what what??!!!lol good job gurl!!!:)u have a very beautiful voice nd a lot of guts to get up in front of the school i think but to sing this!!!:)good job
you did a great job on this song! You are very talented! I know what you mean about being disappointed in the American Idol process. My niece tried out and didn't get past the first round! She is beautiful, tall, has a great figure and 22 years old... not to mention can blow some of those top ten finalists on American Idol away! Keep on trying because you are a very talented and beautiful young lady!
Seems like you're trying to hit the notes but are not singing with as much emotion as the song deserves, but boy do you ever hit the notes. Great voice.
Ther's no such thing as a black people song...what's wrong with you people...it's all in the voice...Katie you did a great job... my daughter sang this song... check out alx4722.. to each his own!!!
For all of you sayin if this is a black girl's song,, its not... you cont have ta be black ta sing it you just need the right kind of voice ta sing it and unfortunately she doesnt. you need soul like Beyonce and Christina... she doesnt have itt...but thats just my opinion....
Just because a black girl sung it first doesn't make it a black girl song...I just sat through dozens of other black girls singing it and this girl was 10 times better. Not trying to be racist at all, just saying its a song for people that can sing, not a single race song. I think she sang it beautifully! I wish I could sing like that! Hope you have an agent!
Well Katie, after you sack your drummer (far too loud), I'm sure you'll go far. You just sang a heartwrenching song, the way it should be sung. Well done. You are fantabuous! ;-)
I am totally unimpressed with singers and musicians on youtube generally but GIRL YOU BELT IT OUT!!! YOU ROCK! KEEP IT UP!!! If you are this amazing now, you will be a total star in a few years!
hahah - funny thing about that is - i did. and i didn't even get past the preliminary round. it was really upsetting to see how that show really works :\ i MIGHT try again if they ever come to Dallas. We'll see...
Seriously girl, you rock, and I'm a tough critic, especially with Etta James songs...no one can touch the Etta . But one has to appreciate that you weren't trying to imitate her, just using her song to showcase your obvious talent
Best amateur version I've heard (and I mean no disrespect, by Amateur I mean someone who doesn't make a living through singing) You version is pleasent, pretty, and perhaps most importantly ON PITCH. You didn't over sing it, over Adlib, or try and do to much with the melody. I thnk you're great, its understated, and melodic. Definately a fan.
aw, thank you so much! thats the nicest comment i think i've received on here! :) definitely motivation to put more up and keep on going! thanks, again :)
I like it. Forget about all the haters on your song. Ppl hate on Beyonce , Etta James, Jennifer Hudson, etc. So let everybody keep talkin shit cuz thats how u know u doin something right.
sumthin iz tellin me yu can do EVEN BETTER!!! i mean dnt get me wrong yu hav a BEAUTIFUL voice!! BUT I THINK YOU CAN FREAK THIS SONG EVEN MORE!! BUT GOOD WORK GIRL!!! lol yu MURDERD THA STAGE!!!
ok-screw the guys or gilr downs there who thinks you suck-you are good honey i should know i been singing for 15 years-and have cds made-i know what singing is and you got it!!!!
katie, you took one of the hardest songs from a lengendary singer etta james -at last ,and did it very well to your style and i think with your on stage beauty presentation and a little coaching to your voice your going to go places ,dont get discourage ,your always going to have your critics ,thats the way it is , just be yourself in your performance and the way i see it , you have great potential.
i was actually singing into the head piece - we had to wear them in the show i was in... but i felt awkward singing that song on the stage without any prop or anything to hold on to... so i used the hand mic and stand...
a) i will never be able to sing it like etta james. i'm not etta james. i'm katie welch. and this is how i sing.
b) i didnt put this up here to prove to the world that i'm better than anyone... epsecially not etta james, or beyonce, or whoever the hell you are.
c) sorry you think i've messed up such a classic - i think i sang my version exactly how i wanted to sing it. watch etta james' videos instead of mine if you want to see the real deal.
Katie, you did an excellent job on your rendition. When covering a classic you are never trying to copy the original, you did it well. Keep it up. My daughter performs this song a lot, check her out, (Victoria Matthews)
You tell 'em! You have a lot of class, such a good come-back..lol... I love your style. I am a music junkie...we just came from a jam... my gal and I love oldies and we swing dance an awefull lot. I would pay to hear you play anytime!
You arrogant son of a bitch. Seriously, nobody cares how many points you can get on karaoke hero. Stop bringing people down to your level by insulting they with an internet flame war. You are the type of person that makes me lose all faith in humanity. You KNOW that this chick is better than you and your comment screams "I'm jealous." Before you start insulting someone over why you are the best singer in 2nd grade, take a long hard look at yourself and ask, "Am I worty to live?"
You picked a great song Katie. You sang it well. I do agree with nooshooz. More emotion and soul would bring it over the top. Great voice but for this song you gotta channel Etta and her strong feelings for Len Chess.
WOuah! That's what I said when I heard you singing. You have lots of talent and I'm deeply touched by this song that will be the first dance on my wedding day. I wish you could sing it that day!
Hi there, you're singing it well, but I feel the song needs more soul/emphasis in parts. You do play with your voice, but it sounds detached, not too rooted in your soul. Still, you're doing a good job. Keep it up!
gosh i still feel like that show was last week... instead of last year! i still love seeing your headset while you "sing" into the handheld haha :) you're still amazing
so,, You can sing,,, not doubt in that.. BUt i agree with monica... i think you can so do some country..i think you could go very far with that. BUt your amazing!!!!! i love it!!!

d) I know how to put the same passion into the song as the artist does
" I can tell that you weren't feeling yourself "
