AI2 group performance - For the longest time

[janetscarlandmay]

this just ruined the song for me 

[pikachu25a]

lol firefighter has no life all he does is annoys the shit outta people. nobody believes the crap your saying. are you a pathological lier or just mentally retarded? theres a place you belong. its very hot all year  and theres a guy called luciferwhos ready to get hellbeasts to rape you in the ass :)

[firefighter6199]

@Mikakitten1724 Actually, I live a simple life where I'm not fake like all the other music artists...I go on facebook and youtube like a normal person, but sometimes, I run into dumb bitches like you...I face reality, but if you can't, that's cool! You know what, I'm gonna write a song about you...I'll call it "insane asylum" and it will be about the crazy anime loving cunt I met on you tube...Thanks for the inspiration...God loves you!

[NIMRODakaNIMROD]

Geez, what a load of crap. The song itself is pretty cool but not if sung by a bunch of teenaged wannabe popstars.

[ClayTakeover]

@NIMRODakaNIMROD Clay Aiken didnt end up being some wannabe bud.

[chuckwickslover1996]

2:11 is that a fail! 

[vcmooseidiot655]

[baredd79]

Makes me sick how they're all on stage hugging like they're best friends just knowing that they hate each other behind the scenes.

[ClayTakeover]

@baredd79 They are were like best friends. Clay lived with Kimberly after the show, and he just toured with Ruben. They all got along

[JoshaHoudt]

Not very good.

[oraliax]

best group performances

[firefighter6199]

Clay Aiken Is such a faggot...lol

[Foxlocke]

I loved the season two medleys! That year was special. Everyone (well almost everyone) had such control and skill over their voices. They blended together BEAUTIFUL!

The only one that absolutely could not sing was Carmen. She sounded like a bleating lamb.

[beanly1986]

The black girl is not pretty....

[xbabyholdontomex]

clay shoulda won!!

[Foxlocke]

@xbabyholdontomex Well he didn't. Get over it.

[RBFF123]

A girl can't sing this song. Only Billy.

[MrTSBOND]

sweet !!!

[MrMaci85]

sau geil

[Lordlako]

Hmm nice but at times I can hear one of the girls voices wandering off into directions no one should explore. But on the whole nice

[ckj80]

great song !! love it ..

[dancingbutrfli]

I had forgotten what a good job AI2 did on this song - one of my all time favorites by Billy Joel. Thanks so much for posting.

[Wat0the0french0toast]

haha the big guy got two women

[Flamesn]

wow! the voice of the man in the middle is awesome!!!

[rbartfan18]

I love Ruben singing bass in this!

[danforth911]

I don't think that was him singing at the end. From what I understand, he can't hit low notes like that, anyway.  Right?

[firefighter6199]

@rbartfan18 He wasn't singing bass...It was someone back stage...lol He's a tenor

[Baumibaumibaumibaumi]

voll fett geil ey

[gemu11]

best season of AI for sure

[Totallywild624]

Oh my God! This is like my favourite song ever! Then when Clay sang a bit I almost had a heart attack, he is like my favourite singer ever!

[firefighter6199]

@Totallywild624 He's a fag

[Totallywild624]

@firefighter6199 I don't give a flying shit dude, hes still awesome.

[firefighter6199]

@Totallywild624 I don't give a flying fuck...he's a fag!

[Totallywild624]

@firefighter6199 Oh, thats very similar to what I said. Oh right, you were being a twat :)

[DancetotheMusicxxx]

This sounds fantastic

[TheSotih]

最高

[inejcyrei]

whoa! i didn't think that women would work on this song! =)

sounds great too!

[Poatree]

They didn't.

[54spiritedwill54]

Great performance!

[BigM161]

Ruben's got two girls while the other two guys got one- He's a pimp!

[way2ju4u]

He's big enough for two...

[BigM161]

tru dat!

[JayMe2823]

the good ole days when they didnt lip sync the group songs!

i think they just started that this season?

[dookiekong007]

My school had individual groups of girls and guys from choir to go around and sing thing song to those who you want to be sang to for a low charge but I know people n i didnt have to pay but I had them sang to my crush

[cenarej619]

Oh gosh! Clay is soooooo sexy. I wish I were Carmen, wrapped around Clay's arms. Btw, they look great together.

[jcorbin1776]

Btw... uhhh... he's gay...???

[firefighter6199]

@jcorbin1776 he's queerer than a 3 dollar bill

[Mikakitten1724]

@firefighter6199 But not as queer as your mobile home. Shut up about him being gay, does it matter?

He's an amazing singer I don't see why you feel the need to troll. Yeah, you'll never have a voice as good as his or close to anyone of them, get over yourself.

[firefighter6199]

@Mikakitten1724 Hahaha! That's where you're wrong...I've won several singing competitions over the course of my life, I'm currently the best voted singer in my county, rated best singer in High school, and college, AND to top that all off, I've been talked to by talent scouts. I'm moving on up so you can sit and spin...

I'm only pointing out the obvious...Calm down there....

[Mikakitten1724]

@firefighter6199 @Mikakitten1724 Haha.You from the US?Me too.I've never heard of you.It's never good to believe in your own hype you know. I still think Clay has one of the best voices I've ever heard, better then yours I'm sure, but hey that's just my opinion and I'm biased.If your on the 'fast track' to fame then I suggest you learn how to be politically correct just as quickly.Unless you want to look like a homophobic asshole in front of our whole nation. Again, get over yourself.

[firefighter6199]

@Mikakitten1724 It's all good! I'm sensing some jelousy in your comment. It's all good, girls like you wish you could be sucessful, but sucess to a woman means being a stuck up snobby bitch and stomping on others to get to the top. But I respect that you're accepting your problem like an adult. It's hard to recover from being a bitch...You haven't heard of me because I'm in the process of the recording sessions. My cd opens up in stores january of 2012. Get over YOUR self...You can be my #1 fan

[Mikakitten1724]

@firefighter6199 Ah!You caught me!Cause I am sssooooo jealous of your stupidity!I wish I could be as ignorant and snobbish as you. I wish I could turn every debate against the other person's character, like you so skillfully do!And without even knowing the person!What class! Honey, did it REALLY take you 7 months to come up with that comeback?I know, recording your CD on garage band on you mac can take fooorreevver. Also look in the mirror, you conceded dirty bitch.

[firefighter6199]

@Mikakitten1724 You're not jealous of the stupidity, it's the money...I'm raking in thousands of dollars every day! Garage bands don't make much, but opera singers like myself tend to make a little more. You wish you had the money, the fame, and the people begging you for more....But no, you will forever be the same stuck up cunt who wished they could be successful...God bless you! I wish you the best! ;)

JBS

[Mikakitten1724]

@firefighter6199 But I am jealous of your idiocy! Look at you and your millions!

Give up the act, cunt. If you REALLY were so famous and rich you wouldn't be wasting your time replying to youtube comments. Funny enough, I don't want money I don't want fame. Meeting Clay aiken would be nice, But I really hate people. I will be successful, if you think calling people bitches and cunts will make them your fans, you seriously need to check into an insane asylum, Go on. 

[firefighter6199]

@Mikakitten1724 Actually, I live a simple life where I'm not fake like all the other music artists...I go on facebook and youtube like a normal person, but sometimes, I run into dumb bitches like you...I face reality, but if you can't, that's cool! You know what, I'm gonna write a song about you...I'll call it "insane asylum" and it will be about the crazy anime loving cunt I met on you tube...Thanks for the inspiration...God loves you!

[UnnaturallyGreen]

oh, poor girls had to sing those low notes!!

[6menonaplane]

Big guy needed 2 girls, nice!

[therealbroeslie]

I think the best part is at 1:23 (don't know what the singer's name is.

Which part do you like best?

[ajamaicanparadox1]

his name is Clay Aiken.

[tofuyo]

not really sure what to make of this rendition..

[happymimi16]

love this song

[brettizzlee]

Compared to other group performances on Idol, I'd say this is definitely a lot better than most. Pretty simple, but pleasant enough to get you to enjoy it. IMO, at least...

[myxboxisbroke]

That was poor, Wank poor.

[basejumper123]

no goddamn women in this song

[firefighter6199]

@basejumper123 Amen!!! It is not right!

[crow984]

my fav season out of all of them

[DTraj]

Nice.

Although some of the female singers over-do it and ruin the harmony.

[goldensilent]

i also agree

[therealbroeslie]

I agree. Perhaps the pitch is too low for female

[McWaters12]

Clay's singing is electrifying

[chaoskatata]

great performance maybe better than billy^^

[benkillerqueen123]

you sir, are an idiot

[nikkiglances]

awe

that was actually the only season i actually followed

[yankeediddy]

HAHAHA i love how Reuben has two girls. . .

[firefighter6199]

@yankeediddy More man for the women...XD

[erloester]

yes i did. this was the wrong words.

[aznpinoy17]

did anyone else hear the mistake between 2:10 and 2:13?

[sledneck943]

yeah i heard it too, i hate how everyone who said anything bad got negatives... jeez, touchy ass people

[dderrick345]

you couldnt be more wrong, that group butchered that song

[emanizzle]

no joke, they did..

[BuddyJ1966]

I loved this song by the group. I was a huge Josh Gracin fan but will admit that Clay Aiken is a great talent and should have won over Rueben.

[Shadywolf09]

Its funny how when the guys step in and start singing that the crowd cheers them on but when the girls sing there are barely any.Great song,Clay is my favoite

[skitzo429]

its actually quite out of tune.

[omegazman]

clay, rubin, and josh's voices mix extremely well!

[gtrmu]

Clay is gay.

[theballer04]

Be that as it may, this is awesome.

[freakyhead20]

so what, have some respect its not what you are its who you are..gay or not I bet he can sing better then you ;)

[gtrmu]

First, don't wink at me. Second, I don't need to sing. I play guitar, drums, piano, bass, mandolin, harmonica, sitar and banjo. I doubt Clay can do that.

[freakyhead20]

Well I play piano,drums,bass,harmonica,gui­tar but you dont hear me complaining :)

[skitzo429]

no one cares what you play, youre ignorant.

[hrystya]

I could just listen to Clay's 6 second solo over and over. <3

[kokoronoegao]

SOOOO GOOOODDDD!!!!!!!!

[kytsky]

AI 2 has always been my favorite. The top 5 are awesome. Love Ruben, Clay & Kimberly. Josh is my favorite. Wish I knew what Trenyce is up to? She is so very talented!!!!!!!!

[moxguy19]

Sorry, the blond girl next to Ruben is the one I meant.

[moxguy19]

What's the blonde girl's name?

[ggsuperfan]

lmao

Ruben with two girls.

hahaha

good song though

[potanpenkoed]

I think Ruben and Clay would look better... mmmmm thats delicous

[ishmaelkhalid]

I second that, Tanto92!

[Tanto92]

Am I the only one who thinks Carmen seemed to really fit sitting in Clay's arms?? I just thought they looked adorable...

[sweetipi2007]

no, ur not.....lol...i thought the same thing the first time i watched it. they do look cute

[superman344]

they suck for a group of "idols"

[noerlund75]

not much but a pitch to high.. but beside that... superb!

[saelynne]

I agree with you EvilLoynus, someone is singing a bit high and out of pitch here. It's kinda bothering to hear.

[OMBtaneously]

This is my favorite AMERICAN Idol Group Performance!

[EvilLoynis]

Theres one person singing really high throughout this song and I think it's out of place. It really sounds bad most of the time. Other than that I love this vid. Just shoot the person who can't cooperate.

[caravaggio]

I think it's Josh.

[EvilLoynis]

It could be but I think it's either the Blonde or Brunette on the left side.

[caravaggio]

Nah, it's Josh who is singing too high into his falsetto. At 2:22 you can see John singing in the high voice.

[ColossusLibra]

The high-pitch voice was just right. It's not out of place. If you listen to Billy Joel's original version, it's really like that.

[boogiebrain34]

harsh... listen to the orginal dude, he does pretty well if you ask me

[gsi2006]

i didnt even know they performed this song.... its alright... never beats the original

[JaeJaeBlaze]

Oh geez I was beginning to think no one had this up. This was probably one of my fave preformances. Thanks for sharing!

[claykitty01]

Clay is gonna be on Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader October 11th!!! Its a Thursday!! Claymates! It's time for another dose of Clay Aiken!!!

[Yoga1978]

ruben is like a pimp.....hehe

[aaalllccc]

i love this! season 2 had the best harmonies

[polishpat822]

hahaha wow how can u forget Ruebens clasic 205 shirts

[bmwforlife46]

Great performance!

[Josh057]

ruban doesnt stand out this song. i mean, phtsically he does, but i understand that he's needed for the bass. i really love clay, he's a great singer. but when ruban sung "sweet home alabama", he juss blew me away. i'm glad he won!

[stefan2004]

ruben is not singing bass, its pre-recorded. ruben is singing tenor

[claykitty01]

Their all good but i love CLAY!!

[gracinxangel]

i love that you can hear josh over all of them!!

[xmathlete314]

I didn't watch season 2, but it looks pretty good. I think Josh should have won. Thanks for putting this up.

[americanidolfann]

I love clay

[elbasha123]

the harmonies are amazing, though the girls messed up a little bet, but GAWD they're good, I love clay, ruben, kim and josh!

thanx 4 posting the vid.

[vstreamer]

The harmonies are great on this. Clay's voice is really good. lol at Ruben sitting on the stool - he takes up so much space.

[hansn111]

who wins

[sandypatty]

That was great season...immense talents!

[chrrylpps]

thanks for putting this up! i've been looking everywhere for it. i love this season of idol a lot!

[Bba11MANIAK03]

i thought josh was sooo cool.. he's a great singer.. but clay and ruben were better i must say. i still think he's the coolest though.

[haha341]

The best AI group. Hands down.

[singingurl1200]

clay is like really good

[garden333]

Clay is the best, but I sure did love hearing AI2 group singing the best. They all did an amazing job. I can't wait until they do the Idol rewind for AI2.

[americanidolfann]

garden,do you know when idol rewind for AI2 is

airing?

[wiseguy847]

too bad they themselves are not harmonizing. none of the guys are basses, so they have a guy singing bass inthe background. Also all of the girls and not mezzo's but are more in the pop-soprano range, so sadly most of harmonies are sung back stage

[Cantaloupe88]

Not mezzo's? Have you heard Kimberly Lockes voice at all?

[Bucky1215]

You spin a great yarn, and really live up to your username. They were without doubt the best AI group of them all. Guess you have favs in a different season that just don't measure up. Sad.

[haha341]

Were you replying to me?

[Cantaloupe88]

I think Bucky was replying to wiseguy..

[omfgitsmeganmkay]

wow

[Aurras]

The best thing about Season 2's top 12 is the diversity of all the voicies and personalities. The blend of it all makes it really superb.

[jadenmd]

I'm so addicted to this song.

This performance proves that season 2 had the one of the best, if not best, top 12 on AI.

[MittensNoHikari]

Fantastic.

I think I've watched this maybe 10 times over the past few days, and it just gets better.

[cyrusvail]

i didn't know what is it about season 2's group songs---the voice blendings (or whatever you call it) is the best out of all 6 seasons.

[panelman06]

I know! I love all the group performances from season 2, they are great. (Especially top 5)

[ajamaicanparadox1]

yea i loooooooooooooooove the top 5 one.. but its not on you tuve nemore it makes me cry.. but this one is so great too

[Maestrojosh87]

They have GREAT harmonies on that song, and I especially like the girls' lower ranges on it. That's surprising.
