  • 1:23 kinda sounded nice but the rest of the performance was a train wreck.

  • I think she was nervous out of her mind, but yeah one of Idol's worst performances ever.

  • People can say what they want, but she sounded terrible.

  • Simon: "And you're still young"

    Janay: "MM HMM!"

    Simon: "You're not 50"

    Janay: "MM HMM!"

    LOL I love it!

  • i dont think anyone has ever been able to hit Jessica simpsons

    high notes right in this song Haha XD this song was made for jessica.

    But janay really gave it her best, very proud of her.

  • out of sync.. and I don't know music.

  • So..........bad !!! =='

  • She look terrified in this performance, girl was not ready for this

  • I think her bringing it down a key or two (or how many), that killed her...

    as a matter of fact, her singing this song was just TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY WRONG.. the song was just wrong for her... wrong wrong wrong...

    Maybe if she sang something else, she would have done better.

  • Everyone should check out Tarralyn Ramsey's version... now SHE killed it, and I don't mean literally. She was GREAT! WAY better than Jessica in my opinion..

  • WTF???

  • i think her runs are better then rihanna

  • @nikaledesma Well everyone's runs are better than Rihanna

  • she has better voice than jessica simpson. her voice is very styling among all the girls I ever seen in AI in all seasons. Here in the video which was in January 2005 she was so pitchy that's why she was voted out earlier in the competition. I don't know now in 2011 if she really improved a lot and was just 16 that time. She haven't posted videos here like other eliminated contestants before.

    Well, her hands were not shaking, it's how she nail the notes in styling i guess.

  • FOREVER IS FOREVER IF THY JUST BELIEVE

  • wow. that was awful :L

  • she always looks into the camera with this terrified look on her face..

  • and guess what! i think that she sung that shit then jessica simpson. this girl has more soul and more power in her voice than jessica

  • Poor baby was nervous =-(

  • She wasn't deffinetly not the best that season, but something keeps bringing back to listen to her. And I kinda wish I could've heard just a little more of her

  • I still like this!

  • whats that weird shaking thing she's doing with her hands/face

    this is one of my favorite songs ever and she killed it for me.

  • I don't like her rendition!

  • she sucks....

  • You can tell she was nervous, she looked so shaky, her voice sounded pitchy

  • This girl I think went downhill every week! Her Selena perfomance "Dreaming of you", which was her last, was a complete trainwreck!! Anyway, this was bad!! Leaves me wondering what she did on her audition and Hollywood rounds....

  • @elpelozzz She was actually... really good then.

    She was a standout and was just SO nervous.

  • this sounds horrible. lol just horrible

  • wow i like it really good ^^

  • Why sing this song if you gotta sing it so much faster and so much lower...

  • oh no honey......

    just no

  • i don't like it!

  • Omg yes this is my favorite singer and still is one of my favorite singers :) love you Janay.

  • YEA SIMON....she really sounds polished...

  • SHE LOOKED TERRIFIED!!!! OMG!!!

  • mm..not bad..but jess better..of course

  • she is kinda hurry....

  • I think that was really good...

  • She should have auditioned later, so her voice could have had a chance to mature. She just needs work on her lower range. It almost comes across like she was hiccuping, but she did nail the high notes! If she would have did that, I think she could have at least made it far enough to make it on the tour.

  • I think it was more of her comfort zone and nervousness rather than her actual singing talent.

  • Nail the high notes? LMAO, she lowered the key 2 full steps! Awful.

  • Comment removed

  • ha!

  • @mellynumerounoo

    4 full steps? more like a major fourth... that is 6 semitones, and 4 WHOLE steps. from E minor/G major to B minor/D major...

  • well some of it was really good and some was terrible... when u know u cant sing all that power house stuff u gotta suit the song to ur voice instead of tryin and failin

  • She sucks, what happened to the song, she destroyed it, not even close to Jessica

  • Wow, this show was sooooo different back then.

  • SHE FUCKED THIS SONG UP LITERALLY

  • She looks so frightened and she's literally shaking. Dear god.

  • i hate her version! i love this song but i think she sings it so so so bad

  • She is someone that got too many chances. I can say there are people this season that deserved the second chances that she got.

  • awful... jess please

  • She suck

  • ummm jessica isnt old.......neither is any of her music....

  • nooooo shes doing too much to the song. its one of those songs by a certian artist that u have to sing good or not at all.

  • she dissapointed me so much. i watched her in hollywood. i was like dang he's amazing. then she got 2 top 24 i waz like wtf. she couldnt preform well. looked petrfied and too nervous. i just had 2 shake ma head. but she could never out sing vonzell.

  • I ALWAYS REMEMBERED HER.. i THOUGHT SHE WAS GREAT... SHE HAS ENERGY!!! AMERICAN IDOL IS STUPID AND DEAF!!

  • omg

  • can somebody please post an mp3 for this

  • what i really like about this girl is her runs... I miss this girl, how is she now after 4 years?

  • omg u guys.. give her a chance, obviously the girl was nervous up there. that can be very difficult. I think her voice is sexy and she has a cute innocent personality

  • oh that was awful..

  • this was so awful. lol. she looked so weird. staring and shit.. lol.

  • what the hell is up with the shaking ?

    anyways.. not her best, and not even close to Jessica

  • omg she looked like she was having a seasure at the beginning of the song

  • hahhahaha, when she sang, I laughed, very very different performance of this song:) but interesting.

  • omggggg that is awful

  • I feel like she could have done really well in the competition and been completely different and modern but poor Janay couldn't get control of those nerves and it led to her downfall..

  • lol...she looks awkward

  • thats terrible..and she was in idol???

    shheeeesshhh!!!

  • Whaaatt?!

    What fool did put her on stage.. ó_O

  • she was amazing , my favorite but then again i always like people with different voices and i thing her tone is really rare and has a lot of potential...when i first heard rihanna i thouhg she was janay...

  • i thought she was good overall..but not on this performance...

  • she can definitely sing, she just sang all the wrong songs. I remember she sang that one song from blu cantrell..all wrong.

    I like her though.

  • i really liked this but i really dont think others did so she was very lucky to make the top 20.

  • she's horrific

  • she literally murdered this song. It's dead.

  • she ruined the song...

  • Her voice trembled(or what ever) a bit too much

  • she is sucks..hahaha stop singing girl

  • why is she making those faces? her body movement is odd too

  • All she needed was a boost in confidence, she has a raw talent, with practice she will be fantastic.

  • Ugh, she did NOT deserve to go further than Natalie Weiss. This performance was a mess, and the riffs were sloppy. Look at all the Youtube videos of Natalie NOW and see who is more popular, and who deserved to go further.

  • if you have to take a song that low from it's original key... you shouldn't sing it unless you're going to make it your own. all she proved with this performance is that she's not as good as Jessica Simpson.

  • I think Janay's underrated. She probably didn't deserve a spot in a finals, but she was FAR from the worst semifinalist that year. Do you guys remember her "Please Mr. Postman" in Hollywood? I wish someone would post (heh...) that on YouTube.

  • hahaha Brian11785 i totally agree! i remember that mr postman performance in hollywood week-- thats why i remember Janay. Song Choices really-

  • another who remembers and also member simon makin the comment about the bling she wore. i wud like to see her audition 2 again

  • I never thought I would say this, but Jessica's Simpson's original is SOOOOO much better.

  • best robot moves ever

  • lol!!!!

  • GOOOOOOOOOD!

  • she was fucking brilliant! i love her tone. that kind of voice is rare and i hope she does well in the future! God bless!!

  • In the beginning I was like what are you guys talking about she reminds me of Paris Bennett... then after the beginning I was like ok now I understand waht you're all talking about. BUT she's not terrible.

  • Bad choice of song I think. Voice wise she has potential, but she actually got worse in top 8 girls, that is why she could not make it to top 12. She picked Dreaming Of You which is slow. I think she would do better with fast tempo songs.

  • u right i voted for her i liked her i just wnated her to make the top 12 but she failed She can sing but she just need a better choice of songs n a lil voice coaching n she did well on dat note when she was like I goin luvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv u she take on a big song

  • she was alrite not my favorite

  • hahaha thats bit meannn :p but she not that bad she needs to no how to control her voice its just all over the placee she needs good voice coach

  • I really felt like she was a lil scared of the note sin the song n she didnt want to just lose against them but she didnt wnat to take the chance of hitting them but i felt overall she did a good job i reallyt liked her i was praying sh emade it to the top 12 but she didnt

  • It wasn't great, but it was good. It god better on the bridge.

  • she was awsome and she was 1 of my fav 3 yrs ago does anybody know how i can get her performances on my ipod i really want it!

  • u can download the song son limewire n then u can upload them on windows media player n then upload on ur ipod

  • This was hilariously bad.

  • i like her ...

  • i wish i could see her audition because i thought she wasn't good everytime i heard her
