American Idol 2009 Kristen McNamara quot Give Me One Reason quot AUDIO

[Hieyna]

She had a massive voice ready to come out.

[ChristinaSinger1983]

I think Kristin did much better vocally than half of the females in the top 12. She was totally original and made this song her own. I like how the arrangement of the went up several keys so you could hear her range. She's very talented. Not sure if the judges cleaned their ears that day.

[mcnamaramusic]

Hey everyone! Thanks for the support! Check out my new song since IDOL!

[dgaller06]

i loved that F6 she hit at the end

[Edddd84]

Jordin Sparks' versions way better... not bad though

[Jolterx]

she was really robbed last year :S

she had the potential to actually make it to top 5 in my honest opinion.

[cbotten106]

This show is a rigged joke. This was one of the few good ones from last year.

[Youssymeerkat]

I think she was really good...:)

[americanidolkid]

remember when the judges realvealed the wildcard contenders, and simon said "we changed our mind on someone during the break" word is that kristin was suppost to be in wildcard instead of tatiana.....

[CHEFIGO19]

tatiana was crazzzzay in my opinion...and i think kristens voice was way better too...like mabye they said her image wasn't that great but her voice more than made up for it

[ALnXfactor]

i liked her. Good voice.

[aliceayrescloser]

what did the judges say afther that? I think that was good!

[matbolabc]

THANK GOD! SOMEONE WITH SOME SENSE! im tired of getting cussed out everytime i said that

[CaseyPCarlson]

She took risks with that high note. But the crack in 1:51 might have turned others off

[CaseyPCarlson]

SHE LOOKS LIKE THAT BLONDE CHICK FROM SCARY MOVIE AND THE HOUSE BUNNY.

Anna Feris I think? Someone agree with me!!!!

[curlingiron7658]

She reminds me SSSOO much of Jessica Sierra from Season 4. This was a little pitchy, but she should've made it into the Top 13 along with Ju'Not and Lil. Or at least gotten a Wild Card Slot!!!!

[Idolpurist]

Wot an Insult!! Jessica Sierra is a Hard Core Drug addict who posted a PORNO of herself and a guy having SEX! Nasty. Kristen couldn't git a guy to have sex with her unless either HE got to be on top or she paid him.

[curlingiron7658]

Are you insulting her or complimenting her? Cause you're contradicting yourself.

[Idolpurist]

Neither. I'm just spitting the truth. This COW showed up on Idol 40 POUNDS Heavier than when she was on Nash Star. Acting Stupid and having a defeatist attitude. The Stank-Ho got beaten out by Anoop! WOW, that hurts. Oh,well, there's always plenty of waitressing jobs for her. Just hope she dowsn't eat up all the leftovers. Pure HOG.

[curlingiron7658]

God you are a BITCH!!!!! And a fat one I bet at that! :)

[Idolpurist]

A Bitch yes.  But the only thing fat on me is my wallet. Sorry.

[curlingiron7658]

Im sure. *rolls eyes*

[AngelDemonGirl17]

Didn't Kristen win Nashville Star, though?

She opened for Big & Rich when I saw them in concert.

[Idolpurist]

NO!! If she won Nashville Star, WHY on Earth would she show up on Idol less than 2 years later!!!!  She would have already had a record deal!!

[AngelDemonGirl17]

Um, whatever, dude. Cause I remember like, back when I was in 7th or 8th grade the hosts of a radio station I listened to interviewed her, and the whole week before she came on they were saying "we're going to be talking to the winner of Nashville Star." Don't have a damn fit about it.

[curlingiron7658]

She didnt win, I think she made it into the Top 5 or she placed 5th.

[masterkung1231]

She didn't make the top 13.

[curlingiron7658]

Talking about Nashville Star, not American Idol.

[masterkung1231]

Ohhhh.

[Darkdiablo6394]

she didnt take any risks that night

so she was pretty much in the middle and not easily remembered

[qg6ff]

I disagree. Honestly, on this particular night, no one really took any risks. Sure, Lil had somewhat of a strong voice on her song, but no risks really, and Jorge had great vocals - but no risk-taking moments. Scott was totally average all season. Kristen here had good vocals, and showed her incredible range (or so we have seen at least). It was a good performance. I would have chosen her over Scott.

[RCmack]

Kristen sang like a pro while on Idol. Why did many folks not vote for her?

Maybe girls do much of the voting and are jealous of Kristen. Many of the females voting may wish they were a nice country blonde, like Kristen and Kendall Beard, and simply refused to vote for them.

I hope Kristen's signed to a big recording contract soon. She deserves one.

[NDawn]

Men who appreciate the female voice more paying to vote on a reality TV show? I think not. I liked her but vocally she could try to stand herself apart from the other female singers more.

[RCmack]

The calls are free. Perhaps many guys just didn't want to bother voting for Kristen. Instead, they wanted to stare at her and drool.

[Gonk]

She sounded the best to me that night I was shocked that they hated her, I thought America would vote for her voice but I guess not...

Didn't even get a chance to be in the wild card show can someone tell me why they hated her so much I think it had to do with her clothes and hair?

[scherwynne]

i totally agree with you, i'm a fan of hers since the day i heard her sing. i mean she can hit those notes and she can sing almost any genre. she's a total package but i think the judges comments affected the decision of america. i hope she'll continue her career coz she's superb

[idoltyler06]

One thing we should also remember, is she that her range is incredible. BUt she just didn't take any risk with this, Jordin set the bar with this. And yeah she could sing the phone book, cause for those who didn't know, she was on Nashville star before this. So I believe in my heart she'll have a great carrer
