Didi Benami - Play With Fire (Top 12) American Idol Season 9 - 03/16/10

[Vertigo2903]

I honestly think she is better than Crystal, but Crystal picked better songs. Her voice connects better with me. This was real good.

[MObama183]

LOVE her voice and especially when she sings this song.!!!

[axelle32]

God I loved her SOO much. I miss her this season. I can't explain it. I LOVE this season the judges are great but i don't love the contestants nearlu as much as mich as I did last year. I feel like this year, it's more about the judges than the contestants. The contestants don't have that factor this year that makes me just loves them. Performances are fine, but so far, I haven't gone on youtube ONCE to re-listen to one. And I used to do it all the time last year especially for did benami!

[Kainosielu]

@axelle32 this season really isn't as good as last season. though many say last year was not good. but I disagree.

[axelle32]

@Kainosielu Actually yeah I agree with you. This season is more entertaining because of the judges and JLo but the contestants are not half as endearing as they were last year for me. Like I still re watch perfrmances of last year even now and always on youtube after a show to re watch my favorite performances. And truth is, even thgouh this year's contestants do have great voices, I never listen again afterwards, and I forget pretty easily. UNlike this performance by Didi! :)

[Dominus357]

Epic perfomance. 

[mathewtshowchoir]

simply amazing

[queenmanda24]

i wish she won right when she was off i stopped watching he voice is so different and caught my attention

[92Dionne]

Terrified was still the best<3 But i like her alot, wanted her to win:/

[tectonic0928]

NICE ~

[gabo2689]

She should have won. There, I said it.

[Baraz2003]

This was the best performance for me from her.

[chuckzzy09]

i hate how american idol ditches some real talent at the beginning then some generic artist with no real individuality wins the competition. didi was/is fantastic. this is music right now, she will make it on her own.

[ecermusic]

@chuckzzy09 Agreed. If you check out Didi's myspace, you can see the amazing songs that she and her friend wrote. She is a way better singer and artist than that guy who won. She and Crystal should have been final 2.

[penpen125]

In my own opinion, This was her best performance by ranking:

1.Terrified.

2.Angel.

3.Rhiannon.

4.Play with fire.

Thumbs up if you agree !! <3

[SeboZax7]

She was good enough to win. Somehow she fell through the cracks.

[meldivar]

@SeboZax7 She fell through the cracks due to her performance of What Becomes of the Broken Hearted. She probably shouldn't have gone out that week, but she put herself in that posistion.

[AIdolfan11]

I like her but when she sings 'fire' it sounds wierd!

[babybanana92]

She was my favorite I wanted her to win!!!

[DianaLinaL]

This was actually really good. Better than I remember.

[YTTVC]

she looks like taylor swift

[arvedsin]

I think she's phenomenal,it's a shame she had to go,she has so much more to offer than Lee,who sounds just like so many others...I hope she keeps trying,cause she deserves to be famous.

[grant122210]

this season sucked...Didi got kicked off too soon

[MoonInHerEyesx]

She's freaking cute :) Not as cute as Siobhan but she's still adorable :3

[htate51]

I like this song !

[americanidolx86]

to me, this is still the best performance of the season

[joshuanava819]

I think she should have stayed in the competition longer than she did.

[King509YAK]

She's Hott

[mrgentlemen1]

Omg, this is good. At some points of the video, i thought i am watching a live concert.

[Marlonblabla]

why should moms always show baby pictures xD?

She sings so fucking pretty incredible ;)!

[Weisenheimer78]

can they adjust the tempo of the song?

[hhhuuussshhh]

she reminds me of Taylor Swift but with the better quality.

[DaleMurph]

Wonderful job Didi.

[bffles9596]

i agree with movieman82us, wayyy better, and even prettier.

[navarrosgirl]

Didi ROCKEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DD the hell outta this song !

Except for at the end ...she kinda crack a lil bit ...but definitely one of her Best performances !! She was really good but then lost her way - still better than Andrew though ...and he should of been sent home before her!

[bennbed]

damn, she said if she hadnt been eliminated she wud hav sang Black Bird for the Beatles week!

[xoxoSmArTcUtIeoxox]

that was horrible

[gabriel1994]

notice her didi's head position is slanted and so is kara dioguardi's LOL

[TROMAbryce]

She didn't make it because ugly fat girls where jealous, so they all vote for tim WHO CANT SING WORTH SHIT. WAY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GONE A LONG TIME AGO. So i guess idol isn't about how you sing anymore, all about looks. So you know what FUCK AMERICAN IDOL. IM FUCKING DONE.

[toot8D]

@TROMAbryce

Aww I don't think it was about any fat ugly girls, I think it was about the teenage boy-obsessed girls. ):

[TROMAbryce]

@toot8D welll ur ugly so fuck you.

[toot8D]

@TROMAbryce

Wow.

[clarissagarcia06]

She's come a long way.

[MichaelinDenmark]

I refuse to compare with anybody - she is DIDI BENAMI -- and there is only ONE Didi Benami -- but she is STUNNING !!!

[brittany22b]

I will purchase a cd. I think she needs to get all of her songs together and I will be a fan to purchase cd. I have NEVER gotten a cd signed or felt such a wonderful inpact of someones voice. You need to sing with Celion Dion and Michael boublee

[zachsings94]

check out my version on my channel--i will love you forever! do it for didi!

[marylovesjane18]

shes mah babie, i litteraly cried when she got voted off. shes fine as hell & has a very unique voice. F**K the HAtErS

[MetallicBill]

I prefer the STONES by a long shot, The thing about this is the song works as it was recorded (during the actual recording, everyone had fallen asleep in the studio and Mick and Kieth put this one out... It was a very simple, plain brilliant song. I would compare it to "Lady Jane", which I'd prefer to hear I think

[dezinetech1000]

She's hot, can sing, good voice... She just picked the wrong songs and that's why she eliminated. Her genre is more of "terrified" acoustic guitar type.

[knicknacks08]

she's good!!! love her!

[magna101]

Didi is so annoying!!

[greenpokerchip]

didi and crystal all the way! haha

[02silvio]

AMAZING!!!

[okatherine]

didi all the way !!!

[lyn0906]

she is the most creative contestant ive ever known because she always have her own version on her...

[bjbler2396]

I am a loyal Crystal fan, but this performance stuck with me emotionally more than any performance this week and potentially this season

[DianaVickersFans]

same for me love it even tho i love Siobhan magnus i come to this performance more

[sheruelxpxp]

@bjbler2396 -- i love didi-- more than crystal

[meropants1]

3:00 she messed up

[lvu16]

loved it

[jHiLenE]

haha..seacrest's touch..

[lvu16]

shiobon and her top two

[daqiaofreak13]

she's great!!!

[sherbear2345]

i thought she was very pretty before. Here she looks like a botox'd mannequin face! Wish she would've stayed sweet and not moved to L.A. ...it changes you.

[lvu16]

shes good but shiobon isbetter

[888Sexbomb888]

def one of her best performances !!!

[PaleLittleGirl1]

i haven't liked her since terrified but she did SUCH a great job. i hope she makes it to the top 3

[PhilConran]

Haunting. Out of Season 9/Week 1, this song stayed with me all week. Loved it.

Great boots too.

[onlyteck25]

te Amo :D

[iluv777kstewart]

Didi your so freaking hot!!

[SouthernNYCgal]

Definitely best performance for that night, although that's not saying much because they really all trashed the Rolling Stones songs, except for this girl. Didi rocked it.

[143yy]

go go go didi!!!

[livos23]

yes indeed-y didi. heheheh LOVE ELLEN AND LOVE DIDI.

[knicknacks08]

i love her.. i didn't expect didi can deliver such lines with fierce.. she's so sweet.. from terrified to rhiannon. and now this one..wooohoo!

didi is fighting! she just have to fight her nerves.. her nervousness shows..

[dmitrivenko]

Siobhan is OVERRATED,OVERHYPED,i don't like her and i dont see why people like her,,,

DIDI IS MUCH BETTER!!!!GO DIDI!!!!!

[JPhillips17]

@dmitrivenko Saying Siobhan is overrated is like saying the Yankees suck at baseball.

Didi's last two songs have kicked ass too. I think Siobhan, Crystal, Didi and Lee are the top 4.

[GreenGirl331]

didi worked at my aunt's salon before idol she was nice

im not a big fan of didi but this performance was awsome!!

[Vertigo2903]

Stop comparing her to Taylor Swift

she is so cool and is a lot better

Her and Crystal are the best

Siobhan is getting annoying

[Vertigo2903]

I have said from the beginning that Crystal and Didi are the best in the whole competition...in their own league

Siobhan is good but her fans are starting to get on my nerves

Just Cause you can scream a high note doesn't mean you should win AI

[ZyrenDelacroix]

@Vertigo2903

Listen to Siobhan sing House of the Rising Sun. She doesn't have to scream a high note to kick ass.

Didi is in my top few, but Crystal is probably the more stereotypical one to win.

[robinjbr]

didi is a sexy bitch

[onlyteck25]

didi didi didi :D love u

[Americanrebel64]

I love everything about this woman.. Way better than overrated Sobiahn and crystal..

[shizzle242512]

she sounds great and love the song

i also loved siobhan she did amazing!!

omg i also loved her performince

[rosebud18181818]

i actually love this girl!! amazing. Didi, you rock. :D

[overthemoo]

Her vocal control is great. Would love to see her live and know I'll get a solid performance. (With that said, I don't mind people messing up, we're only human after-all.) And I dig her variety of song choices so far in the competition. Kudos to her, and I hope everyone continues to see she'll deliver something special every week. :)

[deeajustme]

I'm not her biggest fan but I really liked this performance... it's a great song and she did a good job.

[froggymc97]

i love her :)

[Clapinglad]

I wish people would stop comparing her to taylor swift.

[fact7even]

didn't think I would get sucked into the whole AI thing again, but after seeing this... God, her "don't mess with me" facial expressions are to die for. She makes Jagger sound kinda funny in the original. There are times when she can be compared to Taylor Swift, but she is actually capable of singing with a similar yet watered down vocal phrasing that of Rihanna.

[mrsedwardcullen4rlzz]

she sounds kinda

like Natasha Bedingfield

[lucky4evajase]

fave!

[101ShayBabe]

Whoahoooooo!!!!

[alsk2006]

her voice = taylor swift much?

[jobrothers47]

ehhh i dont think so. didi has a better voice than taylor

[SoOn2bMrsG88]

ohh no don't compare her to taylor swift...her voice is wayyyy better taylor's

[ModernSurvivor]

I think she's a better singer than Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift can't sing live.

[colieeex333]

I completely agree! she sounds like taylor swift

[overthemoo]

I'm not familiar with Taylor really, but I've heard similar voices to Didi's for years. You can go back to the 50s or 70s and find similar vocals. You can't avoid hearing similarities with so many singers putting their voices out there. And what does it matter? What's the point in mentioning they sound a little like someone else?

[coldplay4321]

@ alsk2006 she sounds NOTHING like Taylor swift, she actually sounds way better

[daber28]

Don't think so. Unlike Taylor Swift, Didi actually has a great voice.

[logotgr]

@daber28 agreed, everyone has a better voice than Taylor Swift, who has no vibrato.

[movieman82us]

She's way freaking better than Taylor Swift!!!

[itsmechisti]

@movieman82us HELL NO. Taylor Swift is still the best. Well, Didi is great on this performance. But Taylor is always great on all of her performance. :P

[karezdana]

<3333

she's really amazing. I hope she'll win. xD

[DianaVickersFans]

Didi*

[DianaVickersFans]

did Siobhan best

[dinosauricon]

I love her tone in this song didn't like her much at all before this now i'm pretty impressed

[hawklanzs]

my girl

[pr153]

go didi!!

[robinjbr]

siobhan sucks

[LuniaVideo]

Clearly the majority of people who watch American Idol AND the judges don't think so. They all agreed she was the best performance during that night.

[robinjbr]

@LuniaVideo i bet i could kick ur ass

[LuniaVideo]

@robinjbr I'm smarter and hotter than you and that's honestly all that matters in real life. Sorry. besides, I'm like 7 feet tall and black and I have 4 black belts.

[robinjbr]

@LuniaVideo i have huge balls

[LuniaVideo]

@robinjbr Yeah, huge for an ant.

[robinjbr]

@LuniaVideo no, i have big huge testicles

[tshirtism]

im so happy that didi can still perform she's the reason im watching american idol

wish can vote

[breemystic]

I love this, I hope she wins:)

[mizusuwings124]

She reminds me of Megan Joy from last season... voice-wise

[noactiontalkingonly]

i think she's much better than megan joy and i love megan

[mythlvr0821]

Me too!! Only shes a bit more controlled, but I prefer Megan's tone

[SanDisk4GB4]

go Didi love u!!!

[beautifulday01]

Greatest performance of the night 2 time in a row.

[Alexanderealize7]

now, she's starting to show what artist she wants to be and that performance was great, but not that much.. but i still kinda liked it..

[acouztixz]

didi all the way..

[ad6837]

That was a really great performance!

I loved it! You gotta love didi, she is amazing!!! VOTE FOR DIDI!

[xcryptzx]

she never failed to impressed me,.. idk what judges hear when she sings..

shes amazing!! i love her voice!

[megui83]

great job didi

[danielliultp29]

i wish i could vote for her. Hope more people vote for her! she really is my favourite!

[dreamcatchertoe]

Amazing.

[sniperpete1234]

This is like the 5th time i've watched this video, way to go Didi!!!!

[imackcountry]

Fantastic

[TheCossiemodo2000]

Didi has been my favorite since hollywood week, she has a sweet voice and personality, today she kinda showed us a badass side, and I loved it!!! I have a gut feeling that she will wow us in the next upcomming weeks, I think we have'nt seen anything yet! GO DIDI!!!!

[jer7464]

yes, imluvint777! they are the BEST buy a mile!

[dannyjoe64]

i think that is phonomenal. she is my favorite and i love her soo much

[KinoMusiz]

LOVE DIDI

[littlekitty9]

outstanding

[Clapinglad]

I think Crystal will win but Didi is my favorite. Didi is so original and puts her stamp on everything she does. Hopefully she will just get better.

[twilightvampire3]

Goosebumps anyone?

[marianalapena]

I LOVE HER! Didi and crystal are my favorites. But Didi. I want her to win! She has such a unique voice. I love it! *.*

[charmel052930]

she doesn't loook that Taylor Swift alike..she kind of reminds me more of Giselle from "enchanted" lol..but I loved her performance here

[nFnBjR]

i think this performance totally boosted her fan base, i was already a fan but this was easily the best thing i have heard from her ever

[andoi9292]

that wasnt her best performance. she could do so much. pretty part! 1:39

[raimhieLoveshim]

wow...she sings like taylor swift!

[WriteEverythingDown]

She's My Girl, I Love Her. (:

[a112ifi]

Ridiculousy beautiful girl.

plus has great voice and attitude

[lemonphantom]

She puts a lot of emotions in her performance..

[lemonphantom]

No studio version?

[aleex4ndree]

she was amazing and omg she looks so much like taylor swift and i hate taylor swift so..

[Vertigo2903]

Didi is better than Siobhan

Siobhan is 3rd

Crystal and Didi are the best

I don't care what all her crazy fans are saying there just like Lambert's so annoying

[wakeuptofuckup]

she's so hot!!! I loved her ever since i heard her sing terrified

[ec5798]

didi and me are gonna get married. no joke. it's gonna happen. :)

[yuddda]

are u going to rape her too.

[fallenskater914]

Didi....Didi....Didi. She is my favorite idol this season, maybe ever because I've never been this crazy about an idol contestant lmao. She rocked it out tonight. Even though Siobhan was my favorite of the night Didi was frickin amazing!!!!!!! I've loved her ever since she showed up Katharine McPhee with Terrified. I can't wait to get a CD of hers. She's sooo amazing. I love her voice. Shee blew me away, again. She's gorgeous too lol. Just had to add that. ;P

[PaleLittleGirl1]

wow i now have new respect for her

[petescorner]

Didn't really think of her as too much more than a pretty face, but this was the song that was stuck in my head after the show was over. I loved it!

[VinnyThaKidd]

love this ho

[soccerchica818]

one of my favorites! love her voice so much!

[lvu16]

shes good

[Caitlin232323]

I dont know if she has the best voice in the competition, but she is one of the best performers to watch for sure. Loved this.

[lvu16]

shes good

[MatildaDitzyChick]

She reminds me of Taylor Swift too!

[Rach1495]

Awesome!

1st time listening 2 it....great!

2nd time listening 2 it...soo much better!

I dont think the judges give her enough credit! She's one of the best!

Isn't fire really 2 syllables...? loL!

[unforgiven1027]

WOW !!!

Call the fire department...4 alarm fire

That was frickin' HOT !!!

Wasn't expecting this..from Didi..way to go

AWESOME !!

[stevesalit]

Didi, the hottest idol contestant EVER!!!

[iseeyougag]

Didi doesnt need to win idol..

she'll get signed the second she gets eliminated from that stage....

[germanrocker90]

Love the song hate her sorry

[bn31260]

didi is a nice and beautiful girl, she does look like brooke, i am a huge fan of her, siobhan, crystal, and katie, they are all great.
