Wasn't her best but not bad either. Considering she was sick, I think she did awesome! If I tried to sing when I was sick, I'd sound like a dying cow!
Although she sang it wonderfully, she made a huge mistake picking that song. Myself being a musician, I know the golden rule, you never pick a song THAT universally known just like a marching band wouldn't pick star wars. It's too easy to compare it to the original. You have your SINGERS....and then theres the PROFESSIONAL singers. Unfortunately, her voice wasn't big enough for it. Not to mention, Celine Dion is a very skilled and professional singer.
I understand what Simon was saying but he should have used different words. She did look way older than 16, almost motherly and it just wasn't her age. Felt sorry for her like she wanted to cry
oh puleeze what is the difference between her and celine? beside the annoying french canadian accent and statutory rape? nothing...she has the same voice quality
@someonezmom Sorry. Not even close. Every note Celine Dion sings is crystal clear and rings like a bell. This girl has a nice voice and has some power to it, but it's muddied compared to Dion, Aguilera, Beyonce, and other great divas. Very average quality, which is why she does Broadway, doesn't have albums in the Top 10 and not on tour. Lets be real here.
@SonoranRosie i'm sorry but I resent the "which is why she does Broadway" - that makes it sound like singers on Broadway are lacking some talent. Broadway singers can usually kick diva butt, especially if that Diva is Aguilera who is nothing but annoying and screachy when she sings as of late
@dramadoll616 Sorry if you're offended, but the fact is, Broadway performers, while very talented and enjoyable to watch, do not have the level of talent required to compete at the level of a Celine Dion or Barbara Streisand and have that kind of career. If they could, they would.
I agree with Simon and Randy...agreeing with Simon telling it how it is and agreeing with Randy trying not to make it all about what he didnt like by telling her shes a good singer but her singing that song wasn't her best. So I'm thinking it all balances each other out. lol
She is smiling but you can tell she is hurt inside. It takes so much courage for a teenager to perform like these girls and take the brunt of criticism from the judges. I have the utmost respect for them!
Despite how the judges critiqued Diana, I admire she took it very mature. Was it my favorite, from her? No. That bad? No. This show is all about politics and the judges had their eyes on who they wanted to win. They knew what they were doing by who and how they compliment and comment.
The problem of this rendition is Diana lacks conviction. I do agree she has some range and she pulled off all the high notes pretty well. But how she interpreted the rest of the song (verse, chorus) is very bland.
I knew this was the diana degarmo that had been growing however Gutsy performance for being sick! I give her a B+ for effort and I think this wasnt as bad...However if she had the arrangement that Cosima De Vito from Aussie idol had it would have been better...I believe this is maybe the 2nd or 3rd best rendition
I had to perform that song on the piano in 1998 and many talented girls in school wanted to sing. Diana's performance made me think of those auditions I had to sit through. I didn't want to be mean but I also didn't want to lie. It's an extremely delicate balance between singing and shouting that very few can master other than Celine Dion. Eventually, I decided to do an instrumental performance with no singing.
Well thats some bullshit! I couldnt even tell she was sick, and I liked how she didn't tell everyone like some contestants did. (Cough) Meagan Joy (Cough)!!!!
@curlingiron7658 i think when she hits the really high notes its a love or hate thing....that either sounds really good or really bad depending on what you enjoy
because simon..is a moron..he knows she was so good...and he didnt wanna to discover in america a talent like leona lewis..cause shes so good..shes one of the best singers who can hold a note the most longer..but he hated her..cause he was spanish and fantasia was american..so..u know.."spanish people cant be so talented like americans"...o yes they can..there are amazing artists in sud america and spania..and 3 he likes pop..and she sings love songs.. and fantasia sings pop as well..hes stupid
She continues to amaze me. This one of her best earlier performances during Season 3. I'm just glad she made it into the Finale with Fantasia, because I thought was going to be forgotten.
