He was robbed and this is why I stopped watching Idol. I got sick of them passing up talent for looks. Meaning young and blond . This is why they have not had any good winners since Fantasia.
Both Junot and Jorge were cool. It's the stupid ass blind guy people wanted to vote for. I feel like Jonot would've had a better chance on a different season.
this is the only plain white ts song that i like. i think he was amazing! it was original well sang and fantastic. the judges shouldve picked him in the wild card round instead of von smith. hes too loud!
One of the best renditions and performances of that song and it was a shame they wouldnt give him a chance to compete. Such a smooth delivery and soulful sound.
This was the best original artist of American Idol in my opinion that season. The fux up thing was he didn't even make through the 1st round. I would have wanted to see what else he would of done that season. These new American Idols don't understand that they have to sound original with some swagger to their sound. They're just singing songs the same way it was written with a little twist, if that. The only person this season that had a chance but didn't was Andrew Garcia. If Andrew just new.
hey there Juknot..sorry if i spelled name wrong..I was one of your first comments on here after this song.America apparently does believe in you,,judges got it wrong. let me know when you put out an album. your fan ,,wildwindsinohio
I hate tht he didn't make it thru b/c this is 1 of the best performances tht season!! I dnt even remember the other ppl frm tht season! for the past few yrs American Idol has sucked, they dnt even allow the better singers 2 even make it 2 the top 24, & I think tht's messed up!!
I agree. I LOVED this version. It is so much better than the original and remains on my ipod in its place. He should NOT have been cut and should try again. There have a number of 2nd try folks. On the other hand, there are many other routes to becoming a recording star.
I downloaded it shortly after I heard it on the show from itunes; unfortunately, AI &/or itunes does not leave these early rounds available for long. You can still see it on youtube videos, but I don't know about just music downloads for ipod or mp3.
I was really rooting for this guy, could not believe that he was cut!! I do believe thogh that it stemmed from the fact that it came out he had a problem with asthma!! Show did not want to be libel I guess if anything happend. Such a waste though...so many losers win!!
i could see y he didnt make it the first time to the top 12, but he should have been in the wildcard round at least.. there were tons of guys in the wildcarrd that were ridiculous (von smith for example)
I HATE THIS DAMN SONG!!! thank god this band is over and done with...another one hit wonder! idol is not rigged! boo hoo...you didn't win, get over it!
exactly...cause its a setup...they showcase who they want on the show more. if all of the people were like ju'not(you know the ones who actually can sing), America wouldn't watch. So they showcase the marketable people. It's a business
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
everyone who didnt make the top 13 would always say the show's rigged.. hello??ever think they were just bad..it's no that complicated..im a huge idol fan but sadly, i dont remember this performance..junot, you suck!
i am so not surprised that amidol is rigged. every season, theres like a different type of person winning. And i mean like that one season, taylor hicks?? its only because he was different. and look, hes not going anywhere.
The producers make you THINK that you control who wins, which causes the ratings to go up because everyone wants to watch and then vote later. But the producers actually just choose the winners.
Concerning the latest comments..IDOL is simply a way to make rich people more $..The best singer doesn't win..w/all respect tho..Ju Not is not that good
there is no reason tht this guy shouldn have made it to the top 13 when i saw this performance n i saw he wasnt picked for the wild card i knew idol was fixed
Look at clay aiken, he did better than ruben outside of idol.
plus the really only bad part about idol is they dont want anyone thats considered ugly, or fat. a good friend of mine is a really good singer butt hey wouldnt let her audition.
Sorry, dude. Rigged or not, the producers must know what they're doing because most of the winners and members of the top 12 in the past seasons have made it well in the business. Now, there's this guy who's trying to get back his 15 minutes of fame. Pshhhh.
LOL once again yea i read the article i wanted to hear the song that they were talking about but im not going to come on here and act like a gay little kid because he exercised his right of FREE SPEECH, plus me coming in here trash talking a youtube video is not going to make my day any better, you all act like your getting paid for doing this unnecessary bitching or that he actually is going to watch this youtuve video and actually give a fuck about your temper tantrums
This bitch is probably coming out with a cd soon thats why he's talking shit...NinthWardJay shut the fuck up dick youre here because u read the fucking article on yahoo too asshole.
lol so i guess a lot of the fags read the yahoo article and decide to come on here and bitch like bitched so they can feel a little bit better about their super shitty lives laughing my ass off get a life dumbfucks, but anyway it was a good rendition of the song.
haha see what i mean... i put bitched instead of bitches and apparently this person want to bitch.... so how about you learn how to comprise a proper sentence idiot. A SUBJECT and a verb is needed loser. Now i am really laughing my ass off.
I was talking to GinaGlocksenFan, moron. She/he spelt horrid, hirrod. I mean, if you're going to say something bad about something, they should've at least spelt it correctly. Jeez, you're really defensive, aren't you?
ok..all you haters lol, if amidol is not a show about talent, its about the person. its not about singing, its about how much you like the individual...and once i figured that out i hated it since, the only season i watched the whole way through made me cringe whe jordan won because i thought it was about singing...and if it was then she should have never won...i see some people sometimes who cannot sing at all make it to the top 13...i'm glad you people like it though :)
you suck , ya' cry baby , now you're trying to get attention by talkin' trash against the idol show , your a sleazy typical piece of shit , plus your music sucks , get a real fuckin' job
Well its about time someone with some balls spoke out against this fraud of a show. This show being rigged is one of the worst kept secrets in television.
I thought everyone knew, but just avoided talking about it. Its a business, and trying to pick a winner to earn a record contract. There is no way they are going to leave that in the hands of fans.
Ok yeah he can sing, but he was not that great. I don't like him at all especially since he's now trying to ruin an awesome show. Also Adam is not gay. I know the girl that went to prom with him. Also he's a natural blond lol. Anyway I'm glad Chris won because he needed American Idol more. Adam already had it made and didn't need American Idol. I love Chris but he will need more help then Adam. They're both nice guys and I honestly didn't care who won unlike if this jerk had.
Yeah except they were boyfriend girlfriend. Why would you think he's gay. He's kinda weird and interesting but honestly why does everyone always jump to that ridiculous conclusion about anyone who's different.
Nah, I'm not saying he's gay. I honestly don't know anything about him. Just making a point that going to a high school prom with a girl is not indicative of sexual preference.
I think Ju'Not did a wonderful job. He was a little weak during the beginning, but that could probably be chalked up to nerves. His interpretation did not leave me running to listen to the Plain White T's version which usually happens when I hear bad covers! His vocals are the match of Adam Lambert, but then neither is Chris' and he won. I hope somebody snatches Ju'Not up and offers him a recording deal, because he was WAY better than some of those who did make the top "13!"
personally that performance wasn't that great, he slowed it down, but didn't add much flair to it. the voice control definately could've been a lot better, the flux between his higher octave and his lower one was so noticable it made me cringe at some points.
I don't know how well Ju'Not would have done if it wasn't fixed, but after Adam Lambert didn't win when his sexuality was found out you have to know it's fixed. Fox didn't want to have a gay american idol. It was obvious to me anyway.
I just read a story about this guy on Yahoo. He doesn't have the voice control that Idol is looking for. I'm calling BS on his report that Idol is fake. He can hit notes, but he can't control it like most of the other singers.
He isn't great, and if it wasn't fixed I don't know how much better he would have done, but I think it's fixed. Adam Lambert didn't win because they found out he was gay.
I liked Ju'Not and believe the show isn't on the up and up. Remember these 2: Katherine McPhee over Chris Daughtry as well as Sanjaya ove Sundance. It got people talking and watching.
Actually everyone was pissed that Daughtry went home. A lot of people actually stopped watching the show because of that and thats why they made the save for this season. Also Ju'Not could sing but he wasn't that amazing
the show is rigged he was onje of the better singers in this season the show is rigged the producers pick the winners the fans dont but no shame in losing theres plenty of more oppurtunity's out there but most singers that win this dont go on to be that successful kelly is thats all i can think of
He technically screwed that up. It was a good effort and he will have a career in music but he had a lot of flaws in his actual performance. Too many pops on the mic and gasping for breathe noise. This isn't a show to build up ego's and falsely praise singers... they can be cruel but its to the performers benefit in the end.
Yeah, I got here from yahoo too...I actually didn't expect much; he seemed like someone who was just sore about losing at first, but this changed my mind. Only bad thing about this video is the nauseatingly annoying yellow arrow.
there have been many talented ppl to lose on the show and move on to success but i have to say that there may be alot of truth to wat he said about the behind the scenes stuff cuz even now after all this time kelly clarkson is having issues in her music contract and she is a friggin grammy winner who won the first AI show. and just because he is vocal about not wanting to give up his freedom as an artist for the sake of a show he may not win doesnt mak ehim bitter he was just being cautious.
I like that he held back, I hate how every "Idol" hold notes as long as possible, and they butcher it every time, songs aren't meant to be made up of one long note.
And this also proves that he's not like everyone else on the show, he did something different with it.
So who else came here because of what he said about AI being rigged though? lmao
simply amazing! i actually believe what he had to say about AI being fixed - I cannot for the life of me believe he was not asked back for the wild card. HELL, he should have had to make the wild card - he should have been ON the show! Stop with all the racist comments too - I am white and know talent when I hear it!
There was OBVIOUSLY some reason you were not asked back as a wild card. I knew it at the time, too. And it SURE wasn't your voice. It's hard to speak out against "the machine." You have incredible talent. Pray and have faith! Kami
i just read the AI article where he called AI fake, so this is the only reason i am watchin this or know who this guy is. he has a nice voice, but he isnt great or nothin. i wouldnt buy his album, but i probably wouldnt change the channel on the radio if i heard him sing. . . but i might because his voice doesnt really grab me that much.
I don't like the way he sings it. Not saying he's bad but I would not let him win this competition. I think there is someone else better than him. So if he says it's rigged than that means he has to hear himself sing because I don't think he's a first place winner.
Junot is an awesome vocalist! I believe him, I auditioned for Idol they allready know what they want! They do their research, its just out of luck that your'e supergood or they scoped you out somewhere on the net! Keep it going Junot! =) See you at the top lol
He was robbed and this is why I stopped watching Idol. I got sick of them passing up talent for looks. Meaning young and blond . This is why they have not had any good winners since Fantasia.

and then there was jorge
who probably had all of puerto rico and many latin people in amewrica voting for him

His interpretation did not leave me running to listen to the Plain White T's version which usually happens when I hear bad covers! His vocals are the match of Adam Lambert, but then neither is Chris' and he won. I hope somebody snatches Ju'Not up and offers him a recording deal, because he was WAY better than some of those who did make the top "13!"

IDK if the show is rigged, but i do think they manioulate the contestants.
having said that, this guy didn't impress me the slightest bit. Average at best
brianmf08 2 years ago
personally that performance wasn't that great, he slowed it down, but didn't add much flair to it. the voice control definately could've been a lot better, the flux between his higher octave and his lower one was so noticable it made me cringe at some points.

I read on yahoo that he says that idol winners and everything is fixed... and also said public votes have nothing to do with results.... hmmm?
iL0veDavidArchuleta 2 years ago
I don't know how well Ju'Not would have done if it wasn't fixed, but after Adam Lambert didn't win when his sexuality was found out you have to know it's fixed. Fox didn't want to have a gay american idol. It was obvious to me anyway.

I just read a story about this guy on Yahoo. He doesn't have the voice control that Idol is looking for. I'm calling BS on his report that Idol is fake. He can hit notes, but he can't control it like most of the other singers.
TheGuyWithOneEye 2 years ago
He isn't great, and if it wasn't fixed I don't know how much better he would have done, but I think it's fixed. Adam Lambert didn't win because they found out he was gay.

I liked Ju'Not and believe the show isn't on the up and up. Remember these 2: Katherine McPhee over Chris Daughtry as well as Sanjaya ove Sundance. It got people talking and watching.
nathlms 2 years ago
Actually everyone was pissed that Daughtry went home. A lot of people actually stopped watching the show because of that and thats why they made the save for this season. Also Ju'Not could sing but he wasn't that amazing

Yeah, to get good reviews from the judges and not even get a chance in the wild card seems a little too fishey to me.....

the show is rigged he was onje of the better singers in this season the show is rigged the producers pick the winners the fans dont but no shame in losing theres plenty of more oppurtunity's out there but most singers that win this dont go on to be that successful kelly is thats all i can think of

He technically screwed that up. It was a good effort and he will have a career in music but he had a lot of flaws in his actual performance. Too many pops on the mic and gasping for breathe noise. This isn't a show to build up ego's and falsely praise singers... they can be cruel but its to the performers benefit in the end.

there have been many talented ppl to lose on the show and move on to success but i have to say that there may be alot of truth to wat he said about the behind the scenes stuff cuz even now after all this time kelly clarkson is having issues in her music contract and she is a friggin grammy winner who won the first AI show. and just because he is vocal about not wanting to give up his freedom as an artist for the sake of a show he may not win doesnt mak ehim bitter he was just being cautious.

I like that he held back, I hate how every "Idol" hold notes as long as possible, and they butcher it every time, songs aren't meant to be made up of one long note.
And this also proves that he's not like everyone else on the show, he did something different with it.
So who else came here because of what he said about AI being rigged though? lmao

There was OBVIOUSLY some reason you were not asked back as a wild card. I knew it at the time, too. And it SURE wasn't your voice. It's hard to speak out against "the machine." You have incredible talent. Pray and have faith! Kami

i just read the AI article where he called AI fake, so this is the only reason i am watchin this or know who this guy is. he has a nice voice, but he isnt great or nothin. i wouldnt buy his album, but i probably wouldnt change the channel on the radio if i heard him sing. . . but i might because his voice doesnt really grab me that much.
catseye664 2 years ago 3
I don't like the way he sings it. Not saying he's bad but I would not let him win this competition. I think there is someone else better than him. So if he says it's rigged than that means he has to hear himself sing because I don't think he's a first place winner.
