  • Needs to work on his runs, but he's got soul! Who knew!!

  • Wonder what he's doing now and whether he's rediscovered this side of himself...

  • Absolutely beautiful voice. Congratulations on such a great concert everyone! That young man can really kick it boy!

  • he is adorable

  • 2nd michael jackson

  • ha i was just thinking that

  • that's awesome!!!!

  • oh yeahh.

    I saw this a year ago and came back. lol. its addicting..

    it just makes me smile..

    he's angelic...

  • This is really good,but personally I think every song he sang was good. Whoever mixed the music,didn't always adjust it to Sanjaya's voice,that is why he sounds great every time there is no background music. Check it,it is every time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is a really good performance by Sanjaya! when i saw his audition on american idol, i thought he was actually pretty good, but i think as the show went on, other things were focus on and about him, the song choices that he choose, some were good, and some werent. Its to bad, i think that if he had put as much heart and soul in the songs he choose on idol, as hes done here, the outcome would have definitely been different for him.

  • If you notice, both him and another two people are swinging. Maybe they were taught in their choir to sway for certain songs. And he had no choice but to do so. xD This is a beautiful song. Good job Young Sanjaya!

  • perhaps he´s nervous?

  • the boy sings good but he swings from side to side like he has no rhythm at all!!!

  • Think Stevie Wonder...

  • yes'sa! laaaaaawd! fantastic rendition... thanks for sharing!

  • This video is proof that Sanjaya is a talented singer, no matter what other people say

  • people say sanjaya isnt any good, but to me he is amazing.

    this is pure talent.

  • every week I was there voting for you kid, Good luck in the future, I'm looking forward to buying your first CD.

  • Aw, this vid is just stunning. Beautiful work, Sanjaya, and thanks to whoever filmed this and put it up. Amazing.

  • Love this! Such a great performance. You can tell there's just something special about him, then and now.

  • Sweet voice and beautiful spirit. The winning combination!

  • this is AMAZING!!!! SANJAYA HAS TALENT...POINT BLANK!

  • gosh i just love him so much!! sanjaya has one of the best voices i've heard in a loooooong time!!!

  • Sanjaya is an awesome singer and has a positive spirit. People that can hate someone like him are the same ones that kick puppies.

  • His talent is breathtaking :) Go Sanjaya!!!

  • Love this performance! yes, glimpse of a much more innocent Sanjaya, before, well, everything! Forgot his earlier shyness and decided to just DO it. What his heart told him to. Just a boy, his Creator and his inner determination to step forth to the plate and deliver. And delivering he did! Keep on doing your thing Sanjaya. Love you! xxx Lou

  • Woooow! Sanjaya, you're just great. Really, really great!

    God Bless you!

  • i love how he went back and clapped after he was done! so cute!

  • lol i kno

  • still amazingggggggggg.

    stilll sexxxyyyyyyy ass helll!!!!!!!!

  • hes SEXY?

  • yehh damn straight he is.

  • he sounds better then he did on idol...

  • i heard dat when he got on idol he got worse

  • the boy with the skill and voice this season- his tone was much better to listen to when he was younger- so maybe it's more important that sanjaya take care of his voice than that he win american idol or something- he may have gotten more skillful with his voice by now but there is a sacrifice involved- he should just let his knowledge and voice peak together to give the best that he can possibly give in his life, when the right time comes for that giving

  • A beautiful pure tone, and a beautiful soul, still today, despite all the hatred that people have spewed at him for no good reason other than the fact that they feel miserable inside themselves and want company.

  • He's just a little whiny and weak. But his voice is decent. American Idol just looks for flashy crap, and the only way he could keep up was if he became a gimmick.

    And that's the story of Sanjaya. A pretty good singer who realized there was only one way to get far on the show if you have a simple and sweet voice.

  • I guess I can kind of see where you're coming from, in that Sanjaya began to find himself in a "no win" situation; no matter what he did, the judges were going to bash him. So finally he just threw all caution to the wind and "went with it." That's what made him a celebrity. But when I go back to clips like this, I see that pure soul, that sweet innocent kid who just loved to sing because it brought him joy. I hope he never loses that, or that at least it's still there inside him deep down.

  • AHHH! love it! aww he sticks his head out alot!!

  • Just amazing. Sanjaya can sing anything with that gorgeous voice of his. I can't wait for his album!!

  • AI gives them a list of the songs that they can sing, sad to know that the show is rigged

  • You haven't listened to this clip at all if you think that.

  • so, I'm going to guess that the only reason you said that is because you are not a fan of him. I never liked him but the guy can sing, and if you can't hear it then you must be extremely deaf!

  • I LOVE SANJAYA<3 AND ALWAYS WILL <3

  • His voice is so beautiful. He has so much talent and poise for someone so young :)

  • wow

  • It's absolutely amazing. There's a very good

    feeling

  • Love this kid, much success in his future. Beautiful voice

  • great...why wasnt he this good on the show????

  • It doesn't sound like you even bothered listening to this clip. Guess you kept the sound on mute and just surfed over here long enough to spew the same ol rehashed garbage. He may not have always been the best on AI, but this performance is absolutely the voice of a sweet angel. And it's not just me. Just look at all the comments on this front page alone. You are in a very very very small minority here.

  • IF only he sang like this on the showw . . . *sigh*

  • wow that was...unexpected

    i did like how he clapped for himself at the end of it too!! haha

  • I was rooting fo him in american idol to bad he didnt make it

  • LOVE SANJAYA!!!!

  • he's a really good singer, he has soul in his voice! respect!

  • Man, this was really good!! He might have even had a chance if he just would have sang like this on AI. Why, Sanjaya, why?!

  • Sanjaya is a star! What a beautiful voice :)

  • yeah he didnt sing like this on american idol

  • Sanjaya is a delight to watch.

  • every week I was there voting for you kid, Good luck in the future, I'm looking forward to buying your first CD.

  • So modest.........no need...

    This is what singing is all about.....MAGIC

    ALL THE BEST WITH THE FUTURE........hope to see you in record stores soon.....PROPS!!!

  • He really got the voice,a soul voice,it's quit unique actually,too bad it didn't work out on AI,but undoubtedly Sanjaya can sing and has a lot of potential,u can feel it from this wonderful performance.

  • it rocks

  • Now why couldn't Sanjaya do this in the competition. He could of won, if he sounded like that all the way through. I'm serious. American Idol made him look bad, but behind all of that, he is talented, just did not choose the "right" songs on American Idol, and could really hurt you in the competition.

  • Just shows you what a person with talent can do when he's not being shredded on a "reality" show. The reality is that Sanjaya is a beautiful person with a beautiful soulful voice. It comes across loud and clear here.

  • Sanjaya is an amazing singer.

  • His voice is so smooth and soulful!

  • LOL DATS DA AMERICAN IDOL SINGER

  • Would make a great blues singer.

  • hes better here than american idol

  • Wow, I didn't realize he had so much soul in his voice. They make fun of him so much on Americna Idol... I'm shocked actually. What a beautiful sound.

  • yea i loved it when he sung something to talk about on AI. if he always sounded that nice he would be really good!

  • Sanjaya is such a precious soul. He has so much to give. I love this song. He sounds like an angel.

  • I love this video!! Sanjaya is AMAZING!!!!!!!! :D

  • Love Sanjaya. <3

  • omg. i love sanjaya. he is one of the reasons why i want to sing.

  • hes better at this than at American Idol

  • there are lots of people who are great singers as well, and i don't mean pop singers...

  • Sanjaya is so AMAZING! <333

  • AMAZING !!!

  • Beautiful song; beautiful performance! I hope he puts a gospel song on his album; he really does well with this genre. Has anyone heard his Waiting On The Lord?

  • I did a search, can't find it, I would love to hear Sanjaya singing Waiting on the Lord.

  • He posted it on his Myspace page. It was only up for a brief time, and then he took it off. Not sure why. It was really nice.

  • Omg! I love Sanjaya so much! He is so cute and has an amazing voice!

  • Wow, He's an awesome singer.

  • I didn't like him on American Idol, but I think he's very precious here <3

    He needs to keep his chin down though--that's like, the second rule of singing since you're closing up your throat by tilting it up.

  • actually pretty good

  • I think he did better here than on american idol!!!!!!!!!

  • Love this song And he can be my chariot-

  • Don't ever compare Sanjaya to Steve Wonder.

  • I can compare him to whomever I want, jack ass! and in my opinion he's sounds like Stevie Wonder! So stuff that in your crack pipe why don't ya!

  • You sound really ignorant. By the way, did you actually listen to Sanjaya's rendition of "Knocks Me Off My Feet?" He butchered it. If you like Sanjaya, fine, but to compare him to Stevie, when Sanjaya couldn't be compared to Omarion is just nuts.

  • the only ignorant one is YOU! May GOD bless you, (somebody better!)

    Ignorance is bliss...... Maybe that's why god made you.

  • You still don't get do you. All I said was don't compare Sanjaya to Stevie, and you call me a jackass? Whatever man, have fun with your man-crush, I'm done with you.

  • YEEEESSS COME THROUGH!!!.. HE DID IT!.. I luv it now than I did on american idol! lol

  • He sounds alright

  • wonderful rendition.Soul is not about your skin color, but connecting to the Creator with your own personal G D given talent.

  • That was fabulous.

  • he's dancing in the front

  • i know he's not amazing, but he was okay

  • I love you Sanjaya=)

  • this is very very very good!!!...this is more his voice....i thought him and his sister sang very good when they tried out for american idol...but once they got into hollywood...it went down...if you 2 sing more of this kind of music...you will be AWESOME!!!

  • ...Your voice is fantastic...

    ...about racist comments: forgive them, they're just stupid...

  • I love your voice, Sanjaya! Don't listen to all the racist redneck haters out there!

  • i just have to say that just because your racist doesn't mean your a redneck. I happen to know a lot of rednecks that are not racist. but back to the matter at hand I think Sanjaya did a wonderful job on this!

  • wow

  • Look at my cool videos

  • He has a beautiful voice, nice tone:)

  • its interesting his parents stopped before he got implants.

  • wow- ive neva seen american idol- and this is sooooooooo crazy good-it makes me feel soooo plain

  • i still don't get why he sounds good before all the american idol songs (he was pretty good at the audition and this..this isn't bad either) weird huh?

  • Not really. His confidence was clearly affected by the constant harsh criticism by the judges and the controversy that followed (VFTW/Howard Stern) w/ the media calling him "tone-deaf". This was a 17 yr old high school kid who was treated with plain cruelty. His crying at the end was a release of the pain he was subjected to and a relief that it was all finally going to end. It was heart-wrenching to see the kid cry. Thank goodness Lakisha was there like a mother to hold him.

  • hey sanjaya, you are an inspiration. No matter how much the judges and rotten people in this world put you down...you stay positive and smile throughout it all. I like this song.

  • hes god awful

  • dont hate cus you wasnt on american idol i bet he sings way better than you

  • lmao

  • He ABSOLUTELY is not, and certainly not here!

  • was he tryna do this from fighting temptations?

  • Absolutely sweet and so beautiful is Sanjaya himself and his voice! Beautiful! and what soul! Sing it my man ;)

  • again the best singer!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sweet....sweet....sweet voice of Sanjaya Malakar

  • Sanjaya, what a voice like an angel! Please record a gospel song please!

  • Sing it Sanj! Great voice and what soul...keep your sweet heart and don't let the haters bring you down and there is nothing you can not do. Yeah, Sanjaya!

  • OMG I LOVE THIS!!! I listen too it all the time. His voice is soothing and peacful. I love this kid!

  • same!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow! He sounded better BEFORE AI!!! He didn't whisper so much.

  • thats because he didnt have the pressure of being judged by the three of them and THE WHOLE COUNTRY!!!

  • but he still is amazingly ....like perfect

  • true....

  • well he sux

  • see when when u sing THAT DEMON music lol ....GOD dont like that !! he need to sang for the LAWD !! thats right !!

  • Kid's got alot talent, always thought that he was vocally underrated.

  • Man!! can you believe it? he SURE has talent!! before AMerican Idol.. I know he has it, but he his sister sabotaged him coz she didn't get it.. .JOKE!! h aha

  • He said that he is shy, he probably did really good here because its people he knows!On American Idol he was singing in front of millions of people and everyone was making fun of him! Thats why! If people werent making fun of him then he probably wouldve done AWSOMELY! I LOVE U SANJAYA!

  • whoa he sure did change. he looks like a good person in this choir.

  • I think he was better when he was younger than he did in Idol

  • Why does he sound good here but sounded absolutely horrible on Idol?

    Eh, maybe it was just cause compared to Melinda and Jordin he did suck.

  • i didnt really like him. but this isnt terrible. not saying its really good but its not bad.

  • hes i-ite....

  • I love SANJAYA!

  • where did u get this video?

  • He is trying to sound too much like beyonce on 0:27 from '' The fighting Temptations''

  • it's just a GREAT video

    the best on youtube.

  • Sanjaya is an untalented idiot, he never should have made it into the Top 24

  • He ROCKS!!!

  • I think this is his best song on you tube...

  • He sounds great!

  • PURRRRRRFECT :D

  • Sanjaya she can singing it boy!!

    Lovely voice...and yes he can sing!!!

  • YEAH RIGHT !!!

  • I've always said Sanjaya could sing, just not in the American Idol way. But he's singing the stupid Beyonce version.

  • Oh my god, he's soooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much better than in Idol! And, he was really good in Idol, too. I know not many people agree, but... I thought he sang reallllllly good in Idol, especially Waiting on the World to Change, Bathwater, and Besame Mucho. But, yeah... THIS (AND EVERYTHING ELSE HE DOES) IS AMAZING!

  • How can anyone not love this voice?

  • Exactly. It's mind-boggling... I just don't get it.

    A beautiful voice from a beautiful soul. I guess some people just operate on different wavelengths and some people are just not evolved to receive the higher registers. (The Sanjaya Universe not for everyone???)

  • he has a mustache =] but pretty good!

  • Wow! This is really good. Really shows how good his voice is.
