  • I LOVE THIS SONG AND SAM COOKE WAS SO HANDSOME RIP!!!

  • i honestly do not remember one thing about this chick. i've seen every single season if IDOL since it came on. i have no idea who this girl is... and she was the top girl this season??

  • @decolady2 Your loss. She should have won.

  • Her best cover hands down is Beyonce's Love on Top.

    Love it!

  • watch her cover of beyonces on top on worldstarhiphop dope

  • fat fuck!

  • The good ones (or my favourites at least) always come third. (Syesha, Haley, Melinda)

  • how the hell did this girl not win? or have a cd now? her voice is beautiful

  • simon : ''''randy, randy, randy u've made her cry shhhh'''' awn

  • THE BEST. SO pist she didn't win.

  • Paula may have had a point here, but aside from that, is this when she started drinking? I thought it was great.

  • @JeauDacious I guess you were wrong ;)

  • i think the fat around randys stomach has got into his ears..... because that was BEAUTIFUL.

  • Randy never got something as wrong as he got this one.

  • HAHA 4.14 simon - "you've made her cry Randy" lol

  • Sorry - I loved Syesha during her season, I wanted Cook to win but Syesha wouldve been fine as well. She was amazing!! But this performance was not good. Not terrible but not good!!! I agree with Randy, she was disjointed in her phrasing. It sounded like she was cutting the words off too soon. I love this song performed by Adam Lambert!!

  • @acciofirebolt29 Are you crazy? She's amazing in this. And no, Adam's version felt very forced and insincere. LOVE SYESHA

  • @jupiterflunk92 I love Syesha as well. But this was a very weak performance from her. She was better than this. And no, Adams version did not feel forced to me. It was one of the performances where it seemed like it was coming from his heart. He pulled it back and showed genuine emotion. Took it to "church" at just the right time. Just because you like someone doesnt mean that you cant admit when they arent at their best.

  • @acciofirebolt29 i thought this was her best performance

  • Randy is a hater they should have kicked him offf too!

  • @JeauDacious Haley is pitch perfect and has great stage presence. Syesha was my fav in her season, and now Haley is my favourite this season. :D

  • @wuzupraphy I'm glad you like Haley. Well, she has better pitch then almost any other contestant on the show. And from what you said you probably haven't seen her performance of God Bless the Child. She has SO much strength in her voice.

  • Why is Randy still a judge on this show... ?_?

    He did this to Syesha now he's doing the same to Haley this season. ???

  • randy is a dumb fuck!

  • This song and performance was so beautiful.. I understood why she cried and I feel her 100%..

  • I just looked at this and Syesha was awesome! I cried with her. I hope she is doing great on Broadway and in her marriage. I hope she knows Jesus as her Personal Savior and Lord most importantly. She has a gift and she is beautiful and precious!!!

  • I got goosebumps at 00:50 when she says, "...and i'm afraid to die." that line is POWERFUL.

  • I voted for her a lot. I expected her to win, Archie in 2nd, w/ Cookie in 3rd. It didn't work out that way, but Sy was simply amazing. Her voice is smooth, controlled, & powerful. Her looks are beyond belief. She has it all.

  • great song she did sam great justice

  • she could've win :(((((((((((((

  • Syesha has been one of my favorite contestants in A.I. history...she didn't get the credit she deserve in this competition. she is amazing

  • she has an insanely good voice i think she just needs more training for performance skills. singing is a talent and a skill, she has sooo much talent and some skill but needs to improve the latter.

  • @extmach She's grown soo much since this, she sounded so good on the dreamgirls tour

  • .. i really love her voice.. coz its impressed on my memory so much

  • MONUMENTAL!

  • Randy is a jerk!

  • this was a beautiful performance and her vocals were amazing. who wants to sing a song exactly like the original?? then whats the point of a remake? randy's can be the biggest idiot!!!! at least simons still loveable.. randy just talks about nothing

  • @MaryRSaunders I agree and this was her best performance and Randy's all time low. He made being a judge look like being an idiot. He needs to leave the show now. Time for someone new in his slot especially without Paula and Simon. Paula overwhelmed her with such huge compliments. I was bawling too. They both completely discredited Randy's ignorance.

  • she's so beautiful..

  • The last that i heard a news from her is that she's in broadway. She's playing beyonce's character in Dreamgirls. So thats good.

  • As I watched this (again) I kept hoping someone would muzzle and then beat the sh_t out of Randy, a person with maybe 1% of Syesha's talent.

    It seemed like the judges went out of their way to sabotage Syesha that year. She was only the best vocalist ever on the show, and a dynamic, beautiful performer.

  • See how the judges are always dissing her? Watch her come out on top..Just like Jennifer Hudson. This show is so not for singers like her, its wack.

  • beautiful.......

  • great version as compared to lambert's version.. this is great vocals..

  • I LOVED it when Paula said 'welcome to your dream Syesha'.... what a sweet thing to say!

    And, BIG bonus, I just got to see Syesha onstage in the role of Deena Jones in "Dreamgirls" in SF! Amazing performances by all!

  • randy yous a hata

  • she gives kelly clarkson a run for her money. thats the best ive ever heard that song.

  • LETS BOYCOTT RANDY AND BRING JAME FOX INSTEAD . . . i mean all the original judges are gone might as well make it official :)

  • @stolen4eighty ...lol.i agree

  • the best performance ever!

  • Syesha had the misfortune to come along during "The year of The Davids". She gave strong performances week after week (including this one) but somehow we still had this nagging feeling that she would only get so far no matter what.

  • I guess Randy does not like change - she made the song her own and it was beautiful.

  • Killed it!

  • This is a soulful song! she can sing very very well! but not all people can sing this song... it sounds too much like pop or up to date r&b-pop together... i didnt like it...

  • looks 10 dress 10 song 10 performance 11

  • this was just A-MA-ZING!!!

    aw bless the girl,.. for holding her on every week she didn't get the credit she deserved. this time randy went too far.. he shouldn't been able to come up with such bs! that's why she cried i think!

  • This song is amazing. She sang it like an angel! I agree with you belairbum, she never got the credit she deserved in this competition. I mean she was amazing!!!!! She sang from her soul and thats true talent. She was believable!

  • These black divas never cease to amaze me sooo beautiful and talented shuddup randy u need 2 b fired!

  • im sorry but i still remember this performance. I think syesha is one of the best vocalist the show have ever had. THis performance in particular really showcased that. Amazing

  • this is clearly the best on idol, this one

  • Lilly Scott's version was the best in my opinion.

  • Gosh, I loved Syeha's version, lets just agree that they were both fantastic.

  • and yet she still didn't go on

  • I really think AI should ditch the four judges they have now and just let Paula judge the contestants by herself

  • Gosh!! I missed Paula after watching this video!! I want her baaaaaccck!!

  • she is the best!

  • still fantastic - still moving.

  • what a wonderful speech paula gave

  • i know simon is not gettin on randy for makin someone cry.......

  • i love her dress

  • wtf randy?!

  • WOW!!!

  • yep. she's fantastic

  • Gawd, this girl is brilliant!

  • The only person I have ever seen look sexy while crying.

  • If I had to hazard a guess I'd say that this song means a lot to Randy, and to hear a song you really like tweaked so much that it sounds completely different, as this was, can be really obnoxious. I don't blame him for not liking it.

    That aside, this is an amazing performance, and I really do think Syesha deserved to win this competition. Has she been doing anything more recently?

  • she is currently performing as Dina in Dreamgirls off broadway

  • @IdolReady I just saw her tonite in DREAMGIRLS in L.A. ASTOUNDING ! EXTRAORDINARY !

  • 2:41. Wow was that a drawing? Pretty good.

  • one thing i know is good singing and this girl is on my kist but we just gotta work on a few pitch problems ..but other than that shes bomb....and the dress is awsome also

  • that the hell randy ?? that was beautiful !!

  • I love them both

    I have to say it's a tie

    but it's not fair u got the thump down

  • best singers ever in life.... ?

  • Syesha is amazing!! Never got the credit she so deserved in this competition!

  • @belairbum I so agree, she is an amazing vocalist and this performance was jaw dropping. Randy got it completly wrong

  • wha????????

    Idiots like you are nauseating!!

  • aw... Paula crying at 3:55 ... Syesha that was AWESOME!

  • aw... Paula crying at 3:55 ... Syesha that was AWESOME!

  • clearly randy was high

  • wow!!!!!

  • that heart will be missing next season when its only 3 critiques

  • there's four. ellen's replacing paula

  • that comments kinda pointless considering the fact the comment was made before it was annunced ellens joining duhhhh

  • It was fantastic perfomance

  • she's got a beautiful voice and looks just as good. dam very pretty.

  • WOW! INCREDIBLE!!! This girl can sing. Randy is high here. BTW who's the gay hater calling others fagots.... I'm gay and I'm more man than you.

  • I don't know what Randy be listening to anyway

  • She is so pretty and Randy got it all wrong. I love the arrangement and wish there was a studio recording of this number :)

  • Without Paula performances like this will not receive its deserved recognition! Paula must stay!

  • she look like teairra mari to me

  • I really like that dress! it has syesha all over it!

  • Ryan Secrest is always on top of things. So well suited for the job. Love his humor.

  • barose1, I don't think she was crying because of what Randy said. She was crying because the song meant a lot to her. She even said as much when Ryan talked to her, if you watch it again.

  • Syesha has come a long way since this- broadway etc. She does have a very rich lower register in most of the song- she should have listened t o all the different performances of this song and changed it up to use more of her rich lower registers- she gets shakier and thinner in the high registers- she should have powered through the song more- she has that talent- and used the lower register that she had. She is young- she should have found a younger way and it would have been amazing!

  • Randy is so mean

  • adam the faggot only screams. nothing in comparison to this beautiful amazing singer

  • really? Adam you faggot? I am suprised you didnt cann her an N word you red neck bastard.

  • ok go support your faggot friend ho, you dont know me mother fucker get a life ho!!!!!!!!!!!!! plus youre to chicken to say the n word hahahahahahahh such a pussy, go marry your boyfriend

  • LOL! I am not gay, it just cracks me up that you are such a closeted homosexual that you have to call people faggots on here. Good job by the way of making yourself look like even more of an ignorant sister fucker. Ho

  • you just dont understand idol and take yourself too seriously... go get a life and find another person to fuck with

  • lol?! i dont understand Idol, and you do? ok, If Idol is your life, I think you need to get one yourself. You are the one getting all butt hurt. Good day sir

  • Randy is an idiot! It broke my heart to see her cry when she did so well. I'm glad at at least Simon and Paula knew better.

  • Randy made himself look like a rite nob...Syesha is sweet and her per4mance was mint xoxoxo :)

  • I love this song, she did good, but I agree

    she can't touch Adam. I sing this song as well, (i'm no Adam) I'm 11 years old CHECK ME OUT AND PLEASE COMMENT!

  • love syesha but adam totally blew her away

  • she's amazing... very very good singer.. like her, there are few more

  • I thought she was good but this season, Adam blew her away on this song!

  • i think this was her best performance over all. :)

  • Way to throw her under the bus like every ohter week. Syesha is amazing with her vocals and looks. I can't wait for her album!

  • Well come to your dream, I just love that comment!!!!!!!!!!1

  • when are you going to drop a album! It's been a year already!

  • Randy Got It All Wrong

  • If I had to choose my 5 favorite Idol performances of all time, this would be in there. She was simply perfection.

  • Her voice is amazing and my favorite of all American Idol contestants. She's also the most beautiful of all American Idol contestants, I am totally in love with her. I so want to see much more of her she needs to get that album released.

  • Syesha was amazing in this performance. The judges comments just go to show that their opinion is no better than yours or mine.

  • i think they forgot that she picked a diffcult song for a woman

  • I think she looks like Megan Good.

  • This is flawless and unbelievably awesome! So why are the judges pimping Lil Rounds who isn't even half this talented? So annoying. Syesha was great!

  • I thought Syesha was absolutely beauiful and what a voice!!??1! She is the package and 90% of the time she didnt get the credit that she was due! This song is a good example, what the hell was Randy listening to?? You go girl, I'de buy your CD before most of the other AI winners!!!

  • ha! ur right, she does kinda look like a black version of Carrie Underwood! lol. but i luv her she rocks i cant beleive she didnt win!

  • Dance why would anybody send you any hate mail LOL. I actually see exactly what you are saying!

  • She kind of looks like a black version of Carrie underwood at 1.32. No offense to anyone so please dont send me hate messages. But overall she was one of my favorites that season.

  • Randy is an IDIOT!!

  • I agree! She did NOTHING wrong here. This was a perfect performance. And she didn't try to do anything extra to it. She's a loud girl! I never expected her to whisper the song!

  • I love her dress

  • "We don't have enough time, Hell's Kitchen is gonna start" hahaha priceless!

  • Why are we talking about Vonzell? This is Syesha, season 7, totally different season.

    Syesha was amazing. This song is why she lasted to the top 3.

  • vonzell sang sharp sometimes carrie was more polished

  • Vonzell should've won instead of Underwood!!

  • When is coming out her CD?

  • Absolutely....and here's another example. Season 7 was the best ever and it was because of this lady! She was the winner in my eyes!!

  • yes she should have won NO DOUBT!

  • It may be oversung a little, but you must really understand her underdog story. Her fan base definitely paled in comparison to all 3 guys in the final 4. Just making it to the Top 3 is incredibly difficult for someone like Syesha.

  • I thought it was great, it was her defining moment. Even though I don't think this was her best best, I think it was her best week overall (considering both performances vs. just one in like top 7 or 8)

  • I LOVE the beginning!!!

    3 first words!

    AWESOME!!!!

  • sorry but, she yells her high notes and it's not pleasant to listen to. Although she is a fabulous singer. Iwish she could control it it bit.

  • Beautiful song, beautifully sung.

  • Syesha was pretty amazing... but she usually ended up disappointing me with her song selection. This was actually her wisest choice, and Randy was very off and his critique.

  • have you listen to the song?

  • i agree, Sam Cooke's version is not to be messed with. She made it too over the top

  • truth

  • ugh. this makes me soo mad because i swear the producers must have wanted like a david vs. David showdown because Syesha is way better and talented than both of the Davids and made me kind of lose my faith in the truthfulness of American Idol becuase the best singer should win and David Cook was not the best singer in the show

  • that was really good, randy just wanted her out,  Leona is incredible but she isnt really versitile, i fear she may get boring

  • shut the fuck off randyyy

  • she should have won. the davids were good, but as far as singing goes, she was the best.

  • oh come now, the best voice never won idol, ever.

  • well I do think that Carrie Underwood did deserve to win. I don't give Kelly Clarkson full credit because tamyra left to early and Nikki stayed too long. all other seasons are up for debate. Jennifer Hudson though has proven who the real idol was for her season. oscar and a grammy.

  • Aww, I liked Nikki!!!

  • i did too, but i think she stayed in too long.

  • It's amazing how people like different things because otherwise we'd all be listening to the same songs and using the same ride at the carnival. You thinking Carrie deserved it is your opinion. And I respect it.

    But,

    The best voice is the voice that provides the most range (in key) while singing live and producing audibly pleasing noises. Based on this, the best voice never, ever won Idol.

  • i agree with your assessment of what makes the true american idol, but i have to ask you. Who had the best range in carrie's season. it certainly wasn't Bo Bice. Would you at least agree that she is the best singer (range and all) to win idol.

  • Vonzell Solomon hit higher and lower notes than both Carrie and Bo. Her range exceeded Carrie's by about 4 steps.

  • fantasia

  • I don't like her like i used to. looking back, i think Jennifer Hudson had the best voice of that season. but i did ask for winners. I wanted Vonzell to win, but I still think Carrie sounded better.

  • Just because a person has the greatest range does not mean they have the best vocal talent. Carrie Underwood was more than deserving of her title.

  • OMG i was so mad tht she didn't win!!

    yeah in the beginning she was average but after the beatles week with her performance of yesterday she was my fav!

    I stayed up all night voting for her to get into the finals but alas my efforts were futile

    She will always be the winner of this season in my book

  • she should have won

  • I miss her..!!

  • Oh My God!!! This performance was amazing and very difficult. I actually sat down and tried to sing those notes and they took so much effort to complete. Syesha is AMAZING!!!

  • This song proved one thing

    1) Shes underrated and eventhough simons often right u can tell from the begining the producers told the judges not to make hr win

    2) Randy doesnt know what hes talking about

    3) Paula is so uselesss that even if shes right it feels like shes just rambling, they need to take out randy and paula and bring in new OBJECTIVE judges.. I was so shocked at this.

    Other perfs like vanishing were SPOT ON and they dissed her lol!!!

  • OMG. i like completely agree with everything you just said. the whole show made it so that she wouldn't win, even they she could have.
