Paul Kim - Careless Whisper

[t2dragon]

If they could have used a save back then or a wild card round, Paul would have benefited from a second chance. Matt Giraud, Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson, Anoop Desai, Steano Langone, Naima Adedapo, JPL all benefited from the wild card.

[theazn07]

why is he not wearing shoes?

[vietstyle888]

@theazn07 He said it makes him feel more comfortable

[theazn07]

@vietstyle888 someone should really tell him how dirty that floor is lol

[buklao559]

@theazn07 ur azn u dont know? wtf lololololololl

[theazn07]

@buklao559 apparently i don't lol ya i'm asian...but i always wear shoes when i go out..

[buklao559]

@theazn07 oh got me there

[SoloPlayah]

he should try out for American Idol again...cuz I think he got a lot better over the years

[7BlankOut7]

If there was an Asian Idol he'll win

[TheeAverageAsian]

Paul Kim now; His voice changed. His falsetto dayum. CHECK HIS SONG.

Paul Kim - Thinking about You.

[iWRITEonMYhands336]

He should have won. He's my favorite artist. I love this guy<33

[djsuperhiro]

He's much more than a Karaoke Bar voice, but he doesn't have Star quality. Still awesome to see talent like that though :D

[kaochiixBby]

he was sick. but i love him :D

[carol02086]

he has good voice~

[heyrnard]

jejjejejejej muy bueno pero desafino un poquitin

[iinfektiv]

GOT SHOES?

[linDorko]

Pwahaha..... (o.o) NO SHOES!? WHAT!? LOL

[AmericanIdolz2011]

Pitchy. I just didn't like it.

[gchild123]

hes got the rhymtn and flow and i love the concept of wearin no shoes

[TheLadyPrincess007]

super singer háhá

[commenf26071991]

his mom got rythm...



[UNDERYOURBED03]

Cingular!

[Jeiygo]

I like this guy's song choices but I'm not impressed by him vocally.

[creolelady89]

mmm he could lead me to the dance floor. Still pisses me off he was eliminated. They had other people that should have been eliminated

[wyverngirl69]

@creolelady89 He could do all kinds of things to me on the dance floor...and off. ;) *wipes drool off chin*

[SANNAFABICH]

is he doing gangstah movements? LOL

[filipinofalcon77]

the falsetto screwed him over...

[dezzy228]

The only part I like about this song is the ending that he did was sweet.

[crystalclear155]

so sexy.

[gyrlie]

he completely killed thiis song!!..

i can listen to it over, and over, and over without getting tired of it...

i love hiis voice!!..he should have won..

[ChinitaPhuongVyDinh]

how far did he make it?

[creolelady89]

@ChinitaPhuongVyDinh not very far. A couple of weeks. I swear made me so mad I didn't watch the rest of that season.

[AnnieIuno]

..how come he's not wearing shoes.. lol well no wonder the judges didnt pass him cuz he didnt have shoes on. hows does he expect them to dance with him with no shoes on..? lol lame joke =P

[lovingcolorful]

uuhh... I'm sure that he was nervous.. He is pretty handsome anyway. He should be doing good now he looks confident. 

[filipinoking55]

this guy is tight

[gfunk449]

pitchy and yeah... oops! on the falsetto notes. he could have belted it out harder on the high notes. he sounds a bit old.

[trc2rockon]

PS, he was cut way too soon. He has a couple songs on iTunes right now, and he's so much better than this. He shouldn't have gone. He had huge potential...

[jade672]

paul kim goes to my korean church! haha i have connections =P

[imagemenow]

is he wearing no shoes? :O

[o0Smexy0o]

Really good!

[AlphaMusicGroup1]

not to mention the /failfalsetto.

[AlphaMusicGroup1]

omg horrible high notes.. so sad omg, lots of off-key moments, karaoke resemblance. seroiously..

[jrocker324]

he should have worn shoes. and even though his face may have looked like he was trying to hard, he was having fun. i think its just the arrangement that didn't work out. its not the song choice. he can sing this song.

[xXCloseCombatXx]

wow 12 racist bastards...>=(...sad

[sourzzon]

OMG this is good!

[david5767]

he is better then george michael i think george would love is version ten out of ten

[kharitaskevin]

wrong song choice but great song !! must u show the guilty feet bare footed ?

[MechaRadio]

the non-shoe wearing thing was stupid. I don't know any girl who's said "oh my god, he's so hot with his shoes off". But I'm sure he's turned on several gay men.

[VIL388]

@MechaRadio

he can score more girls than i bet you ever can in life

[Syaaj17]

WRONG SONG CHOICE!!! UGH! Gosh, if he chose a different song, he would of done a LOT better..

[MsKGB1]

WHAT? That song just ruined him, why would you pick it? Did anyone tell him? Love no shoes, do it your way :)

[shakemybutt]

WOOOOOOOOT KOREAN :DDD

[MysteryPisser]

very weak falsetto

[yourmommm123]

wronnngg sonngg choiceeee :/ but incredible voice

[moos209]

1:13 HERRROOO haha

[vicious321]

Nice voice at R & B!!

[TheRealDeal1515]

why does he act like he's rapping? lol

[blahblahblahunited]

epic fail on the falsetto LOL. and why is he adding the rape shit in this song? doesnt fit

[weavedawg234]

to this day im still wondering why he sang that falsetto part...you can either sing falsetto or you can't....he can't...so why he do it live in fron of millions and millions....

i still think he has a good voice though. if he had lowered the key just a little bit he may have made it a lot further. oh well, you win some you lose some.

[joomioh]

to quote Ellen "You should put some shoes on, dear -- it's filthy here. Hollywood is a disgusting town." - the fool should have put on shoes but at least his dad looks groovy lol

[yookoke112]

damn,... wrong song....

2010 에 다시 한번 참석 하셨으면....

[69franco]

wrong choice of song and the barefoot look did it's number..

[blackspawn89]

Wow Ryan Seacrest was bouncing up and down for this song LOL

[Silverlenses4]

He's not wearing shoes! HEHE

[kharoon2000]

bad singer...

[LarryDWilmore79]

And why he didn't win. I kno' he missed dat note, but he still played it off an' then backed it up with poewer note. I like him.

[PatrolTard]

@LarryDWilmore79 he was off on more than "one" note, not only that he won't stop breathing in the mic. and he sounds too whiny. he's got talent but It's clear why he didn't win.

[mrrandomsheep]

he is korean kim is a korean last name

[BoondocksStudio]

He is part Filipino you all American Idol 2010 has another 2 pinoys Andrew Garcia and Vannessa Quintilla :) It runs in the BLOOD!!!

[sithu04]

[moesalim88]

جميل جدا صوته حلو

[KBDB91]

[U2B8]

[WorldOfIvillis]

@U2B8 i saw u comment on some other videos but u should seriously watch what u say what race r u? u think either ur kind can do any better? u fucken mexican? black? white? i dont give a shyt we are all human being and the way u talk u dont deserve to be any better than a cacaroach that roam around looking for scraps of food ppl left behind

[kagatura]

smooth would love to see him really soar, with a great song

[MrLianglaoshi]

고음이 불안정하군

[takumisensei]

Straight up asian. No shoes! ahahah! awesome!

[47claymore]

[takumisensei]

LOL i got thumbs down for my comment. I don't know why? I'm asian myself, and no shoes is also my style. CRAZY DUDE!

[1PHRINCES]

@takumisensei ..lol i was juss puzzled when I seen that..Anyone that lives in the bay area he will be at The New Parish in Oakland for Monday Soul 1/31/11

[happiness752]

[Lindinha3999]

égua do cara lindooo!

[Lindinha3999]

lindooo

[elionammm]

yeah most def bad song choice...

[AsiansUnite10]

ur a jew

[Playstationboi]

good voice, wrong song...oh yeah that high part sounded bad

[238pyt]

@Playstationboi you are so right wrong song!!

[hillsong1004]

I wonder why he sang this song.... It just doesn't go along with his voice and singing style. He has other performances that are better suited -_-

[MRBBJC]

Wrooooong song! And please, why not use shoes!

[jammyjo610]

ok singer...likeable person though

[t2dragon]

Would a wild card round have saved him? He has a similar likability and voice to Anoop. Paula and Randy seemed to like him enough to bring him back

[520musiclife]

really no good

[SuperAntiracist]

Turn down the back ground music and let the boy sing. They were just scared that Asia had a little talent not America.

[carloh011]

wts with him 00:31-00:38 puked?

[bigjabba]

lol where's this guy's shoes.

[trodrig12]

it was his "good luck" thing. hahaha he said it in his video before the performance

[riveoside]

It's kinda cool that he can sing like that when he has such a deep voice when he talks. It's like 2 completely different voices.

[francomade]

LOL

[1hardrocker1]

PK is amazing

[VinZNT]

too bad he's ugly

otherwise he'd make it

[CzechMate44]

lol nothing racist, but,

major FOB parents at 1:11

[pko322]

what's so fob about that...their just supporting their kid......any parents would be doing that

[jhonene]

yup you right..

pinoy idol Kid's Versin is much better than him :-j of this song

[beyondsupreme]

be a racist , i like that way

[Samperor]

His voice is way to low for this song.

[69franco]

wrong choice of song for his voice

[coasterguy5]

1:13 - 1:18

[1hardrocker1]

LOL

haha his voice fucked up there didnt it.. but never the less he was and is stilll amazing!

[Tysophyrum]

his voice is incredible.. but he didn't make it because of his falsetto

[shayisaac]

Yo bro. Totally agree with you dowh. George's falsetto is consistent. That what makes oldies like him good in singing any song without even tweak any part of original melody. But, Paul Kim still gave his great effort in bringing the vibe of the song. But, he lack of soul especially when he did the falsetto. This might not be his 'easy song'. It was more to like he challenged himself thru this song ... and he lose it ... sad.

[k4lnamja]

TRUST me, Paul can def hit the high parts and has as much soul as mr. james brown himself.

The guy was sick during that week and you could totally hear it in his voice. Listen to his new stuff . . . .so good!

[kparkproductions]

why is he bare foot?

[RyuSamurai]

because at the beginning he says "I'm never gonna dance again(talking about his feet)These feet has got no rhythm(so why wear shoes??)"

[tengfung2000]

nothing to do with racism. They US and racist? No way!!! There is always going to be "racism" in society. OBAMA is president!!! That racism thing here in the US, I don't believe it anymore. "You work hard and play by the rule" and you shall succeed. --Benjamin Franklin

[leon6266]

fuking his voice is grt well what can u do when you have racist country letting his dream down. He sings beta dan da actual singer

[leon6266]

he was great but you know what it all comes to discrimination racist busted Americans

[ToXiCpImPz]

its cuz he was asian he got cut off

[EddyK1991]

it was becasue he took off his shoes.. lol

[9k2j6]

I think he DID GREAT!!

[ethi0chick]

he didnt do soo good. but i lovedd his auditionn.

[t2dragon]

He has certain similarities to Anoop. Would he have benefited from a wildcard?

[shakemybutt]

i love his hand motion when he sings

[o0blueberrysky0o]

so many racist people on this comment..page

[TallClassyStyle]

He can sing, thats just not his song....

[standard199]

good voice, but bad perfomance

[greybash]

true that

[shaaronie]

See his Idol Audition tape. They should have let him sing Shai's "lady is a friend", bummer. They set him up. No way he picked this song. That boy can blow, for real. Not his best and not his fault.

[Linhtastic]

Why isn't he wearing shoes? o.o

[PeaceLoveTati]

he actually has a good voice now..i was at a faire last weekend and he was performing there and he was really good.here he just kinda murdered it...

[o0blueberrysky0o]

racist

[loganidol]

I'm not racist! I just said his singing was terrible. I didn't say anything about him being Asian.

[o0blueberrysky0o]

racist

[myshadowz205]

you made this song sound bad

[thashogun1]

he fucked up lol. lol. twas great

[gately25]

He is not good at all.

[abprepboy33]

hey does anybody know where he went to highschool? Prospect or Saratoga?

[cameron121234]

he isnt wearing shoes x3

[thashogun1]

lol

[Caelest]

If only he had nailed that falsetto @1:15...im sure it was mentioned already, but he did have the flu the night he sung this btw, so how much impact that had on his performance is debatable, but i think he would have been a hell of a contestant down the line. Wish you the best PK /

[colabubblegum]

i think he had difficulty singing this song. i think. but that can just be his voice.

But still he was one of the best.

[BlakStaRRock3r]

hes good

[MrSlowJamz]

what happened man... 1:15 was pretty bad. lol.

[JunWing1234]

ive seen better asian singers but this guy is alright.. i'd prefer him then any other nuts asian out they're

[idontknowwutnametous]

i like his voice..

[anneznie]

I like his voice..He's great

[ariellemippolito]

i loved this guy :(

[5554651]

I think he did an okay job. I like the smooth sound of his voice! I wish he would have done better!

[AIChamp08]

I just listened to the original version of that song less than 2 hours ago this version is really out of tune.

[Ginne86]

got* is a typo...

[0803165]

intense intense intense yaaaaayayayayayayayayayayayaya­yayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya­yayay intense yayayayayayayayayayayayayaya

[fraglrock]

wtf are you talking about wear shoes? what's wrong with being comfortable on stage? there have been PLENTY of famous artists who have performed without them. I swear this was a competition about talent and [sadly] looks, but shoes don't seem like a big deal.

[robro]

if you're going to be taken seriously, and you're an AMATEUR, then you should do everything you can not to have any thing detract from that. Esp. if you have ugly feet.

If you're Justin Timberlake, Mariah, and you're already a star, then of course you can get away with it because of your status.

It's pretty obvious.

[popup14]

HAHAHA LOL

[ixfr3ddo]

alright. im korean but seriously people are going to be turned off by people not wearing shoes. PUT ON SOME SHOESSS

[mysweetlemonade]

i like his voice :)

[h1ddenmis7]

actually Se7eN is debuting in US rite now...in fact he has already worked with artists such as Fabolous, Darkchild, and 3 6 Mafia

[mi036]

asian have more talent..unlike some Americans like britney, paris hilton, linssay...this guy has alot of talent..but race is probably the problem..shows how racist americans can be

[BlingyDamon3]

three of the top four that year were minorities

and one of them won

so stop your shit

[mi036]

what shit?.. whats wiht the word minorities make it seem like asians are inferior to "majorities".

who won, that year? I dont know what your talking about David Cook won this year and for 2007,Jordin Sparks is mix..she's half african american and caucasion.. so obviously she isn't asian.
