Melanie Amaro - Listen - X Factor USA (Finals)

[catarinaazevedo13]

better than beyonce

[VinneyDeep]

33 people don't want to listen.

[freakaay70v3]

@VinneyDeep haha

[CiLian9]

every times when I listen her singing, I am still chilled to the bone! you are better than original!

[chocolatemontero]

CHARICE ...perfect for this song....

[BrandNewEyes21]

better than the oryginal.! AMAZING!

[jeffersonorjuela16]

Melanie siempre fue mi favorita a ganar the x factor!!!!!!!!!!

[wakyen100]

watch this listen by Marcelito Po moy,,the best!!!

[hebioniful]

Melanie is the best!!<33

[waytothedawn94]

In terms of what versions are best (in my opinion)

1st- Charice (for the sheer brilliance of such an amazing voice coming out a tiny body)

2nd- Beyonce (Original, and it's Beyonce)

3rd- Melanie

However all versions are bloody amazing and i would listen to all three.

[ezzexbenjjjaah]

Is this the seconds time she sings "Listen" ??? 

[BreakPics]

It's really not worth $5,000,000 ... There is one LISTEN VERSION that is worth $10Million or more and she's so tiny... I forgot her name

[VanAy02]

@BreakPics Charice :) Asian prodigy..

[TheBlack3panther]

wow...I got goosebumps!!

[migzcorner]

awful..im sorry. ive heard other singers sang this song much better than her. im sorry

[nurulshimazamli]

@migzcorner can u give me the link to the video??

[musiclova2471]

@migzcorner Then go listen to them......don't need negative comments here.



[matthewssing]

@migzcorner jealous!!!!

[VanAy02]

@migzcorner True.. :)

[71Bray71]

I like so much this!!! And what???????? Motherfucker!

[71Bray71]

She hits all high notes!!! It's amazing!!!

[LilyJohn96]

This is TOO short !! I want a duet with Beyonce :) !

DUET DUET DUET DUET DUET DUET

[hahs4]

i love how she points at simon at 00:51 and 1:07

[MotMaoriGurl]

Beyonce who?? lol. Awesome! <3

[MySugarWallz]

Leaves Beyonce in the dust, headed for Streisand and Whitney territory.

[Joator018]

the best song by melanie amaro

[cella626]

ze is heeeeeeel goed. trouwens dat wist ik al sinds haar audition. And she won. Ik kijk haast iedere dag naar haar clips. Can't get enough. Ik ben benieuwd naar haar nieuwe album.

Very, Very, Very good girl. Fans in Suriname love you. Cella

[misscutiegirl2011]

Melani is an awsome singer!I luv it when she sings Listen! She even won the $5 million dollar award! You go girl!!!!

[71Bray71]

Who cares!!? If she couldn't hit high notes!! Who cares!! That day she was more nervious more than others days!! ok!

[Michellmy]

This was pretty bad, what are you guys taking? Guess I'm just used to Beyonce.

[rafael0s3]

@Sweethart87 You didn't understand me.

I said that she's an EXCELLENT singer, but she didn't hit the notes.

In her first audition she hit, but NOT here.

And whatever, Nobody can do it better than Beyonce.

It's my opinion, if you don't agree, just respect and ignore me.

You have your opinion, so I'll stay with mine, and you with yours.

THE END

[ShawnDavis18]

god she is amazing...the quality in her voice is so full and clean.. when she belts at the end im like DAMN...AMAZING

[Dyanneblack]

[joseantonio8733]

[AlyetteRetamal]

Her voice is amazing, and Listen it is a wonderfull song, it is a perfect presentation in my opinion. I LOVE THIS VIDEO¡¡¡¡

[khaledjufain]

the people who disliked this video they don't like it they LOVE IT

[ElectroMilion]

just: O-M-G!

:O so good!

[raymundf4]

IM ADDICT TO HER VOICE!

[LoHelen38]

With passion, but she couldn't reach some of the high notes

[2008evon]

I just wish she sang another song to see how really good she is!!!! something that is also have a high note, and most specially if high note combined with low notes and she will hit it all, we can really say, BRAVO!!!!!!! this one is amazing but someone owned this one already.

[xXSaWcHyNXx]

@2008evon its because this is her audition song and everyone redoes their songs

[2008evon]

@xXSaWcHyNXx owwwww, good 2 know!!!!! even those two finalist sang the same song that they sing on audition? didn't see their audition video yet, but are they allowed to sing a new song for final's?

[MAPLEidolxD]

@2008evon they were suppose to sing the song they sang for their audition

[MrStreetsofgold]

R KELLY SAID TO THE WORLD THAT MELANIE'S GOD GIVEN TALENT WILL TAKE HER TO THE STARS. R KELLY HAS WRITTEN MANY NUMBER ONE HITS AND MANY LEGENDARY SONGS FOR HUNDREDS OF STARS INCLUDING MICHEAL JACKSON. AND KNOW ARTISTS ON EARTH OR AFTER R KELLY WANT AND WILL NOT DO IT LIKE R KELLY HAVE DONE IT. AND WANT EVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO WORK WITH M J THE WAY R KELLY HAS, ALONE WITH OTHER ARTIST. BECAUSE OF GOD WHO HAS GIFTED R KELLY AND MELANIE AMARO. ENVIOUS HATERS STOP DISCRIMINATING AND RECOGNIZE.

[MrStreetsofgold]

MELANIE AMARO, is a GENIUS and the haters does not even KNOW IT are UNDERSTAND. MELANIE asked L A REID and SIMON, that she wanted to sing with the GREATEST R N B SINGER, SONGWRITER AND PRODUCER OF ALL TIME. THE MAN NAME R KELLY. HE HAD TOLD L A REID AND SIMON THAT HE WOULD LOVE TO SING WITH MELANIE. YEARS AGO MICHEAL JACKSON BEGGED R KELLY TO WRITE ON HIS ALBUM. AND TO GIVE HIM SOME WISDOM ABOUT SOUL MUSIC. AND M J PAID R KELLY MANY MILLIONS.

[MrStreetsofgold]

ALL OF YALL HATERS, NOT YOU ALL BUT YALL, HATERS OF GREAT ENVY OF JEALOUSY ,KNOWS THAT MELANIE AMARO NOT ONLY KNOCKED OUT THE CONTESTANTS BUT SHE KNOCKED THE JUDGES AND THE ENTIRE AUDIENCE OUT.SHE BELONGS TO GOD. YOU BETTER LOVE MY SISTER WHO IS FROM THE SEED OF BLACK JACOB. SHE WILL BECOME A GREATER VOCALIST . AND SHE'S ONLY 19. I HAVE NOT SEEN NO FEMALE OF HER AGE THAT CAN SING MIND BLOWING KEYS WITH HER VOCAL MELODIES, VIBES OF SOULFUL RHYTHMS OF GREAT VIBRATO CONTROL OF PURE GENIUS. LISTEN

[Chimpza]

@navy4girl Beyonce is the Best!!!!

[RDP0504]

She's simply amazing..



[navy4girl]

[verduna2]

[AwesomeArtistsLive]

[xlines]

Is it me or has Charice covered the songs that Melanie already coved but way better renditions. Melanie must be a Charice fan.

[Omarescence22]

@xlines ,,, who the fuck is Charice??... Melanie FTW

[71Bray71]

Everybody here are ignorants!!! Motherfuckers!!! You don't know about music!!! Charice is a glee singer!! ! Melanie is a Beyonce Singer!! So shut your mouths!

[T3RR1]

It's great that she won, but I'd be buying Josh's album...

[NastyV3548]

@1488slav Hey assface, we don't need your racial remarks. There's only one thing you should be doing, which is sucking c====8

[marzanmelanie1]

CHARICE PEMPENGKO still amazing voice when she sing that song ( LISTEN )

[2008evon]

she is amazing but it seems like her voice is a bit breakable and not that powerful try to check this girl named charice pempengco

[marzanmelanie1]

@2008evon CHARICE PEMPENGKO is a FILIPINA young girl who is really have AMZING and POWERFULL voice ever!!!!

[2525RONY]

[Tgurl2008]

[recanaw]

hate to read the comment when people keep comparing this singer to others

[fancystace]

Great singing, but for those of you who said better than beyonce, sorry not at all...close but Bey still owns it

[Tialafienea]

Damn, she's good... How can people hit the dislike button? :D

[falionalovetvxq]

CHARICE voice is better

[marzanmelanie1]

@falionalovetvxq cOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOrrrrrrrrrrrre­eeeeeeeeeeeect CHARICE PEMPENGKO IS STILL BETTER VOICE

[itsanepicname]

I'm sorry, but who the fuck dislikes this???

[dhaynes87]

@itsanepicname beyonce and her team. because she was out done on her own song.

[Dalenlly]

@itsanepicname sure sing better ...

[pendolakaren1]

Melany was always the best... her perfomance in this song is better than Beyonce!

[datleoishot84]

@pendolakaren1 yea it was better.. all beyonce did was scream the song..

[thonks77]

Como é possivel alguem não gostar disso? MELANIE FODA

[delite98]

Congrats Melanie!



[lulysmiranda22]

the best!



[mihojau]

Finally, America got it right! Congrats Melanie, you are amazing .........!!!

[CBProductionsCP]

OH AND ASTRO GOT SIGNED TO JAY-Z

[CBProductionsCP]

MELANIE WON!!!! BUT I WANTED JOSH OR CHRIS TO WIN MOSTLY BUT MELANIE DESERVED IT AND IM HAPPY SHE WON

[chalegre]

Congrats Melanie! You deserved it =D

[bethelworhsip]

great!

phase by marcus

[TheEvaristoCaitlin]

MELANIE WON <3

[bradleyy2kaii8]

Alexandra burke sang it with more passion josh should win!

[harveybars08]

she is good but i would rather have watch rachel crow

[peliferj100]

She must sing with Mariah Carey When you Believe!

[peliferj100]

oh my god!! the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QbnVoiCe]

simply the BEST.........

[Beystan09]

Good voice, but can't hit some high belted notes.

But she deserves to win this edition.

[datleoishot84]

@Beystan09 what all beyonce did was scream this song..this chick actually sung this damn song..

[bradleygibsons]

@Beystan09 What?? What were you listening to???

[NastyV3548]

@Beystan09 You should hear her 1st audition, she sang this song but it was better, because of the high notes she hit

[DrMonkeyBoyJr]

@Beystan09 you're a joke

[mibroka]

@Beystan09 whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MySugarWallz]

@Beystan09 Don't malign her that way.  The girl was crying. Give her a break. She hasn't hit a sour not all season - unlike every single other (except for Josh, maybe).

[cuartemar21]

Charice Listen is superb !! She's good too but she doesnt hit notes perfectly..

[viniciusbidarte]

ai que lindo! hahah

me arrepiei! Eu achei que a Beyoncé iria aparecer, assim como apareceu com a Alexandra!

[tylerrrrr30]

13 ppl don't knoww musiccc

[foreveryoung0192]

I got chills listening to this.

[rafael0s3]

0:35 didn't hit the note, and 1:25 so forced.

She's an excelent singer, but it would be better if she sang

1 pitch down.

[jamess05milan]

@rafael0s3 oh my god, are you serious. she's singing live in front of millions of people so a note every now and then may be off key. Do me a favour and run onto that x factor stage and try and top the performance melanie just did. If you do then i'll shut my face but as that is most unlikely then you need to shut yours

[rafael0s3]

@jamess05milan you didn't read all I've written, lol

Why do people only read the bad part?

You just want to fight, and I will not give it to you. xD

[jamess05milan]

@rafael0s3 no, believe me there's no fight here cause i know i'm right. It's more of a one way battering

[rafael0s3]

@jamess05milan you think you're right, i think i'm right too. So, just learn to respect another's opinion instead of acting like a Britfan. I don't have to think like you, or you like me. peace ;)

[jamess05milan]

@rafael0s3 are we in church - what shit are you going on about. i think your comment is complete bullshit so i'm gonna tell you that. the world isn't all pretty flowers you know.

[rafael0s3]

@jamess05milan Lowered the level? How sad ...

[jamess05milan]

@rafael0s3 no, told the truth - get real. anyway, i'd rather lick shit that continue this. thanks for your opinions - they've kept the last 1/2 hour going but after a while too much bullshit stinks the place out so i just have to walk away. have fun posting your reply to this which i'm sure you will but i won't be reading it

[rafael0s3]

@jamess05milan fans, always fans ... rsrs

until when? lol

[brennyxox]

I fell in love with your voice from the begining .

And I will stand by that till the end.

You Diserve to win! <3

[Sweethart87]

I don't think Beyonce can even sing it that good live!

[rafael0s3]

@Sweethart87 seriously? so see it: /watch?v=AepwHKOSrek

[Sweethart87]

@rafael0s3 Not impressed.



[drigao16]

@Sweethart87 I do not know where you learned about singing, but know that they teach you bad ^^

[Sweethart87]

@drigao16 If you are going to insult someone.. at least try to form a sentence that makes sense.

[drigao16]

@Sweethart87 you're not american?

[JaimHD]

"SPECTACULAR"

[wagnerbaldaqueam]

REDICULUS!

[PettoHelterSkelter]

Melanie > beyoncè

[TicTacTany]

Dear Melanie Amaro

You are amazing

Keep dreaming and always keep your head up

Everyone should vote for you.

You deserve it the most

I love you and I will always be a fan

<3

[thebdreamer]

She did an amazing performance, at the beggining I though it could have a little more force and strenght but it was amazing in general. Obviously Beyonce's version is quite better, but this was great great great (:

[gabejonesiswierd]

amazing



[Prynz02]

Charice version during post Oscar party is way better than this... Though Melanie can really sing like there's no tomorrow. Hope she'll win.

[IanROX22]

I love how fans of every finalist are going on other videos and disliking them and bashing them xD guys, they're all great, stop being little kids

[ChariceFanSwe]

hm.. not convinced have to give it a thumbs down.

Charice and Beyonce sings this song by far the best.

Hands down.

[thegreathoo]

That was a mess

[Depsrain]

@thegreathoo ...that was a jealousy comment

[rndchemist]

Perhaps the best finale of any of these shows (American Idol, The Voice and The X-Factor). With this song, this woman re-certified herself as a super star!!! If she does not win, it just shows that the people in this country do not understand what makes a great singer!!

[WWERatedBethPhoenix3]

I voted for Melanie Amaro 17 times , I hope she qoes throuqh !

[LOL012345679]

there werent any special moments because the whole time it was flawless

[maila773]

cabletekk, i thought i was the only one who noticed that mess at the end. it was either the band's fault or they really changed the arrangement at the ending but melanie forgot to do the change, because the back up singer also added that extra bar, they repeated the oohs exactly at the same spot. instead when she realized it, she just adlibbed the ohhhhhh. maybe that's why she looked dissappointed or something right after she sang. but the judges didnt mention the mistake.

[Prboi92]

@maila773 but that's what makes Melanie a professional. Instead of looking back at the band and saying: What the hell? She adlibbed the ohh, and it still came out beautifully. I didn't think it was a mistake and that it's the way it was supposed to be because it came out flawless and amazing!

[MrKunz26]

Wonder what would Beyonce Say about this ?? LOL

[alekadanielle11]

VOTE VOTE VOTE FOR HER :)

[archanimal90]

AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING.

[satexguy1]

I liked her audition better. Josh is the only one who stepped it up and did something more than a staged "redo" of the audition, and his guitar work matched the new version of "At Last". Melanie's voice is awesome again, but not nearly as emotionally powerful as her audition. (I also wish they hadn't done the dancers with Chris's song, distracting and pulled from his performance)

[hihiimhailey]

i voted & posted this video on my facebook... rock it out & win melanie <3

[illyria1286]

off the subject, i think paula was drunk during the show again. lol

[MrMuziekfan]

Beautiful performance, amazing job !!!

[LOL012345679]

AMAZING but i liked the audition better

[ba4774]

@LOL012345679 I thought she was much more emotional tonight and I loved it.

[105errl]

WOW.. This performance is definitely on a different level.

She has to be the Xfactor winner. GO MELANIEEE!!!

[ReadR00ster1]

I didn't hear any flaws.

[XOXOStepen]

@ReadR00ster1 try to hear CHARICE VERSION! hahahaa

[FrankieJMusic]

The vibrato and timbre of her voice at 1:25 is amazing. -- Yea, there were some flaws throughout, but the potential of her voice cannot be denied. Melanie definitely has my vote.

[Cabletekk]

Great performance, but sounds like the band messes up and plays an xtra bar right around 1:52 The words "Im more than what should of been on the accent." Melanie adlibs and saves the day. Not cool, Maybe the bandleader should "Listen"

[ShannonStephenSmith]

I saw this she deserves to win.

Please listen to my 3 original songs I wrote click on my name pls

Merry Christmas

[Bur1yan]

I thought the audition was awesome but this performance is on another level

[iluvtwilight101]

AMAZING<3 she deserves to win (:

[trazie83]

This girl can sangggg I love her voice

[fernandohr3]

WOW! nothing else to say...

[QbnVoiCe]

W O W ! ! ! !

[temptsrule]

Well Done Child of God, Well Done

[tariqmom]

Keep making the Virgin Islands proud girl!!!

[deskins82584]

just...wow

[ZForce33]

This is the single best vocal performance I have ever heard.

[jayr122001]

she looks like charice lil bit :)

[MsFathersdaughter1]

vote now

[papadutch64]

If that performance didn't make you vote, you don't have a pulse.

[suddenlink3]

She is breathtaking!!! Love you, Melanie!!!!!! Can't wait to hear you singing your own music! Good luck tomorrow night !

[1990kbs]

she is amazing! this is better than the first time. THEY ALL redid their auditions to showcase their growth! she is the best! please vote act 3

[itsjackson91]

@1990kbs definitely agree! 

[itsjackson91]

She gives me chills every single time. She really deserves to win. She has been the most consistent and the most improved. I like Josh but he doesn't give me the same feeling Melanie does. I judge based on vocals and this girl can sang. Chris Rene does nothing for me. I love his story and all but I'm not feeling his talent.

[TheAwun86]

What a World class voice for a 19yr old...I knew from her first audition that she would take the title..we shall see..can't wait.

[iluvrei]

not again? but i so love her!!! hope she wins!! or josh!!

[TheMielz]

wow ur fasttt

[dhatgurl09]

AMAZING!!!! Gave me chills!!! I hope she wins!!! #TeamMelanie

[Sallinequach]

UNBELIEVABLE! PLEASE AMERICA VOTE FOR MELANIE! SHE NEEDS TO WIN THIS COMPETITION!

[unckid93]

Yesss Melanie!!!!!! She needs to win after this performance!!!
