  • Yup season 4 had too much talent, and season 5 didn't have enough. she would have destroyed taylor and katharine mcphee

  • Thats the winner of american idol for me.... what a voice

  • I saw another rendition of her doing this song at RnB live on youtube and it was even better than this. I didn't think it couldn't get too much better but it does lol.

  • who were really flawless vocalists and he praised them. Her case was like Trenyce in season 2, Simon didn't like her too. Maybe it was because Simon's command of judging to voters but I think it really has nothing to do with racism. It's about how best singer you are and how marketable contestant you are to the market. Simon is really judging truly wherein I was amazed in his prediction after Carrie's "Alone" performance that she can sold millions of albums after Idol.

  • I remember because against all odds she made it to top 3 her family was always there for her no matter how Simon disliked her to win but Carrie. Simon threw bad negative comments to her although her performances were above okay. I think Simon was right she just have an incredible range and nice personality but kinda pitchy whereas there were flawless black women singers Simon admired in the early seasons like Tamyra Grey in season 1 and Latoya London in season 2.....

  • @nikaledesma But he realized he was in America, and here, white MOST white ppl dont buy albums 'black' albums...even the ones he so adired before he realized where he was

  • This Girl Rocked! She should've won. I listened to Fantasia's rendition just now, And Vonzell outsang Fantasia and outperformed her.

  • what a lovely voice and a lovely personality. i wish you could visit the Philippines. you inspire me to never give up singing. god bless vonzell

  • Best cover I've ever heard... She has so much energy! And sounds so clean, most of singers usually scream a lot. I like screaming but here she "screamed" with class

  • If vonzell would have waited untl season 5 and Carly Smithson would have made it through season 5 it would have been an awesome season!!!!

  • SO MUCH TALENT

  • after season 4 and with the exception of the davids season, AI has become completely shit. standard dropped so vastly. :(

  • american idol is so rigged she should have won.

  • She isn´t sanger? :(

  • the best is comon at home:DD

  • :DD beautifull...:) Respect! It´s best song in fer song

  • i wish there was studio version of this song! Love you vonzell! you're my american idol!

  • I think she'd have won if she'd sing better and didn't shout things in the middle of her song. I mean "put your hands together"... Is there anything more lame to say in the middle of a song?

  • Nice voice! Go check out my AMAZING 15 year old sister at "Dola singing Chain of Fools"! Thanks!

  • The problem is that Vonzell is amazing doing these classic R&B/Soul jams...better than any other diva on Idol (maybe save Fantasia in some instances)....but like most Idol musicians, you get them in a studio, and produce something for them, it turns out mediocre. And it's not the Idols' fault. The golden age of songwriting is behind us...that's what's sad.

  • shess soo goood

  • awesome:)

  • i luv vonzell. when she got cut i stopped watchin american idol

  • lol Yes

  • Should have been Vonzell and Bo in the final. I can't stand Carrie Farmbot no rhythm Underwood

  • OH MY GOD!!!!! SHE SHOULD HAVE WON...... ONLY REASON WHY SHE DIDN't WAS BECAUSE TWO BLACK PEOPLE WON TWO YEARS IN A ROW...... She Was Black THATS THE REAL REASON Man...... I mean the girl that won over her what the fuck is SHE DOing RiGht NOw..... Honestly......CAUSE I NEVER HEARD OF THE bitch......not too be mean BUT ITs TRUE..... she proly ain't even doin nothin now. NOthing BIG at Least.... like SOME of the other American Idol artist.... the ones that we still know.....

  • carrie Underwood won over her,and she's everywhere! i was a huuuge Vonzell fan,&she's comming out with an album soon.but Carrie Underwood is huge in the country music.

  • CARRIE UNDERWOOD SUCKZ

  • ASSHOLE

  • bitch i aint nan one of these blacks folks who let white ppl say shit to me i will whip yur ass n wont think twice bout it carrierox1031.....bitch yu gon get it i will cum find yur ass..

  • fuck carrie since dat white bitch under me wanna talk shit wit her nasty ugly ass

  • i dont even know what your trying to say:S

  • da girl dat was under me was sayin smart shit

  • dude, calm the eff down. geez. you never heard of carrie underwood??? you don't know that she's the MOST SUCCESSFUL of everyone that has stepped on the AI platform as far as sales are concerned? You haven't heard how many grammy's she's won? You haven't heard that she's worth over $15million one of the most successful female artists? CALM THE EFF DOWN, its a show and I'm sure Vonzelle is doing GREAT in her career right now. ugh, ignorant.

  • Actually Kelly Clarkson is the most successful in terms of sales... And Carrie Underwood is kind of unknown outside the U.S.

  • $15 million? Why are you doubling her actual net worth of approx. $7 million?

  • @dipeza

    Oh My God, i can't believe im reading this, UNDERWOOD THE MOST SUCCESSFUL OF ALL THE CONTESTANT TO HAVE GRACED THAT STAGE?

    As far as talent is concerned , cd sales don't matter, otherwise BSPears is pure genius.

    As far as sales are concerned Kelly clarkson is by far the first. She's also the most famous. And please remember that outside the US NOONE knows Carrie whereas kellys had had *1 in Europe, Asia, Australia etc.

  • I agree,Kelly is known world wide and she is definitely a diva in the diva group of Mariah,Withney,Celine,Lara Fabian,Aretha,Patty Labelle,Jennifer Hudson(new but a rising star),Leona Lewis,Christina Aguillera,Tina turner etc..Carrie is a great singer and I think she can push her voice if she wants to.Unfortunately for Kelly,Carrie is now considered a bigger star,because she keeps comming up with hits after hits and they're all high on the billboard's chart and Kelly's only had one in 3 years.

  • Hit after hit? I think Carrie has had maybe two mainstream hits, Kelly has had at least 8, including a recent number one. In my opinion no other idol contestant will ever be able to out perform her because she set the path. Simon has said the the show was lucky to find her and not the other way around, and I agree. As for Vonzell, I felt she was more of a star than Carrie. They are obviously very different and hard to compare, but Vonzell has more personality as a performer.

  • Ok I'll agree with you on the show having been lucky to have found her as she sets off the success for the following shows thru her own success.But Carrie Underwood IS the most successful american idol in the US so far,she has sold 11 millions albums as of 11/2009 surpassing Kelly Clarkson by 800,000 units,she also has 8 number one hits,but Kelly You're right remains the best selling artist world wide by 23 millions albums(us and abroad)Carrie only 14 millions(wikepedia lol..)

  • @dipeza

    and besides carrie can only sing pop/country with an inch of rock in it.

    She sold a lot because she got more promo than kelly (show had less ratings, viewers etc) Kelly made this show, all the judges have said she is the best.

    When carrie will be able to sing songs from any genre and bring the house down we'll talk about her being one of the best. IMO she shouldn't have won, she's talented but vonzell's far more interesting. After this season, i got gutted and stopped watchin AI

  • LOLLLLLLLL Never heard of Carrie Underwood??? LOL i don't even listen to country and of course i've heard of Carrie Underwood.

    This comment made me laugh.

    But i did love vonzell on the show. i voted for her :] Carrie Underwood is pretty darn good too.

  • @cbx25 are you an idiot.. the girl who won over her has sold the most albums in the US, won the most awards, and makes the most money out of all the idols from 10 seasons.. I know you like vonzell but dont be stupid..

  • @VanilleAlistair

    I musician for 35 years. Carrie Underwood did not win this competition she picked to win because Simon wanted access to the a country market. Please listen objectively and you will her the quality difference.

  • wow i didnt realize how fuckin good she sang

  • how could taylor win but vonzell couldnt....if she was in season 5 she would have won

  • @NIGELTHA1andONLY , maybe not season 5, seeing as how ridiculous the results turned out that year.

  • @NIGELTHA1andONLY we all know why she didnt win .....

  • I think she would have won if she waited to audition for season 5

  • no way, that rabid soul patrol would've beat anyone, she would've been robbed then too. I think she could've won season 2, or maybe season 6.

  • True, the Soul Patrol was crazy. ugh I really disliked Taylor -_-

  • yeah, it's really annoying how he can win, but Vonzell doesn't.

  • Over Ruben or Melinda? I'm not so sure.

  • Over Chris Daughtry? America's love affair with Katharine McPhee? This show isn't about Talent- its about popularity.

  • You are so right, about the popularity of the show. Sometimes it makes me wonder.

  • i agree to disagree

  • @DancingFan28 No because season 5 since had Daughtry and Elliot.

    I think Vonzell could have won season 8 or 9

  • @LiquidJello090 season 8 had Adam Lambert hahaha

  • I missed this season BUT She's GOOD!

  • SHES HOTT LOVEN DEM HIPS =-]

  • baby v is so freakin gorgeous....I could look at that smile all day :-)

  • she didnt win, because america cant get over the fact that there's this many black people with amazing voices. the white people need there lil shine. and thats ashame, she shouldve wonnn ! :]

  • I'm white but I agree, lots of black singer has incredible voices,but it's more rare for white singers...

    That's my opinion but some people will of course disagree.

  • y didnt she won?

  • Cause a "down-home" little, white blonde won that season...Carrie Underwood.

    I thought she should have won too.

  • watch?v=6kWdfeb6oG8

  • Why does she always stick her hand out?

  • Alright Vonzell sing the song...

  • Vonzell was much better vocally and put much more personality on this!

  • vonzell is best at this song... Period. Now syesha was best of that season and one of best idols in history imo definitely but not better than vonz. She sits at a tier on her own. IMPECCABLE VOCALS

  • i think so too, but we didn't get to hear the whole performance

  • i got to hear all of it... she sang this song on another competition that prior to idol. Called The One or something like that, but still nowhere near vonzell.

  • well yeah but i mean we didn't hear the whole thing on idol... we heard it on The One, but she was younger then, you can tell in the difference of clarity in her voice whewn she sang it on The One vs. American Idol, and on Idol it was stronger, so yes, she is near vonzell

  • Yea ur right she did actually get better for idol. but even if you compare syesha singing it to vonzell's audition when she sang chain of fools, the way she orchestrated her vocals was better. And she didnt even have to do a strong finish like she did the other times. So i think even then she wouldnt have been near her.

  • well if you really think syesha is one of the best idols ever like you say then you most likely wouldn't be dissing her in the slightest

  • Not really. People like syesha, fantasia, jhud, elliot, tamyra, david archuletta, paris bennet, etc. are in my top fav too. i jus think no one on idol comes close to vonzell... i understand many people would disagree with that statement but hey thats my opinion. Like i previously stated i think she sits at a tier of her own. Thats not dissing syesha, its like saying that you're a huge fan of Beyonce but believing that her vocals dont come close to

    Whitney Houston.

  • K, as long as you include Katharine on that list?!!?

  • Idk about Kat... but she was real good. i know for sure she's in my top fav. for best auditions cause that was REAL good. but as the season progressed she impressed me a little but not enough to be in my top fav. She has good control, but she cant tackle any and every genre and kill it like all my other favs IMO. I like her though, jus not my fav. she's like in the group of people that i jus thought had good voice and stage presence. Not the best to me.

  • ok well.. i think she is the greatest of the great and was robbed not winning over taylor hicks!

  • she definitely was way better than taylor but not some others of the season who are my favs.

  • oh well our opinons differ there i guess. aha

    because i believe katharine was the best of her season. and i think she is my favorite of all seasons

  • yep they do differ there. But hey at least we both love the vonz

  • wonderfull!!!

  • This is great! And she is having so much fun too!

  • OMG i forgot how good ogirl could sing!!! This is the best performance of this song i've ever heard (bedides aretha of course)

  • see my version of this song

    watch?v=vc1rIrRZI3g

  • It was removed, so how can we?!?!?!?!?

  • ive always loved vonzell solomon i cant believe she doesnt have a cd or anything..wtf!

  • She does, it's called "My Struggle".

  • i met vonzell at a 7 eleven, shes from fort myers, like me in florida, i know her brother and mom, shes gorgeous in person

  • i miss contestants like vonzell. the ones who really interact with the audience.

  • I really loved fantasia's version of this

  • I liked the version on The Committments better!

  • holy crap how did Carrie U. beat her??? i'll bet Carrie couldn;t do this song and bounce around because unlike Vonzell, Carrie is a doorknob when it comes to performing!!

  • yah, carrie has a great voice, but vonzell can perform! Carrie just sits there =p

  • yeah but vocally carrie chose songs that people couldn't necessarily compareher to the greats and that gave her an advantage because it was as if she invented a great version of the song

  • Rameile's voice is a amazing too, they did not gave her enough publicity and the choice of songs did not really show her talent that much. One thing though, Rameile has a beautiful Asian face. I hope she will go back home (Philippines) and make it big there just like Jasmine Trias.

  • carrie should not have won, she could sing, but not better than vonzell. Carrie won because she had pretty good vocals, but most of all she is white. No offense, but race was a big factor on this show.

  • absolutely! this is the first time I herad this girl sing and I am blown away. Her Tamyra, and Latoya Johnson are my new discovery.  all three of them can sing their hearts out. I guess great vocalists will never get the AI titile.

  • Fantasia---- Black! Jordin----- BLACK! who gives a shit about race!!! OMG why is this card played at all! I'm so sick of it... season 6 it was as if you had to be a black girl TO WIN! The factor on AI isn't your skin color... it's your popularity and if you watched the show you would know that! Vonzell did not start garnering major fans until the top 12 while carrie started getting major reviews back in the top 24... that's why at the top 3 she beat out vonzell.. not because of her color.GROW UP

  • What world do you live in? You are right in saying popularity determines who will win, you are wrong in saying skin color doesn't. Unfortunately we live in a society where skin color determines popularity. The two are connected. You say you're sick of it but by pretending it doesn't happen you're adding to the problem. Oh, and Jordin is as white as a black person can be.

  • Cut the BS, in season 3 where people really used the racism card because Latoya was voted off, who were the top 3? An asian, a black, and a white girl. Who won? Fantasia. What kind of Racism is that? There's so many successful black singers, stop playing the victim card. It seems to me that many people believe that if a person is black, they are entitled to win. Vonzell deserved to be in the top 3, not because she was black, but because she could sing.

  • You're going to sit there and pretend like race doesn't determine how popular someone is in our society? Just look at the presidential campaigns and polls where people openly admit that they won't vote for Obama just because he's black. And I don't play the victim card because quite frankly I could not care less what any of "you" think. I do however hate people, like you, who are totally deluded and perpetuate racism by pretending it doesn't exist.

  • she's undeniably good but i think carrie had the total package.

  • ramiele's good she just picked horrible songs

  • Right when she said chaaaaiin, she started lik bouncin lol

  • she sdoes a good job on this. But needs a bit more dirt in her voice. Otherwise she seems to sing a bit to sterile for this song. But she-IS-good!

  • Vonzell, LaToya and Kim Locke are the best idols ever!

  • love vonzell

    hmm i wonder whatever happened to celelbrity judges for the top 12?

  • ramiele doesnt suck!!! She was deffinately good enough for the tour so shut up! And Syesha ROX!! So does Vonzell, and Latoya.

  • there go my cousin

  • anyway....i already visited this page.... i will say that vonzell rocks?? she is so talented!!!! so don't lose hope...in singing just have a well disciplined practice,,, God Bless again!!!

  • i hope that this wont be offensive to others.. just an opinion.

  • pls be reminded that all human beings here in this world have their own talents so we should respect that.before anything else, before judging others, we should prove our own talent first and nobody wants to be compared with others. in reality there is much better than the one., isn't it? peace out.. just be fair. God Bless!!

  • she is the best female vocals of all season by mile... second will be ramiele malubay.. hehe..

  • syesha san this in audition and also the best! same with vonzie.. but dont say that ramiele is not good.. suck ur dick biatch!

  • there is melinda doolittle syesha mercado tamyra gray and latoya london .. carly smithson is up there same has vonzell

  • I think she would sound good singing Duffys version of this (its called Mercy)

  • she was one of the best preformers of the whole season....and many others!! I love her!

  • you mean "specific"

  • this still was one of the best performances of the whole season, and btw the contestants don't have a choice in the matter they have to sing those songs and it will never change because people like hearing songs they are familiar with on idol so they can compare because in some cases they do as good or better than the original (this is one of those cases)

  • What are you talking about? Very rarely are songs written to match a vocalists range. In fact, very rarely does the vocalist even WRITE their own music. And what are the contestants SUPPOSED to sing if not songs by other artists?! They haven't written any of their own material. Do you expect them to all get up there and sing traditional songs and Oscar Mayer jingles?

  • Wow, you have no idea what you are talking about. Aretha Franklin's songs weren't written just for her. If you have a problem with people covering other singer's songs then tell Aretha that, because lots of her songs were originally recorded by others, most notably Natural Woman was originally sung by the writer but Aretha covered it. And Vonzell is not trying to sound like Aretha, but she still sounds amazing.

  • omg...i luv her voice!!!

  • Why didn't she win?! I love her voice.

  • I'm not wild about Vonzell but I must admit that this is BRILLIANT.

  • she is hella good! wow. this was the year of the talent.

  • Vonzell is a brilhant singer, i prefer this version than the original but Aretha its amazing too.

  • This is an "experience" song. Anyone with the "experience" can sing it, so is an...a..."attitude" song....LOL. And Aretha made it!

  • Your ignorance is astounding. Go listen to some Aretha. This girl is really good but Aretha expresses a ton of emotion.

  • actually therealdiamonds is right vonzell does sing this song better. jus because something is the original doesnt mean it cant be made better vonzell is a beast sorry

  • i think vonzell got aretha beat on this song

  • i hate it when people are just so stuck on the original version of a song that they cant see a better version right in front of their face. Aretha paved the way and is a legend but VONZELL IS THE SHYT AND IS A LEGEND IN THE MAKING!!!

  • She does sound nice but she doesn't sing the song better than Aretha Franklin because she completely reiterated every thing about the way Aretha sang the song. For her to have "done a better version" she should've reinvited the sound of the song and made it her own. But on the scale of comparison Aretha's is better because it is the creation.

  • no no no ok im not stuck on the original version this is a GREAT version but areatha will always be better i♥ vonzell but shes no re

  • i think you are all stupid for being so racist.

    vonzell and carrie are AMAZING singers.

    if it would have been up to me it would have been both of them in the bottom 2 not bo.

    but in the end these 2 singers are very talented.

  • you guys are all fuckin racist, god its just skin color! this girl can sing better than anyone here, and that is what matters!

  • No ofense but it doesnt matter if your black or white, some people are just retarted. Carrie won because she deserved it, and if you havent noticed her record sales prove her win, and so does her AWARDS. And this is coming from someone that thought vonzell should have been in the finals against carrie. I love vonzell she is super cool, and great singer, but Carrie is the best thats is just true, to most people.. thats why she won

  • I'm sorry to tell you that Carrie is not the best. Unfortunately she was born without a personality.

  • Carrie Underwood Won The Yr Vonzell Sung This~~

  • who won for her year again??.. but i wish she would of won tho styllz

  • carrie underwood

  • SHE IS PRETTY

  • She looks like she's really enjoying it. Love it

  • as olweis... vonzell is the bobm

    every performance she make is a history!!!!

    way to go baby v

  • umm, shes not from Orlando Florida,lol,but whatever,i guess you can still say shes representing for Florida...shes from Fort Myers,Florida
