American Idol 3 - Diana Degarmo - Broken Wing

[955pokerface]

typical,of younger voices,the lower notes are pitchy,kelly clarkson was even that way.

with guys its usually the other way around. all except the note at the end,this performance was actually terrible

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

How long did she hold that last note?

[jerodlishious]

Dianas performance of Dont cry out loud the second time was a little pitchy though

[grigsbygators95]

i miss the old judges

[georgehavens281]

@grigsbygators95 I agree IDOL was good with the 3 orginial judges..

[rockdiva888]

Diane is a good singer..She is just missing showmanship..

[Racine28]

Am I deaf?  I thought this was brutally off key...

[090783]

Jordin Sparks's version was way better...

[newco113]

@090783 Way, way, way better! lol

[mrpsa]

@newco113 I BET YOU WILL SAY FANTASIA IS BETTER THAN DIANA WHEN FANTASIA DIDN'T EVEN SING THIS SONG!!! HAHAHA....YOU'RE A BRAINLESS COMMENTATOR...WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MUSIC TO HATE ME FOR NOT LIKING FANTASIA ? ARE YOU A GOD OF MUSIC? HAHAHAHA....MUSICAL PREFERENCE IS RELATIVE AND YOURS JUST SUCK!!!!LMAO

[Rafdaniel]

@AlrightOkaay Her career length was longer than that last note =)

[hydrolito]

Hopefully Diana DeGarmo will be remembered when Simon is forgotten. Maybe not but we can always hope.

[AlrightOkaay]

Paula was wrong about her career length

[ilovekelly75]

@AlrightOkaay You're mistaken. She's doing great on Broadway, and has been for a long tme.

[TenaciousC21]

i thought this performance was amazing! one of her best, and what a long ass note! =)

[TheBoldenb]

im so glad fantasia won.......

[36KH]

She is so good when it comes to sustaining notes

[tennisplaya8888]

i actually did not like her very much but i really loved when she sang this song

[orion2050]

Diana será una de las grandes voces de Siglo 21, felicidades

Diana will be one of the great voices of the 21st Century

[xoitsrachel]

diana was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[o0ber]

She was already amazing going into the competition but she definitely continued to improve throughout the show.

[xxkmlsmpxx]

i think she sounds really good... and gosh, that note.... fantasia sucks compared to her. then again, fantasia sucks compared to anyone.

[travelchristie]

@xxkmlsmpxx Fantasia is great and that's why she won! I think it's what Simon said she didn't connect with the audience like Fantasia.

[xxkmlsmpxx]

@travelchristie recently i've begun to appreciate fantasia more- i still can't say i like her, but i don't think she sucks anymore. although, as for connecting w/the audience, fantasia didn't really connect with me. diana actually did on a few occasions.

[ispaht]

Great last note. Her lower register isn't very good though. She sounds like she has a stuffed nose.

[Valerio960]

listen LA MAGIA DEL SAX by Minicillo

[missc0rszz]

much much better then fantasia, she shouldve won

[Sohot87]

This just isn't as good as Jordin's or Martina's. Simple as that. Too nasally at times

[curlingiron7658]

She held that note for 17 seconds!!!! DAMN!!!! 1:12 - 1:29 was definately the best part of the song.

[CoolTDIguy815]

On that ast note not ONE time did the falter it was one long solid note! Congrats Diana!!!

[kristaann922]

wow she is incredible!! You guys should watch my version of this song obviously its no diana degarmo but its pretty good for me when i was 16 singing with strep throat lol... just search krista d!

[darnoffside]

She sings country music now and is amazing. Check out her songs on YouTube. Shea lso has a country EP on iTunes called Unplugged in Nashville.

[Cheersfreak]

Amazing

[Sarahmac2008]

I think she was pretty good. for 16.

[ishopatmarketbasket]

she was a cutie, and definitely very composed for a 16 year old

[rpprowd]

Except for that last incredible note, it wasn't one of her stronger performances, as big of a fan as I am of Diana, Jordin Sparks sang it better.

[america87]

i think it's not because of her skill that made her lose, but her voice,,,,

her voice is really annoying... can't help but turn down the volume,,,

[Sohot87]

gosh, her notes are all over the place and the pitch goes off here and there.

[fara40000]

she's got an awsome belting voice, and is great at holding those crutial notes. bravo. :D

[laarbe]

She really can sing. Martina McBride would have been proud.

[sabrinamom]

This was the best AI season ever. A LOT of talent came from this season.

i think the show is not as good as it used to be. . .how many good singers are left?

[MsAmata]

I love her outfit.

[DancingFan28]

I can't believe she didn't win ='[

She held that last note for 18 seconds!

[OJLuscious]

@DancingFan28 i Know Right !!!

[chriswillsurvive]

agreed, longests note in history. she shoulda won not the fantasia person.

[gr187]

watch her sing Don't Cry Outloud when she's wearing the red outfit..and listen to the last note to that..Dianna that is...and you are right...Dianna SHOULD HAVE WON!

[martez07]

yall must be crazy....she can sing but she is nowhere near as good as a Fantasia...she isnt as good of a performer as fantasia...

[sexysango101]

No way, I was super upset when Fantasia won...

[samfrikinrocks]

omgoodness mee too. I do not like her at all., ugh.

[joharmon86]

That was a long ass note.

[yusuckass8]

She should've won, not Fantasia.

[peechyq]

she's ok

[cyrusgreg]

check out martina mcbride's song called "o holy night", but dont check out the live version cuz its not really good. theres two versions of martina mcbride's "o holy night" song

[msredboot7]

the best!!!!

[HotandSpicy95]

i think she is better then Jordin Sparks

[ThatsSoKirby]

omg that last note was like 15 seconds long. WOW

[akithan]

That last note was really good. I still think Jordin was better but Diana rocks too!

[mirrow1233]

remind of jordan sparks

[lebradrian]

This is the performance that proves she will be a country superstar!!! Look for her new song "Thank You" on iTunes in the near future!

[SenatorCurry]

i really like a female singer when she makes me cry but what should i say everything is dry

[ wouldn't that be a nice song line lol ]

[ff8teacher]

man that split-screen effect gets me every time.

[Ninaki13th]

love this song

[butterfly9135]

she is amazing, but jordin does better...;-)

[Ninaki13th]

i agree

[UnBuenPerro]

The second and final part of de song was AMAZING!!!!!!

I will always love my Diana. I remember I was enamoraded by this doll. She was AMAAAAZING! And super cute!

[marquishace105]

i like her and this performance is alright. like it makes me mad when people don't make it as far as they should. like 3rd place Vonzell who would have won Taylor's season easily or Tamyra Gray or even Katherine McPhee. it's so frustrating.

[Bernerker]

i agree, taylor should have not won.. i thought elliot or kat should have took that title

as for vonzell, shes good but i thought carrie was just as deserving

tamyras also good but kelly definitely that title

[1saintsnut]

Jordan Sparks Blows and so does her dad

[928sniper]

Jordin's version is about 10,000x better than this. This is mediocre, at best. I agree, it stuns me this chick was a AI runner up.

[CelestaAngelica]

I actually agree. I like Jordin's performance more

[deonoxivar]

she's a decent singer, but I don't think she's good enough for an AI runner up. Many female contestants on season 7 are better than her, IMO. but that's just what I think :p

[qg6ff]

no way she is definitely good for a runner up. she was 16 freaking years old at that time. of course she wasn't perfect, but she was damn good! think now, she's i think 21...her voice matured

[ff8teacher]

she's alot better than most of them. maybe carly and syesha can but brooke and ramiele will get their asses handed to them.

[deonoxivar]

she's just okay. I can't believe she was the runner up, though.

[qg6ff]

because she is an amazing singer! what do you mean you can't believe it?! She was fantastic

[PEARLJAMANDJCASHROCK]

lol, everyone knockin diana and shes doing better in life than probably 95 percent of us on youtube, including me. hilarious.....dumb asses

[MrsTaylorHicks909]

i think jordins was better, but diana is fantastic, too (:

[McPhever224]

how was she in the bottom 3 after this!??!

She's amazing!

[frazzler9]

Because I don't think she cummincaTED THE story of the song to the audience therefore not connecting.

[maccaf2]

jordin? better?

lets be fair. she's good and stuff, but I bet she can't hold the note how Diana does. if you want to compare, just listen to both performances

[eaneas]

watch carrie underwood's version

[osahju914]

carrie did this song? i thought jessica sierra did it. I love jess, but her vocal on this song was BAAD!

[JNKBSugarland]

shes should have won... i like fantasia and all... but she is ultimately better

hagd! =D

[juliepop]

jordin made it better

[XoCPPoX912]

i agree.

[qg6ff]

they need to get her back on the show! she never has....she was rumored to be on this season, but she hasn't and its almost over!

[jh9990]

when was she rumored to be on this season

[qg6ff]

i heard it earlier in the season. when all the other people were announced. she was on idol extra, but that was it. who knows. all i know is she is the ONLY runner-up to have never yet been on the show after her season.

[jkcurry87]

It's part of the controversy surrounding AI and Diana. They never really wanted her to finish strongly.

Listen to the comments Simon continuously gives her on great performances. The only time Simon was nice to her was Top 4, Top 3, and I think also Top 7 he said was here best performance. But out of tweleve weeks he attacked her mostly.

Top 2 night after "don't cry outloud" listen to his comments. In actuality her earpiece screeched in her ear in the middle of the song. Fishy huh?

[beanagirl10]

She sings all her songs way too fast

[lernypop]

It's not her fault, American Idol's time contraints only allow them a certain amount of time to sing a song each show. And I don't think this song was that fast...

[kanglum]

i love diana degarmo! i wish she got more famous...

[slvta1982]

What ever happened to her?

[lovepool2]

She did musical theatre shows, including almost a year on Broadway in Hairspray. Now she lives in Nashville and is recording a country album.

[1061107058]

jordin sang this song better

[xxxtonytxxx]

yeah she did but I am still a fan of Diana

[AmericanIdolVideos95]

then go watch jordin's.

[JuniperStar13]

She was one of the top 2. She should have won. I will always be a fan.

[teeftaller7]

Country night on season 3 wasn't good.

[AmericanIdolVideos95]

Fantasia, LaToya, Diana and Amy were the best that night.

[ff8teacher]

why was she in the bottom 3?

[persondude07]

She's good. Quit comparing her to Jordin, though. If you want to tear her down by saying she isn't as good as Jordin was on this song, why don't I just kill it right here? CARRIE SANG IT BETTER THAN BOTH OF THEM!

[thosexxx]

actually youd be wrong there... carrie didnt sing it... she sangs martina's Independance Day... Jessica Sierra sang it that season

[persondude07]

Oops... I knew that! Why the hell did I say Carrie?! MY BAD!

[srs955]

Carrie did sing it but not on AI.

[xxxtonytxxx]

carrie sang this song as a demo. I uploaded it if you want to hear it. Jordin is still better.

[AmericanIdolVideos95]

then go watch jordin's.

[alowaaaaa]

Jordin was really incredible on this song..

Diana is one. too nausilious two. thinks that high notes r everything three. sounds SO pitchy

4. no emotions what so ever

I cant belive anyone thinks this owns jordins version

[ars9s]

jordin's was 20 x better than this

[AmericanIdolVideos95]

then go watch jordin's.

[twentin08]

was she the 16 or 17 y/o during the season?

[lovepool2]

She was 16 during AI.

[TheatreHomie]

17 seconds

[USASoCCerGoaL]

I love this girl and her voice, but honestly simon did make a great point. Ive watched her many times and she sings beautifully and it is effortless for her shes so great. But, she does seem to sing without actually bringing her audience in, even when she gets great applause you feel like shes discontent on the audience more so than feeling good about the song herself. Its a harsh critizism but one she needs to fix to get to the highest level in music

[lucyrocks954]

That was a terrific last note!

[skipper8257]

Who the hell is Mantasia?

[PEARLJAMANDJCASHROCK]

it was rigged....check out randys reaction when diana nailed my heart will go on and because you loved me...they didnt want to show her too much approval and influence votes away from fantasia...hyped fant up way too much

[osahju914]

randy picked because you loved me, weird he would not like it...

[osahju914]

how did randy & the judges react to my heart will go on

[jh9990]

Jordin has many vocals problems you people are just blinded by fanboyism(or fangirlism)

[Lenje08]

I disagree. Jordin may have had vocal problems at times, but for THIS particular song, she sang it better and she made it her own.

[buffymovies]

everyone still finds a way to compare. sad. the beginning of the song is a little too low for her which is what the pitche problems are about, she's alot better now adays.

is it just me or does Jordin have perfect pitch?

[ninjawarriordex3]

17 seconds Randy, 17 seconds.

Hasta Lasagna, I got my EyEs on yA!!

[GreenDay1981]

Diana is the true AI3 winner in my eyes. Mantasia sucks!

[daff73]

Jordin's version is better, but this was still good.

[hattiehedgehog]

i think jordin was better at this song

[lemmeseeyourmoves]

awesome. she's very in control of her voice. and what an amazing last note.

[pianoking149]

fatcat91107..you are a son of a bitch. Why you sucking her dick so hard for?? Can you do better?? No i didn't think so. You pussy bitch. Diana is a famous broadway star today and where are you no where. Exactly.

[javier25pe]

wow!!!! great final note... she held it so long and even randy was impressed... i think when she's old she'll be a great seasoned singer... nobody would deny she's great. really like her and she was 16 or 17??!!

[javier25pe]

sorry... broadway*... actually diana has some pitchy probs jordin does not. comparing both songs... but on diana's favor... she sustains really high notes for long times... here she gets 17 seconds and at the finale she got that high note for 12 or 13 seconds... that counts so big... u should watch more carefully before criticizing...

[javier25pe]

haha funny how they fight... they r both great! different styles actually. diana is powerhouse but is more boradway-type... jordin is more...current (watch for kat mcphee's reaction to simon when "current" hahaha) i wanted diana to win and jordin too... u should be proud of having great young singers overthere and support them both...i have said.

[singnpinkbabe]

see, i thought this was good

[2007lchs]

damn she held that note forever... im in awe

[MHchamp]

way better then Jordin Sparks version

[fatcat91107]

first of all they sung 2 different part of the song but i still believe jordin would have murder this part better she just has much range but for diana to be 16 just a1 year younger then jordin as the time she was did great i loved both performaces

[MHchamp]

DIANA IS WAY BETTER she wipes the floor with JOrdin

[fatcat91107]

u died dats why jordin is the american idol n diana's album is sitting on the bottom rack at the 99 cent store

[MHchamp]

first off Your a cron ball and Lame so dont ever make a joke again in your life even is its sarcastic!! And everyone knows Diana is a powerhouse singer the only reason why that sloppy cow jordan is a winner is because American idol Is a popularity contest. If Melinda Doolittle lost to her then you know i am right. AND jordans album Sucked it only made 745,00 which is nothing compared to kelly or carrie

[fatcat91107]

pmg do u knwo alot of artist wish to sell 745,000 tell me why every american idol runner up has done better then dianan including clay justin blake kat eveyrone diana needs to get it together come on there is no way she is better then jordin tell her to grow up n get a voice

[jh9990]

You got that wrong. Jordin didnt sell that much. She didnt even go gold.

[fatcat91107]

well i didnt say she did the othe rperson said she did i wa sjust making a point

[stephanie8192]

She's good...

[MHchamp]

Diana Degarmo WAS SO FUCKING ROBBED

[fatcat91107]

she was with the performances but she has a great voice remember she is only 16

[DrakeandJosh95]

this was a couple weeks because she became sick so why in the world was she in the bottom 3 after this performance?

[D1G1T4Ldarkness]

why would ppl give her hurtful remarks after idol? she did immensely well for her age and everything!

[gisoin23]

I made a grammar mistake i meant "every time she hits a high NOTE"

[gisoin23]

This girl was robbed I mean Who the hell would prefer Fantasias Duck stuck in the throat voice she sounds like a dying cat getting raped every time she hits a hight not. I think America was on crack That year

[eaneas]

i wonder why she was on the bottom three during this week when i fact she sang it good!!!

[DrakeandJosh95]

One of Diana's better performances!

[tamoomoo2]

one of her best, but not as good as Jordin's version

[rankingj]

She did do well, this kind of music suits her better.

[muskinilukun]

This is an awesome performance. This, and "One Voice" is my favorite.

[DancinQueenz]

this was the performance as well as dont cry out loud that got my attention for her she was fantastic, this is good people dont know what ya on about, shes better than most

[TakenChickadee]

she did a great job on this song. she shoulda won!

[eso4]

she was goooooddd !!!! perfect at the end

[jerryingmaster]

She was in the bottom 3 after this? This is insane.

[dolphingirl555]

shes got an amazing voice but it kinda isnt really suited for this song

[sarahtenderheart]

This is her worst song. Well you can't always have good performance. Life ain't perfect. I think she does fast songs best. That's her forte b/c she really knows how to work the crowd!

[qg6ff]

nah she was in the bottom 3 times

two times that definitely didn't deserve it

and one time that was just an ok week but she was sick that week so pretty much regardless of that she should have never been in...

[sarahtenderheart]

I think that she would be really good in high school musical 3.

[paulaAbdul61962]

I totally agree with ashley11201985!!

[ashley11201985]

Jordin Sparks did so much better than her. This isw hard to listen to. Isn't she 17 in this and Jordin can sing circles around her

[qg6ff]

ok i thought the contestants chose at random what order they go...guess not

it seems everytime someone goes last, if they're safe, which they usuaully are, they go first the next week. diana was 12 the previous week now first. katharine of idol 5 went last top 24, first top 20, last top 7 and first top 6, daughtry first top 7, last top 6....

[marieltrelly]

This girl and Jasmine were robbed that season that's why Fantasia is still where she is right now, nowhere in her career.

[alowaaaaa]

lol! i came here to see what she used to sound like ! i liked her but when i listen to this im really disapointed 0:34 thats horrible 0:43 1 11 OUCH THATS UGLY same.. so nausillious.. really really hated it! only gd thing was the end.. listen to Jordins and then ull b blown away.. without that final note shed b dead.. anyways fantasia didnt get robbed she was by far the best

[MapleMardia]

Wow. Seventeen seconds... I'm impressed. :P Anyways, very nice performance. Jordin who?

[Aylafanandre]

This was better than Jordin's.

[unmean]

Jordan was way better on this song. I heven't heard any performance from she before, but I think this was a little bit weak. (except from the last note)

[hickschick21]

I'm sorry,but Jordin sang this SOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!!!! I love Diana,and think she is a total sweetheart,but Jordin's verison gave me goosebumps,and brought tears to my eyes! This did nothing for me,but I still love you Diana:)

[Ilovemusic50]

She sang this beautifully. I can't believe she was in the bottom 3 the following night!

[ndizler89]

She may be able to hold a note for a long time, but who cares? Her performance was cold and emotionless - like Simon said she didn't connect with the audience (or the lyric i think). She was also a bit shaky or flat in the lower parts. Jordin's version was millions times better!

[kuuyu24]

she's not deserving for final 2.. i thought it's gonna be fantasia and latoya.. but sadly, latoya, voted off early, that was so sad.. :(

[osahju914]

why did simon have to say jasmine would go? since he did, an immense outpouring of support kept her on and booted latoya

silly simon!

[tyrique12]

Jordin's version isn't even close.

[qg6ff]

someone told me she was in the bottom 3 after this? you have to be kidding me!

[idoltyler06]

I think she was. I know she had been in the bottem once. I know it was either this or top 9.
