Elaine Gibbs - The X Factor USA Judges Houses 2011

[AaronDono1]

i ike her and stacy...Stacy was kin of a screamer but i think she had more potential but Elaine is awesome!

[bibavsm]

she's amazing. and while I watch this video I wish I could sing just so I could beee there, at least for 5 minutes...gorgeous...

[WhyWasuhhpCrew]

If she was in she probably would have almost one.. atleast top 5

[wigg1es]

I can't believe she put Dexter through instead of this woman, but then again, this is the same judge who sends Rachel home over Marcus. Her 3 should have been Elaine, Stacy and Josh.

[07304kells]

i cant believe she didnt make it but stacy did only thing stacy has over her is the emotion she crys after every performance

[dedrellmcfadden]

DAMN....she songs good. Better than that 40yr old women. Should of kept this one.

[sjoerdy97]

sge is soooooo mutch better than dexter ....i love her she has such a beautifull voice mutch more better than anyone of the 30 from the competicion

[dombark]

The good thing is, because she didn't get to the live shows, she's allowed to enter again next year :)

[costegno1]

Preciosa voz Elaine.

Suerte y muchas felicitaciones.

[mali100890]

funny how elain's perfomance astonished nicole,but she did not make it!!!

[TheHooch7]

surely better singer than rene, her judge!

[TheHooch7]

his voice is like 3D or dolby surround or something! unbelievable!

[TheBara10]

This is tina turner

[oscarfabcel]

BETTER THAN LEONA LEWIS COVER...

WHY THIS WOMAN COULDNT GO FURTHER IN THE COMPETITION... THE BEST VOICE OF ALL THE CONTESTANTS SO FAR...

[123456789099451]

omg i love 1:39 :D

[mali100890]

she gives me chills!!!!!!!!

[786Lady]

I love her voice! It is so soulful... too bad she didn't make it further in the show.

[kerek19]

Love this lady big time.......She got talent beyond an i think it was a mistake to send her home baby N.....think this is about talent of all nicole mama said not easy but if you wanted to win this comp you should have kept her

[CAPRICORNCUTIE]

she has me @ :25

[sumoleguy1]

She's a much better singer than Stacy Francis. Elaine is a victim of Stacy's lies and manipulation with that sob story she made up to scam support for her. Honest straight up comparison of talent and ability, Elaine wins. Stacy is a train out of control, gives me a headache.

[MarkovicAleksandra]

I'm sorry people, she is beautiful, but she is not better than Stacy.. It's my opinion.

[obirock]

Such a shame Elaine Gibbs wasn't picked. What a huge mistake though it was a tough choice picking Stacy instead. However, she was definetely a better singer and performer than leroy and josh. Again, what a shame, Nicole got it all too wrong. Worst judgement. Even Simon redeemed himself by saving Melanie.

[yahlams]

Elaine Gibbs vs stacy

[MrDanielDanD]

What an artist ! pfff :)

[sexylous5]

what went wrong....i've been looking forward for this lady to go through she is soooooooo good....she is even better than some of the singers in the 2nd live show.

[TheHooch7]

wow! even better that the original play of oasis!

[ladxmg]

I adore her "hello"

[JackBauer529]

Simply incredible. The tone, the ease and the joy are all infectious. I didn't really think much of Nicole S. to begin with, and now I have nothing but contempt for her. And she even said, "I think you have one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard", then doesn't choose her. So sad. At least Enrique got it. On the other hand, I had a great deal of respect for LA Reid, and he did an even worse job. So WTH, I guess.

[mali100890]

i am glad that elaine did not cry her heart out after that poor and pathetic decision by that skinny bitch

[gicky92]

sung with such ease

[despretine100]

1:16 the best!

[123456789099451]

i love 1:40 :3

[loschiwuos]

Woooowwww

[Micky11111]

Best version of this song for me!

[ZaidaGwen]

Que paso Nicole? Tu sabes que no fue justo! no se que tomastes en consideracion when you made that decision, it was sooooo unfair!!!!! and you know it Nicole.

[mouse4689]

Bad song choice? Are you nuts? A couple times I thought I heard Shirley Bassey in there. Amazing!

[RicaMartini]

Bad song choice...

[arkangelblue]

Woaaaa

[emylxtra]

she is better than stacy 

[123456789099451]

@emylxtra no she is better than dexeter and leroy ._.

[suberkin]

@123456789099451 and stacy

[guidoradice]

@emylxtra nononono

[1simonecka]

Forward she??

[cw8307]

She's not unique at all...go on Idol...You do not have the X factor...u have the church choir factor

[kel050569]

If Elaine will to perform this song in yesterday live show, all the 17 there will be far far behind her(yesterday stacy/Melanie/Chris..etc were not up to expectation yesterday) !! Hope some company can just sign her up and prove the judges wrong

[sparrowus]

I have to agree with MISSSHENEE929 that this was a poor professional judgement on Nicole's part. You have cut short the opportunity for one of the best voices on that show to win and for that I will never buy any of your music again. For someone who has a great voice, I am surprised that you made such a poor decision. Next time please clean the wax out of your ear prior to going to work

[17410Manuel]

She is much better than the people who is judging her , i mean Nicole and Enrique

[MISSSHENEE929]

To send her home and keep Dexter "NO GOOD" Haywood speaks terrible volumes to Nicole's professional judgement. Elaine's voice is amazingly captivating.

[taffi85]

Her voice on this track is haunting. I got goose bumps listening to this. True talent shines through when it is able to touch peoples souls the way her voice does. Fantastic!

[sparrowus]

just goes to show that even those with talent can make terrible decisions.....shame on you Nicole. I hope that when this woman makes it big she sings bells around you.

[MrBakabear]

@sparrowus absolutely agree

[joesel19]

if she didn't get to X FACTOR try AMERICAN IDOL then i lost GUTS watching this show after choosing the WORST ONE's and FEW GREAT's in the TOP 32for the LIVE SHOWS!!!

[UberRice]

She has that loving look to her. Kind of like a grandma.

[SirHarrison9]

Is it bad that this video has been on repeat since I have heard it? When she sings...I believe it. That's why she should have won. Singing isnt hard...its making people believe in the song that makes a performer/superstar. Gosh Nicole needs to bring Elaine back right now!!!! This is ridiculous

[Sarinka881]

She has an amazing voice....I can't understand, why she isn't in final 4!!!...I want her back! :'(

[MsJanitka]

This woman is sooooooo amazing! I can't believe she is not IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheShynice123]

OMG Enrique so cute... 

[XOMartha44]

Strange. She's perfect. What a voice, and she projects such warmth. I would go see her in a show in a second. LOVE her. Will someone please sign this woman asap?

[Dollypineapple]

How come the footage is backwards, watching the show in Europe and this clip along with the others look like they were shot in reverse??? not making myself clear but it's weird cause they were all facing the opposite direction for the judges houses auditions...plus I have to look away so that I don't see who made the live shows and who didn't, why can't the shows be aired at the same time in USA and Europe.

[redlipstickxx]

ohh Enrique.. babyyy

[Jakaylaluvsyaxox]

i love her voice & this song♥ she deserved to get through to the live performances, ithink she has a much better voice than dextar & leroy...

[ncgvpinay]

This woman was born to sing and should be competing for America to choose what real talent is, not to get emotional about giving Dexter a chance. He doesnt belong to be with this living legend. Elaine is a star. We do not want to listen to kind of a voice like Dexter singing. Enrique told you NICOLE...didn't you hear? Her confidence will make a superstar!!! You made a big...huge mistake Miss Nicole. You are pretty but deaf and stupid.

[lisasaybe]

I thought she was amazing.  I can't beleive Nicole put Dexter before this woman. I hope to see her again. Thank you Elaine for sharing your gift!

[1971SuperLead]

HOW FRIKKIN STUPID IS X FACTOR FOR DROPPING ELAINE????

She easily belongs in the top 5!

STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!!!!!! S T U P I D ! ! ! ! !

[klembo1]

je to super

[trpazlik]

I love OASIS :)) great job Elaine :)

[dougpnz]

Stupid Nicole Slagslinger has no idea. Elaine, Christa and James were amazing. That drop out Dexter and that screamer Stacey it's ridiculous!!!! Stupid Pussy cat TROLL!!!!

[liamtompkins]

WOW

[ukgirlonce]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God given talent!!!

[flywheel702]

Best rendition I've ever heard of this song. The girl has great vocals.

[mrschrisc]

How could they NOT pick this woman. THese judges are DEAF!!

[haibtasmas]

i loved this version...nicole lost astar. idiot.

[Ezyzone7878]

STUPID NICOLE PUT THE OLD MAN, DEXTER, AND THE GREASY GUY OVER HER???!!!????!

[TheLexusrider]

amazing. just amazing.

[SuperTANEC]

wery wery gut :)

[marineseaex]

nicole should fight to get her a place like wad Simon did.. so the competition won't lose a truth, real talent.. it's such a waste to let her go

[roseschester]

Really, Why did Dexter get in over her? It's Crazy.

[purplefantasii]

Wow she's out can't beloved it this show is a total shocked!!!

[MrDominicsVids]

WHY DID NICOLE HAVE TO TAKE DEXTER!!!! WHYYYYYYY i felt really bad for elaine is soooo nicee and talented

[04ray25number2]

@MrDominicsVids She just chose him because he is homeless. She should have just get him a job. At the end of the day he will get crushed. I don't see him making it far on this competition.

[RainyMoonProductions]

I liked all 8 of the Over 30s. She was really good!

[akimbologo]

Enrique is THE hottest guy on the PLANET...bar none!!!!!

[cocoafudgy]

THIS IS ONE TOUGH FIGHT

[rhampton75]

Chaka Khan number 2, sang girl!

[oohrahash]

I like Stacey better...but this girl is a close second...amazing!!

[mitzlee1]

stacey has more potential

[Jtlake17]

I don't know why people would even want to look at the dislike button :/

[casescabarte]

elaine&stacey! yey:D

omg enrique. =.=

[fishwrite3]

This gifted, gifted lady needs a record contract!

[MegaPOSITIVEMIND]

I totally lost count on how many times I listen to her singing this song. The depth of her voice is really enchanting!!! I shed tears on many occasions. The best rendering of all times.

Wish u well, Elaine!!!!!

[crydozal0529]

None of these ppl are singing live!!!! wtf!!! smh, I mean these ppl do have talent but this show is whack!!!!

[4cellar2door0]

@crydozal0529 Uh, what the fuck are you talking about? EVERYONE on this show is singing live, yeah you should be shaking your head, wondering how you're so stupid..

[fuseneck]

Beautiful, what a voice. so what if she a little older on the heavy side, when I buy a CD it's for what I am listening to, and she has such great depth and tone. Hope she goes forward

[kingnatre]

alll of their voices sound so studio like

[pipebelly]

I can't stop listening to this performance. Elaine is truly someone special.

[gisalemon]

yay nicole didnt cry, Oh Enrique !!!!! hahhaha

[pahagasa]

she's great!!

[Dkkbulletsmile]

to tell you guys, this song is originally by oasis, leona covered it which was same as run by snow patrol.

btw this girl did good

[davidfds]

the overs are fantastic!!! all of them!! I couldn't be a judge in this category.

[SONGABUNDANCE128]

As soon as she sings.."HOLD ON...twice...she is an old school new school super star....like when Aretha started out...she just needs a GREAT album of GREAT TUNES.....has a slight Tine "tone"....Love her! would Love to write for her!

[macdesignguy]

One word... Superstar!

[michael05ify]

i love it

[13msbb]

You got it girl. May God continue to bless you. By blessing you he also bless so manymore by your heart felt music.

[cynm77]

The way she sang this song, just makes me smile!

[watchingandthinking]

Her voice is extraordinary !

[MsMatulo]

I like voice of Leona Lewis, but I think this is a better like original! ;-)

[marishka1993ful]

i think that this is the best version!!!

[yoye11]

Love it I want this track! just amazing!!

[MrsKrisss]

Omg,i love USA.

Enrique is absolutely hot!

Stacy Francis & Elaine are my winners.

..and by the way, i'm from Slovakia and our top singers are only a millionth of this.

'nuff said.

[MsMatulo]

@MrsKrisss I'm from Slovakia too and I agree with U! Teda už nemusím po anglicky, ale myslím si, že naši speváci oproti týmto, to sa nedá ani porovnávať aké hlasy sú v USA, keby niekto prišiel na kasting na Slovensku s takýmto hlasom, tak padneme na zadky!

[MrsKrisss]

@MsMatulo moja reč, u nás by boli jasným favoritom aj niektorí z tých, ktorí v USA vypadli už na kastingu.. pretože u nás vyberáme do finále tých lepších zo zlých, ale u nich tam posielajú len tých úplne najlepších z najlepších.. smutný slovenský fakt:)

[ThePaloC]

@MrsKrisss thumbs up for Slovakia :-D

[imGleeK16]

@MrsKrisss mame stastie ze nam davaju teraz na Slovensku X factor nie?:D pretoze je to najvacsia pecka :DD a moj favorit je Melanie a Phillip :D

[naxoi143]

Kudos to the Sound Technicians..

[shayku12]

i love your voice! perfect song choice.. you made it your own version. you can record it and it will be a hit!

[musicploitation]

Darling, your future will be in dance! That voice is so clear and crisps and so powerful.

[rightlung1]

perfect song choice, she sounds like donna summers, AWESOME!!!!

[tweetie35]

wrong song choice!

[mali100890]

@tweetie35 get a man bitch

[tweetie35]

@mali100890 WTF was that for ? lol smh..

[13msbb]

Elaine you are the greatest . You rock the music world. Once again God keeps on showing up and showing out. Your fan Msbb

[incom1337pro]

I think Pepsi sponsors the X Factor

[Wahrheitsbeweis]

i love this woman!!!

[slicklady7us]

She can sing but there is no marketability with her.. pass

[politelypompous]

@slicklady7usFor this competition-no... but I just made a post saying that I can see her doing good in gospel music...I can see her doing really good in that arena-that would be a way better fit for her talent...

[iLoVeUDiviNe]

ohhh my God ! she's so unbelievable !! feel like I'm watching A concert!!

[markjacko1234]

the UK X Factor is so much better!! plus all these performances have auto correction over their voices :s WTFS THAT! Original is always the best :D

[MsMoneyHunny1]

@markjacko1234 well, that's a matter of taste and it seems all the super stars are in the USA, 

[seoulstice85]

you can feel the emotion in her voice when she sings...but she's smiling while putting that soul into it....

[JOSHCLEM1269]

She is fantastic

[dutque]

beautiful voice at beautiful place; just nice

[JOSHCLEM1269]

She is good.

[ifionlycould4]

I am addicted to this song,, i think the over 39's are the strongest,, they all deserve to record their voices so i can buy it for home,,both staci and elaine are amazing, two different types,, ub their own ways equally captivating,, id they could channel what one has and the other should hv they will go on to do something amazing i think, ITS SO REFRESHING TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN A CHILD ,TO VOTE FOR AND TRULY GET THE BREAK THEY NEED AND EVEN MORE THAT THEY DESERVE 11

[fishwrite3]

Elaine remindes me a bit of Tina Turner. It would be sooooo coool if the two of them were to get together and sing. Elaine has a centeredness that has been gained by experience and age. The lady has that inner quality that attracks listeners to her. She shines as a winner, even without XFactor. Great watch, too.

I hope she wins!!! I'd buy her cd's in a heartbeat.

[1971SuperLead]

She was a soft, sweet voice that can really cut through the mix. Why wasn't she discovered years ago?

[PrincessStargirl72]

Lovely voice!!♥ Can't compare Elaine to Stacy though, they have different styles.

[wiredmanproductions]

LOVE her energy!

[zandusp]

This is a single tomorrow!! WOW!! Incredible!!!

[ukcharuk]

Wow, amazing song choice and an amazing voice... it kinda reminds me of, a little like Shirley Bassey, don't know why lol

[joe691020]

I love Elaine Gibbs, she reminds me of Star Jones because they have a resemblance. maybe I'm crazy but to me they look alike, Elaine seems very nice and star jones is just a bitch.

[XAeroScopeX]

That fact only 4 over 30s can be chosen, because it has to be equal from all groups is crazy. The over 30s dominate.

[13msbb]

@XAeroScopeX

She is awesome. I love her voice and her smile

[readingrox19]

she sang this so beautifully

[vbrockin27]

She sounds like Mary Wilson from The Supremes a little bit

[kurikinobad]

Very very good Elaine...awesome...

[91cavrs]

Just awesome...love love love her...i think Elaine was the only one to put little bumps all over my body,,,shes so awesome,,and i think she should win....but then again if she dont win..she was always a winner anyway.......Love you Elaine.....

[11113455y6]

wow.im speechless.she and Stacy should be the final two

[littlewoim]

I like her because when she sings the high notes she doesn't sound like a banshee. That said, Enrique is super hot!

[peninasamoa1973]

@littlewoim - Her next step should be to audition for Tyler Perry! She would be perfect!

[norvuzz]

i love enrique

[sammimadison84]

I love Elaine hope she wins, way better than stacy

[VancouverVortex]

Love her voice. The other lady cries all the time and it's worn thin now.

[jbfan189]

@VancouverVortex her name is Nicole :)

[mondobello]

I prefer Elaine to Stacey because Elaine is easier to watch - she doesn't scream as much either. Stacey's story is more 'sad' and probably considered better television. Basically Elaine is more likeable but that's my opinion. I prefer that she doesn't sob like a baby and go on about her hardships.

[AAAABritish]

@mondobello impossible to compare this women to stacey francis, stacey francis has got one of the most beautiful voices iv ever heard. FROM THE UK.

[hoereboeremoer]

@mondobello Screaming? Apparently you dont know anything about music, it is called belting.

[GlamourDanielle]

@mondobello yeah i love them both but stacey is shreiky.... :( im sad elaine isnt in live shows!

[ronwade5]

She is an excellent cabaret singer.

[tomatoe1004]

stop crying your heart out ~ leona lewis



[LiLCoOkiE1125]

What's the song title and original artist name for this song?

[wufaaa]

such a moving song sung so beautifully
