Drew Ryniewicz - "Skyscraper" - X Factor USA (Top 9 Performance) HQ

[heylovex3]

gosh i love her version i am a big demi lovato fan and i cried when she sang this song

[1Winoh]

She is much better than Demi and has a better voice than Christina Grimmie.

[gabe1956]

I love her voice and her talent. Can't wait for her first CD and hope she has a huge range of material in it that will show off her amazing talent.

[GabraKadabraa]

I don't understand why you people are comparing her to Demi. Drew is obviously a fan of her's, she even wore feathers in her hair like Demi. They are both good singers with very different tones. Don't say Demi is better than Drew or Drew is better than Demi. They're both AMAZING.

[millinadd]

I think she is better than Demi :)

[alabamabregan]

She occupies a song.

[MrKooljays1]

i love you DREW i wish younever went home.JOSEPHINELASCALA:) :D :(

[alexarocs]

shes amazing. 

[hristina1978]

with all respect to Drew, she is amazing ... but am I the only one who thinks that Jazzlyn should be on her place in that competition ? ...

[Click0next]

@hristina1978 Uh... well if Jazzlyn took her spot in the competition she'd still be off the show? lol... But... Yeah Jazzlyn was good but she was just in the wrong catagory, if she was a boy with as much talent as Jazzlyn she would have made it far... oh wait.. nvm LA Reid would have picked a rapper over the talented person.. lol

[hristina1978]

@Click0next - you are also right ... too much rapping and hip hopping ... and he blames simon that drew was the same every time ... lol, as you said :)

[TheMusicislife321]

at 1:54 she sounds awful.....;O

[Kellyrox16]

@TheMusicislife321 she couldn't hear herself because the tempo started to pick up around there. who cares, she sang one note a little off? , nobody's perfect.

[Compadect123]

Drew made it easy, she's a new born star/.

[Revisjumpsalot]

she is one of my favs astro was up there but he threw a tantrum so CURSE HIM DREW IS AWESOME!!

[Blacktux94]

Well she is better than Astro.

[ChrisNguyenRoxs]

Honestly I don't think she's that good :\ Her voice breaks a way a lot.

[lukemadd]

@ChrisNguyenRoxs That's her style. Music would become tedious if everybody sounded the same.

[Hannah22443]

She 's not better than demi

[blizzardgeckos]

Go Drew. <3 I will buy all of your records as soon as they come out. Why I say that? 'Cause I know you are winning.

And to L.A., stop protecting Astro, if that's what you are trying to do.

[snow4me4eva]

Drew i love you, ive been a fan from day one but i think you really need to to something more up beat maybe try a song from the top 20 pop list :O)

[KidFlashWallyWest]

she was the one to beat but know she is beginning to fade know that the other contestants are rising to the occasion, and she is being left in the dark

[KidFlashWallyWest]

No hate on Drew ,but this song does not fit her voice and is dwarfed to the original. She does not have the range to hit all the notes well. I know people will hate to hear this but its true I like her just would have never chosen this song for her. Simon needs to start guiding her more, because letiing her do watever she wants is not working. Its great that she has her own ideas as all artist should but Simon needs to stop her from making the bad choices such as this song choice.

[AlaKowa]

HQ my ass

-.-

[mrsblackandblue]

OMFG! i love you

[SMRMikie]

What an awesome voice. I very much look forward to her first album. LA doesn't have a clue.

[deicoking]

in the high notes she fail. just that

[SierraKilo28595]

Shes amazing and LA is just a dick for saying wat he said to her..... As i can recall LA said she sings songs dat 40 year olds sing but no affence what about Astro who sang a Eminem song which is in his late 30s and Astro is only 12... Im glad both Drew and Simon put LA back in his place !! :)

[loveya3x3]

@SierraKilo28595 hes 15....

[EcstaticOWL]

It doesn't even seem like she's trying!!! DREW, WE LOVE YOU!

[TheLgurney]

everyone, sSTOP HATING ON DREW SHE IS AMAMZING AND PROBLEY BETTER THAN U! SHE IS ONLY 15 AND IS AMAZING! SIMON IS RIGHT AND SHE HAS A VERY UNIQUE VOICE. IF UR GONNA HATE, THEN DONT COMMENT NOONE WANTS TO HEAR IT. THUMBS UP FOR DREW!<3

[hsm4ever21]

no she covered a song that her voice could not hit...thats the trouble when u sing a song with that many high notes. If you dont get it the same it doesn't sound good

[duhhitskaybay]

your awesome

[yvanqwerty]

they only liked it because the song is REALLY good.

[dylanthechameleon]

OH MY GOD. She's not pretending to be better than Demi Lovato. She's just covering it.

[pinkamos]

@dylanthechameleon I don't think she was trying to be better than Demi. I love this song by Demi and I think she did a good job

[Kellyrox16]

@dylanthechameleon uh...she's singing it. how does that make her "pretending to be better than demi" ...like really. you have no life my god.

[HailandMell]

@dylanthechameleon :OO!

[agniecha1434]

This girl will be the star .....:-)

[robhartjr1993]

Uh Simon is fucking her. She isnt that good. She better not win. Thats Chris Rene and Josh Krajciks place. AND SHES FUCKING BORING. who listens to an entire album of slow bullshit songs? old emo people? Seriously she isnt that good this week. Shes not artist. Im betting she couldnt make her own shit if she won (please dont let her). Fuck Justin Beiber and his fans.. :)

[TheLgurney]

@robhartjr1993 U CAN SHUT UP SHES PROBLEY BETTER THAN U. at least she made it this far. stop hating and get a life. thanks(:

[robhartjr1993]

@TheLgurney LOL im pretty sure me posting one VERY TRUTHFUL comment doesnt mean I don't have a life idiot. Check you're spelling before you argue on the internet. And yes, she sings better than me. But she still doesn't deserve to win with her selfish 'im gonna do boring slow versions of fast songs every week' attitude. :) Happy Thanksgiving

[TheLgurney]

@robhartjr1993 actually, she has a very unique voice. your not a judge anyway and your only one vote, so your opinion is worthless. this song has great meaning and she was singing a deep song to her great friend. she is amazing and will go far, whether she wins or not. and she sings the same way everyweek because thats the kind of music she is in too. i will admit her voice isnt perfect yet, she has some pitch issues, but shes only 15. back off she has potential and spirit. happy thanksgiving(:

[mjsupafly]

@robhartjr1993

wy u sed dis nasti shitz dat liek simnoe is fukin her, datz sum nastiass shit u sed on dis vidzo

[brae1231]

I know Drew is gonna end up winning :)

[TheRosemariela]

DREW is better for Country POP!!! i hope she'll remain with this genre, because that is she... she's not proud and not wannabe. she's not trying to be like any other pop singers...

[TheRosemariela]

the songs from Country is more SUBSTANTIAL than any other Genre. they have beautiful meaning, and yeah, i hope drew will remain country pop!

[TheRosemariela]

i agree with you kayzeestfu... drew is not trying to be Demi... Drew has a unique voice..

[TheRosemariela]

DREW, MARCUS CANTY, JOSH K., and LAKODA RAYNE!

[kayzeestfu]

For a fourteen year old with numerous years less of experience than Demi, she did phenomenal. She's not trying to beat Demi or be Demi, she's trying to make a name for herself, and I think she's doing a fantastic job.

[pinkamos]

@kayzeestfu so agree with you. she did a really good job

[TheRosemariela]

i hope drew will remain on the competition after LA's fuckin comment... she has a lot to prove... i hope she'll sing COUNTRY POP songs... I like Drew and her voice so much, but yeah, Simon should have given her best songs... she deserve to be on the spot..

[jessicaalovesyuoo]

- You cannot beat demi's version , sorry to be a hater but you sucked at all the high parts , cmon ' DEMI FOREVER < 3 ! this is my opinion (:

[Jasmine22777]

LA is 55 and Demi is 19 and he's calling her old? WTH?!

[TheRosemariela]

and i think the greatest factor that makes an artist remains on the spot is the ATTITUDE... MILEY CYRUS, BRITNEY SPEARS, LINDSAY LOHAN, they were great artists and talented.... they are indeed VERSATILE artists. but their attitude smashed them out of the spot...

[TheRosemariela]

I agree. Drew has a wonderful and unique voice... but i think she sounds good with Country POP...

[ontheair91]

With Drew, this is the deal. She has an astonishing voice. But with a good voice, you have to be versatile with it. Alot of range and variety. That's what the Music Industry is all about. The Most successful artists do that. Or else YOU WILL BE JUST A ONE-HIT WONDER! I'm afraid Drew is going in that direction. She needs an Up-tempo song, Simon. Enough with the slow songs. Even Demi Lovato herself doesn't sing all Slow Songs, she has alot of range. Drew justs needs range, and that's it!!!!!

[TheRosemariela]

WE LOVE YOU DREW!

[TheRosemariela]

DREW is better than any young hollywood artists, because she keeps her feet on the ground...



[TheRosemariela]

I hate hearing the comment of L.A Reid about Drew's performance last night... He did'nt know what the fuck he's talking about AGE Appropriateness. the song Skyscraper is Lovato's original. lovato is young and her songs are appropriate with DREW's age and voice....

[TheRosemariela]

FUCK you L.A Reid!



[TheRosemariela]

I love more Demi's original.... But i love Drew as an artist more than Demi Lovato... Drew is humble unlike other hollywood artist with great talents but no substance...



[HRKING1234]

@onliiPrincezza dude, you must know some real outstanding music if think this wasn't really good. i bet you would sound about as good live as OAR or some person that cant sing in front of millions of people, so if i were you, i would get a life, and go find a BAD singer to give your BULLSHIT comments to

loser

[TheRosemariela]

DREW is the best here in the Philippines

[ontheair91]

L.A., WHAT THE HELL???? DEMI L. IS 19 YEARS OLD. SHE'S A TEEN!!! WHERE DID 40 YESRS OLD COME FROM????

[RedSeoify]

hmm i could of sworn i was watching Drew sing but why are there alot of comments about Astro?

[penotch]

geesh what the heck is up with all the drew bashing. why not shut up and not view the video! i think she did a fantastic job, i love demo's version too! so stop all the hating cause you're all just jealous if you're gona beat drew down. kinda ironic since that's the meaning of the skyscraper song.. go on try to tear her down but she'll rise like a skyscraper!!!!

[vampita]

Anyway Drew you talk too much!

[vampita]

After hearing here, now I know how beautiful demi voice..drew..frankly speaking its ugly

[yourmom9750]

shes good.. but i dont think she does big songs.. because her voice cant handle it. just my opinion.

[liittlesammy]

Drew is a good singer, but I think she should let Demi Lovato sing this song. She can't top Demi Lovato on this song.

[atlukfan08]

truth is that both sing this song great in their own ways! I have seen demi sing this live and not hit the high notes at the end and it's her song. The fact is the perfection we hear and those awesome perfect high notes are often only achievable in the studio which is fine. What makes live performances awesome is that they are true and honest and connecting and drew does that everytime!!

[michaelrossloosier]

Do it Drew...this is your time!!!!  TAKE IT!!!!

[MegaDan3D]

She didn't do that ONE high note. Oh well. Decent performance. :D

[loveya3x3]

terrible . high notes sucked so bad its ot even funny.

[zWookiee]

@loveya3x3 As a superstar your supposed to make it your own, if you want to hear her same EXACTLY the same as Demi then just listen to Demi..

[whyiaskyou79]

She is so fucking good.

Simon's comment was EXACTLY what I felt like saying to LA. It was so satisfying.

[TheGrakky]

fucku LA, sail off into the sunset and off the edge of the world, take a boatload of haters with you, u phony prick

[Katrina13love]

OMG LA get a life. All he does is make Drew feel like she is terrible when we all know she isn't. She is sooo gonna win I can feel it. I'm no Drew hater, I'm a Drew LOVER.

[hopefullynotgone]

she ruined this song, whenever I listen to Demi's I cry, this I was so frustrated and confused, I didn't get it at all. don't get me wrong she has a good voice...

[katelynn793]

That being said I do like her voice. it's very unique. Just not suited for the song. Drew, Chris Rene, and Rachel Crow have a really good chance of winning.

[katelynn793]

@StatexAlchemistxXx : I have to disagree. How does the original suck again? Over this where Drew couldn't belt out any of the high notes?

LA wasn't right about it not being age appropriate it just wasn't the best song for her voice. Simon just hates any criticism directed at his girls who have always received good comments thus far.

[StatexAlchemistxXx]

I've never heard the song before Drew's performance and I have to say thank god. The original sucks hard. Drew's voice is amazing and turned this song into something I want in my Ipod. Drew and Josh are the only two people who should win this competition. The other contenders are good but that's the problem. They need to be better than just good and they aren't.

[alloutcowgirl247]

Drew your amazing do not listen to LA. he has 2 RAPPERS that sing RAP songs EVERY time. so.... he says you need to change your songs.... ummm tell him that they need to stop "singing" rap songs EVERY frappin week. keep your head up beautiful

[XR42]

She really turned it around from singing just soft songs to something that was more up beat. This was one, no, this is her best performance. Songs like this would really get her to be noticed.

[HarrMeme]

she can sing the song it is just tht it does not suit her voice

[cookiesandcream62]

I am so happy she sang a Demi Lovato song!! x And she sang it beautifully!

[PascalRenee]

Drews voice is angelic. I am so glad she was found- I can't wait until her songs come out. ANd BTW LA Reid this song was by Demi L (a teen) surely not a song for 40 years old. And this isn't about Drew versus Demi it's about Drew period. She even sang Justin B's song Baby and hands down could record it and make millions.

[nessaacosta]

she's not trying to beat the amazing Demi Lovato, she's just trying to stay in the competition. I'm a Lovatic and i vouch for this girl :)

[nlk280]

All Lovato fans are missing the point. Drew isn't trying to "beat" demi's version, she isnt trying to out-do demi, and she wont. She's just singing a song. give her a break

[samakler]

i love drew and i think this was good but i dont think it was the best song to fit her voice and it was her weakest performance so far (which just means it was good instead of incredible). Im really really really hoping she makes it through so we can see her continue to be awesome!!!

[TotallySelGomez]

i have been waiting for Skyscraper to be covered on X Factor. Next = Demi performing live.

[josephvega4271994]

The begining was okay but not great,, her voice isnt strong enough like demi's for the end... maybe as she grows up...but i doubt it.. #TEAMDEMI

[TheStarstruck993]

I really think she should win! She might only be what 14 years old but she has the most unique voice out of all the others! I badly want her to win! I don't think she sings this song better than Demi but this is very very good!

[JemiansRule]

I'm sorry but this can NEVER beat Demi's version!

[TheRosemariela]

Lovato's original version is unbeatable, but we love Drew more than DEmi LOVATO.

[jessicaalovesyuoo]

@TheRosemariela she is not great . she should stick to country . Demi Lovarto FTW ! <3

[kattiediddit]

@JemiansRule she's a way better singer than Demi!

[JemiansRule]

@kattiediddit uhh no she can't even hit the right notes and if she is better then why is she on a compitition to win and Demi just got there because of her voice if she was that good of a singer she would already have a recording contract.. :L so No!

[Biltospill]

@JemiansRule unfortunately they will let anyone... even morons like yourself, comment. Drew will be a huge recording artist! There are better singers than DEMI that have not been discovered, this does not mean one is better than the other. Music is not linear. You however are a complete idiot.

[Coolio8823]

@JemiansRule "...if she was that good of a singer she would already have a recording contract.." No. Look at how long Christina Grimmie went without a contract, and she was amazing :D

[newgirl2349]

i liked it but not the changing beat but it was still really good

[PolishBelieber]

she's just too amazing... <3

[jaydeziner]

See she IS versatile. She can kick up her tempo. People are stupid

[fluff1215]

OmG if you dont like it dont post a comment just press the dislike button(thats the finger pointing down)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[TORONTOcelebrity]

Did Demi cover this?

[JemiansRule]

@TORONTOcelebrity no, it's Demi's song :L

[slawushka]

i dont like it!

[monikaelle]

I barely care what people have to say on youtube but this was truly freakin' INCREDIBLE and if you disagree why are you even watching this ? There's been enough suicide among teens within the last 2 years, Drew is hope for everyone. I hope karma gets you haters,I truly do. DREW, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.

[chapadeau89]

Drew you have so much talents!!!! Canada are with you !!!!

[TheOliivkaa]

She is POLISH !!! (mayby) :D.

[Forever1DBelieber]

Love it! But the high notes were a bit off tune

[Slpersad1]

I love Drew. But she faltered on a few of the high notes. I get the feeling she was a bit scared. Nevertheless, a great performance.

[Click0next]

God I hate LA Reid, He picks rap over tallent and hes just an overall idiot

[footballking1122]

Not bad. Not good.

[oceangirlIam]

The things LA says to Drew do seem oddly chosen and they don't make sense. Age appropriate songs? What's that now a days? Drew has an enormous chance at winning this contest, perhaps it has more to do with that.

[JastraJumba]

You said drew is always being too original and not showcasing her talent, to make it worse, last night you said skyscraper is not suitable for her age to sing. Ain't your Astro doing the same? Rapping non stop. Don't you get tired too? LA pls make sense.

[xManipsx3x]

Awful O_O! Demi much better < 3.

[wagner425489]

Drew is AMAZING, she can go high vocals and keep it, and while L.A says she sins the same thing everytime, his little rapper raps the WHOLE time, no siging! He's just trying to make pointless crap! I LOVE YOU DREW!

[Click0next]

@wagner425489 I have apsolutely no respect for L.A. He picked Chris Rene, and Astro over a country singer who had 10x more talent then the both of them combined.

[classi2themax]

I am so glad LA always criticizes her - she always sounds the same and needs to be eliminated!

[76jnette]

I am sick of LA ripping on her she is an amazing singer...and LA is just pissed that he didn't get that group!

[Poohsny101]

it wasnt that good tbh but she has a good voice

[Extellable]

I'm so proud of her for finally standing up for herself. Time after time, LA bashes her with horrible insults. That she didn't deserve because she's doing great. She would just stand there and take it. He made a ass out of him self, kinda like his buddy Astro. Astro believes he is better than all the other singers and he's too good to be in the bottom 2. Now he sucked ass yesterday because he was scared of being voted off. Anyways that just proves LA makes stuff up. Saying it's a song for 40 ye

[JustMyCaitlin]

She's from POLAND!! <3

[Acaprovers]

I love this song, but i love it better by Demi Lovato, oh and my friend and I did a cover. Check it out!!! Im 11 she is 10 and she dances i sing and if u see the the video, we hope u like it! <3

[TheLimShuNi]

I think LA is just fucking jealous of Demi Lovato.

[alabamabregan]

You can't really blame L.A. He's probably told to create some edge rather than be nice all the time and for some reason he's keying in on Drew. At one point he said he wanted to mentor her. She couldn't have changed that much since he said that. So he's go other issues happening and maybe he'll let them go next week, because we know Drew will be around.

[heymorford]

Drew you are awesome, not just for your timeless renditions but for standing up to L.A. Reid he is becoming nothing more than a bad loser and is doing anything he can to topple your success. It wont work America is judging this competition, thank God for that.

L.A. stop slinging unfounded crap, last time you hadn't heard of a movie that Drew sung a song from yet everybody in America had. Then its all Drews songs sound the same, and now your latest asinine attempt is its for over 40's .

[beachhawiian]

Drew did so good. :) I literally got goosebumps while watching this.

I have no Idea what LA is talking about? Singing songs thats are meant for 40 year olds? What? Demi Lovato sang this song and she is 19! And her audience is kids like Drew.

If he was her mentor he would love her, but because Simon is hers he just hates her for no reason!

[natashacelestex]

Shes fucking crazy good. 

[MessingWithPpl]

Ok lets get this straight LA, you are the most stupidest person tonight. You've been a hater to Drew lately, and that isn't fair. She deserves the best and I hope that the people who are critizing you right now, will make you say better to the amazing, Drew Ryniewicz. Drew we all love you and don't listen to those dumb haters out there!

[drewAES]

She sang it better than demi:)

[xManipsx3x]

@drewAES : Hahaha... SAY WHAT?! O_o

Are you kidding true?

[thr531]

Not better than Demi... but Drew did amazing! This is a tough song to sing!

Go Drew!

[000selma]

Loved this.. Her and Astro are my favs although their are 2 others who sing amazingly good

[Winemiller23]

Drew is a great singer.. with alot of talent she a has a bunch of potential..u guys are just jealous. Shes also very beautiful :)

[BucsDucs99]

Pretty (but creepy at the same time) song, but this just wasn't good, and it was easily Drew's worst.

[xXxWeirdohxXx]

Nobody can sing Demi's songs better than Demi. Sorry drew.

[stktrader1I]

@xXxWeirdohxXx I agree with you No one can sing that song like Demi can but Demi is a Disney star with ton and ton of coaching while Drew just stepped out of a small town and I partially blame Simon.. I'm sure he had to hear that song before she sung it on the stage and he okayed it .. and really she shouldn't have tried to sing such a powerful song without being as trained as Demi has been,, but she is just 14 and what other 14 year old can sing any songs in this genre.. not many I'm sure..

[xXxWeirdohxXx]

@stktrader1I Demi is no longer a Disney star, and Demi had a single out when she was younger around 10 or 7? she could already sing. i doubt there was much coaching involved, and i agree with you that girl is just 14 she bearly getting started. i wish her luck not trying to put her down in any way. and if it sounded like it i apologize 100% .

[Syrenity17]

Alright guys shut it. Drew was amazing. She put her heart and soul into this song because it means a lot to her and in my opinion, she did just as good as Demi if not BETTER. I really do think that whoever said she sucks or talks her down is jealous. I highly doubt that any of you people can sing half as good as she can. So screw all you Drew Haters! I <3 Drew!!(:

[SynDivine]

@Syrenity17 Thats great, too bad singing competitions arent about heart or soul its about whos good and whos bad

[anneg3513]

@Syrenity17 AMEN!

[leemblake]

Does anybody know how to text vote? I just dialed number. How much does it cost? I have magic jack and cell phone.

[stktrader1I]

LA said that Drew should sing age-appropriate songs, not "songs for people that are 40." Except "Skyscraper" is by Demi ' Lovato. A Disney star who is 19 years old.Paula tries to point this out, and it goes entirely over L.A.'s head

Simon awesomely ripped him a new one:

"I am sick to death of your pointless, stupid criticism of this girl ...Shut up for a second, L.A. This is unfounded, it is inaccurate, you are talking complete and utter rubbish."

This internet quote tells it like it is.

[JOBROFAN1583]

ehh demi lovato sings this SO MUCH BETTER i mean she's ok but she didn't have any emotion & she didn't sing on the right key that's just my opinion 

[trunguyen909]

@JOBROFAN1583 she is trying to make it orginal and her own

[JOBROFAN1583]

@trunguyen909 i know but honestly nobody sings it better than demi herself

[samyakeith]

demi lovato is way better...in my opinion she butchered the song

[leemblake]

Awesome!!!!!!!Grown man cried I will comment on the ones i like for now on. If I dont like u I usually change channel anyway. Thank goodness dancing with the stars was on.
