Nikki Palikat - The Voice Within

[FashionistoIRE]

Her lower register is bad, she has no control and too much vibrato. With training she would be brilliant though because her higher range is perfect.

[yahiie]

1. Learn the right lyrics.

2. Don't try to pull THAT song off if you don't have the range. She lowered the key too much and took out all of the 'BAM' of the song.

3. The arrangement is poor

4. Like one said on the comments, without her whistle, she's not that good.

[Il3639]

Good singer? I think no, she's out of tone!

[mariechase]

She's so out of tune and she's trying too hard and I don't feel anything as I listen to this.

[RaciouS91]

ok, just give her a chance because she's still new

[RaciouS91]

@cloie1201 she did speak english very well

[123buffylover]

she changed the lyrics............

[iloveyoukyla]

umm nice voice..but i dont like her diction..im sorry

[beautifullilboy]

horrible



[swishabiz]

WOW she good lol.... how can you say that...she better than some live cover singer..

[takuo272]

this contestant didnt win the competition. It's Jaclyn Victor. youtube "Jaclyn Victor - Gemilang"

[eduardo35781]

Meu,mas ela canta muito,........

[BarryWesterhout]

@eduardo35781 I had to google translate that and this is what I got... "My, but she sings too..." too what? lol

[valmirbin]

@BarryWesterhout the right translate is "but she sings too much"

[valmirbin]

@BarryWesterhout the right translate is "but she sings too much"

[bandubers]

theres some sharps and flats. lacks appeal but good

[nephutte0704]

what was that? blew you away? how pathetic? she just ruined the song and she blew you away? wrong lyrics! very easy style! diction was awful and the melody was changed because she didn't know the runs and importantly the LYRICS! how stupid!

[DigitalCyanide]

Sooo pitchy. Soooooo flat in some sections.. and incorrect lyrics? I do give her credit for a whistle register... but whistle takes practice however.. she is proving herself near tone-deaf with how pitchy she is!

[DigitalCyanide]

Soooooo pitchy... holy cow! How did she make it that for on AI!?!

[DigitalCyanide]

@DigitalCyanide I meant MI!

[miaka111]

Good girl stay off of mariah's songs :l

[stoningking]

she's more suited to sing mariah carey's songs. Christina's voice in the lower register is thicker.

[thekhansinc]

Guys, u should catch the latest season 3 of Singapore idol on youtube. Its the finals on Dec 27 2009. Singapore is ready for her first female Singapore idol this season after Taufik (Season 1 winner), Hady Mirza (Season 2 winner). In my own opinion, I predict that Season 3s idol winner will be Tabitha Nauser.

[libkurde30]

echt schlecht du sau !

[jhez0126]

she can whistle.. but she still needs a lot of training..she cant hit the high notes with her natural voice.

[dieguito178]

she sucks

[zamagumo]

super shortcut

what a diction

many singer in the philippines can sang that song way better than that!!!..

[chamachuchi]

she has nice voice but the song doesn't fit her voice.!!

end of the story

[alacutie19]

She jus need training on where she going with the song, i mean it's like she going this way but she does a U turn and go another way, it almost sound tone deaf, but she has a nice voice

[miaka111]

THANK YOU, YOU HAVE A BRAIN

[originalzacki]

At 1:00 it's just wonderful

[ManhattanStory]

she isnt that good without her whistle

[mamoga2]

Puajjjj!! She has the most awful voice that I've never heard....

[mohan1003]

guys...that was years ago...now she's much2 better!

[ntvien00]

she sucks

[dereck0916]

i really dont see any special on this performance. i think it was completely rubbish and the lyrics were going on and off, and the dress what a f**k, its boring i swear!!! indeed, she was good on her audition (singing 'emotion').. cheers..

[sarume]

dear, she ruined the song. she altered the lyrics. ~_~ sob sob sob

[dollieann2000]

i think she has a nice voice, but she has a problem w/ diction & lacks stage performance.  i can't feel the messege that her song is sending to the listeners. Lacks emotion, in short.

[dddver]

proud to be sabahan.lol

[BarryWesterhout]

Hmm... she does speak very good English.

[interface]

nice voice but she don't have a soul in singing she's just singing the song.. I can't feel any emotion.. the low notes getting her voice out of tune..,

But where she now..?

[BarryWesterhout]

She is now an established recording artiste in Malaysia and has just released her second album titled Hawa.

[strawme]

She has incredible voice and tone, but she lacks melody. She needs to work on it.

[PrimeA2]

She has the capability. She needs more confidence.

[yahgurliecree]

she's good she should just study the lyrics more alot more

[tsomidou56]

ok she´s off key sometimes but who cares? She has a great voice

[takwingforever]

I think is easier to imitate mariah style than christina. she did better with the song "emotions"

[taraneerhain]

what....theres the words i dont even i dont understand some words are wrong.but yah shes the good singer but the words... peace out.

[Hesterswabedissen]

? Its horrible! And the lyrics are totally wrong, it's annoying!

[mazms]

check your ear!

[Hesterswabedissen]

Oh come on! She hits a lot of false notes.. Why do you think this is the wildcard show? Ze can sing, you can hear that, but damn..some notes are horrible, I don't want to listen to that. Be honest.

[mazms]

this performance had impressed and blew Roslan Aziz away..so do u think if nikki had done wrong notes would have impressed the professional like Roslan Aziz?Im nothing in music but if Roslan liked her performance,means it has something on it!

[Hesterswabedissen]

Are you deaf?? Hear for yourself instead of taking over Roslan Aziz' opinion! It's horrible! Listen to it closely! Listen to me! If YOU like it, just say it.. But if you only like it because Roslan Aziz likes it, then its just weird! Aweful performance! I can do better.

[mazms]

not only roslan but the 3 judges gave a positive feedback..false note is acceptable,this is wildcard not the final..she got talent but if u think u can sing better,just step up,post a video..let us see!we'll be waiting!

[pocayama2]

I think hearing it live is diff;rent with the recording. In this performance, the last part is kinda shaky but it is okay.

[SingLife]

she sucks! her notes are horribles! and she forgot the lyrics!!!

[BarryWesterhout]

Its the real thing.. not a Ken Lee. She did it pretty well!

[KeirstenPaigee]

Eh, it's ohkay.

[planetypus]

good.

[jmokris]

Grrrrrrrrr.... Wt a phenominal singer.. Ur voice s fantastic.. Simon will love you....

[hyewata18]

duh?

[Corninhas]

Wonderful! Should work on breathing more though! But great!

[WonderingHow]

Obsolutely wonderful! You can become one of Asia's great singer.

[albynism]

im not bothered by the accent.. she just need to improve her pitch. in every live perf. she always go out of key in some parts.. probably not noticabe to the untrained ears

[chrisjoebekham]

shes our people!

[PawsoH]

and i found that lots of the powerful songs on youtube, has some bad comments came from filipino,no offence, but they always said that their people can sing better. but please respect other poeple okay? honestly, i hate that attidude.i know pinoy can sing,it's a fact, but try not to offend other people, everyone has their unique style in singing. thanks.

[PawsoH]

she was born in USA,and has been raised there too. and after sometimes she came back to her town, Malaysia. About the accent, i'm not really sure.. but this version is far more better than katharine mcphee's. it's real, and i know everyone knows that. =P

[Coventrymovies2010]

She needs a little training and work maybe, but overall she has a nice and pleasant tone to her voice. I enjoyed it.

[o0bers]

If she didn't have an accent she'd sound much better.

[octobersix2003]

I agree

[BarryWesterhout]

That goes to everyone actually.

[nlee035]

She sucks like shit. What is doing? She sucks, is this the best Malaysia can offer to the world.

[BarryWesterhout]

one of I'm afraid. Just because you don't think she's good it doesn't mean you can slam her like that. Please watch your language.

[magjoe71]

Is this the best U can offer to YOUTUBE? Condemning others like that? If you're not from Malaysia, go learn language first. We are the best language learners, we have our own mother tongue but we speak English better than anyone! Try sing a Chinese song if you can do like this girl! She's a Dusun from Sabah, a native speaker of KADAZANDUSUN language!

[BarryWesterhout]

As far as I know, she's not. She's from Sabah, Malaysia. :) I'm one of her biggest fans!

[NetCaster]

Psshhh, Malaysia is just renting Sabah. You dont call your own when you are just renting.

[argelmontemayor]

what? i think that the judges haave to fix their ears. it sucks, obviously, hell no.. search for - jonalyn viray - she looks like her, shes a filipina singer , she has a better version of that and clear accent eventhough shes asian.(im not asian, im latino, but i appreciate filipina singers more) very amateur, girl

[evilkitties]

shes not filipina..

[nickyrock17]

She ruined Christina's song!!!!

[worldheiress]

the accent was terrible

[mapagmasid]

disaster

try jonalyn viray rendition

[nazym]

wow, that was pretty good =D i agree with the judges! she has a strong and beautiful voice, and she is absolutely aware of how to control it.

[cepacol06]

sucks

[TriplexOC]

the arrangement killed her.. good voice, bad arrangement

[aj592]

she aint dat good

[myhorsesforme]

I can't believe the judges thaught she did good...she would have...if she knew the words.

[fpstina]

ummm.... ok, credit for trying, but please, its always a disapointment when amateurs take very difficults songs (voice within, always love you, mariah carey stuff...) cuz they just can't hit the notes or carry it like the pros... Sorry all you wannabe singers out there, but its not as easy as it looks. I would have to say that this is probably one of the hardest songs to get right... but good try, just next time, pick something more your level..

[skinnypig777]

come on guys. give her credit... i give you credit for trying.

[imm0nen]

not good :/

[mayeloru]

she is not as good as christina, she gets out of tune too many times, plus she will never be as beautiful as christy!!! keep trying!!!!

[dailysunrise14]

very bad... wrong lines

[justin8yip]

Well she is from Sabah so that might explain the touch of pinay accent.

[bobbodread]

very good u go gal

[geminizzz]

GO nikki, a girl from my hometown....PRoud to be MAlaYsian...Proud be to be from Borneo!

[jessyxx123456]

rli good!!! amazing voice, dust rli suit your voice, but good attempt!

[jimgwaps778585]

OH really? pinay accent? u mean she came from the Phil?

[bid1982]

IT is a fact that too many of your filipino illegal immigrants residing in Sabah(North Broneo), which Nikki is eventually from, have the same attitude like you.. You only know how to condemn things that YOU dont have!

[mLsurfer182]

that's so cool! i could hear her pinay accent! go pinays!

[RedRosePetals]

i think she's good. why dont you guys think she's good? but her voice was too strong for this song. but at least it was powerful...i guess

[jimgwaps778585]

i really cant understand your song!!! u better say it rather than singing it...

[jimgwaps778585]

huh what the hell was that? U think that was an awesome performance..yikesssss...eeeee­ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

[babyjamiex3]

YUCCKKSS!! this version is like so EEWWWWW !!! too strong and kind of like a opera voice?????????

[Mieke1510]

the music arrangement makes the song kind of distorted.. they took the wrong part.. But Nikki sang very well, at least she wasnt a wannabe and wasnt annonyin like andrew.. am i ryt? yes, i know.. where is andrew now? not in the music industry at all, rubbish contestant, voted by stupid voters! haha

[TropicalMariahLover]

Not her best but I think it's the arrangement rather than her voice.

[michysassy]

girl you could sing i could sing too look laaaa la lala la lol lol

[carriebr8e]

she sang the rong wrds der 4 a bit lol but shes not d worst voice in d world she betr dan me lol

[maniegosgame18]

the worst singer in the entire!! world

[secretsxdontxmake]

..no, hun that's me.

[garayoga]

nice vocals thats all



[honniah]

its a shame cause u can tell she has a gd voice, bt tht song was diabolical, its sh*t! horrible version of it, soz

[hotcutiepinoy]

sorry the arrangement is awful

[dodingmouse]

Gawd! I'm sorry but that was awful. Nikki you're playing with pitch too much. And you're not good at it. That's very annoying.

[djaqeel]

ok try this nikki new song performance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=QLSIIxG7Dgk

[mrslongbottom]

I think Nikki "Emotions" much better. She has great vocals I must admit, and I think she deserves to win MI. [:

[miszlinda]

ewww

[irishdancermaeve]

These judges are tone death!

That was awful

She might be able to sing better if they gave her an easier song, this song shouldn't be covered by people who can't sing

Don't like to compare but somebody like this wouldn't get into pop idol uk or american idol, so why would she get into the final?

[NQJov]

You mean tone deaf? Lol... Of course she'd make it in pop idol/AI.

Anyway, it's a great performance. She didn't forget the lyrics, just that she sang a bit slow at the begining.

[irishdancermaeve]

It went off key at the end. We can all have opinions. In my opinion that was awful

[MeisjeJanneke]

agree

[niriden]

no a bit too harsh,she was okay mostly sounds bad to your ear cause of her acent

[dudeitztim]

she dont need to learn no lyrics... its the arrangement... to save time for other contestants to sing

[yupihas]

who're u to say the judges dont know a thing about talent?? U just deaf , that's all...

[MyAngelXtina]

the judges dont know a thing about talent, she sucks...

[bigbad83]

She might be sucks but I think you are more sucks than her.. Look at her! Listen and you'll find the answer!

[steponeee]

She seriously need to remember the correct lyrics before performing. Near the end was not as good as the beginning, but her voice is magnificent <3

[Wendiesel]

man, she's just not ready for this stuff

[BrayBrady]

lovley girl, but please learn the words first.
