Toya Alexis If You Really Love Me

[Breniznit]

I told her to release here on twitter and she is now following me,god love her <3

[maracheski]

Whistle!!!!!!! A6!!!!

[MegaRubyWoo]

She cut up! #Period weerrrrkkkk!!!

[luchoq77]

Canadian idol is a joke, this lady should have won the guy who won in that season couldn´t even come close to her lever, I mean it.. But Canadians are too racist, and never voted for her to win. Canadians are into country music or more like country rock, and as to young people punk rock, & few hip hop I would say so. If she was a white girl she would have won period. Canada isn´t Justin Bieber a lacking talented kid, most of real black talented Canadians aren´t appreciated, sorry.

[yodajo1980]

I went to grade school with her, she was awesome back then too...... she should have won this year.... never mind been voted out so early.... ryan malcolm over toya was pathetic..... consider that one of the reason canadian idol die so fast, compared to the american version!

[krisxcouture]

i dont understand why she didnt win.

[Breniznit]

Obviously the girl should have won .Same thing happened here in Aus years ago.Ricki lee coulter was the best in the competition. And noone voted for her thinking she would be safe because she was so popular and was accidentally voted off : / I want this girl too release something here so i can buy it!!!

[Breniznit]

Hot! I love her already and only found out about her five mins ago. She should release something in Australia!!

[gregoirestar]

She seriously should have won this season! She made Canada proud!

[KIMDAVISMUSIC]

Damn Toya.. You killed that shit!! You are amazing!!!!!!

[sectionbadviser]

This girl Toya s really good.

[pandorasvagina]

yayayayayayayaa oooooo oo o o ooo ooo wooo woow yayayayayaya

[sodade21]

@pandorasvagina its actually yeaaaaaaaaahhh Loooooove mee :p

[Damyka4]

Toya is the true WINNER... CI SUX

[anacool099]

I don't like this music..but she's good

[STLUCIANIDOL91]

Toya is a great vocalist. Though I'm not sure I like those few high notes, I love the way she styled the song :D

[sodade21]

that girl does the whistle note almost like mariah does..its really special the tone,the color,the texture.. i love her...and her full voice reminds me so much of whitney Houston! :D

[crazykid421410]

Shes fantastic!

[Marchjoy1963]

This probably the best performance of all, from all the idol shows, I have ever seen !

[SJEEZUS]

DAYUM!!!!!!!

[jj201]

Unfortunately, after this performance, she got kicked out of the competition. I'm still not over it. You know she got ROBBED of the title. Everyone else who stayed on in the Top 5 pretty much sucked. I didn't bother watching the rest of CI season 1 after that.

[Statiakisser]

WOW!

[LGnLA]

Wow, different but really NICE version!!!

[infectiousgruvz]

yeah this is good

[timmy47]

she should have picked a better key. its too low for the chorus.

[SolOtis]

W00T DOPE! Jazzing and Scatting it up a little and with a whistle note! sick performance

[TruSouljah712]

I dislike Canadian Idol cause i find the judges (especially Zack and Jake) deep down prefer a certain style of music therefore they let people who do that style get a Gold ticket. Generaly the Canadian population seem to prefer Rock, pop/rock or country music over other genres. look at all the past contestants who didnt win but still made albums. Look at all the winners. The evidence is there. American Idol is more diverse.

[forcedfed5]

thas whas up

[forcedfed5]

she blew something ridiculous, somebody sign her already.

[ALLHAILODELL]

I guess in the industry it's about looks and not talent, cuz THIS GIRL GOT REAL TALENT AND MY OPINON SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.

[quebecois2011]

this makes me sad. toya has an amazing amazing voice, and then RYAN MACLOLM wins... yeah i have a big question mark on that one.

[krisxcouture]

lmao and he never became famous..so its fine

[idolfreak92]

Ryan Malcolm was great.

[IdolFanatic95]

unbelievable!!!! this is probably one of the best live performance on ever!! i can't believe she didn't win!

[toptwoBFF]

my fave is at 53 seconds!!! ughhh she sounds like whitney houston but she messes up alot and i dont like the whistle thingyyy lol

[krazykookykockykaden]

I like her jazz rendition and all of the skitting that she did in this song... she took a classic and turned into her own... NOW THAT'S TALENT!!!

[romanticspirit]

Canada's Got Talent... AWsome.. She is a Real Super Star!! Raw Talent!! Love HER!!!

She did the Ontario Commmercial!!

[chitsisgreat]

fuck me! her voice is like velvet she should be famous.

[serbiangirl29]

DON'T DISS BEN MULRONEY, he's better than ryan seacrest.

Well anyways I think this girl is AMAZING, i didn't even know of her, until today.

Ryan whatever his name is, who won that year SUCKED!!!

There's never any ethnic ppl in the top 5 of Canadian Idol for some reason... and it isn't that they do not have talent... hell they are wayyyyy more talented than half of these singers at the top

[steven12y]

Gary Beals - Top 2 CI1 - Black

Melissa O'Neil - Winner CI3 - Half Asian

Eva Avila - Winner CI4 - um spanish i believe?

Brian Melo - Winner CI5 - Portuguese

Matt Rapley - Top 5 CI5 - Black

Mookie Morris - Top 5 CI6 - Half Asian

[TruSouljah712]

Like Shawn Desmond and Nelly Furtado who are also Portuguese, Brian Melo is white. Portugal is a European country. Eva Avila is half Latino.

[canaidol]

yea season 3 winner was half chinese. its hard to miss. lol

[andrew448888]

what did the judges say?

[DAlmond123]

Did she win or what place did she come in?

[marquise2005]

She did not win. I think she came in 6th or 7th. If you wanna see the horrible winner of her season, look up Ryan Malcolm.

[DAlmond123]

So u can kind of say she is lyke a jennifer hudson of idol

[dan1818dan]

by far the most talented person to ever be on canadian idol..

[romanticspirit]

she really is GREAT!!!  She is almostr as good as Jennifer Hudson!

[andrew448888]

OMG SOOO GOOD

[ballababyxo]

she is amazing

i have never turned canadian idol back on since she was kicked off

[cloocloo123]

That host person looks urrgly as hell,anyway this girl can sing!

[maraesa1000]

wow...

[6125216]

She can sing and she is sexy as hell.

[tarotdude2006]

This girl is amazing...Marquise did an awesome job as her in D-I-V-A

Daniel

xx

[psat21]

ok the last time, remind me why she didnt wn canadian idol

[StrawberryBigMac]

because she got skillz.

[YUPnNOPE]

to good for that show.

[SEXYGIRLFOREVER2000]

woow

[honeybfly427]

Speachless.

[CCBaby]

This was the very same performance that got her voted off. Such a shame, cus she has been the best vocalist outta all the crappy Cdn Idol singers they have ever had. Cdn Idol sux big time and the judges and apparently viewing audience have abosolutely ear for real soulful talent. Just look at the past winners....exactly, can't remember either lol!

[marquise2005]

Actually, she was voted out the next week. She sang 'You Are The Sunshine Of My Life'.

[sports12pro]

could not have said it better myself!!! OMG they put through auditions where my ears bleed :'( its soo depressing that most canadian talent goes to the US

[nicolombia7]

cool voice!!

[warnakey]

that note blew my mind.

[MsChissa]

she has a beautiful voice, i didnt even know there was a canadian idol

[xmen4ever8290]

She reminds me of Betty Wright!

[phatbastid]

very patti she gave me that feelin when she hit her high notes and controls tha song a lot lke ms. labelle she good

[idoltyler06]

We all are having very different opinions, I think she reminds me of Patti LeBelle. But theres no way I could hear Patti hitting a note that high, Wow that gave me chills. I agree this was the best version on any Idol show ever.

[ktoret]

amazing

[vikinggirl89]

OMG.......I didn't know they had a Canadian Idol.That is Amazing

[cidol5]

this video is actually from 5 years ago...

canadian idol will be going into its 6th season next year

[MusicGuru12]

Incredible Voice. Great Version of the song. Stevie should be proud!

[Brian11785]

Toya's not just another big-voiced diva type--she's unique, emotive, and has a groovy musicality about her. Unlike, say, Khalila, she could most definitely hold up against the big guns from America and Australia.

Thanks a lot for sharing!

[romanticspirit]

Love HER, she reminds me J HUD!!! kelly b 4 Toya

[itsmeanthony]

Amazing performer

[tajmabruno]

Great vocals.

[jimjimisback]

she is very talented from her high notes to her lows!

[crystalhenderson927]

i love this girl, she need to come to america.lol did she win?

[marquise2005]

She came in 6th.

[KENSHARD123]

THIS WAS SO GOOD. TELL ME SHE WON!!!! but that high pitched scream....... she found another sound on the earth

[marquise2005]

She came in 6th

[marquise2005]

I believe this is the best version of 'If You Really Love Me' on any Idol show around! With Elliot Yamin doing the second best!

[lvpinoyboy]

elliot did way better!!!

[jimjimisback]

I second that!

[harcab]

wow

[papichilo]

mariah who

[kleymannie]

mariah mo betta..lol

[hitman101]

Yeah I know that but I still count Canadians as Americans because its in North America.

[marquise2005]

It is apart of Noth America (as is Mexico) but they are completely different countries! You can't consider them Americans because they are Canadian!

[hitman101]

So are you saying we can't call Canadians, North Americans?

[marquise2005]

No..call them whatever the hell you want to.

[hitman101]

Im not trying to argue but I just dont understand why some people in the US think there a different to Canadians.

[marquise2005]

Oh..I have nothing against Canadians. In fact I actually plan on moving there when I get older (and find a husband) but it's way too confusing to go into. I think we are thinking of different ways of saying American.

[hitman101]

She is good. I dont understand why they have American & Canadian separate though.

[marquise2005]

Because they are different countries! And..Canadian Idol is not known for finding and developing the best Idol talent! Her and a few others being the exception to the rule!

[Limster17]

man i wanted to see what the judges thought :( she's a great singer though :) :D

[sodade21]

We have to do something to promote that girl! She have AMAZING voice!! SOMEONE PLEASE!! =D

[bustadan2]

oh oh,that is a voice,mama mia

[jetit]

She reminds me of A young Betty wright..very good..

[xmen4ever8290]

thats so true!

[ladygem1ni]

She lives down the street from me. she was my cousins BEST FRIEND when we were younger..I got her autograph and everything. Shes so nice. she got recognized at our elementary school play of Wizard of Oz. She was Dorothy and she sang "Over The Rainbow"...I hope she reaches her dream!! =]

[malidol]

flawless

[coolflip678]

Someday, this note will win someone in that competition.

[scrubs023]

amazing whistle note in the middle. shes an amazing soul singer.

[scrubs023]

truly amazing!

[tributevocalist]

her low notes aren't as strong as her high notes. Her high notes blow everyone out of the water, especially that whistle note at the end, I know that blew me away!!!

[TSLeilaniMya]

1st Rate I think out of all the Idols all over the world that I have seen on tape or on here she has the best cover of this Stevie song even better then Ryan Starr who was on the first season Idol in the states!

[EBWASH89]

Oh My God!!!! She has everything you could ever want in a singing voice that Mariah Carey note she hit was amazing and I watched her other video's she is amazing

[oakjazz]

Thanks marquise, I wish her the best

[oakjazz]

Good improvisation.What position did she come in?, what season was this?,does anyone know about her future plans? Canadian idol isn't shown in the uk, so I have no clue about it.

[marquise2005]

She was eliminated a week after this! This was Season 1!! I'm still pissed she was eliminated a WEEK LATER!! Unfortunately, we have not heard anything from here lately! She released a well-recieved album...but that's pretty much!

[Euripides27]

Wow! How come she didn't win? Instead Canadian Idol keeps picking losers who can't sing.

[mundiman889]

i know seriously >=@

[gulfrazthehunk]

Tisha Cambell-Martin

[zoey0069]

Toya is absolutely amazing!
