umm I was at the belmont stakes to see my friend Edgar prado, and I was riiiight next to jasmine and she was AMAZING so don't say she was bad! She was also very sweet, and she did an amazing job!
Honestly I really dont like to watch new york new york being performed because everyone sings along and cameras will pan through the stands showing people sing along and most of them I think are humming / butchering the lyrics just like with my old kentucky home and maryland my maryland lol, true story..
I know Frank Sinatra and his music was, is legendary to many people but they want to attract a younger demographic I hope they try empire state of mind again next year and show the whole performance on TV also you can't just assume ABC cut to commercial because she was performing badly because you don't know that. nobody from ABC said that, nobody will say that..
The way you talk about music "these days" makes me think you probably haven't listened to empire state of mind much, I don't like rap so I just listen to Alicia Keys solo version, I have never studied music. But I can tell she did fine. I don't understand the significance of New York New York by Frank Sinatra being played before the Belmont rather than empire state of mind, some people might say tradition but frank sinatra has only been performing it at the belmont since 1996.
Once again, you see how it went over....COMMERCIAL inserted. High school talent show quality at best. And you are correct I haven't listened to Empire State of Mind at all. Suggest you possibly try a "music appreciation" course somewhere. It can't hurt.
@ DPowell1709 if you are talking to me, I said people hate jasmine villegas for whatever reason. you also are being a really tough critic, it doesn't do justice? also you can obviously see why they chose empire state of mind for the #1 horse race in new york
I wasn't speaking directly to you. It was xoxayemhayxox (whatever that means)...As to the choice of song, have you ever been to a horse race? You see how it went over. NEW YORK, NEW YORK is much more appropriate. This teenager sounds like a middle school student trying out for a talent show. There is such a low bar these days for music. It is very sad. I feel sorry for the younger generation. No class whatsoever. And the people they look up to and try to emulate....OMG
@DPowell1709 Mmm no...I said it straight forward, "wow shes wonderful" is that a problem? I honestly don't care if you don't like her, or her singing this song, your opinion means nothing to me or her so back off :)
Couldn't believe you meant that, sorry. Thought it must have been a sarcastic comment. I still think it was a "high school talent show quality performance" AT BEST. Suggest you try a "music appreciation" course somewhere, it can't hurt. I still think there is a chance of "your ear" being saved.
@DPowell1709 For your information I'm already in one and I don't judge people on whether they can sing or not,if they love singing then thats all that counts, they don't have to sound like beyonce or mariah carey in order to have talent :) There are lots of people who don't have as a good of a voice as others but they don't care, there are lots of people who get judged, but they don't care. So leave me alone cause I wasn't even talking to you from the start :)
I think people just hate jasmine villegas for whatever reason. Don't take away from this performance because it was not bad it was refreshing shes young good looking and thats what the event organizers wanted i think you can't expect her to sing it at the level of alicia keys but it was pretty good
@DPowell1709 yeah I do.. omg.. its not really big deal and u should know that I mean"sang" instead of "sand" and meant "her voice is like Alicia Keys" sorry .. by the way I live in new york and I know English very well so it was just mechanical mistakes
I'm amazed that anyone could actually claim to have enjoyed that performance. I'm sure a dying Wildebeast could've hit more notes correctly than Villegas did....ooooh , but she waved her hands and bobbed her head with gen-next "attitude", and she hangs with Bieber - so she must be awesome! Seriously though - whoever manages this gal should've warned her that she'd only humiliate herself by attempting to sing outside of her capabilities in a live setting.
I watched this life, it was soooooooooo terrible! The only word you could understand was New York! Sounded like a screeching pig, they had to cut away people's ears were bleeding!
how did it not work out though? it sounded bad? not to me.. I watched it in HD, only saw what abc showed, it couldn't have been worse in person but I obviously didn't see it all.
in my opinion it was totally fine, have you heard alicia keys sing empire state of mind? this isn't better but it's pretty darn good i thought it was excellent plus shes really pretty. this is recorded from a camcorder and the sound quality is not very good. i don't know why so many people don't like it come on you can't miss sinatra.. can you??
@WOOKSTER8 ur on crack! shes awsome!! dope singer. shes one of the best. u must not know anything about music because shes the one who can actually sing not unlike most singers. freaken hater hating on my girll!!
@funnyramon54south First, If you are going to go after someone, Learn how to SPELL!! It would give you more credibility, Again, Why did they cut her off and goto commercial? Also, It freaked the horses out! The winner of the race was the only one with cotton in his ears! Goodbye and Good Luck...
@TheVagolfer hatter.. if you think she stinks then you dont know what a good singer is.. obviously u could hardly hear her that good cus it was recorded from a cell phone. shes awsome!! excellent singer one of the best. If ur not the one up there singing like her i suggest you keep your comments to yourself!
