[Saberene]

[piakatharina1]

thumbs up if you're watching it in 1999

[piakatharina1]

[rogermun]

Beautiful voice! So much feelings!

[TheMixedCoffee]

Heyeyeyeyeyey

[caissiexx]

[spanky37]

i agree with evline and beautiful 

[EvelinG666]

0:14 I think she looks like Hilary Duff a little bit.. :))

[romanticspirit]

diana plays a star role on young and the restless now!! GREAT singer & Actress!

[sfphilboy]

This was the best A.I. season. This was the season that featured not only Diana, but Jennifer Hudson and Latoya London. Ironically, Fantasia, the one I like the least, was the winner.

[PatrickToanHo]

She's beautiful and had very nice voice!!!

[EzekielLk]

Penny from Hairspray got some pipes ;)

[ildoformanzo]

I still watch this in 2012 >3

[madeladu]

My God, nothing in commond with Angelina on Y&R! Love here in that role!

[hamza500000]

thumbs up if you watch this in 2012 :)

[078Jakey]

forget fantasia DIANA should have won

[808notsogreat]

This is so much better than I remember it being 7 years ago and I remember it being so very good. Not to sound cliche, but I strongly feel that she was cheated out of the competition. Oh well.

[EmmerFan]

She is fab on Y&R now

[Brot2UByJT]

She was 16 here? O_O

[rikiesanders60]

sweet voice love it awsoem

[vivianubao]

I'm a fan of AI but I am not aware of this episode, She's sooooo good. I just watch it now

[onedirectionlove1996]

back when being in the american idol finals actually meant something to the music business.

[macuser5555]

WOW!!!! BRAVO!!! She sings on the Young and the Restless now.

[kadyyyxoxo]

I've never seen this performance on Idol...but this has to be one of the best. LOVEEE IT.

[emo65170]

Amazing!

[misschristine3451]

chills.

[CastellaMusic]

OMFFFFFFFFG!!!!!!

[upfrontbear74]

Ohhh my god, she had me in tears, talk about one hell of a voice.

[doggydave69]

its good to knw that this performance hasnt been forgotten about - im from Ireland and saw this first when i was like 14, to this day still remains one of the best vocals ever on AI. hope she's doing well for herself coz she has some voice :D

[Endocrine1]

FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow

[BritneyDavis37]

its like her voice was made for this song!

[1234anima]

I just love her on her age and she is definitely the youngest finale ever in American Idol!

[ParadoxicalSymphony]

@1234anima Jordan Sparks won at age 16 I believe. I could be wrong.

[celestiansamurai]

DAM that girl can sing.... I miss her singing! and @16, amazing does no justice

[unjaded2]

people sometimes forget she was only 16 when on AI . so poised and that voice , damn gurl !

[tijgervisuals]

damn. goosebumps!

[DEVASTATOR478]

incredible voice !!!

[LiPSinginforU]

W0W!

[Zelinna12]

OMG that last note was maybe the best ever on AI! wow lol

[mssummerrose1]

like this one much better than the "original" !!!

[DogsRAwesome1313]

still think she should of won. !!! love you girl:)

[bensterk]

That final note left me speechless.

[jamesq116]

Her sound is beautiful

and touching too

[VictorJv2011]

wow

[weasdy]

Epic

[cecilio1990]

American idol is no longer what it use to be..

[chihuahua939]

im here because of the fairly odd parents lol

[traumtanztrapez]

she looks like Hilary Duff in her Lizzie McGuire times

[jippison]

have to agree with the 2nd spot. she is just amazing

[Zelinna12]

LMAO she lost too, AI was brilliant for having the best singer finish 2nd.

[jchamassi]

whow( x 100)......i'm so ouf... great voice

[medsf95]

thumbs up if you watch this in 2011 :)

[TheAnimateor]

@medsf95 not anymore

[BackMountainBird]

@medsf95 thumbs up if you watch this in 2012

[XOXO1490]

@medsf95 i'm watching it in 2012!

[pinoyinexile]

how the hell did fantasia "daisy duck" barino win???? fantasia sounds like a crackpot nigga. diana sounds like a goddess singing....

[jASPERTALISO]

@pinoyinexile You had to resort to racist comments? There's a way to get your opinion across without being offensive. Surely you're mature enough to know that.

[mrrogue72]

@pinoyinexile Daisy Duck LOLholy shit

[se7ensnakes]

WOW WOW WOW THREEE WOWS.......WHAT A TOTALLY AMAZING VOICE. Even better than manchester.

[mal211129]

what a voice

[ukrainechick1]

omg love this song

[ShawnMyersMusic]

She messed this up on the finale

if she wouldve sung it this way in the finale she could have won....cause she only lost by 3% of the votes

[PattiwhackPics]

She has no idea what this song is about... tell the story, girl, don't just hit the notes.

[jackykwan11234]

so much better than her top 2 version

[955pokerface]

younger voices like her's are more comfortable singing higher notes,Kelly Clarkson was the same way,her voice sounded shaky and pitchy while singing lower.

and HOLY SHIT that note at the end!

[955pokerface]

younger voices like her's are more comfortable singing higher notes,Kelly Clarkson was the same way,her voice sounded shaky and pitchy while singing lower.

[motley120]

Diana is amazing.

[RicASpur]

its an ok preformance, but come on, gooesbumps, you got to to kidding.

[kyo1223]

She deserve much more~ more view on this video pls

[gleasontv]

I am still in love with this performance! Diana is such an amazing singer.

[meganjivers]

i still think she shouldve won that season...fantasia is better off singing in the subway stations

[chris9531]

@meganjivers I agree!

[greenpokerchip]

yes this was the last best performance in idol. after this, i dont know what happened, it seemed like she was pressured so much to be in the same league with fantasia...but she's good. this performance is so memorable for me..

[JeriAnne4194]

goosebumps....INCREDIBLE

[yamahaanton]

that girl is freakin HOT!!! :D she sings loke a god to :D

[burntrubber11]

nice tits

[burntrubber11]

nice ass

[carrieunderwood5223]

OMFG this is the first time ive ever heard of this girl and hear her sing, SHE SHOULD HAVE WON, DOES SHE HAVE A RECORD DEAL?

[samg12316]

@carrieunderwood5223 yea she had a couple number ones in 2004. shes on broadway now. She just finished being the main in Hair last year

[samg12316]

WAIT SHE WAS FUCKING 16 WHEN SHE SANG THIS?!?!?! THATS INSANE! I thought she was like 28!!!

[samg12316]

shes on broadway. wheres fantasia. yea. nowhere. WOOOO!

[impactblazers04]

wow...the last note was 13 seconds....

[chiopeefillin]

effortless

[samg12316]

one of the best ive ever heard and i didnt even watch this season. her reprise was so much worse though..

[marvelfigures3]

best idol preformance ever what i just saw cannot be explained in words

[MelanieCBH]

she is 16. 16. you know how hard this is, the cameras, the light, the public, the judges..... just remember that when you're all hatin'

[daddy10]

is it me or did Simon didnt really like her at all back in 2004? even in the beginning of the video he seemed miserable having to be there and listen to her sing. What a loser.

[ab88Hype]

@daddy10

Actually he thought she was going to win, which is why he seemed bummed when she botched her final performance.

[Matty3Mite3]

15 second note , damnn

[arrival35]

Possibly the best performance by anyone on this show ever!

[VAFury]

Probably still my all time favorite performance on Idol...

[MsSparklesNGlitter]

she whould blow off the stage Pia Toscano...hands down

[gooboo1000]

WOW. AS DYNAMIC AS CELINE IS!!!!

[hattiehedgehog]

i think this was a bit shouty

[antyfreeman2008]

Fantasia Barrio is my ALL-TIME favorite but I have to give Diana MAD props on this! This was beatufiul!

[katkal3]

ACK ACK!



[bxbombers213]

she should have won. shes amazing. i hated fantasia and still dont see the fascination about her

[Stingoscar1987]

she should be the real hanna montanna

[selujlyrad04]

Very broadway, but girl's got some pipes on her. That last note was great.

[elminiawi]

wow

[jt89707]

AHHHHMAZING!!!! so clean :)

[MrLuigiable]

That last note was so clean and beautiful.

[delkosbabe]

season 2 and 3 completley rigged.

[livelovemusic1694]

@delkosbabe and whichever season kris allen beat adam lambert.

[lovegxx]

very sharp

[jeanomics]

7 years later, and I still don't get the outfit! Love Diana though!

[Toastyrokr]

favorite performance in american idol EV@R...I think this was actually the last season i watched...I still listen to her version of this song it's so good.

[eileenluvsdod]

@Toastyrokr how come

[Toastyrokr]

@eileenluvsdod it's boring to me now and the ppl never do anything after the show they flop hard

[boidemklotz]

@Toastyrokr

Daughtry ring a bell? How about Carrie....... and did I mention Kelly C?

[Toastyrokr]

@boidemklotz The last one to do anything substantial was Carrie...look @ the most recent Idols...Lee Dewyze, Kris Allen, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks (not as much but still applicable) have all had flop careers thus far

[kanzaki88]

my jaws literally dropped when i heard diana sing this song during the show. it was one of the most memorable performances in idol history.

[MrChristopheFrance]

I LOVE IT..!!!

[SexyLiLLeilaniMya]

She's very Broadway!

[MrEyi]

I just saw her in the musical '9 to 5' this past weekend playing Dolly Parton's role as Doralee Rhodes. She was great. Not that little 16 year-old anymore.

[newstart18]

This girl could handle and effortlessly hold (and hold them perfectly) big, long notes as well or better than any contestant ever on this show. 

[juliuswizard]

@newstart18 WHAT????

[o0ber]

@Blingblong20 She's been doing a lot of musical theater. I think she's about to start the 9 to 5 musical tour, and was also in Hair on Broadway a few months ago.

[cmh281288]

Holy Camel Toe Batman

[badata69]

now tell me this girl don't have the pipes!!!! please!!!!!

[GREATANDFABULOUS]

As Paula said, 'this was flawless'! What a fantastic performance, for sure one of the Top 10 in all Idol seasons... Great, just great!

[TheMegrob25]

you are fantastic!!"

[heartsongsKat]

That girl has some PIPES. I remember this episode. I absolutely adored her. She was so young with such raw talent. Amazing.

[BStunner316]

umm...she should have one over some untalented wannabe who made a sex tape to break up a marriage (for fame...since her reality show and album flopped), and then tried to kill herself for even more attention...shameful America...

[Elspanyo1]

OMG!!!!  Awesome!!!

[WowRaider18]

Really wondeful job and at the end she did amazing holding that last note as long and loud as she did you rock diana!!!

[austiiiiin]

wut happened to this american idol, i miss it!!! all the new seasons suck!!!!

[MrsKelly1913]

I think you all are sadly mistaking... she sounds ok.. but Fantasia will blow her brick house down..

[5an1ty]

@MrsKelly1913 Yeah, in terms of soul and passion during performances, Fantasia is amazing! But when it comes to vocal range and all those technical stuff, I would have to say Diana is a better singer, but Fantasia is a better performer.

[MrsKelly1913]

@5an1ty That's your opinion.. I'll pick Fantasia over Diana ANY DAY!!!

[MrsKelly1913]

@5an1ty That's your opinion.. I'll pick Fantasia over Diana ANY DAY!!!

[juliuswizard]

@5an1ty HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAA

[ronlover143]

@MrsKelly1913 I think Fantasia sounds like a little kid when she sings. Diana sounds so mature, its fantastic.

[MrsKelly1913]

@ronlover143 If you didn't know what real music sound like WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO!!! lmao.. You are such a character!!

[Julesb2183]

Fantasia could not even attempt to sing as well as Diana. Not now, not then. Fantasia is a mess and has been for a long time.

[NicoleCavallaro]

@MrsKelly1913 mistaking? by thinking that diana is better? i dont think so. its called having an opinion. some people think that dianas better and some people think that fantasias better. it all depends on what other people people think.

[bobotoby]

Fantasia is OK, but I think any of the others should have won over her, Latoya, Jennifer and yes Diana too, it should have been more about the voice and less about the kooky personality.

[jav1182]

WOW....This girl has such a powerful, strong yet clear and beautiful voice. I just heard Fantasia singing and It's horrible. Sounds so scratchy and chalky....more like Macy Gray...lol...I don't know how the hell she won that season but in all honesty listening to Diana singing this song, Diana should had been the winner hands down!

[midnytbottle]

One of my favorite glory notes in Idol... woowwww! Diana is amazing!

where is she now? lol

[stesmaster]

Based on that performance she should have won over Fantasia.

[Jephersin84]

dood if she sang this way in the finals like she did her... GUARANTEED win...... BRILLIANT VOCAL!!!

[sweetlyara]

amazing perfomance.oncore,oncore!!!!!k­eep up the good work diana.great job!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OUantmfan]

fantasia sounded like a duck in my opinion :/

[thisiswan2009]

the main reason why diana didn't won AI was she screwed up on this performance. i mean come one, her this performances vs fantasia Summertime, of course fantasia's summertime won!!!

[2612jim]

fantasia should have not even been in top 5!!! degarmo was head and shoulders above everyone!!! i dont know what happened!!! oh yeah,,,digarmo has a career now,,,fantasia has a book,,,yeah thats what idol is about!!!

[nyynygnyknyr1]

I have never see a 16 year old do anything like this before. Not many people can in the first place.

[YukonBloamie]

I'm no Diana fan, in fact I'm pretty much a hater of Miss Piggy. But I give credit when it's due. When I first heard this, at the time, I was stunned. Kudos.

This is probably the most under rated performance in Idol history, to this day,

[YukonBloamie]

@YukonBloamie

Camel Toe and all

[Sterretje7]

O MY GOD!! Incredible!! And then at the end she goes even higher!! Jezus, she's magnificent!!

[cmc201]

she's good!

[flametorrent96]

ugh i want to here the judges

[xxkmlsmpxx]

wonderful.

[guanbs]

Ryan didnt seem to have aged over the years.

[emorej220]

The best performance EVER on IDOL history.. Diana should have won over Fantasia.. She's got the looks,voice & star quality...

[FEMA1DEATH1CAMPS]

so beutifull

[MephistophelisedHam]

ANY video from past seasons just shows how weak the lineup is this year.

[ashif21]

Diana should have won

[xoitsrachel]

diana degarmo... she was AMAZING. this was one of the best idol performances on idol... besides adam lambert of course haha

[savannahmary]

This is one of my most favorite Idol performances ever, out of all 9 seasons.

[phunkLAMB]

this was probably one of the best performances that season........ definatley top 5 of all american idol time

[bandtmusic]

@phunkLAMB how would you rate it to the next idols,just curious.

[bandtmusic]

@bandtmusic i judge diana performence based on giving it all,and her all being brilliant,my next favourite would be rubin great voice and presence.

[phunkLAMB]

@bandtmusic honestly..... i stoped watchin it right after Jordin Won... everyone after that just tried to do the whole rock thing and it seems thats what they want rock artist....

[geekoftheweek27]

Diana proved that she deserved to be in the finale with this!

[bandtmusic]

absolutely brilliant performence love it.one of my top 3 ever idols.thanks for posting this inspiring video.

[BKGK90]

BKGK90

I remember this was years ago and I was so pissed off that LaToya got voted out the week before but then when Diana sang this she proved she was just as good as Latoya and I think a little bit more down to earth too. Also, I hate when people say that Diana didn't deserve to be there with Fantasia at the end, like Fantasia did! The finale should have been Diana or Latoya or latoya and Jennifer or Diana and Jennifer whatever but Fantasia was sooo over rated.

[janetfan2010]

Dayum!!!!!

[melissawells]

AMAZING!!

[bandtmusic]

have watched american idol from season 1 and have never seen a performence as perfect as this ,just amazing,will allwas stay in my mind.irishman.
