You just can't beat Joan Jett she is that fuckin' good. So many female singers overdo it on this one. Joan Jett's delivery is so gutsy and straight. Yeah, the vocal acrobatics are soooooo annoying.
it wasn't bad but the sad thing is that rock singers will never win american idol bcuz its all about how pretty the voise it never matters if the way the person sings in rock voise even if the song makes you wanna jump and dance and scream out "HELL YA!!" but a rock singer will never win american idol i protest this discrimination
she changed some of the lyrics....and her voice doesnt fit the song it sounds like she should be singing country..and the guitar isnt as harsh as it should..it isnt..just..no lol
ok in my opinion she rocks..im 26 and luv rocker chicks..i guess american idol is mostly voted by txting and bla dee bloo bla by teens...lol soooo they gonna vote for the guy tehy think is the hottest no matter if he sucks or not. but this chicks rock..rock n roll aint noise pollution baby. this girl rocks! period!!!
People try to hard to IMITATE their favorite artists, instead of just adding their own style. I like to do "Breakin' the Law" and "You got Another Thing Comin", with my own style and moves. Oh, SIMON thought "it was fantastic". When he IS nice, you know he's being a hypocrite. It SUCKED.
@claras91 Sorry, but that was not a good performance. Her voice was shakey, she sped through it and seemed really nervous. I'm NOT going to compare her to Joan Jett but I honestly don't agree with the judges. As far as rock music goes, it's not that hard a song to pull off so she could have done better.
I thought it was very well done! I challenge any of you idiots like " xxikissedavampirexx" with your negative comments to upload the video responses of you doing better.
Cool that she chose Joan Jett! You can't get more rock n roll than JOAN frikin JETT!!! and yeah, OBVIOUSLY NOONE can do this better than Joan, but bravo for her doing a great job and doing a Joan Jett song justice, UNLIKE BRITNEY!!! Ugh!!!
@amarieoflothlorien I now Amanda. Joan Jett contacted Amanda and congratulated her on doing such a fine job. She wanted to let Amanda sing one of her new songs, but she got eliminated.
I love her voice, Amanda was my favorite that season. I can also see the other side of it though, her voice and style is an acquired taste but I love it. : )
This was perhaps my all time favorite performance of the series - not just the season. Before she performed it, I wasnt all that crazy about the song. She made me dig it.
The arrangement is the problem I think. Seems to me like they changed some of the words for this particular arrangement and it makes it look like she doesn't know the words to those of us who know the original by heart.
why the fuck... omg.. how the fuck can you think that you can change the perfect wordings of a perfect song and get away with it??? ugh. music is dying. it's dying.
have you ever heard the original? if you had you'd be very disgusted by the damage she has done to an amazing joan jett song. god it's so bad and she changed some words!
in an interview, she revealed that she was a bit under the weather during this performance and wanted to get off the stage ASAP...that explains her attitude during the deliberation
Everyone says she would have a limited song choice but she has a big voice, she just didn't want to do it next to Carly and Syesha. I could see her doing Total Eclipse of the Heart and other power ballads. She would've been great on Dolly Parton night. She could've sang a rock song for inspiration. She could've done Mariah like Cook did and she could've done Andrew Lloyd Webber as well. Neil Diamond and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame woul've been a synch for her. Face it, she would've been great!
I read that she said she was sick that day, so she really just wanted to leave the stage as quick as possible and of course, not smiling.
That kind of makes me really happy to hear because she didn't bitch and moan like some of the other contestants did when they were sick, and she still sounded amazing that night.
I just love amanda, like the judges said she authentic, probally the only one, she doesn't have to pretend to be something she's not and she she is a total badass and I love that, love the voice, it's totally original and she don't need american idol to be a star, she is already one!!!!!!!
This is the best song she did on AI - If she would stay with this style, she could be a star. This suited her better then anything else she did on the show!!!
Yea well the judges also praised David Archuleta at everything he did, even though, face it, he didn't have a very big range. So the judges can be wrong. Amanda is the only rocker to ever be on something as crappy as AI...well Bo Bice was alright too, but thankfully, Amanda is off that crapfest, and hopefully will be touring the midwest :D
Just as great as Joan Jett's version
