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

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.
