  • Girl, Audition for something because you are too good for a subway station

  • If I had the privilege of listening to her in the subway, I would've walked up to her and said," Here's my wallet."

  • love her

  • She's my favorite ever -3 you go sister!

  • If you're in NYC, she usually performs at the 14th Street Union Square stop or in the Times Square stop. She'll sing any request as long as you sing along too :-)

  • @scorzi She is no longer singing in the subway...

  • @dave06645 why is that?

  • shees soooo goood

  • I loves you Alice!!

  • I don't get it !! Miss Alice is in a subway station yet Lady Gag-Gag is on a stage?? WTF ?!

  • Thats "God given talent" right there.........no doubt. Awesome. Id love to hear some gospel. She seems like a sweet lady too. A big hug and kiss from me momma.

  • I Love It Girl :D You Deserve To Sing With Your Hero :D

  • I'd buy anything you record, Alice. You're flat out amazing!

  • Her voice is so Pure, so Clean!

  • I got tears on my face.

    Sorry for my poor English.

    You are so talent, you should give your song and voice to us.

  • Alice, you give me goose bumps! You are BLESSED!!!!!! Never stop singing!

  • See all the good singers done make it. But the crappy singers (lol) who cant sing get somewhere....the system is corrupt! They are selling sex!

  • where can i buy a cd????

  • @VONRITT she has her own webite 

  • like me, she can't sit still during such a moving song...she's wonderful...

  • I'd love an album of her :O

  • Alice Tan Ridley's fan page on Facebook. Please join!

  • OMFG I'm getting goosebumps all over my body listening to that voice. This woman is LIVING the blues! If she ever puts out a cd I will be first in line to buy one. I swear she could make Happy Birthday sound sexy.

  • @mrmoofle dat is freaggin' true.

  • WHAT A VOICE :)

  • speechless! amazingggggggggggggggggggggggg­ggggggggggggggg

  • Mann those people are so lucky to get that kind of entertainment for free just by going through the subway. She needs her own stage!

  • she is the mother of the girl that played precious in the movie precious, very awesome i want her to win !

  • idk how she doesnt have a 6pac from doing all that dancing all day! ps: she roxxxx!

  • OMG! THIS IS TALLENT! PURE TALLENT

  • OMG! she is nice!!!

  • Someone throw a record deal in her suitcase.

  • BTW--the performers in the subway---they DO make a VERY nice living!!! Don't feel sorry for any of them!!!! I wish Alice well-she needs to be heard everywhere!!!

  • I live in NYC and she's STILL in the subways singing. She's mostly at Times Square or Union Square.

  • Wow! a powerful voice! I hope she wins!!

  • When is the final for America's Got Talent? Please I beg everyone in here to cast a vote for me I don't live in USA and that women deserve it all. Alice I don't know you but I love you and if you don't win because USA has showed the world that not always best singers win, you will still get GRAMMYS and other AWARDS just like Jennifer Hudson, if USA is not behind you the WORLD is. God Bless USA and ALICE Tan Ridley.

  • alice i want u to know that ... UR FUCKING AMAZING like WTF ur doing in that shitty place ?she got some fucking talent

  • I know that even if she doesn't win americas got talent.. someone will sign her... they would be stupid not to!!

  • i hope she doesnt go back to singing on the subways... SHE ABSOLUTELY DESERVES TO BE ON AMERICAS GOT TALENT!!! Keep singing Alice!!!! <3<3<3

  • She sounds so amazing. I hope she wins on America's Got Talent, but I also hope Michael Grimm wins, too, lol. I think she got overlooked in the past by the record labels because she is not young and skinny. Really glad for her that she finally found America's Got Talent, which could bring her the rewards that a performer like her deserves.

  • Only in the USa!!!!!! LOl, such a voice in the subway!

  • SHE MADE THE FINALS ON AMERICA'S GOT TALENT! PLEASE VOTE FOR HER THE NEXT TIME SHE PERFORMS ON THERE! SHE DESERVES IT. SHE HAS SO MUCH TALENT, AND SHE WORKS HER BUTT OFF IN THE SUBWAY, EVEN IN 100+ HEAT. WE LOVE OUR ALICE HERE IN NYC!!!! SHE SAYS SHE'S IN THE JOY BUSINESS -- MAKING SUBWAY RIDERS WHO ARE UNHAPPY, HAPPY. SHE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • She sounded 100% better on the show tonight than she did here. And boy did she look great.

  • @alicefay excellent voice

  • She sang this song tonight on "America's Got Talent". Her expressiveness is second to none....the most fantastic thing I have ever seen or heard. A star is born!!!

  • alice you give me chills.. thank you so much for sharing your talent w/us all. peace.

  • i lived in new york 15 years ago, i shoulda used the subway more............a superstar

  • Never seen a busker anything like her before - WOW and look at the likes vs dislikes 265 to 0, that's right ZERO you just don't see that

  • WOW!!! She is so amazing!!!

  • Where is does she even proform this at?

  • @kittypawz258 She performs at Times Square, 34th Street, Union Square, on the 8th Avenue line. Ask the transit cops of the subway cleaners. They all know her. Go to AliceTanRidley. com and click on the yellow square to see her schedule. She has a contract with NYC to perform in the subway. She's not a "busker." She's licensed.

  • She tried out for America's Got Talent, the Judges LOVED her......

  • oh come on her daughter was in Precious and she just sits in the subway? the agents walk past there must be stupid enough

  • Imposible que en Nueva York no vean este talento y que no lo hayan llevado a las mejores tarimas del mundo, que voz!! Maravillosa ....

  • She's amazing

  • Can someone telling what the F...k she's doing in subway station? Divas like her should be GRAMMY'S recipient. Lady your stage should be stadiums, arenas and Kodak Theater.

  • @leretour23 You're right! Alice was a teacher, but she took a break and never went back. She sings in the subway and makes in one day, what she used to make every two weeks in the NYC school system.

  • @leretour23 well she said on americas got talent that she wanted to make her childrens dreams come true.!! she did it the right way. and now she is in the quater finales as the best SOUL singer there. She should win.

  • @leretour23 That's very true

  • @leretour23

    She told CBS Sunday Morning that she liked singing there. I guess she did have chances to go big time, but liked singing in the subway instead!! But America's Got Talent is going to change that..I think. She is AMAZING!!!!

  • how could ppl just walk by ignoring her, shes amazing!!

  • she tried on at america's got talent and passed with three yes and her daughter is a oscar nominated actress

  • I love when people sing like this! She is amazing and deserves a lot more than singing at the subways!

  • What the.. How the FUCK could she not be famous in the 60's-70's? I'm even more surprise that she isn't today, but today you can atleast have a bad excuse like "people don't want to hear music like that" (Which is a lie!)

  • AMAZING!!!!!!! LOVE IT.

  • Simon Cowell hasn't seen her yet

  • The best things in life are free, and here's the proof. Enjoy!!! Sing on, Alice. But if you record it, I'll buy it, too. Love K

  • Still pursuading her dream. This woman cant be stopped :)!! Her voice is amazing! GO ALICE :D

  • SHES AMAZING..... LIKE A 2nd WHITNEY!!!

  • Her voice makes me think of Whitney Houston!!! shes AMAZING.....

  • Some of the greatest food in the world is found in the lesser known "holes in the wall" that people barely notice, but pass by every day. That's the best analogy I can use to express the brilliance of this woman's talent. She has no business singing in the subway. She should be in a studio, on contract, recording an album RIGHT NOW!!!

  • Are they giving her money or...?

  • I guess on my many visits to NY over the past 20yrs, I should have spent more time in the subways. If I knew this much talent was being displayed I would have. Her performance on AGT just brought me to happy tears. I wish her the best and hopefully someone of music business power gives her a deal.

  • well shes auditioned for AGT so if someone does sign her they are stupid!

  • She's got soul

  • @NoOtherLikeMe7 i agree shes got soul sounding voice thats really rare to come by witch is why its so weird that noone has signed her...

  • I saw her on america's got talent - she needs to get her music in stores I'd buy it.

  • i love how she texts while she sings and still rocks it..... amazing lady!!

  • What a scream! This lady rocks! Man, she has soul! I got up and was dancing in front of my computer. Sign her up, get out a CD, She could sing anything and make it sound excellent! Alice ROCKS!

  • Look at those idiots in the background who are not paying attention to this marvel.

  • God given, natural talent. Hope she has a CD out soon. LOVE her!

  • She sure brightens up your travels!!

  • I watched her on America's got Talent, and from all these youtube clips, it looks like she's got an amazing array of songs. Incredible..

  • im a big fan now

  • cool??

  • she is way better than gucci mane

  • man i could only dream about her singing in my train station americas got to be steeped in too much talent to have her singing UNDERGROUND omg shes awesome!

  • Forget "America Got Talent" - I want her album NOW

  • If I had a record label she would be my first artist...Love Her!!!!

  • lol she's been set since her daughter was nominated for an oscar for precious... her life was set right there in the subway.. no problems are on her mind

  • she went on americas got talent this season, shes set for the rest of her life :)

  • Oh wow she's truly a great singer. Keep on singing Mrs Ridley it doesn't matter where coz u possess what most of us don't have a GOLDEN VOICE!

  • She is fantastic.

  • Im sorry that i have commented on almost each of her videos but i just want to know how amazing i think this lady is and has such a old school voice... she would have been a hit back then.

    Hopefully she can make it in this era of music

  • man y havent no one signed her yet? she can sing

  • Did yall know this was Gabby from the movie Precious' momma??? I saw her on America's Got Talent - she is about to blow up!!!

  • I freakin love this woman! Self promotion, selling CDs, singing and everything for years on end. I hope AGT skyrockets her where she belongs.

  • If I had money, I would sign her on the spot! All the best lady!

  • How is it that such talented people like this exist and are never discovered until now.

    There are so many no talent so called STARS out there who can't hold a candle to Tan Ridley.

    I applaud you Tan. YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!!

  • Oh Alice my dear -

    The sweet sound of music beckons near

    Soon the world will be under your spell

    Like children rushing to the old school bell

    No longer will the subway echo

    with your voice resonating back and fro

    You shall stand among the great that sing to us

    Flowing flood of water through the desert dust.

  • @whiteliketar beautiful :))

  • @dancr68 -thanks -

  • I could sit there all day long just to listen to her voice. What a magnificent voice!

  • @Lalita3474 Mm... you mustn't be familiar with the stench of NYC subways.

  • Will she ever sing in the subway station after AGT? :-(

  • Now she's on America's got talent. and going to get a big record deal. she is amazing!

  • Amazing!

  • Whats funny is all those people who passed you up to go to their crappy jobs. If they helped you out in promotion they couldve made a piece of the millions you now stand to make.

  • Isn't she wonderful?

  • What an awesome lady - saw her on AGT last night. Hope you win!!

  • I'm one of those guilty of probably walking past you Alice without even thinking twice. Truth is 75% of people have their headphones in listening to music that wouldn't even hold a candle to you. I'll make sure to stop and listen more often. Best wishes to you and your new found opportunities.

  • wow, i have no more words, just wow.

  • I think we're looking at the new winner of America's most talented.

  • that's gabby sidibe's mom!!

  • Wonderful

  • good luck you are a star

  • Why on EARTH has no one signed this powerhouse of a woman?! Huh???

  • @ijamsville97 It's a shame of the music industry. She doesn't have the right 'look'.

  • @itsranton SHAME on them.. now she's going to go HUGE and every fool who passed her by is going to be crying in his beer, lol.

  • @ijamsville97 I think a lot of them will have fond memories of seeing her. She really commanded a crowd.

  • she is a______________shining star

  • what amazes me is that people just walk right by without even a second glance. her voice is FANTASTIC!!!

  • I just cannot BELIEVE someone with this amazing talent has never been signed by a record company!!! Are they DEAF??? Do they not realise what sh.. is in the charts? There are SOUL lovers all over the world that would buy her records in an instant, sorry in shock that she has been singing undergound for all those years!!! Alice you are AMAZING. I want to be able to hear your voice everyday, you are an inspiration.
