Kimberly Cladwell- Come to my window with judges critics

[EGarrett01]

Great looking girl who can hit the notes and has an interesting sounding voice. The arrangement is worse than the original and she was fake in the performance.

[EmY008800]

The reason i say that is because children-teens vote based on appearance and not by their actual voice. When you listen to the original song and then listen to her version, it doesn't sound as good as you think.

[EmY008800]

rap and pop where singers use technology to make there voice sound so great that it dulls their senses to a real voice.They shouldn't let children-teens vote on American idol.That should be left to adults who know how to vote.

[EmY008800]

That was terrible, boring and flat.Her voice is pretty but that was not a song that fits her voice, also she doesn't transition from a low to a high octave.Teens now a days obviously don't know a great voice when they hear one.Its voters like them that get the great singers on American idol kicked off.Teens listen to so much

[Ducky2830]

She totally reminds me of Pink!!!! if you don't watch the video and listen it sounds quite like Pink.. Both are amazing!!!!!!!!

[allisonadamgirl]

wow she has changed alot in looks since ai2 now is 2010 ai10(coming up)

[cracklinrosie11]

She has to be the most underrated contestant ever, and she should have gone much further in the competition. She may have been before her time on an Idol that was then all about pop/R&B crooning.

[kierstenn8]

how far did she make it??

[imahniithethird]

@kierstenn8 she was 7th.

[CornStoveIowa]

The BEST rendition of any Idols, better than Crystal Bowersox 2010 Top 3, Amanda Overmyer K-105 FM Radio Studio Version 2010.

[yourimaginaryenemy]

Her voice is a lot stronger now. She's improved a lot.

[FM897]

I actually thought it was really good. She seemed a little off beat but her voice fit the song.

[spencerruefus]

i think she did great

[aliceayrescloser]

I don't know why people don't like her, that's a really good rendition of the song, and her best performance in the show!

[nerdjuice32]

I liked this song very much until......ANYWAYS!!! AnywayS is NOT a word Kimberly!! Too many young people think it is. It is one of my speaking pet peaves. Sorry, young'ns.

[versnvegas]

I believe it is correct if you SPELL it correctly as any ways. Spelling is important too. In addition, please do not forget that every age has some kind of problem with speaking.

[nerdjuice32]

No, it's not correct either way. I am not trying to take away anything from Kimberly's performance. I thought it was really good!

[goyanks13240]

i think she did a great job.

[StacyOh1717]

i thought she sounded really good for like the first 30 seconds of it to be quite honest. her husky voice matched the song but i never really thought she was that great of a singer. but those first 30 seconds, she had good intonation and she said a good tone with her timbre. so come on...not ALL bad.

[janeym]

0:39-0:41 sounds freakishly like Adam Lambert! WTF! That was a strange surprise LOL

but for some reason her sound is so much better on a guy!

[o0ber]

@janeym Wow, she sounds nothing like Adam Lambert and neither sound right for a guy.

[XOemsabellOX]

this is terrible.

[klusumu]

i can`t believe i`m saying this, but i really liked it, liked her voice, which is even more surprising.

[fnlost]

love

her

[pinksocks02]

pink and her both have dignity if u keep saying bad about ppl ull rot in hell im not saying theres no such thing as having an opinion i dont care u can think what u want i dont have a problem with that im just trying to encourage people to do good things so thats my opinion.

[IBUKIBUK]

u can't compare pink to her, pink has dignity, hers rot in hell a while ago. that's just my opinion

[Cqbjj92]

she sounds like pink

[trackdude85]

=)

If you are hopeless or hurting, check out my "Don't Hide Anymore!" vid for love and help.

[ryjia99]

she looks like a dude in this video

but now she is pretty hot

not going to lie

[XkobyX]

yeah lol on tv guide she smokin hawt... right here idunno, its like she had a face job? or on tv guide some sorta super make up that places the place of your bone structer difrently lol xD

[boysxlikexgirlz]

oh dear god i didnt watch american idol until last season with david cook, and ive scene her on tv guide but ive never heard her sing.............im glad that i hadnt heard her sing until right now.......she sucks!

[Tremontilover]

I don't like her voice...

[forksandplates]

whos the piano player?

[marsarmygurl]

Wow. Not impressed at all. Her voice was all over the place. And her stage presence was just annoying. Totally ruined the song.

[AvonleaMontague]

Back when American Idol was small.

[qtallstar12]

it sickens me that David is dating this attention whore. i'm sorry but haven't you noticed she's dated like EVERY idol winner. she's only doing it for the publicly and that's it. sorry to be so harsh

[XxBookexX]

Really??? Who else has she dated???

[qtallstar12]

annnd to top it off, she simply ruined this song. so sad.

[Thearmsman]

really?.. do you know her? if i was wanting money publicly is the one way to do it.:P

[SecondsFromEternity]

legs...good! voice...bad!

[smittybby88]

she has a deep kinda voice, i dont like it.

[nadi1010]

Wow...her tone is terrible. It is NOT something I would ever want to listen to! And what's up with the tiny eyes?!?

[Dementor145]

Wow... Didn't expect that from her... She don't suck... But I can't get over the fact how different they (Paula,Simon, Kimberly) looked like those days.

But seriously guys... Enough with these childish comments. Why cant we let two adult get on with their life??

[missc0rszz]

i met her, shes so down to earth. loveee herrr <3

[canadiancarrottop213]

@missc0rszz shes my cousin

[wannabesleepy]

Yikes, that last part of it she sung? It made my ears bleed. If anybody on season 7 had sounded that bad, I don't think they would have made it, they've obviously raised their standards on AI from what they were back in those days. Well, she was a cute blonde Barbie doll and they probably let her by cause of that.

[cookieloverr8800]

shes so lucky to be dating david cook!!!! ;]] and i watched american idol rewind 3 mins ago and i thought that she was soooooo pretty ;] and shes VERY brave i can just tell right away!!!

[Anus2Mouth]

David Cook is a no one. After next years AI and a failed album or two America will forget his name. He will be a gay Rueben Stoddard.

Kim Cook is way hott and smart though. She ought to date a WINNER, like Colin Farrell or John Mayer.

[SARAHFANN]

Again she is a Man

[gangsta2027]

i loved her voice.

(:

[luskylusk13]

NOSE JOB

[McCarthyEM]

umm.... where did you hear he was gay??? i need to see something that david said it himself or else i wont believe it

[ALM123]

calm down he's not gay people are just really stupid!

[McCarthyEM]

but guys i really havent heard anything about them going out on like, any dates so who knows... davids just starting his career, maybe he will decide that he doesnt need that right now.. but if he doesnt, who cares, guys! he likes her!! and once you just get used to it, shes not that bad, and everyone thinks shes pretty.

[SARAHFANN]

And thats what u call white trash

[McCarthyEM]

guys... david will get over her eventually... i mean, some of her singing isnt too bad but it will be fine, David will get it

[Shauzia3]

For some reason, I keep on thinking that they're going to get married and have kids and...you know, the works.

Can't get that out of my head

[McCarthyEM]

heyy... i know what you mean. but i dont think it will go that far. i mean, look at kimberly, yes, shes pretty but her personality just doesnt seem like david. i mean, she threw herself on him when he asked her out, i didnt think david would want some one like that bc if she did it to him she would do it to other people too. but they wont go out forever. even if he thinks shes wicked pretty, theres more to it.

[haydenpanettiere501]

=[

she is soo annoying

[MusikLuvrToo]

Her singing reeks. But who cares about that - I just want Cookie to find a girl who isn't a totally nasty bitch. Ugh.

[mkm230]

Melissa Etheridge sings it so much better.

[chrisdesi1va]

haha..all you jealous lady's crack me up!

[McCarthyEM]

yeah actually i am jealous but come on!! shes pretty but she throws herself to ppl. w/e if they're happy together thats good for me. cause i just think we should be happy for david and not mad over it

[robram818]

Yo dog! Yo dog! check this out! check this out! I want you to jump on my penis dog!

[96ar96]

wow i dont think shes good at all.

[tiarnantman]

She's a bit pitchy here, but she does have a great tone to her voice. I'll try not to compare, 'cause she's not in their league, but it's similar to the voice of Anne Wilson.

[sarahwholesome]

That skank's pitch is all OVER the place!!! YUK!!!

[omgbfsroxohyeah]

Wow, there's so much more talent on the show nowadays, that was pitchy, not to say I like her anyway, but sh'e not good. DC could do soooooooooooooooo much better than her.

[katsmeow58]

hmm, I remembered her as being better than this. But now I've watched several of her songs, and she really wasn't very good. I guess the talent has gotten better over the years. I don't these days she would make it even into the top 24.

[jentn0308]

I absolutely agree. I just posted a similar comment on another video of hers!

[ddrfreakchisao]

JESUS, what an UGLY dress!

[Brittany867]

I like these performance of hers but I have seen her other performances and they are not that good.

[josey32191]

david cook isnt taken yet.....

[anigerzepog]

Hope so, cause there will be a lot of disappointed fans if he will stick with this girl.

There are a lot of other women better, even if not famous, so long as she has a good heart and will not take down DC with her and will not just use DC. pure love is what DC need..

[McCarthyEM]

i agree and yeahh... lots of ppl are disapointed and think he can do better. i just say if they're happy then you should be 2 i just hope she isnt using him cause alot of guys will fall for cause they think shes pretty

[LittleCloserBoi]

She just had a piano and it's a rock song... as far as I'm concerned you guys are being way too critical. Especially if Simon even liked it. In fact he said it was brilliant...

[NarniaKind]

Her voice is awful!

She is not David's g/f by the way. They went out once and he said they might hang out again. That's all.

[klasp13]

That is a horrible rendition. I do like her voice though.

[Kl2b]

She doesn't look as beautiful as she does now, but she has a sexy voice.

Good luck to her and Cook :D

[AddictiveSingin]

yikes!!!

[theimprovpoet]

I totally agree w/miss24now---I was thinking the whole time that I watched this video about how great she and david would sound if they were to sing a duet!!

[KellyAna414]

i didnt see her season so i looked her up...wow the talent on idol has gotten A LOT better since then. she's ok, but if she sang that now the judges would tear her up...sorry kim! shes got a wonderful fun personality tho...i love her on TV now! good luck to her and cook! theyre both fun & goofy people!

[wissphoto]

I remember this season, cause I was a Clay fan. I didn't like any of the girls that year because they looked fake like Kim or didn't like their style of music. I can't believe Simon liked her, I thought she sucked (and not because she is dating Cookie now). The talent has gotten way better since the first couple of seasons. Except for the top 2from season 1 and 2, I don't think anyone else would make it top 24 now.

[DillaxUhmazing]

OMG!

I hate her!

She's dating my love!!!

[Streetweare]

She was my favorite season 2 contestant :)

and this was my favorite performance by her

[heart1612]

I'm not a fan of her voice... She would've never won.

[1317elizabeth]

did she win?

[heart1612]

no, I was just saying she would not have ever won american idol.

[miss24now]

hmm... never known this girl before..

now, i'm interested digging about her because she stole my boyfriend (a.k.a: david cook)..

i hate her for that...

but...

i have to say that her voice is sexy and pretty unique..

i think david and her could do a great duet...

[coolaskimdeal11]

ew.

[Qee1001]

Bad singer!

[niecy55]

ugly

[love4elliott]

I'm just not crazy about singing...i've just listened to a few vids and just not impressed..sorry fans

[TXandback]

I really liked this song during season two. I would love to see her and David Cook sing a duet.

[namtranlam]

I don't rele like her voice.

[agentsiopao]

she sounds like a metal band vocalist. i dunno. or somewhat rock like david cook. herherher...

[GforceProdComp]

The only reason she likes David Cook so much is because she sounds like a female version of him.

[ellasongstress]

Folks, this was much more difficult competing than today: look at that, no backup singers, no big orchestra: this is just Kim and her singing. Kristi Lee Cook would have been out in a matter of weeks, as would be Brooke White and others.

[songlover08]

Brooke White is a HELL of a lot more talented than Caldwell. Did you hear "Teach Your Children" in the finale? There was no backup there and she sounded lovely. And I love rock music and have no beef with Caldwell.

[nhozikjr]

David Cook sucks

[KelleyMarie41]

LOL. David Cook said today that he doesn't know any of the songs she did on the show. If he's so into her don't you think he would have taken 5 minutes to Google her name by now? Lucky for her he didn't. She blows chunks.

[jessdancing]

She was slightly flat on that first high note but she got her groove on eventually.  Real Good.

[jessdancing]

I liked her poise and her singing voice which by the way is better than the composer's voice. Oh yes and she looks great.

[thepinkyak]

i cant beleive simon actually liked that

[missbean90]

This is bad. Just bad. She is just not a singer. This is karaoke at best. Bad.

[LovelyRosess]

She's more of a talker than a singer. She appears to be Cooks opposite. She's loud and talkative. He's more of a thoughtful, feeling artist.

[jonassx3]

she looks so much better with bangs xD. and shes one licky chick, david cook is amazing

[massacrene1]

damn randy was fat

[lopezeloisa]

she's prettier this time around. :D

[DrakeandJosh95]

was this the wildcard night?

[DrakeandJosh95]

nvm

[fmbighair]

great song. i really liked the "smokey" texture of her voice on the verse and her low register but doesn't work when she goes into her higher register.

I think she should work on having her upper register just as strong as her lower one.

[Idolpurist]

Don't like the song, don't like the singing. That deep voice only gets deeper each time she swallows another load. Or polishes off her third bottle of Vodka for the night. Hard core bar whore. Performing in sports bars and opening for little league games is bout all this white trash can ever achieve. She spits many songs, but a lot more cum. How many dudes has dis Bitch picked up in bars and then taken home to fuck. Probably Hundreds! Deep voiced, stupid drunk Bitch. Soooo glad U didn't win!

[lougrl57]

You should really not say such vulgar stuff on youtube. you know alot of kids are on here looking up american idol performers and if you can't express an opinion without being so crude and nasty you should stay off. get a vocabulary dude.

[annasophialvr]

i don't like her voice too much. but i was a fan back in the day.

i love her on idol tonight!!!

[aliceayrescloser]

she did great. it was not amazing,but really good.

really enjoyed the part ' anywaay '

very good.

[QuoGirl]

On the lower notes, she sounded good, one some high notes she sounded good but on the REALLY high notes she sounds awful. I think this girl just needs more control. She just gets pitchy right when she needs to hold that note but it ends up falling apart somehow. if you listen closely, you'll hear it. Other than that, her voice is great. Or a different kind of song would suit her better and make a better performance. Wouldn't call this "brilliant" at all, Simon SHOULD know that.

[DoucheForYourMama]

Totally agree. Her core voice is great, once she learns to tidy it up around the edges and gets more control she'll be good, REALLY good.

[Cris43130]

Who was that man in the white shirt? He looked and sounded like Simon Cowell, but it can't be. He actually LIKED somebody.

[CallMeDee]

I really liked her at the time.

[SexyLilLezNTx]

Oh, thats right she didnt make in the music industry. She's an alcoholic now. Way to go Kim!!! I met her once in Katy where we both live, she's a bitch.

[Chrisen04]

I do believe she works as an anchor on the TV Guide Channel, she might not be in the music industry, but she is a well known name.

[jaymejean28]

I think you are confused.

[Idolpurist]

Boy are U right. You forgot 2 put DUBM in front of the word bitch wen describing this trifling skank. Chasing Dicks backstage was mo important to her than actually being the next american idol. She drunk and nasty. 1 generation removed from white trash.

[theforeman118]

lmao man..i can't believe how deep her voice is

i love this though

[o0ber]

I like her voice... I thought it was a good song choice. It doesn't have to sound exactly like the original to be good.

[McPhever224]

AWESOME!

[fantasysreality]

Very pretty.

[excilerart]

she did good, and i agree that this song doesnt quite fit her, but i still think she did great

[zm2187]

this was awesome

[lacers101]

this was wicked good.

[hebreo777]

very good

[heyarashi]

she looks like a man. good singing? not quite

fairly powerful, but can't hit certain important keys cuz her natural voice is too deep

[layla791]

this song dusnt reli suit her voice im sure she wud be gud if she WAS SINGING SUMTHIN ELSE BUT THIS IS PRETTY AWFUL .

[Ashleyyy1893]

she looks different now. but i thaught that it was still pretty good

[KrazyRezzwa]

Egh... not that good..

[TimeFliesTimeDies]

WoW!...That was impressive.
