Didi Benami Rhiannon Will You Ever Win Performance on American Idol with Judges Comments

[Gagafan26]

i like haley reinhart's version a lot better

[errewayfanatic]

she is LIKE TAYLOR SWIFT ...

[foreverPriscilla]

Best version, Didi is perfect.

[DraconisChaser75]

Too way under rated. >.<

[jasdancho]

Gives me chills everytime i listen to this, absolutely amazing!

[shadowbrook1987]

I think this was the best most orig American Idol performance ever Way under rated

[centuryflower]

I still am haunted by this song and Didi's voice and arrangement. This was magical, I agree, the song I have gone back to after the end of Season 9. I just hope Didi knows that, whatever she's up to. 

[FreakingWillow]

This has got to be the most magical performance of season 9. Too bad it's so underrated.

[artisticphoto95]

She is sooo Beautiful!

[ZentetsukenVII]

Better than the original. fantastic.



[juanfelipe091891]

@ZentetsukenVII tomo111

[v2kai]

my all time favourite Idol performance

[HaleyReinhartForever]

sorry but, HALEY ALL THE WAY <3

[foreverPriscilla]

@HaleyReinhartForever DIDI ALL THE WAY. ;)

[colourdeyes]

@HaleyReinhartForever Haley is so overrated. She doesn't sound so phenomenal or anything. Over-hyped in my opinion.

[k3vinlee]

@HaleyReinhartForever lol don't compare but yah kinda haley all the way!!!! but you gota say didi did better on this song

[cheryblosen]

ugh this season my favs were didi and paige they got out to early btw haley reinharts was better

[bb321ful]

i think her and haley have so much in coomon because they sung the same song flarlessly. it was awesome. i still watch this over and over. the reason why she made as long as she did because i use thise two hours to vote. i wish she made it longer than she did. she will have a contract sonner or later and i cant wait until she has a album out. i will be the first one to buy it and the last one to keep. i will hold that cd forever. she should have on. she was the most fun and i love her voice.

[Theprincessroro]

She's a true singer for me :( She should have had thousand of contracts after she was eliminated :(

[limak24]

Haley is amazing. End of story.

[ecermusic]

This is so much better than Haley Reinhart's terrible version.

[gatarharo]

@ecermusic this girl was good but haley's version cant be compared and way better then this

[ecermusic]

@gatarharo Well you have your opinion and I have mine. I personally can not stand the sound of Haley's voice in fact I quit watching American Idol because she irritated me so much. Didi's singer/songwriter vibe is what makes her version better to me.

[sdboltz07]

@ecermusic they were both great performances, but you're a raving lunatic for not like Haley Reinhart. Just sayin...

[ecermusic]

@sdboltz07 In other words, if I don't like the same music as you, I'm a raving lunatic.

[sdboltz07]

@ecermusic Either that, or a jealous woman/girl.

[ecermusic]

@sdboltz07 So, using your logic, if I don't like Benito Mussolini, I'm jealous of him?

[realfinnatic]

@ecermusic "I personally can not stand the sound of Haley's voice in fact I quit watching American Idol because she irritated me so much" - you are entitled to your opinion of course. But, kind of judgemental and hyper jealous aren't we??

[ecermusic]

@realfinnatic How am I jealous just because I didn't like her voice?

[ecermusic]

@realfinnatic "You're jealous" is code for "It's impossible for anyone to have a different opinion to me so I'll just put it down to jealousy." Another person I don't like Fred Phelps (founder of the Westboro Baptist Church). Using your logic, I'm automatically "jealous" of him? There's a difference between disliking someone and being jealous of someone.

[realfinnatic]

@ecermusic YOU SAID: "I personally can not stand the sound of Haley's voice in fact I quit watching American Idol because she irritated me so much" - Why and how does her voice or personality irritate you so much? You stopped watching AI because of her - very strong feelings against somebody you don't know, have not met, and who have nothing to do with you actually. Why is that? You are an aspiring singer, songwriter from Australia and you gravitates towards the singer/songwriter Didi. Fine!

[ecermusic]

@realfinnatic The growling and oversinging really grates on my ears. You might think differently, but I respect your opinion just as you should respect mine.

[ecermusic]

@realfinnatic And I was probably exaggerated when I said I quit watching AI because she irritated me. She was a factor, but not necessarily the main reason - bad judges, a few of the contestants and the fact that I didn't actually have the time or the want to watch it. Her voice irritates me. Not her.

[realfinnatic]

@ecermusic If you are matured and objective, you could check the originals of: FALLIN, BLUE, PIECE OF MY HEART, RHIANNON; etc. and see how well Haley covered all these and more. I only spoke up to you because it is sad that a young person like you, who is a student of music, is so subjective and unreasonably biased. It's not an opinion but a mindset that is the problem. I have watched Kylie Minoque since her Neighbours days. I will keep a look out for you. Wishing you success in the music life.

[beautykattya]

i like 3:01

[kocean1]

I still like Stevie Nicks version better but this girl has skill. The grain in Stevie's voice especially as she sings now is great. Plus the fact that she wrote it.

[wendie029]

The wow moment was the whole song and Simon made more sense than d dawg, yo dawg

[wendie029]

how can you dislike this? Who d hell does Randy think he is? I never heard of the cow until American Idol and he always cuts down the best on each show. Same thing this current season, he lit into Thia Megan after that beautiful rendition of Elton John's DANIEL, she got voted off next.

[MCalixte89]

@wendie029 well he was in the band journey, look them up. plus hes produced everybody from whitney houston to celine dion.

[cc22ful]

omg someone please kill randy pleasee!

[ispshadow]

Wow. That was a REALLY good version of a classic. Rhiannon is one of my favorite songs ever. Most covers tend to ruin the original, but I think even Stevie Nicks would've been impressed.

Hmm. I probably wouldn't despise American Idol type shows if this caliber of talent was the norm, rather than the exception. That and the fact that I'm a guy, so I'm genetically wired to hate the show anyway.

[arimasen37]

i think ryan has a crush on her.

[TheJlit]

TIm SUCKED A compared to this girl! I hope she finds success!

[twbrkfd1]

I like Fleetwood Mac, and this rendition was fantastic! Sweet! She sings it with great emotion. I hope she does well in the future. Good luck to you Didi!

[nissanaltima17]

I love Fleetwood Mac, but I did not like the way she sang it. :( It was very "airy", sorry.

[bennbed]

i didnt know this song before she sang this. after she sang it, i fell in love with the song immediately.

[MuSiC4fOrLiFe]

her voice at the beginning reminded me Taylor Swift

[Laurabright21]

@MuSiC4fOrLiFe

i totally agree!

i love her she was one of my favorite contestants of all the seasons i wish she had made it further :(

[sara31tx]

One of my Favorite songs of all time and one of the best performances ever by Stevie Nicks was too this song! Have too say that I enjoyed this performance by Didi

[Szederp]

Fucked up version of Rhiannon. No talent at all!

[mizmallary]

its caled rhiannon

[neputnusofthesea]

Since she made it different than the original it actually sounds really good.

[lolqueto]

really really good.. everything... voice tone,... really good.. shes got other voice tones that others have..... but these one is her best...... really good.....

[roounited]

she has the same name as me rhiannon rox

[tlinn50]

Stevie does it better.

[RMS1103]

@tlinn50 Yes..She does. It's her song. But Didi put her own special spin on the song. I think Stevie would love this version of 'Rhiannon'. Great job Didi.

[spaceman24]

Pretty good job! Interesting she chose the original version of the song.

I would have preferred to hear the second version which I think she could have done more with.

[dHoyhee10]

i so wanted to hear didi sing an inspirational song....

why is she voted off???!!!!

[crazyramus]

ok simon!

[SnillePersille]

Love this girl. She's sweet, beautiful and has a great voice. Too bad her wanting to show her range ended up being confusing and not so consistent to the judges (and apparently a ton of americans, haha). She has some serious talent, so it was sad to see her go. I stopped watching.. Still shocked they didn't save her, but she will do great anyways, that's for sure. :)

[mmqpichardo]

i can't stop listening to this song. Crazy beautiful. She made it her own.

[mmqpichardo]

you she killed this song. damn

[jasdancho]

that was SOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

[rainbowgirl3646]

i love her shes my fav

[jessiicagomez]

what are the chords to play this song like this?!

[SnillePersille]

@jessiicagomez It is really easy to play! There's some great tutorials for it on this site.. just search for "Rhiannon lesson" or something like that. :)

[bennbed]

terrified, the way iam, rhiannon, playing w/ fire........

i'd definitely buy too

[imaginethat1721]

she was my favorite, sad shes gone,. she shouldnt have gone.. i dont watch idol anymore. go didi~!~ i was always a fan(:

[twinruby2]

It's hard listening to another version other than Stevie Nicks, almost painful because the original is so incredible. But she has a great voice and did a good job making the song her own. It's sad she isn't on idol anymore but she's going to be a huge success on her own.

[TROMAbryce]

She's voted out and Tim Urban still one the show. Guess it's because all the ugly fatass girls are jealous cuz Didis pretty and there not. Soo they vote for Tim who can't sing for shit. fuck american idol, it isn't even about singing any more

[tylenoljunkie]

@TROMAbryce I happen to be an 'ugly fatass girl' and I would rather eat broken glass than vote for Tim Urban.

[TROMAbryce]

@tylenoljunkie that's because you're a lesbo

[zachsings94]

check out my cover on my channel:)

[tryout24]

she should have stayed at least till top 5 !

i even did a cover of this song after i heard her sing it.. check it out and comment

[hooser0523]

they eliminated her tooo too early(: she must get a recording contract!

[DeviouslyStupid]

doesnt she look like taylor swift?

[tafnat629]

it was unfortunate that she was voted out..... i thought she was going to win... they pick tim urban instead...

[Bombeni]

@tafnat629 "They picked Tim Urban instead"  --- they were actually about neck to neck as far as musical talent goes, so I guess it boiled down to the public choosing between the Season 9 Smiler and the Season 9 Bawlbag.

[mericapedas]

i loveeeee it!!!

[jessnally]

i love didi..how sad she's out..

[sweetsoureisha]

It's too short. I want more of the song from her.. I cried when she got to the part when will you ever win.. :( why you had to be voted off?

[Museleaders]

great preformance here, and same with terrifed, failed to impress the other times thoughs

[oceanspringsgurl]

i would buy her cd too, i love her voice

[oceanspringsgurl]

i would buy her cd too, i love her voice

[threebyzanablond]

she does not have the "thunder" that stevie nicks has to sing this song!

[NielsPokemon]

. tim should be the one to go home tonight and not didi ! she's better than tim or katie ! :((

[AllyKat0143]

I loved her... she was my fav. so sad she got voted off tonight

[mcclellandt]

wow this was so good, she has such an interesting and unique voice, id definitely buy her music. its a bummer she did what becomes of the broken hearted and got out. her performance of this was amazing

[gossipgleek09]

Dear american idol, the elimination of Didi Benami has officially put the nail in the coffin... I'm sooo done with this season.... bye!!

[imaginethat1721]

@gossipgleek09 i soooooo agrrreeee! i dont think i am gonna finish the season. hell no ... now that she is not there.~~~~~~i love you didi! i rootted for you all the way

<3 d

[MrsPattinson444]

@gossipgleek09

Totally!!

[mcclellandt]

wow this was so good, she has such an interesting and unique voice, id definitely buy her music. its a bummer she did what becomes of the broken hearted and got out. her performance of this was amazing

[onetreehillfan89]

I can't believe she left tonight :-( she has an amazing voice they should have given her another chance!!!

[paulcollins1995]

this has to be the best version of this song i have ever heard!

[mcclellandt]

@paulcollins1995 totally agree! i mean i always thought the lyrics fit a softer song and she did it perfect!

[ReeseMac]

...dunno what Randy was listening to. That was pretty. Beautiful ending to the song.

[dirtylos30]

She has a pretty good voice. She will win it all more because of her look. She's sexy, good image. After she wins, she'll get more voice trainging and become a better singer.

[ANDANOTHERONE]

you have it the other way around

[mcclellandt]

@dirtylos30 you lose

[AviEtE1]

So love this song ;D*

[jangeks]

2:57 hehe, nice ellen.. haha

avid fan from the Philippines.

[okatherine]

DIDI <3

[MrMuziekfan]

Very beautiful performance Didi, i hope you win, i wish you good luck ***** :):):)

[spaceman24]

@MrMuziekfan

[justRUNalex]

wow this song is soo good! Never heard the original but i keep playing it over and over =]

[Melissa6456]

really its off of fleetwood mac's greatest hits. stevie nicks is the lead singer

[phuc2308]

i don't really love the song that much, but Didi sing much better than Rhiana, that's for sure.

[catdogeffect]

I like how Randy gets owned by the rest of the judges, and when Simon compliments Didi he tries he does that annoying 'yeah yeah' what a douche!!

[smurfgrl95]

2:42 haha

[inkyscribbles]

Okay this would make Stevie Nicks proud, I hope she saw it! This is what should have happened with T Swift at the Grammys ... This girl took a great classic and made it her own, while being true to Stevie's vision.

[Xx619GamerxX]

please help, ive been looking for one of her songs it goes like "yououou take me away...." i forgot the name of the song!!! please help me

[sistasista856]

i think your talking about terrified?

[ProjectDivaGirls]

terrified?

[rosedcute]

the song is "the way i am" originally by ingrid michaelson. :)

[LalyBoricua]

@Xx619GamerxX is it "Take me the way I am" by Ingrid Michaelson???

[Mara613]

Cannot stop repeating this.

[Rockeymaru]

I'm going to miss Lily Scott. Lucky Didi is here!

[pyangable]

she reminds me of taylor. how awesome is that. i've tried downloading this song by her but i somehow failed.

[lolliberry23]

I love her version of this song. I'm so disappointed about last night. How in the world did Lily Scott got eliminated?

[143yy]

@lolliberry23 >>>yea shocking!!!

[POps01611]

im so happy didi is in, in top12.i love didi shes my favorite in the very beggining.

[metman18]

That was a very, very respectable cover. Well done.

[bertecrabtree]

WOWOWOWOWOW!!!

I Hope she wins cuz she is crazy like singer. Blew me away. I'd buy her music.

[katbeltejar]

true, charby. i can't believe paige is still in the competition. what's worse is that she doesnt even seem surprised that she still is, unlike katie (when lily got voted out). anyway, i LOVE this performance of didi's. so beautiful!

[worthman24]

whoever wants her to win VOTE VOTE VOTE!!! EVERY VOTE COUNTS

[cookiefann]

I have loved her from the beginning, along with Crystal Bowersox. I hope they are in the top three. (Crystal, Mike and Didi). She doesn't have to win, just stay long enough to keep giving these amazing heart-felt performances. I just love how she interprets the songs.

[steph08chiqlet]

she sings so relaxed yet have a very beautiful voice...i'm falling inlove with her...hahaha!!!...she's turning me into a lesbian...

[143yy]

@steph08chiqlet >>>hahah ellen?>>but love her 2

[charby09]

america got it wrong again last night how in the world did paige beat kaitlyn i swear if didi gets screwed im boycotting american idol forever its a damn popularity contest let the judges decide who stays and who goes they are the experts terrible casualties last night oh and go didi! win the darn thing!

[dray3398]

kinda reminds me of a twist of taylor swift and natasha bedingfield

[rnyc04]

didi is very good... she puts soul into the song... she's a great singer and she's my bet... the problem is that she lacks the appeal that she needs... but she's the best :D

[bojans04]

i Really hopes Didi wins!! <3

I hate that Crystal is the favourite,find her 'Janis Joplin style' boring and old-fashioned to be completely honest...I would never buy her record...

Didi ftw!!!!!

[jkq49]

didi better win. shes the best. shes got this sexiness about her and her voice is so unique.

[hydra1992009]

wow so much soul in that!!

[courtPOOOL]

Didi is my FAVORITE! She's simply amazing and has so much soul behind her voice!! Definitely voted for her about 100 times Tuesday night. I really hope she wins :) I would say this is almost better than the original! Love her!!!

[megatonydeath]

really good remake. but the lack of lindsey buckingham's guitar is lame ya know? one of the best riffs ever. But still great and beautiful.

[jac712]

It's simply called "Rhiannon".

[andrewc09]

she did this song WAY better than Taylor Swift...i still love u though haha

[recunning06]

Amazing! I love this version of Rhiannon. I would download that song a million times. Ahh.

[garvsd]

I love her. she is so real when she sings versus the others who stand there and sing the words and dont respect their meaning

[Koigokoro4ever]

i was named after this song and after her singing it i'm proud.

[xRhiannaxx]

i was tooo ! except my names rhianna aha

[tintin27tube]

Didi, Crystal, Lilly and Siobhan is definitely a lock for the Top 12.

[msmcpamiwack17]

i agree although i dont like lilly or siobhan too much i think all these picks will be top 12 but who are ur other 2 female picks its 6 boys and 6 girls

[tintin27tube]

@msmcpamiwack17 I want Lacey and Katelyn to go through but I'm not quite sure they can make it though.

[dman747707]

@tintin27tube Paige is a goner for sure. Its between Katelyn and Katie for me to go home.

[habatyu]

I actually hope Katie will go. Haha.

[tintin27tube]

Yeah, I really hope that Katelyn stays coz she can pull off amazing songs with her vocals. I just can't see any star potential from Paige and Katie. Katie sounds too old too be considered current. Paige is just... blah..
