 LL cool j!!!!!!!

[chrrycoketyuy]

AMAZING!!!!

[AaronHolopainen]

Where Can I find more stuff about her? :S

[Teratoma]

I HATE how heavily edited this sequence is. I'd really like to see the way it actually went down. Actually I probably wouldn't. All I know is that Briana is F$%* AMAZING here.

[TheJacksparrow666]

amazing........

[TheCheeranddancegirl]

shez sooooooooooooooooooooooo goooood and simons scaryyyyyyyyyyyyyy ha ha ha h ah ah ah a ah h

[imageworkzz]

[5CherryBlossom]

She's really good.. :) But .. R.I.P to the head phone users. :P

[1864vampirelover]

Wow that was amazing. I love phantom of the opera so i really loved this!

[amorgan1123]

i liked it!

[celticgirl08]

"i just started taking vocal lessons early this year" ?! O_O holy sh*!!

[TheCanadianEuro]

HOLY FUCK CAN I PLEASE HAVE YOUR VOICE?!

[tarasala]

Did anyone noticed Paula's boobs? Loved the song too! Great voice.

[aggiesmoon]

Why does Simon looked not so thrilled lol. Is it because Idol actually wants people who sing pop?

[jarshale]

@aggiesmoon they want people who can be an image for the show and make money.

[Kaztap23]

im obsessed with this

[Kaztap23]

SO GOOOOOOOOOOD

[lagumoza]

Esa chica es hermoza y muy talentoza, yo tambien la amo, aunque no entiendo la necesidad de ir a ese concurso tan superficial, ya que ella es increible y tres personas no pueden decidir quien tiene talento y quien no!!, en fin yo la amo tiene una voz increible y es una chica genial ;)

[bubblanz]

she's awesome :D

[TheLegoFan1]

Lol I love Randy's reaction when she hits those high notes! xD Dunno why but I can't stop laughing! She's brilliant....should go into opera or something like that. =D

[peeps3930]

DAMMMMMMMNNNNN THAT WAS LOUD AN AWSOME AT THE SAME TIME

[CullenGirl707]

She's pretty good =)

[kobetasonik666]

Que bueno la cara de los pavos,

[Leodooom]

She's hitting some DAMN high notes, insane! Shoe should stop overusing her vibrato, though... less is sometimes more.

[hikana18]

I dont see how outside appearances can "disguise talent" as they put it....

[Batman8657]

"Sorry. You have no chance of winning this. You actually have talent."

"I understand." :(

[aShLeYlUvSrOcK098]

:O

[CassandraMotou]

dude... major kudos to this girl. seems shes forcing it just a touch at certain, very brief moments, but seriously awesome work on the high notes (and only trained for a year?!) *shakes her head* ye gods.... my headphone-wearing ears are still ringing. she'd better be shaking the rafters on Broadway by now, or theres somethin wrong with this world :D Erik would be honored to hear this tribute, methinks

[Silverone43]

i am completely shocked that table didnt shatter...

[Kotlettbengt]

1:21 - Ho. Ly. Fuck.

[raresmarius1]

you can change the ANNETTE :::: and then i think NIGHTWISH can be more good !

[raresmarius1]

verry good congrulation !!!

[1AdrianR]

Do not adapt the voice to rock! If its that good, why take it to something lower. Continue to opera, she would make a wonderful coloratura soprano. I could imagine this voice, when developed, singing Der Holle Rache.

[aggiesmoon]

@1AdrianR She could sing symphonic metal like Tarja!

[MementoMori1993]

Jesus CHrist!!! Awesome,!!!! such a talented girl...

[akaka97]

Man!, she's got an amazing voice but an awful style!!, love her voice!.

[shortypingi]

lovelovelovelovelove her!

[Red57170]

Paula Sounds like she's f***n drunk,aye?

[Weillfanatic]

With proper training, she could be a fine coloratura soprano!

[MrDarknesslover]

@Weillfanatic you are right!

[bonniebunnyhun]

dang shes good!!!

[HplarsDecoded]

i didn't know that she can hit that high...i was on my head phones in max volume

[DEHC19]

Wow.

Very very good.

[xGermanLondonBridge]

AMAZING!!!!!



[harajukuphantom]

AMAZING

[THEMBGWIZARD]

they called her thru 

[Mazoodle]

Why does Paula always sound so high?

[Skelros]

1:35 drunk as fuck xP

[wicaco]

Most memorable Idol audition ever.

[laneylowry]

you ARE AWESOME WITH THAT SONG!

[ManuFortiMcCoy]

I actually teared up a lil when i saw this on it's original airdate.

[DataCollaborate]

she is the only one, that has interested me ..(as Talent)

[XoRAWRRoX]

Wow! She hit that really high note. I'm amazed.

[DonVito910]

Very nice!!!

[faboze]

omg awesome

[julie101rox]

[wubawubas]

[julie101rox]

[wubawubas]

@julie101rox YOU stop messaging me. Please leave ME alone since you were the one who felt the need to respond and disrespect my opinion. I'm done talking to Youtube retards, thanks.

[julie101rox]

[tzoft87]

Pure talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fresh0razoR]

she was the best singer ever

[DARKmirror70]

She has and amazing voice !

[alikitiki]

OMG i keep repeating when she is in the high note and randy is just shock!

[MadMaxxieXD]

I was like GODDAMN WHISTLE REGISTER!!! WERRK BITCH!!! *throws a chair from excitement* I love her for this!

[datboywitdemvocals06]

@MadMaxxieXD LOOOL d^_^b

[mizzlalababy]

@MadMaxxieXD

LOL! I love your comment, I know this is super old, but I'm just surfin and saw this and then saw ur comment. I actually lol'ed. thanks for the laugh.

[aemarynz]

I love her!!!!!

[xPenelopeRenesmeex]

Exact reason why we shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

[PeacefulParadox]

she should have done a song with ll cool j

[PeacefulParadox]

that shit will make you tear up

[PRsweetness]

the note at 1"23 AMAZING i love high notes one of  the reasons im mariah careys megafan!

[SorrowfulLesson]

1. She's amazing, but not a pop star- she's an opera star.

2. Simon referred to her as Sara Brightman- the person whom Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote a lot of his songs for personally (he is also the original writer of Phantom Of The Opera- FYI).

I love her! Always have. SO glad she's making her own music now.<3

[gbbg43]

I want to compliment her in person! oMG she is amazing! I am a trained singer and she has AMAZING technique for musical theater. :DDDDD

[moneyjr1122]

she need to be hooked up with Broadway now!!!

[youregonnagofarkidd]

i HATE the vibrato... 

[twilightdweller1]

I'd KILL to have that voice!

[lotopauanka]

why the goy from british idol is here in american??

[lotopauanka]

and it was rather british idol or... ?

[lotopauanka]

this song doesnt belong to nightwish

[UndercoverCracker]

Wow that is high! 

[HelpMeiAmRetarded]

1:34 Paula sounds so sarcastic xD she's like "man gtfo my stage"

[MrWinestyle]

SHE SHOULD BE OPERA SINGER!THIS IS GREAT

[Yukisan5]

I think Paula was a little tipsy

[DataCollaborate]

Shes needed on the BROADWAY!!!

[caprice6]

Brianna Davies reminds me of Tiny Tim in the dress, hair, makeup.

[hbomb2704]

her voice is amazzzzzing!

[NPC919]

WTF RANGE O-O

[supereend666]

omg that hairxDwhahahahaha

but she is amazing

[ImmahDinoRawr]

I love Bree(: Glad she's one of my sisters friends :3

She is super nice^^

[DontJudgexMe]

@ImmahDinoRawr tell her i say hi and that she has got a big fan from london! i really love her hair!

[ImmahDinoRawr]

@DontJudgexMe Ok will do,next time I see her I will(:

Its cotton candy pink and blonde now. Haha. It still looks amazing^^

[michael48joey]

for all those tarja and nightwish Blind fans: i wish i could some day hear tarja singing this song without the guitars, and drums..in a musical without microphone. tarja sings the song very very different from the real phantom of the opera, cristine voice needs to be innocent and desperate voice at the end, that's how the musical was written. tarja voice is great for metal she is a human and all those fans make her look as a goddess

[emil9412]

@michael48joey i'm a great fan of Tarja but i agree with u... first of all she's not a real operasinger, but i do really love their version of "The phantom of the opera" it's awesome. I've never though understood that "godess" thing, i mean she got an awesome voice but still i think it's a little to much to constantly calling her for a godess etc. etc.

[michellekwan483]

love phantom, love her voice

[showersinger34]

excuse me? ROCK??? paula, how do you know she can do rock? you don't! what you DO know is that this girl has an incredible classical voice.

[ElisabettaVS]

to ask whether she studied opera... OF COURSE NOT! Nice voice... but NOT opera.

[peacencarrots]

i love how her style is all scary, but she talks and acts like a cool, normal girl LOL

[peacencarrots]

someone should chipmunk this.

[tootsieroll246]

paula seems like shes drunk here xD

[janeandbellarock6789]

Finally , Someone with some sense

[icarusST]

she is great

[Sevenyathefirst]

Wow....this girl has got some SERIOUS talent. I am immensely impressed.

She reminds me a tiny bit of Tarja.

[Sevenyathefirst]

Wow....this girl has got some SERIOUS talent. I am immensely impressed.

[carlosxtinajlo]

si me gusto!!!! JAJJAJAJ BUT TARJA!! IS UNIQUE!! jajajjaja

[barakalko]

wow fantastic

[ClairiLucille]

hahahahahahah paula...

[Fleursdelily]

I need to see more of her... such talent! <3

[LucidDream]

Paula was so wrong about her being able to adapt to something like rock...she would be a hell of an opera singer though or doing musicals...They should at least recommend her to a great company because she's got that kind of voice.

[phantasma616]

its only a little rough, but i'm assuming that's nerves, she's got such a lovely classical (not operatic) voice but i could see this crossing into several genres.

[reivenesque]

@phantasma616 Well Simon generally acts quite decent to people who don't walk in acting like douche bags.

[RealDefentertainment]

this show is set up, Why?

if the people are going to be shit 1st thing Simon says before they sing is usually negative and yet he was nice to her from the start

[TheCamoTurtle]

shes great :D she should be famous already D:

[goldengreaser]

Great voice but a little less vibratto would go along way. I think she should be on America's Got Talent. More people would appreciate her. Sadly too many young people do not appreciate a classic voice like hers.

[michellekwan483]

@goldengreaser so true

[DelilahAmelia]

@goldengreaser I DO!! SHE IS THE BEST!!

[MythicalPrincess]

@goldengreaser on the vibratto comment that is what they said about Dolly Parton and look where she is with her vibratto voice

[Stevo8844]

@goldengreaser That is not a classical voice. That is a screechy voice... Her technique is AWFUL!

[Cheezluvr12]

She is singing it too high, but other than that she was great. :) Did she end up making it?

[Skelros]

1:36 uhav suchanamezing instrumnt.. *passout*

[mrhydeisgod]

I liked it until Simon compared her to Sarah Brightman...and all she did was stand there and nod her head. I would have shit my pants if someone like Simon Cowell compared me Sarah Brightman...ffs, Brightman is one of the greatest vocalists EVER.

[blackhoumor]

@mrhydeisgod sarah brightman is a shit of a singer,. sarah brightman is certainly NOT the best singer ever. she is terrivle

[mrhydeisgod]

@blackhoumor c'mon man she's definately not THAT bad. I'll admit I may have embellished a bit cuz I was high on Oxys when i wrote that, but I will say that hands down she is the best to tackle Phantom. I will also say that Michael Crawford does, BY FAR, the BEST Phantom, I don't give a flying donkey shit what ANYONE says.

[majomanak]

@blackhoumor yeaz... dead right....

[drascheller]

Thet's not an opera voice.

[ckm1003]

holy shit! wth???? why isnt she already famous??? that was amazing! 

[GoddessOfButterflies]

Bree was in The Wizard of Oz with me when she was a senior in high school at a community theatre. She was Dorothy.

[ZacherySteels4U]

@GoddessOfButterflies i think i saw that

[KimchiSmile2]

Paula is stupid.

[dano833]

paula is hammerd. looks like shes ready to pass out!!!

[raiinbowjunkiie]

This girl is wasting her time on American Idol. She has an incredible voice and should be trying out for Broadway musicals, which is where the real vocal talent lies. Seriously, only the people with the best voices can be on Broadway, and she has what it takes. It's such a shame that she isn't going into Broadway because she's EPIC.

[milfermon21]

I think is sad to see that judges always look for POP singers and not metal singers, c´mon lets give metal a chance fucking assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[PRsweetness]

i remeber this im 17 now and back then this blew me away i LOVED her

[edeyale]

woooooow!!! y ella no estudia canto lirico!! imaginen que entrenara esa voz..seria asombrosa

[nickyyy88]

shes actually singing 2 high...

[halulu91]

dude that chick was so wasted

[LizSmiles1]

She should totally go for Broadway

[TheMarkNessMonster]

Tears...she brings me to tears. Just perfect

[TheMarkNessMonster]

Tears...just tears.  So perfect.

[TwitterBug26]

I'm sorry, the only thing I could think about through this audition is where the HELL did Paula get those freakin amazing shoes? I am completely jealous.  PS. I love this girl, AND the way she dresses.

[TinyAshley95]

I even clapped for her when I heard she made it!! xD

I'm SO Proud of her, I was NERVOUS, I didn't know if an opera-toned singer

could make it in, but I'm just SOOOOOO Impressed :)

[MaKlob8807]

did she win??? her voice can shatter glass

[jessicake1993]

Dear Paula. From what you said, that implies that Luciano Pavarotti could blast out Nickelback.

Uhh...

[DropDeadGxOfficial]

wow, shes amazinggg.:D.

[Neuroneos]

O M G

[lmj2k]

Holy shit, it's Rainbow Brightman!

[neverending9000]

paula was drunk and high.

[BondBritney]

My God! that was a VERY HIGH NOTE! She did it pretty well!

[quiquegrb8000]

I LOVE HER!!!! (L)

[gelarxable]

why do they say yes????she has a high huge voice...but she does'nt fit to american idol...

[trackstar195]

This is quite possibly one of the most delightfully bizarre auditions I've seen on the show.

[doubleDdog09]

if randy liked her then why did he cover his ears while she was singing?

[mohabitaliban1]

givs me goosebumps greatly powerfull!

[MetroidPhsyco]

YAY SHE MADE IT!!!!!

[Fadetowhite88]

Goosebumps, all I have to say!

[staticserenity]

Her vibrato kinda sucks

[SeraphimIllusion]

This girl is Nightwish material.

[lanthiode09]

OKAY is Paula drunk here or is she just on meth????

[twiwonder]

that lady in the green shirt sounds like she's on drugs

[twiwonder]

great!

[Asperuaca]

Paula is so drunk!!!

Honestly, with a little clothing help, she would do top 10. No doubt. But then again, Hollywood w
