I think it's a misconception that the judges gave off. She was cheering excitedly and crying when Pia performed, that is not an attitude problem or diva-like.

    I think when she performs, she has swagger and confidence, which is perceived as "diva" and "attitude" to some people. That said, Kendra should've gone through based on this performance. I think the choices were pre-determined though.

  • Last 3 should have been Kendra, Stefano, and Emily Anne Reed.

  • She got soooooooooo screwed. Wow I couldnt believe it when I saw this

  • KENDRA!!! why? huhuhuhuhuhu :(

  • ashton definitely have no chance of surviving the first elimination but after this performance kendra definitely can stay in the competition for quite a while!

  • Can't stop replaying 1:50 - 2:20

  • I still can't believe she didn't make it..What were the judges thinking?!

  • Seriously, Naima and Ashton were HORRIBLE compared to her! She has such an amazing voice!!!! I am still FURIOUS.
