[nov583]

Look at Stevie Wonder's face, he is a true legend, unlike Arethe Franklin, he seems like he's always enjoying when a young talent sing his songs.

sorry for my english, i'm enjoy this from France.

[minesdecarli]

and Mr Stevie wonder enjoying the version of his song!!

[cherita18]

Wooow! I'm calling her baby J.hud!

[jasonsaroyan]

if people think this is a good performance, something is horribly wrong

[sexyblack103]

@jasonsaroyan It's not her best, but she sounds good.

[thebluedahlia49]

[DavidArchuletaArg]

@shay18 After 3 weeks i have to say you that she unfreeze me on Twitter. And she apologized :) She's adorable ♥ Actually we are married haha

[MsCaramel9901]

She sounds and looks Beautiful

[Tyson909]

Umm...

What the fuck was she complaining about on Twitter? Saying that she sucked?

.. She was the best to perform there...

[mensioh]

@Tyson909 She made a little mistake in the lyrics when she performed, so they let her sing again. This is the video of the second time she performed!

[ryadsch]

@Tyson909 i have to say she isnt performing that well. vocals arent great. and she seems like she isnt feelign too great.

[Tyson909]

@ryadsch That's your opinion. I think she's an amazing singer, performer, and inspiration.

[tairsahar]

@ryadsch she was great..!!!!!

[Pookie791]

Get it Amber!!!! You go girl!!! XD

[StarletDancer01]

her dress is gorgeous! she is definitely the best singer on the show!

[edo1718]

WOw... She´´s AMazing...

I love HEr...

i lover Her style WOW...

[iheartronandhermione]

she is seriously amazing! 

[MissEmma911]

That was seriously AMAZING!!!!!!

[PearlSmile12]

Amber rocked this performance which is kinda sad that she keeps being sidelined on the show.

[noevoe978]

@PearlSmile12 For real. She's probably the best vocalist on the show.

[pdanproductions]

lveo herrrr

[noevoe978]

Gosh... hard crowd. But she worked it! Amber's my girl!

[PearlSmile12]

@noevoe978 what are you talking about hard crowd? They gave her a standing ovation and Stevie was dancing along.

[noevoe978]

@PearlSmile12 A standing ovation doesn't help while someone is performing. Amber had to throw her hands up and clap twice before anyone started to join in. And Stevie was the ONLY person expressing his enjoyment. Obviously the people enjoyed it based on their applause at the end, but as someone who has had to perform in front of crowds, I know that it is HARD when people aren't responding while you're performing. That is what I meant.

[PearlSmile12]

@noevoe978 OR maybe they are being polite and didn't want to be loud which could overshadow her performance? I mean, this isn't a concert where people are being loud, screaming and yelling. I mean HELLO!

[noevoe978]

@PearlSmile12 Umm, HELLO, this is my opinion. If you think it's not a hard crowd, then fine. I'm not going to lose sleep. And I'm not saying that the crowd was BAD, I'm saying the fact that they weren't being responsive may have made her nervous. Which is the definition of a hard crowd. That's my opinion. Didn't mean to offend.
