Razorblade - Zayra

[TaiTheKing1]

Fucking LOVE this, even after 5 years, it's still my fave performance from the show.

[TheCrimsonStrawberry]

bed.

[Wospwosp]

While vocally she wasn't always the strongest because of English not being her first language, I remember that every single song she mixed and made it her own, and made it sound so well. She really was talented and I looked forward to what she was going to do week to week.

[ArcherJoeJoe]

Her accent made it hard to enjoy. I like her style, wish she would have made the song more her own.

[Chellips]

She's so intense <3 ^^

[XserrahXsuicideX]

o.my.god....i feel like crying....i love blue october

[steelryder1]

she butchered it.......

[mmondragon05]

That was the best performance of the entire show.

[TheLILYANNROSE]

I've always had a hard time imagining anyone covering a Blue October song - amazing and a fantastic voice!

[dab0neman]

Listen to her and then listen to Justin sing this live. It's actually pretty damn close if you can ignore the accent.

Zayra was waaay ahead of the curve on that show.  The problem was that none of the hosts or the washed up/burnt out "music" dudes like Tommy Lee or Gilby Clark could figure her out. So she consistently got negative comments from them and that in turn caused us to say, "yeah, she sucks." Just look at the endgame of this whole show. Was a damn CF! Lukas got screwed by a win!

[Xt0tallyXr0cknX]

i cant stand the accent in this song lol

[bbefme]

The accent makes it so much better than the original.

[AtheistaNET]

Long Live Goddess Zayra!

[jammyjo610]

she is the perfect example of someone who is singing in the wrong genre....lluvia de mar was good slightly over the top but that defines an area she is comfortable in

[SternSuperManiac]

She was the best one. They made the absolute worst choice for the winner.

[AnonymousBoy15]

She was my favorite. Love her

[redheaven008]

Personally I didn't think that this performance was all that great (only because I'm a huge Blue October fan) but with that being said, when she made an appearance on Blue's DVD Argue with a Tree to sing Come in Closer with Justin, that was amazing!

[dirtracing7]

she sucks and needs to sing in her country it might sounds better she reminds me of Shakira trying to sing rock.. NO!!

[Arkanix]

She was my fave on the show

[BuckyRay]

That was a terrible performance. The chick can't sing. Doesn't know when to breathe. She slaughtered that song. Great song by Blue October, allow them to do the singing.

[happyface2012]

This was the best most powerful performance of the entire show!!!

[jefftravilla]

Did you see everybody freaking rockin' out during the chorus? This is one of the most powerful, angry, political, sad, painful, and beautiful songs ever written. Justin Furstenfeld is a genius.

[nimrod609]

Weird and badass!

[arizagafabian]

AMAZING!!!!

[dopednb]

AHAHAHAHA what the fuckkk!

very interesting choice & cover

[letterpool]

I love some of the looks gilby and dave had.. like either entranced or wundering wtf it is their listening to they looked like they weren't sure.

I thought this was a cool cover.

[jillybeana]

1:54 always makes me get goosebumps o-o

[HeliosHelleborine]

PYROTECHNIC WILDCAT !!!

[zackmeadows1]

The Bass player sucks balls.

Actually the whole house band(save the drummer) Blows. And the girl sings decentlyonly during the first pre chorus.

[jpmfresno]

Totally disagree!! This was the best performance on the entire show. Band was great....all of them..im a musician and I can tell they were great. This was a live performance...I play drums and bass and i can appreciate this performance from a musicians point of view...Zayra picked the perfect cover and delivered. Its the only performance I remember a week after the show ended.

[babablackcat1]

same... that and tobys orginal lol.... i love toby and daves faces at the preacher bit lol

[SarahnSinnie]

THIS PERFORMANCE DEFFINATELY SHOULD HAVE SAVED HER!

but thats just my opinion

[flyleaf111]

AMAZING!

[sunspotam]

God, I love her, Zayra you are the best.

[Wolfsbane77]

Zayra or Pretty Baby NEEDS to actually record a version of this song!!!

She was amazing!!!

Better than the original im my opinion!

I love Zarya!

[GundamRX7800]

Hahaha, do any of you even know that she actually sings with Blue October on occasion? She's the back up vocals for Come in Closer

[Wospwosp]

I enjoyed this performance. I believe Zayra did a few unforgettable performances over her time on Rockstar. Everybody hurts, 8675309 jenny, her original, and this one.

[BrendanM29]

She was always too good for that competition. So good.

[Rnske]

Do you guys really think that the vocals are bad? I think she kicks ass. She sings it with so much anger. Awesome, really.. Almost as awesome as the original version from Blue October. Almost..

[matorres9009]

@Rnske nah, she sings with that annoying accent that she has. and i hate it. it butchers the song

[0Wylt0]

Awful. Bad vocals, bad timing, bad accent. She got really intense, but that doesn't help the fact that she sucks.

[TheMan434]

bad accent? that is the DUMBEST thing I have ever heard. she IS amazing

[RedceLL1978]

Unimpressed. Entirely. It's funny, they switch to screenshots of other artists like Dave Navarro, and they're just looking at her like.... huh..?

[TaylorHughes]

wow they need a new singer badly. the band is good but vocals need help.

[Ichigo1111]

wow her accent totally messes up the song,horrible

[rockyrivermom]

I never get tired of hearing Zayra sing this. She rocked this song.

[frankiegrrl]

WOW! I must have rewound this on my tivo about 50 times to rewatch it. This chick rocks this song SO hard. When she shrieks and jumps around, it is completely primal and gives me goosebumps. I much prefer her version of this song!!!!

[museaficionado]

what the FUCK are you smoking? her accent completely obliterates this song, and her vocal quality just sucks. She's not even in tune on the higher notes, and she goes flat when she sustains notes. just goes to show that nobody knows what a good vocalist is anymore these days.

[frankiegrrl]

something good...in answer to your question. I enjoy modern vocals, as well as classical ones. You might note I did not say it was a good vocal, but check her performance!! It was good....

[frankiegrrl]

by the way, please do not sing!!!

[alanagrace]

thank you! someone agrees. i think her accent kills it. and Justin does it so good, she killed it. =\

[oCreamo]

Man this is the hottest s*** out there! She gave me chills and I don't dig Rock!

[bollweevilgetout]

In the end this was the best song performance of the season on RSSN. Blue October originally did this song and Z elevated it to a whole different level. Listen to their version and then to what she did to it.

[noinim]

in total agreement. her voice cuts like a razor blade! she's got that Cocteau Twins/Cranberries/Sinead O'Connor effect, which i reeeeeeally dig.

[sonicshadowman]

I had to say goodbye to my scapegoat... :(

[PudreteFanders]

You need a scape goat?,You must be a looser or a coward.Why do you need to use a person to realise your agression?.I Think someone needs a therapist.

[vaguexstitches]

She did a horrible...horrible Job on this song..Another song ruined by Zayra

[idoltyler06]

I still think she grew. Her voice is alot better than Patrice. Patrice gets on my nerves. This was awesom, except those sexual sounds she does. O well. Great Job

[pokematiceric]

horrible. she did horrible on this song...

[bitchcakes]

i love it. i think Daves face at 1:51 says it all.

[oolatin79]

she rocked this one.

[MalikZakiJamesha]

They should've kept her until the final 2 and chose someone else over her. That was we would see her throughout the whole season of the show and she could return to music solo.

[ajbadrep]

Z u need to cover this song on your next album!

[meawesome]

she is de only reason i actualli went searching for de original song...she is soo awesome BUT patrice is gd too

[theraf2u]

Zayra totally kicked this song's ass! Holy shit she needs to write some rock songs and perform them. I really hope she doesn't let herself get typecast into the whole pop music thing (though I suppose she does that well too) because I would love to hear her do more stuff like this.

[Madamow]

She inspired me to listen to the original song, I agree that Patrice should've been eliminated now instead of then, and it should've been Storm that went home tonight. I see the final four being the World Series: Dilana or as I like to call her, Vorstedt (South Africa), Toby (Australia), Lukas(Canada), and Magni(Islands)

[XanderII]

I was blown away from this performance...Did you see the sexy way Gilby looked at her...DOWN GILBY DOWN!!!

[amillionwounds]

Zayra has the most awesome Nina Hagen quality about her. This performance was my favourite of the series.

[evilsorta]

this was the best performance thus far on that show, out of everyone....this song rocked, and z was right in the pocket. just stoopid that she was sent home minutes later and patrice was left standing...that makes no sense.

[Arkanix]

Most powerfull performance done on this show. Check this. Since this aired the original has been downloaded like mad. This means shes go something.

[amihanruiz]

this was a really rockin song. i cant believe they kicked her out for this. patrice sucked so much worse.

[nzdude]

yeah, but the good thing about her not winning is that she can now make an awsome album with songs like this. she kinda reminds me of a rock bjork. cant wait till she makes an album without conforming to particular band style

[flaminkate]

Hell YES!!!! I totally agree. If she fronted SN it would've destroyed her. From a fellow NZdude

[tomrd16]

Well, the hell she rocked on that performance !!!

But now that she's gone that show won't be half as entertaining without her.

[nemoes11]

Vocally, this performance sucks as usual. but she is bizarre awesome. I like her guts and craziness.

[mtlhedty]

shes cool

[afiqrada]

i like this song the best sung by zayra

[angelcar22]

No one can take away the fact that she's an awesome, and energetic performer.  too bad it doesn'ta ll come together when she sings in English as well as when she sings in Spanish.

[joelbermudez]

i agree, so boring without her.

[Bart13man]

This show is going to be so boring without Zayra. Love her or hate her, she is going to be missed.

[loveyouintheface]

you know, i disliked Z in the beginning but she's really proved herself as a great, confident and interesting performer. I think she rocks!
