Diana DeGarmo- Turn The Beat Around

[keeza333]

great performance and talent other than whoever is in charge of mixing . lol plus that girl needs to use a mic better , though she has a great voice . music techi's n producers will agree .

[MrClassicDoctorWho]

Turn the ship around

Leia knows where Luke is

Turn it upside down

Take it back to Bespin

[karateguy2]

My favorite performance of hers....She should have won and not fantasia

[snowkea]

i remember this when it was tv, really enjoyed this song from Diana, thought it was the best song sang that night

[CrystalMurphyMusic]

She's awesome. Lots of words in that song, and she moved pretty good to it too.

[adirockboy]

WHY ARE ALL OF U HATERS TALIKING CRAP???....BECOUSE THATS WHAT U DO...DO U KNOW HOW HARD IS TO SING A SONG LIKE THAT...AND SHE SING IT VERY GOOD...IF U THINK U ARE SO GOOD AT COMENTS WELL U SHOULD SING IT...OF COURSE U CANT SING BETER THAN SHE BUT U JUST TALK BUUUUULLLL SHHHHHIIIIIITTT...SHES ONE OF THE BEST ARTISTS THAT EVER WAS ON AMERICAN IDOL...IF SHE WOULD AUDIION NOW SHE WOULD RECIVE A CONTRACT IMEDIATLY....THAT GOOD SHE IS...AND I WOULD BY HER CD IN THE MORNING...

[MICHAELPER62]

@adirockboy LEARN HOW TO SPELL

[adirockboy]

@MICHAELPER62 ARE U OK? O_O..OK I WILL LEARN ..BUT JUST CALM DOWN

[MICHAELPER62]

Diana should have won that year, she was way better than Fantasia....

[newco113]

@MICHAELPER62 Most tone deaf people think this. Don't worry though, unfortunately in America you're not alone ;)

[ashleighjs]

I live in Australia and this season aired over here. Diana was my favourite from the beginning and this is the performance which I still remember the most. She owned it.

[helpAmerica1]

She was the best

[RamieIeMaIubayMusic]

I BET THAT BITCH FANTASIA SHREDDED UP DIANAS DRESS HERE BECAUSE FANTASIA DOESNT KNOW HOW TO READ

[lobogirl]

diana blew everyone out of the water that night

[OUantmfan]

the backup singers are flat as hell. i love diana

[elpelozzz]

She has such a big stage presence and it's very entertaining!!! Also the music sounds so good!!! She had some pitch problems; but not as bad as those from the backup singers (at 0:52 and 1:37 yuck!)... Loved that part at 1:45-1:53! Brilliant!!!

[xxkmlsmpxx]

To each their own, but I like it.

[Elijah4Everr]

I actually liked Carmen Rasmusen's performance from Season 2 better though Diana is a better singer.

[vanagumsabagum]

HER DRESS IS HORRIBLE but i like her breast

[svdorme]

I actually liked it

[OnlyWhenIPee]

Ouch, awful.

[Reubenm7]

wow, she was terrible, take a listen to carmen rasmussen then this, it's like going from good to crap

[aptpupil77]

clearly none of the contestants understood the feeling of this song...only two women could pull this song out flawless Vicky sue robinson and gloria stefan..period.

[cmulwee001]

Wow! Diana's take on the Vicki Sue Robinson classic!

[curlingiron7658]

Loved most of the performance, there were a few moments of slight oversinging. But I still loved it, but damn those backup singers were way out of key. They seemed like they were just kinda droning on and on during the chorus. Check it at 1:36 , that was way off key!!! 9/10 for me.

[parsleysprigs]

i couldn't even hear them for the most part probably a good thing. she looks like she was enjoying herself more than anything

[Linda954]

I totally disagree with the Adam Lambert comment. Diana is an amazing singer. I have never heard her scream and I always want to hear more. Adam does nothing but scream and I press mute every time.

[PoodleLover222]

she sang it better than haley but I think haley's voice fitted the song better, but I LOVE this one too!!!

[peladores72]

james morrison =brenda mau .(broken strings)

[lebradrian]

Definately the performance that gained Diana her core fans!!!

[ashleighjs]

I live in Australia and at that time they showed American Idol on free TV. I followed Diana from day one and that is the performance that always stays in my head

[astrolifter]

Damn..I didn't see that season of Idol, but this chick is incredible! She's like the female version of Adam Lambert in terms of voice power, range and quality.

[MyFinalHeaven18]

u mean the male version os adam?

cus adam is a chick lmfao

[lebradrian]

Fantastic!

[qweruiopnmnmnm]

i didn't think it was that good...

[Darkdiablo6394]

it sounds like a little kid singing but it isnt bad

[ledraggo]

No fault of contestant. Season3 songs are almost the same common set as season1 & season2. Compare to the early years, latter seasons has better categories and songs available e.g. michael jackson, beatles, ....

[USMCdrummer06]

Boring compared to how good the idols are nowadays.

[yerhawt234]

one of her best performancess.(:

[aks477578]

She was really flat in the beginning, but she managed to save it for the most part, though the key change at 1:44 and the trill seemed overkill, but that's just me. I prefer Carmen Rasmusen's performance of this song better, even with her rapid vibrato, but like I said, it's just my opinion. And for the record, she went from a size 10 to a size 4, which is 3 dress sizes if you use the American standard of clothing sizes.

[CheezyDonSenior]

She sucks

[qg6ff]

diana

[qg6ff]

diana

[qg6ff]

diana

[qg6ff]

diana

[serpentboy25]

She looks good in this video but Carmen Rasmusen's is better IMO.

[HotandSpicy95]

ummmm hun yeah it is

[o1onfire1o]

thing is these contestants on the show are often a hundred times a better singer than those already famous ... recording studio is what makes them sound so good

[serpentboy25]

That's not true, Freddy Mercury, Steven Tyler, Grace Slick, and so on and so forth were wayyyyyyy better than anything Idol has ever produced. The best singer to come out of Idol is Clay Aiken, I'll admit he's good.

[qg6ff]

...ok, current artists.

[classrockin]

Anyone who doesn't think this girl is a fantastic versatile singer needs to view her performance of "Think" also on you tube. Aretha would be proud! One of the best covers out there!

[daytripzip]

Diana is a poor man's Mariah Carey. I mean that with great affection so don't give me thumbs downs votes. Not quite as good as singer ... not quite as good looking... more like the super talented girl next door.

[rogerlover98]

Diana DeGarmo is my so for feal cousin her g pa and my grate gp are brothers i even got free tickets to go see her when see was on AI tour in Nebraska

[PEARLJAMANDJCASHROCK]

a bum note here or there..whoopie doodle do. id like to know how many so called professionals get their voices doctored up n their fancy recording studios?

[PEARLJAMANDJCASHROCK]

who gives a shit if shes chubby? do you think andrea bocelli or stevie wonder would give a rats ass? shut the f@ck up.  and fantasia didnt look too trim and fit last season on AI, which sucked btw

[BleedingxSoul88]

oh my...i like her dress xD

[LemonCrush63]

Oh my.....I cringed from 1:44 on....

[chefshout]

Oh boy that's flat. So bad even the backing singers give up the ghost. Listen at 1:35 - 1:38.

[PEARLJAMANDJCASHROCK]

yeah because you were there right and heard how it sounded? the judges were and they thought it was good.

[horsegal012]

ok that's mean she's dropped like 6 dress sizes since idol so you have no room to judge.

[palasluna]

she is really thin now

\

[easye1973]

Again maybe now she is not chubby but if she was not chubby then why would she have needed to drop 6 dress sizes then?

[lovepool2]

She can't have dropped 6 dress sizes. That's not possible.

[djeasye1973]

Carmen's version was 100 times better Chuby Girl DeGarmo does not compare!

[qg6ff]

carmen compared to now's top 6's doesn't even belong in the top 6. so shut the hell up

[crossmyheart1]

okay djeasye1973, be civilized here.

diana degarmo is awesome and if you dont like her, dont click on this and dont be posting rude and not true comments. ur only wasting precious time looking at something YOUDONT EVEN LIKE! oh and shes not chubby (yes chubby not chuby idiot)shes cute and shes really really skinny now. kthanksbyee

[qg6ff]

you didn't send that reply to him lol... it went to my email.. might wanna redo it

[easye1973]

I won't pick on the 10 typos you have so relax. How can my comments not be true I am stating a preference and there is no wrong and right. The fact that you say she is "really really skinny now" means that you agree she was chubby before.

[makeupdiva123]

why are you seeing this vidoe then, stupid then look at carmens vidoes duuuuuuuuh. And by the way SHE IS NOT CHUBBY YOUR VERY RUDE

[easye1973]

I did look at Carmen's that's how I know that one is better. Not being rude just stating what is the truth in my eyes.

[makeupdiva123]

yeah in your ugly eyes. and it is being rude stupid. and you just tought you can comment on her video WOW your very fucking stupid

[highwind44029]

In retrospect, this performance was not that good. Back then though, this was a major breath of fresh air during a night of trainwrecks. It was the worst night of AI3.

[elgrecomx]

agreed 100%. i thought this and her other 1 were so great at the time, but looking at them today..meh. i miss idol's disco night!

[osahju914]

other 1?

[a1x2l3e]

I think everyone would believe that there are some flat notes,and little bit pitchy but its understandable. Diana did a GREAT JOB! This song is not easy to deliver specially to its nature that its upbeat, energertic, and powerful voiceare combination to make this song alive. Onset of the song, THAT WAS SO FUN AND UNPREDICTABLE. I'm so happy that Diana picked this song.

[politoedisawesome]

I thought it was really entertaining, but i thought that the vocals had some very messy parts..

[charray123]

i like diana's version, cuz she put alot of enthusiam in it and energy.

[johncenaloveralldawa]

ur soooo right.... she mgihtnot have had the ebst vocals of all time here.... but her performance amde it soooo much better.... if i was listening to it on the radio i mgiht not like it but she sold it..... she did amazing and i sooo agree no one had a preformance like this with this song

[nb4eva1]

this was the worst season on idol...neither fantasia or diana would have survived in the subsequent seasons. Especially the one that had bo bice and this years season.

[gameshowfreak2007]

i thought Diana's version was the best mainly becuase she showed so much more entussiam than the others, imo:

1. Diana

2. Amanda

3. Carmen

4. Haley

[NYCNewYorkCityBoy]

I have heard better singing of this song! but she is still good

[ledraggo]

done broadway, going country.

[uselessjoe]

She was already miss teen georgia and had been on America's most talented teens before this..no rookie here...now where is she?

[Dallas3212]

shes sooo cute

[PlaidBoy]

oh my god.  that sucks.

[Dancing4Angels]

she does not look sixteen! waay older!

[lovinpeas]

now looking at Diana...

whats Fantasia doing now? where's she?

[PEARLJAMANDJCASHROCK]

shes top 10 of AL history

[tygart4]

i love diana degarmo

[eijisenpai]

Ppl JessicaSyn is realli rude with her comments abt jordin sparks i mean what's her problem men...good performance of diana..

[pianoking149]

i totally agree with you. Whoever's jessicasyn, she is the definition of a hater. I would love to hear her sing, so that we could judge her horrible ass.

[D1G1T4Ldarkness]

diana is such a good singer! i kinda wish she won the title of american idol for season 3. she's definitely an inspiration to those who are young with big dreams

[DrakeandJosh95]

I hope JessicaSyn doesn't come here and ruin Diana's song with horrible comments.

[emdee94]

Is this really Gloria's band? The percussion is off, the horns are weak and the background singer is totally off key. Listen to Ricky Minor's band play the same song for Haley, a weaker singer, and how much better it sounds with accurate percussion, strong horns and perfect background vocals. It really makes the performance.

[dexterboygenius90]

One of the (male) background singer was awfully off key during the whole song... And Diana's voice sounds all wobbly throughout the whole song....yuck

[Aylafanandre]

Honestly, Diana is the only one to do a good job with this song. Miles ahead of the other 3.

[NYChica23]

I don't think Diana was the only one to do a good job with this song. I may be in the minority here, but I thought Amanda also sounded great singing that song

[Aylafanandre]

eh. It was decent, nothing more. Haley's was bad (and I am a fan of hers) and carmen's was god awful.

[christiansylvester]

Diana DeGarmo did the best Carmen and Haley should watch this and start digging a grave for there careers.

[DrakeandJosh95]

In order of them

1. Diana

2. Carmen

3. Haley

[DrakeandJosh95]

oh i just discovered someone else who sang this so

1. Diana DeGarmo

2. Carmen Rasmusen

3. Amanda Avila

4. Haley Scarnato

[NYChica23]

Good list...but I´d switch Carmen and Amanda

[aquafrog]

oh i enjoyed amanda's the most! i thought it suited her voice the best.

[angeleyez101]

wat a dress.

[johnnyandree]

honestly this wasn't her best but who cares she is amazing!

[MoChan93]

Her voice has power, but I feel that Haley did a better job at peforming this song. The standards have definitely risen as seasons have gone by.

[cowgirln1]

shes good at singing but thats not her best song

[biggassets]

Between,Carmen, Haley, and Diana...

It's down to both: Diana and Carmen.

I am a fan of all 3, but Haley has nothing on either preformance. I think the BEST over all, not singing ability-wise, more of entertaining... CARMEN wins.

Singing-ability goes to CARMEN..

And.. Personality and work and use of the stage and the catch of the song.. DIANA..

Notice, Haley received none of these, If you'd asked the judges, the SAME RESULT will come forth.

-Biggassets

[Aylafanandre]

I think singing, personality, and work of the stage ALL go to Diana. Carmen can't really sing

[osahju914]

Carmen grew on me, I like her singing and personality

[osahju914]

AS much as I disliked "Haley the Whore," I must admit, she was an expert about using the stage AND Audience. Diana's and Carmen's were wooden.

Singing - Diana (love her)

Personality - Haley (Hate her)

Carmen was mediocre

[HeyButtahfly]

Diana did this song the best on AI. Simon is such a hypocrite: every season prior to #6, no one under 18 was good. Then 17-yr-old Jordin comes along and even when she messes up, she's the most consistent and the best? I do like Jordin, but Diana has been seriously underrated. I'm so glad she's had success on Broadway. She deserves it after how AI and her former record label ignored her. Cartoon-voice Fantasia winning Season 3 was enough proof to finally convince me AI is rigged.

[Aylafanandre]

Diana did this best

[zaclover343]

I think Haley is better @ this!

[zaclover343]

she sucks!

[osahju914]

i meant 1:50

[osahju914]

love her "r" rolling st 1:52

[johnnyandree]

She is good but this song is not her best performance.

[McPhever224]

i like carmen and haley's version better but I still love Diana

[AshleyTisdale9711]

i like carmen's version better

[christiansylvester]

I hate Amanda's version, I H-A-T-E Haley's version and on a scale of one to ten on Carmens's version its more of a 7 for me.

Diana you get a 100!your the best singer ever to enter AI next to Melinda Doolittle and Kelly Clarkson.

[AshleyTisdale9711]

Melinda and Kelly are the best singers on Idol. I was almost crying when Melinda got off...

[hpsimsoap92]

she's not fat anymore

[BobbyRay28]

She did a better job with this song than anyone else who sang it on idol!! :)

[HMCAMRM]

good vid. she did a gud job

[lylh]

Haley cracked during this song, how was that better?

[88IWishUWereHere88]

if u think shes fat...ur TOTALLY enerxic

[wheelingdude1]

I totally agree with u, she's not fat. just big boned

[cooldude1230]

NO SUCH THING AS BIG BONED

[HMCAMRM]

there is such a thing (cooldude1230)

[davidn11]

no way carmen rasmusen sang it better

[lylh]

goat girl? no way!

[davidn11]

yes way

[davidn11]

shes fat

[thebigL90]

haley was better haha. Haley rocks ok, she's a good singer.

[yolotico91]

that has got to be the fugliest dress i have ever seen in my life. haley sang this way way better.

[AdrianBob89]

ok you yanks are so stupid she cant sing ok she sucks ahhhhhhh

[WhoaaaSarahh]

Haley is so better at singing this song.

[BerkeleyDude2002]

yeah i agree, haley actually sounded better singing this song.

[xXxL4L4xXx]

This is kind of... pagenty

[K6th]

I loved this performance! I thought she was great!

[lobogirl]

i agree! she was the best of the night

[julianvelasquez]

I think that song needs to be banned from American Idol. It's not a singers song. It's most likely best for the recording studio. It's not easy at all to sing it live and it shouldn't even really be attempted. Diana didn't do it well...Haley didn't do it well...

[omgITSLAURAAA]

I totally agree. It got Haley kicked off!

[julianvelasquez]

Sure did. It's not that it's a bad song, it's just not right for the competition.

[gabyvalla]

Never got much praise from Simon, ´cause he saw her as a threat to his precious Fantasia

[bcpuppydawg]

I highly agree with that. I was rooting for Diana that season.

[Aylafanandre]

Man, she did great! She kick any AI6 singers ass!

[ajwalker93]

YESS!! I personally think that she kicked Fantasia's ass too, but America didn't.

[o0ber]

I liked Carmen's voice better for the song but Diana has a lot of good parts and her overall performance is better.

[indieroker]

no. this song NEVER fits anyone. but the thing is she did really good. with it.. esp. for her age. and thats why she deserved to be in top 2. woohoo.

[pistolsaf]

Song doesn't fit her.

[UlanBoiBebotLau]

Uh. Its worse than I remember and watching it right after watching Carmen Rasmusen's...this really sucks! Diana didn't go home and she was always getting more praise than she deserved. This was really bad.

[ledraggo]

As i remember it, it was the opposite. She gets dumped on more often than others even if the performance was better than others.

[lylh]

she never got much praise from Simon.

[Nickyandscamp]

i dont think it suited her, didnt really work

[crissi1]

Idk if it was her best performance, but it was the best one that night.almost as good as Gloria's version.

[LordKnorr]

Amanda Avila from Season 4 of Anerican Idol and Dean geyer from Australian Idol had the best respresentations of Turn the beat around.

[lylh]

ive not seen dean's version. But Diana's version was better than Amandas. However, i dont think ive seen a GREAT version of TTBA on idol yet.

[oranger2525]

that is not an easy song to sing and she kicks it, BIG time!

[lacers101]

i thought she did good

[hedhuntr123]

Carmen Rasmusen did a whole lot better.

[Aylafanandre]

I actually think this is a good performance by her; the only part I felt she slipped on was when she tried to put about 20 words in one sentance at one point.

[aquafrog]

i think her voice doesn't seem well suited to this song...i feel uneasy everytime she says "turn the beat around"

[scrubs023]

love it

[carlos312]

kinda tacky. just ok not her best!
