  • this is absolutely amazing!

  • I have watched this like 5 times already, and still amazes me every time! <3 you drew!:)

  • Her best...shocked she went home the next day.

  • This was her best performance in my opinion! Absolutely stunning!

  • i love this one... this is her best performance to me

  • i love the way she sits with her legs like that

  • oh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy goshhhh ** u r AMAZING drew <3 :'((

  • OMG i love her so much! <3

  • I didn't watch another episode after this bullshit elimination. Drew was THE best. She was eliminated because the other judges had it in for Simon. They were all on her band wagon, but the minute she started passing THEIR stars, she had to go. Idiots

  • Loooooooved this version... only thing is Drew looked uncomfortable on the chair...

  • Fuck Paula, LA and Nicole. I'm am sure that if the King saw this performance he would of loved the hell out of it.

  • She can sing this song totally different to MJ version but still singing great

  • I love the way she sang the song so much. It's so beautiful and cool

  • omg Awesome rendition. She really did a great job pon this.

  • everyone complained that this song isn't supposed to be sang like that. but wait, many people on american idol sang it the same way she did, and hey.. the judges like them. why?

  • OK so how this song got Drew voted off ill never know, but anyway!! I'm soo mad at Simon he really needed to get his head out of the clouds and listen to what all the judges had been saying from the beginning "all her songs are the same style"... maybe if he had she could have been in the top 3!! Hopefully he learned his listen and next season we won't loss a good artist soo soon!!

  • Drew's voice is annoying. . . it sounds like that artist that sang with Josh Krajcik

  • unfortunately the x factor was all about big performances on stage that were flashy and energetic. if you really appreciate music you can hear the beauty in drew's voice

  • This, Baby, Baby and the song at Simon's house were top 7 performances of the entire show... How did she go home?

  • This reminds me of some other slow song! Somebody please tell me what it is!

  • She did good and i know y they gone put her down

    Paula - she in the gutta and was mad cuz she aint got nobody to mentor ...hater

    Nicole - stressed out cus she lost 2 off her contestants in a row!!!! desprete

    LA -JUS FELT LIKE BEING MEAN AGAIN lol

  • what was the big deal with the chair? i thought it made it more dramatic...

  • drew voice is nice

  • This song gave me GOOSEBUMPS when she sang it . ;& PAULA AND NICHOLE TELL HER IT'S NOT GOOD BECAUSE SHE'S SITTING DOWN ? Yea cause we want dancers distracting us from her amazing voice . . . Haha no . ;& Now Drew has to go home thinking that performance was bad when it was actually the ONE performance of hers that her voice progressed ;& that I completely loved . *@&*#ing judges.

  • She did great here... but I just wish she'd hold the notes longer, and not let them drop silent. She had such great tone... but I think she needs to reconsider her approach... and she has years ahead of her.

  • She is amazing, the reason why they expelled was because nicole and paula's music is very bad. she is a true artist, and Paula and nicole are trash. The show is over without Drew

  • either she or astro deserved to be in the top 3 with melanie and josh!

  • better than mike!!!!

  • I hate Paula and Nicole they sent her home!! JUST BECAUSE OF A CHAIR ITS A STUPID CHAIR!!!! They are supposed to be listening to her amazing VOCALS!!!! NOT A CHAIR!!!!

  • this was genius man... I'd actually spend a dollar to buy this single if it came out, Drew's version

  • nicole and paula were just pissed off that a 14 year old sings better than them

  • i can't beieve she is gone :(

  • LOVE IT <3

  • I love her performance. Just love it.

  • She got voted off due to her hair style, oh wait she got voted off because people are mentally challenged!!!

  • Oh and she got low amount of votes just because she was sitting on a chair? Give me a break. She got low amount of votes, because there is better talent

  • one of the best performances to date.... if the judges weren't so biased with rooting for their acts her and Rachel would never have been voted off... Chris Rene and Marcus.... hahahahahaha

  • What an awesome performance...King must be proud !!!!!!!!!

  • That was the best song she done and i loved and she shouldent of been the to go home she should still be on the show

  • marcus canty should go down

  • CHRIS RENE HELP HIM WIN AND GET HIS LIFE BACK TOO

  • She is amazing!!! His girl has so much talente and she brought tears to my eyes when she sang his song!! I love you Drew!!! She should have never left, that is so messed uop

  • Paula and Nicole both need high five in their face ... with a chair. With the chair she was sitting on -.-" seriously,I never really like Drew before this performance ,but this was just phenomenal.

  • I love it, brought tears to my eyes! If only it was longer....and she didnt get voted off!

  • I loved this performance! Some of these judges need 2 get over themselves already. I'm tired of hearing them running their mouths off with no logic behind it. They always complain about her not moving/dancing around! Geez >_> What? Did they expect her to get up off the chair and moonwalk across the stage? -.- If people actually took the time to listen to the lyrics of billie jean they would kno that it's actually a sad song, so in that case I thought her rendition of the song was right on point.

  • She's great, however I just HATE this version of Billie Jean. Simon was right and awesome in taking the blame for this -- she should have sung it a bit more upbeat and if not dancing, at LEAST standing up!

  • shes amazing singger but she deserved to go home...she never took a chance like everone else. im glad she got sent home.

  • @bonesbaby18 She wanted to take a chance, she wanted to get up, but Simon told her to trust him.

  • the only reason i watch this show is because of her now she's gone,, no reason for me to fix the antenna ... so sad.. :(

  • Nicola and Paula sayings at every song she did before tis one: "Oh, you're an angel! You have one of the best voices! I always get shills! Etc." And then, she does this INCREDIBLE performance with her vocals better then ever and hey, these two word-that-ryms-with-witches send her home because of a CHAIR!

    I'm so not watching this show anymore.

  • @LeaGoneBad Ive stopped watching the show also, i think its ludicrous and couldn't of said it any better. SIMON PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SACK NICOLE AND LA REED !!!

  • never liked her that much untill this performance, and now she's gone...gutted

  • Terrible song choice by Simon but this is by far her best vocal performance.Drew is incredible,she pulled it off.Her voice is wonderful and I agree with Paula and Nicole that he should've let her sing something up tempo b/c that's what Drew wanted.I can see why he did the chair thing for this song but I think for this theme it'd have been better if she'd been able to get up.The song lyrics don't really fit her, even though I listen to it on repeat b/c I love her vocals.I'm sure she'll be signed.

  • amazingly talented young girl.

  • I can get jiggy with it to this

  • I really hate those judges.. but I don't hate Simon because he has common sense :) SHE'S AMAZING! SO TALENTED!!! but its ight cause she'll be famous(:

  • She might have got voted off, but Simon is still gonna sign her! he loves her to much, i mean you could see the love he has for her in his eyes. Drew will be a SUPERSTAR!

  • Wow she is amazing !!!!! She will still be around for a few years, its Xfactor the runners up win big, and as simon is there, she safe :)

  • DREW DID MICHEAL PROUD... NOW HOW THE HELL DID SHE GET BOOTED OFF? LOOK AT THE THREE IDIOTS THAT VOTED HER OFF... MARCUS HE SHOULD OF KICKED ROCKS. BOTTOM TWICE IN A ROLL... IT WAS OBVOUSE THAT AMERICA WANTED HIM GONE. I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE HELL CHRIS RENE IS STILL IN??? HOW HOW HOW?

  • Haunting. Ridiculous voting, America. Ridiculous.

  • this is amazing .

  • I don't even watch the X Factor, but I was channel-hopping the other night and this girl stopped me in my tracks. I thought it was absolutely beautiful, so original and haunting! I was gobsmacked by the horrible comments from Paula and Nicole afterwards - it was really something special, and jazzing it up or making it more complicated would have ruined it! Simplicity is sometimes more memorable than fancy footwork and stage spectaculars, guys!

  • Love her verision... if anyone teaches the piano part..for this verision I would love them forever..She shouldn't of gone home....

  • SHE DID NOT DESERVE TO HOME!!! I hate how nicole was saying she needed to get out of the chair. it added to the performance i thought. and drew is a more alternative folk type singer. just because she doesn't sound "pop-autotuned" doesnt mean she deserves to go home. i hate music these days. CLEARLY no one but simon can keep it real. they told josh kratchick that he was great and did good with his performance but they destroyed drew's because she was sitting in a chair...cmon

  • WHY DID SHE HAVE TO LEAVE :(

  • the other contestant doesn't really have the character on their vocal, but this girl has it. besides billie jean in this version is so brilliant, while others just sang MJ songs exactly the same as the original version. THIS GIRL IS ORIGINAL. SHE GONNA BE A BIG STAR!

  • Earth song of Melanie is better than this..

  • I really liked it no matter what anyone says she did great!

  • the most amazing thing in this song is the beat and they decided to remove it.

    

  • I thought this was a competition between up and coming artist to showcasse their tremendous talents. Not an adult pissing contest of their egos. Nicole & Paula gangbanged Simon totally and took it out on a wonderfully talented young person. She's gonna make it though, No doubt.

  • This performance was wonderful. up till this point I didn't think she had it in her. But after her rendition of Billie Jean I have to say I was impressed. It was beautiful. I didn't think she deserved to go home last night.

  • this is sad. looooool

  • drew you have a voice like meatloaf powerfull and inspirational thak you but chris will win the X Factor sorry but ill buy your music just the same :)

  • they said simon was playing it safe with drew so since when stripping down a michael jackson song playing it safe

  • i love drew i hope she wins

  • thanks god,shes gone my opinion-boring boring boring

  • @TheDomino83 i think is Simon make her become a boring singer...

  • You've made Arizona so proud! GREAT JOB!!! I love this original cover too. May you have all the success & fame you wish for.

  • it's not that her performance wasn't good that she got voted off. it's more becasue she always did the same thing, great things, but still the same. she didn't took any chances. ever. all of her performances are the same, although each one is good on it's own.

    Simon is a geinious, but he really should have listened to Paula and Nicole and give her an up-tempo song to show more range and to sourprise the audiance.

    simply my opinion

  • not hatin' (and I hope your mature enough to respect my opinion) but I almost fell asleep during her performance.

  • wooww! best rendition of Billie Jean ever!

  • i dont care what they say she rocked period point blank!!!!!!!

  • She's amazing. She would have won if it was up to me.

  • i thought she was gunna stand up and kick that chair off the stage @0:55 ...but anyways.. SHE'S AMAZING!!

  • wtf this is amazing. the judges are so wrong with their decisions . this girl has a huge future.

  • Marcus Canty Had nothing on Drew. Thumbs up if you agree !!

  • @kristinabiitchx3 i agree!!!!! drew was so much better!

  • luv it

  • Sad to see her leave, but I'll definitely be looking out for her album soon. :)

  • all of you people that are dissing on here stop. she has an amazing voice and she's only 14. You guy's are just jealous because you don't have a voice like heres. Drew is drop dead gorgeous!!!! she did not deserve to go home. she has the most amazing voice. i love you drew.

  • You can stand up now drew.... stand up and go home! LOL

    thank God.

  • this is boring i hear all this crap everywhere

  • @Alv0luzionTV No, you don't. You don't see this talent everywhere.

  • @Alv0luzionTV I'll back u 100 percent. simon should have gave her some upbeat music to sing. something to show case he play, sassy side... but 14yrs u gotta be careful

  • I'm so sad that she was voted out she should have stayed, Very talented and I think she is unique.

  • i wasn't Drew's top fan but after dis performance i have to say she is my favorite

  • I think they were happy to let her go cuz with this phenomenal performance they already know she has a major singing career. I would buy her CD for sure.

  • 1) This is a rip-off of Chris Cornell's arrangement.

    2) How does it make sense to have a 14 year old girl sing about being a guy who is being accused of knocking up a girl?

    3) As a result of 2, many parts are devoid of emotion.

    Not the most top notch performance.

  • gay,tbh shes boring.js

  • AMAZING... haunting... slightly dark, but raw, unique, and VERY creative - unbelievable 14 year old!

  • got to love the chair...

  • i keep listening to this over and over again-its beautiful

  • ill just be switching x factor off for the rest of the show ,what a heap of shit ,simon did nothing wrong she just shouldnt have gone ,judges dont have a clue & the voting public are listening to them because they dont have a fucking clue either,dickheads..

  • How the hell did she get voted off? This was phenominal, I can't believe a 14 year old has this much talent and she should have won.

  • @Elvira0925 she's only 14:O

  • @Elvira0925 No Rachel Crow was a better singer and she was younger. She should have stayed. I liked Drew, until she was shocked to find out not EVERYONE likes her. she'll live

  • peace, love, drew.

    

  • This version of the song is AWESOME!!!Clearly america's been brainwashed with the crap they hear on the radio nowadays, and they don't know what a good performance is anymore!! SHE SHOULD'VE WON WITH THIS PERFORMANCE, simon is a genius!!

  • @HairForceBarber I don't think America DIDN'T like this performance...but was the same thing week after week. Slow songs. The person that this show will invest 5 million dollars in has to be able to sell records. and a record of pure ballads clearly isn't want America wanted.

  • @HairForceBarber If you were smart, you'd know it was the judges who sent her home.

  • BASS line where is it... I need to here the bass.. its the most important part of the song

  • Im so glad i dont have to hear her voice again.. I was waiting for the bassline

  • Drew...superb and unique! I would buy her cd anytime.

    

  • I imagine she's singing You Lost Me.

  • Her version of this song gave me chills. Who ever thinks otherwise is deaf

  • she sounds like justin bieber on his period

  • GLAD SHE WENT HOME! SHE SUCKED!!!

  • Her voice is incredible. She could have had a beautiful performance in the dark.

  • She is so boooooooooooooooooooooooooring­.....

  • Chris Rene and Rachel Crow should have been gone before Drew :(

  • Im gonna miss her :[

  • Let us know when it comes out Drew. WE WILL BUY! How in the world did Chris make it through? OMG <------ Please, this is not about a sad story, it's about talent and we had a house full just lost here. Your a rock star Drew and your better then this show.

  • This was the best performance of the night. She absolutely does not need to sing more upbeat to sound beautiful! Don't change anything love, you were amazing

  • Brilliant to have her just sit and sing the song. Her voice is gorgeous and she really made something new and beautiful out of the song.

  • she killed dat joint!!! ( in a really good way for those who wouldnt understand)

  • Goosebumps.

  • Now they wrong with this one Chris Rene i dnt like him that much but he did better than she did...she just messed uop the Legend song...people love the original song better.!

  • i love her but Melanie Amaro deserves to win this competition more!! since melanies first compition i loved her.. i loved drew more though!! but after this performance i dont think she did that good... i love melanie and she deserves to win this more then anyone... i also love marcus canty!!!!

  • Wait a minute...Chris Cornell did a version of Billie Jean EXACTLY LIKE THIS!! DX

  • Wow. The UK X Factor really fails this year when you compare it to this. We need Simon back! AMAZING performance!!

  • she's the best

  • I don't personally like her but this performance showed her control in her voice, it showed her maturity, and it showed some emotion. Going around acting like just another teen pop star is not going to get her anywhere. I would buy her album if she sang slow meaningful song like this. Not fast frivolous song with tons of dancing. Simon was right.

  • i love it so much i dont care if she sitting or standing cuz this is who DREW is:)

  • I like her voice and I'm sure she'll put together a great album. I think she's not shaking it up enough, however, to win this competition. She seems to sing the same haunting melody every week.

  • ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • its like she doesnt have feet!! every performace! she doesnt move!!! thts why he keeps saying shes the same

  • good voice, unfortunately MJ songs need more than that. Billie Jean needs Energy this performance has none.

  • Good job! You don't need all the props and visual stuff to honour Michael. She brought this song back to the music and lyrics, what music is about. I get that a lot of americans love a spectacular show and go over the top, but a girl singing with a lot of emotion is actually all the world needs. I think people are getting tired of always watching big shows, it's not memorable anymore. This version is!

  • LA Reid is right: every week the same. Mix it up a bit!

  • i don't know why people all obsessed over her. she's not even that good. i guarantee Melanie or Rachel will win!

  • @pengyang1 hows that workin out?

  • SHE NEEDS TO GO ! SAME OLD SLOW SLOW ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

  • Drew's Billie Jean...stunning! a performance with real heart and substance, what a talent, you could listen to her on the radio, in a stadium or up close and acoustic in a corner cafe and she'd be amazing :O) what on earth is Nicole S on about? judging by her recent live performances she's becoming all fur coat and no knickers (all about the show and nothing underneath) lol

  • You know how you tell a great chef, he makes the ingredient the star of the dish. And you know how you disguise a bad ingredient, by seasoning it with all sorts of shit. Hats off to simon for knowing hes got gold on his hands and showing her for what she is a true star without the garnishing.

  • i want her to win, but at the same time, i dont want someone who is that young winning that amount of money. but she will have a carrer regardless

  • I think people you are forgetting she has a style and stage presence just like Adele or Amy Winehouse No one asks them to sing differently because it's getting repetitive. This young girl has found her niche now watch her work it. The final piece to the equation is giving her her own music. Not all pop stars write their music. She has the chops and is creative not just a voice that can belt it out such as Melanie. She makes it her own by putting her signature on it.

  • Oh yeah, lay off LA Reid this week Drew fans.

  • @WisconsinLiberal ....pffffffttt , he musta read up on all the neg comms: about himself hence the zilch attack on Drew the other night . She did exceptionally well this time around , even though she sat the whole number out (which was'nt her idea in de first place) n' I'd rather listen 2 a sweet singing voice doin the best of what she can with whichever genre, than watch a tune-less flat-liner cRapping the life out of it all....him should go home , with his dopey mentor...lmfao.....cheerz

  • Simon said himself this show is taking your talent and becoming an artist. Drew IS NOT doing that. She is talented, but she does not diversify her performances. Just disregard Astro for ONE second. Compare her to Melanie and Rachel, those two have had to be pushed out of their comfort zones, and they have done great. Melanie simply could have song Beyonce or Whitney every week, but she changed it up. That is why I think Drew needs to go home.

  • Love this. (Can't stand Astro.)

  • @LocustIvy omg i cant either:)

  • Love it!

  • download mp3 here /watch?v=zhUANpDKD54&l

  • wow

  • Really nice version of this song. But we already have a Sarah Maclaughlin.

  • you know, i liked her in the beginning. and now i am just bored to tears. she's talented, don't get me wrong, but she's like a one trick pony. i can see her selling one or two, even 3 really BIG hits. and then nothing.

  • She forgot the lyrics on the second part. She song the first bridge over. It was supposed to go Mamma always told me to be careful who you love......She came and stood right by me, with the smell of sweet perfume, It happened much too soon. she called me to her room. It was good, but I would have liked to seen her get up on the second part.

  • I hate the way she starts a song off. She has an amazing voice. She does the same thing every week.

  • wow. I am actually impressed. I've never seen real talent on these "talent" contests before. I would listen to this.

  • People that criticize her, there's a big demand for singers like her at the moment. Look at Diana Vickers, she's been on hold for a couple of years and suddenly she's working on an album because people want more. Drew's got talent, that's for sure.

  • She has a good voice, but as for charisma - she lacks it. Under-whelming.

  • I, personally, really like this performance. It is DEFINITELY her best vocal performance. I think it was a good decision to make this slow and melodic. It's amazing. I just don't understand why everyone is blaming her for the whole sitting down thing when it's not even her fault. Simon is the one who directs her. I believe that she said something along the lines of "Michael wouldn't sit down in a performance" when they showed her practicing. So it wasn't her fault. She'd 15. Give her a break.

  • I always loved this MJ song but Drew takes it to another level and place. She brings a soulful passion that smoulders to this song. Simon was right to contain her movement and make her simply sing the song.

  • she got this from David Cook

  • @jmb02marie and David Cook got this from Chris Cornell, Look it up.

  • @joshuaraygaribay Um...ok....so your saying that she or simon got this from Chris Cornell? my guess is that she got this from David Cook. Additionally simon loved that perfomance of his when he did it on American Idol. You maybe correct in your statement that David Cook got this from Chris Cornell....

  • Everyone says she needs to do something a little more upbeat.. doesn't anyone remember what happend to Pia Toscano on American Idol when she listened to the judges and did that.. she got ELIMINATED that week.. i think drew sings great.. i just hope that if she does listen to everyone it doesnt kill her chance like it did Pia..

  • @rmgh13 Drew isn't li
