Jordin Sparks-Livin' On A Prayer

[kemiley56]

it's one thing for simon to say mean things about her singing but her look, she is so beautiful.

[kemiley56]

i love jordin, she is an amazing singer!

[Chris201076]

She should have sang Always by them that week

[ahyun617]

paula has great taste!!! the entire bon jovi band are HOT, HOT, HOT!!! jon and dave are 28 years older than i am, richie is 30 years older than i am, and i think tico is 36 years older than i am....i'm 21...and i still think they're really hot...

[chantalalexander]

@ahyun617 you sound like you are plotting out wedding plans lol.

[MizzJessica305]

=OOOOO OMG I NEVER KNEW SHE SANG DIS SONG! SHES AWEOSME I LOVE HER SHES MY ROLE MODEL SHES SOUNDS GOOD BUH IT NEEDS WORK FOR HER TO B PERFECT

[tapzey]

Does anyone know who the guitarists are? I know one Ricky minor I wanna know who the other one is.

[julianacostaval]

She managed to ruinned the song!! TERRIBLE!!

[skipe94]

sorry jordin bon jovi sing it better lol

[cheryblosen]

i honestly love her hair

[travisj90]

I don't think this was bad either! she has so much conviction to me that she pulled it off in my opinion

[strongerxgirl12]

it wasnt very good....she sang good...it wasnt that her singing wasnt good....this just wasnt a good week for her...bon jovi is not her kind of music...i still love listening to her sing it though lol

[HollieGunn]

i think this is really good? seriously all you people saying its crap.. can you hit those notes? didnt think so.

[sweetiepea13]

one of my favorite bon jovi songs and i thought she nailed it! i dont understand why simon didnt like the hair. it looks the same as the time when she sang that tracy champan song so that doesnt make sense really. but i still like simon, i just didnt like the comment about her hair.

[soulbirds]

thats really bad

[xxY2JLEDGENDKILLERxx]

david cook did better and he only sang it for a few seconds in his audition

[YankeesRock4eva]

SHE FORGOT THE WORDS! It's supposed be "It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not, we got each other and thats alot for love, we'll give it a shot"

She forgot the we got each other and thats alot for love part!

And i'm a HUGE Bon Jovi fan so i know.

[drcarfll]

@YankeesRock4eva You don't have to be a huge Bon Jovi fan to know that, it's one of their best known songs. And they change the songs for the performences, because they have to be short.

[crimsonIcry]

@YankeesRock4eva no she didn't, they have to edit the songs for the time elotted and such

[alisolman]

@YankeesRock4eva you know that their time is short to sing right ?

[Druidiie]

He's so hot.. omg.

[hororka666]

Well Ok ROCK is definitelly not her styler, but she did fine. I mean it was OK, but it´s just really not for her at all.

[xxhailybabexx]

Simon, SUCK IT ! She was awesome .

[NazzyWazzy19]

@xxhailybabexx Simon don't lieee

[MrPokemonfreak111]

Now we know why no one sings anothers signature song unless it's the original band.

[HeraLedro]

Beautiful voice, but I don't really think that this is her style of music. The final bridge was off, and I don't know that she has the right range. I know Bon Jovi (ALL HAIL) said to sing a different note, but sometimes that can hinder more than help, especially if that note leads one into a different scale as she did.

Still a beautiful voice, but I don't know that this style of rock really suits her.

[monsterproductions27]

Blake was the best with You Give Love A Bad Name that night

[StarWarsFan7656]

No no no no. Fail. Do not sing songs from my favorite band anymore.

[itstheapocalypse]

Her lower register is terrible here. Normally it's great. They should've changed the key to the song from the beginning.

[kabajabbafish]

i seek another bon jovi

[LoveAuntAshley]

After she got the right note down, I thought she nailed it. Great job Jordin! I bet you did Bon Jovi proud! :)

[PejaRapiLudzie]

She had better performances. 

[lazycrewband]

This song is not made for this kind of bitch ...

[DefLeppardFan919]

@lazycrewband Fuck you. She did an awesome job at this song!

[ChristopherYOLO]

@lazycrewband what the hell is your problem, calling girls bitches......stfu and gtfo

[Bozzmancommeth]

very good!!! she did wonderful!!!

[johnandrewevangelist]

not good flat at many notes...but she has good voice,,,i don't think the song fits her. but then again as a singer she has to make her voice fit the song...

[TimBurtonFan4Eva]

Not bad but certainly not fantastic

[jinjabreadboi]

This is actually quite good :D

[raccoonxeyesxx]

She gave me chills at the end.

I thought she was good, dammit.

[shamandra]

wow she got help from the man himself! now thats something! :)

[demolitionlover1678]

this actually my second favorite performance of her

[Jhaerik]

Ahh I know.. she's younger and better looking... otherwise she's not even close to as talented as Melinda Doolittle.

[Jhaerik]

youtube.com/watch?v=Sp5m3HFI9A­U

Why did she win?

[CrazyKewlx3]

jordin has an amazing voice, but this song doesn't fit her.

[winterw00d]

i like the way she said " yes they were .. "

[sunvickydancin]

she was awesum simon needs to lay off the crack

[rbelschner67]

Simons comment cracked me up. seriously the rocker style wasnt for Jordin but she gave it all she had and she didnt do a bad job

[KrisAllisonKelly4evr]

you know i've heard this was horrible... personally, i think it really isn't jordin's best by a long shot, but it's not that bad. but then, i haven't finished it yet.

[sandrinharockpop]

awesome!!!

[jasam879]

i liked this performance! jordin is too cute, like a tall ball of sunshine <3

i swear, jon bon jovi does not age. still attractive!

[twilightgirlyy78]

I did this song for my school talent show. Two other girls and I dressed like rockers, and sang Bon-Jovi!!!! [; it was a blast

[partypeoplexoxo]

from 2:41! WOW! AMAZING! the runs, the notes! COOL!

[carlyx0x3]

ssso talll, :)

i lovvve her hair in thiss. :D

sssso gorgeous !

[ssaykcul]

But this is probably the best I've seen.

[ssaykcul]

In my opinion, I've never seen anyone cover a Bon Jovi song and made it good.

[nakotacdurham]

i like Jordin but i didnt like this performance of hers .. she didnt do the song justice

[thoramaAay]

in my opinion i found this song to be one of the only good covers !@

[THNswimmer11]

I could listen to her sing for an eternity and still be impressed. She's just great.

[kufanboy15]

dam she is sooooo tall for a woman! she looks almost 6 foot

[jogcrist]

doens't she look like a drag queen in those high heels!???? So tall!!

[irishsellerguy]

She was great, stupid judges!

[DooDaht]

It was one of her weakest performance but it was not as bad as the judges made it out to be

[raindr0pzz]

jordin sparks has an amazing voice,

but this kind of rock doesnt suit her, she needs a more stronger, huskier voice.

her voice suits pop, ballads, and r&b, not rock

[Bonnieb9292]

you killed that song girl

[ahadriz]

@Bonnieb9292 What ! you must be kidding !!

[Bonnieb9292]

what is wrong with Jordin Is very talented

[ahadriz]

@Bonnieb9292 this is hard rock song , needs stronger voice , got it ! and yes she is talented

[SorceressZila]

Livin' on a prayer, baby!

[hamidmushtaq]

Damn, here she sings even better than Bonjovi! Awesome cover!

[ahadriz]

@hamidmushtaq what are u talkin about people ,u probably listing to a lot of 50cent ..lol

[hamidmushtaq]

How tall she is. She is towering over the bassist and guitarist!

[heavenlyeve]

i'm not sure, but her dad was a professional football player, so she probably got the tall gene.

[boredoman]

Not a great performance. I agree with Randy and Jordin that the verses were rough (Like the way she admitted it, it was cute lol), VERY pitchy on the verses. I did like the high notes and the look. I only really saw one point where it was excessively shrieky.

Didn't think this was a horrible song choice, though. If she were more on pitch during the verses and maybe "softened" the song a bit it could've been fantastic.

[cjgj1991]

Well the song all around is hard I've been playing for 6 years and I'n not trying to be cocky but I'm good, but this song wasthe point my band wants to get butthe lyrics naturally are hitting highs to lows randomly she did need to be more shrieky it would of pull off the 80s sound but it hard be more pop and rb to go into 80 rock or even now. But she had her moment loved the look she did well for a rb/pop singer. Brave too to do it

[nayoung123]

can you guys sing half she does? jordin sparks rock baby!

[nayoung123]

it was not as good as bon jovi for sure, but even though she was awsome.. dont hate it people

[neonkid77]

that SUCKED YOU SUCK

[thorskizzle]

Pitchy. Totally ruined it for me.

[benjamingfink]

i also think for a girl this was an awesome job. i think those judges dont know anything. i play in a rock band and i'd love to have her sing in it. especially considering the music she does now it's pretty good

[benjamingfink]

i thought it was good. she must have forgotten about the key change for the last chorus because she definitely bombed that for about 3 seconds

[yappa08]

not bad, but not wonderful, doesn't really wow me.

[seank135]

Hated it, hated it, hated it, hated it, hated it.

[Wilhemet]

Kevin Borg did far better.

[KGproductions007]

she said: weve got to hold on to what we have,

its weve got to hold on to what weve got "/

[ransisua]

not good, but not bad either.

[surfr4lyfe0088]

she did a good job screwing up like the best song ever.

[gillisav]

from 2:44- 3:10 is reallly good

[JonathansGurl91]

she did awesomely ^_^

[DawnFan4ever]

at 1:36 she freakin' looks like a GIANT LOL

[falloutgirl118]

I agree.

[akira955]

2:44 looks like there about to go beat up the judges lol.......

[bossyrossy44]

that is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SelenaQueenOfAll]

you did a wonderful job

[SelenaQueenOfAll]

i love u jordin

[Shaq1137]

ZOMG <3

[cowomg22]

LOVE THE FRO!!!!

[c0ccaldera]

4:20

Heh.

Simon: Let's just cue the boos in advance.

[SoulAndRnBFan]

Haha. I LOVE the hair! Rock chick!!

[rearea718]

omg her hair haha!!!

[karo0990]

This song has parts that are really really good, and other that are a complete disaster. I prefer the studio version, it's much better!

[Bibledigger322]

She had the hair, but she couldn't hit the notes correctly. If she would have minded the pitch and length of the notes, she would have sung better.

[cjgj1991]

@Bibledigger322 See the thing about this song even as a inspiring artist myself, its a extremely hard song. The melodies and pitches are so twisted. she did well, but i dont think anyone could do it right. I can hit his low notesbut his high ones are pushed out, kind of the way daughtry does it but better, i like daughtry way of sing how he can contract and expand his voice like a rough versoin of bon jovi. anyways she didnt do too too bad but it not an easy song.

[girlzrokforever]

me and my mom are like jordin jordin like 1,000,000,000 times

[Bathead0040]

I didn't find this to be bad.

[cooporangelol]

@Bathead0040 Nor do i, it was fkin amazing, the judges weren't fair :o

[ClappingForChlamydia]

she has an amazing voice.

but rock isn't her thing. you can tell she seemed almost uncomfortable getting shadowed by the two guitarists.

good effort nonetheless.

[miarocksmorethanyou]

I wish I met bon jovi!

[stonash7]

i think she did well,i dont know why all of yall thought she blew it,have in mind she was just 17

[devorahacts]

Age has nothing to do with her performance. She just missed her homework and did something out of her range, both in vocals, and in skill.

[cjgj1991]

@stonash7 she did well but not so much to make me aww but everyone has to relize that just the melodies in thissong go from high to low so fast same with the music intrumental wise so she did good but I admitt I cant even sing this one perfectly.

[MOHRS03v2]

that last note gave me goosebumps..

[BellyButton3004]

eh?!! Her hair's amazing!!!!!

[louistenkorang14]

i know, its soo kool

[JordinSparksFan00]

SHE IS FANTASTIC

[lprrusso]

she is awesome

[apollo169]

bad hair or not, i thought she did da bomb

[alley4445]

and besides she won......

[alley4445]

she did a good job..... idk y u all bash her

[phunkLAMB]

she tried and she did a good job..... its not a kinda song she would sing... she still won... LOL!!!

[Blazencutie28]

oh shut up...she even admitted that was her bad week.

[liebeines]

i love her range of notes, even though this wasn't her best performance, but i liked it

[firesnake7810]

"But it was terrible to be honest with you."

Simon, those were the smartest words out of your mouth.

[amandalovestodance]

she is awsome

[rockandrolllover14]

i think for a girl singing a guys song that was good.

[mandm256]

wow that was really bad, she actually won? american idol is going downhill from here.......

[Aylafanandre]

This is probably her worst performance. But she stills does an okay job

[shyngo]

That says it all. This was a bit on the corny side, but it really wasn't that bad. Did somebody want Gina Glocksen to try this or something? Now that would be bad.

[HahaImCool05]

Well she took a risk by singing this song, dubbed the biggest song of the 80s by Vh1. Kinda like when Kelly Pickler sang "Bohemian Raphsody"...except Jordins actually good.

[hbotzong]

Her hair looks like crap. THis song is awesome and she RUINED it! she idolizes Christina Aguilera?! w/e she didnt deserve to win. it just that mostly teen girls are voting and she is there age

[Naroniel]

I agree...she ruined this song for me too... The coolest version ever of this song is by Stellar Kart. =P

Her hair makes me want to keep my hair in a tight ponytail. Blake was and is so much better!!

[trainboy07]

slaughtered it...

[XAfterShock08X]

SHE WON!

[MTA1966]

Liked her so far, but shocked she didn't go out after this performance. Thought it was really poor. Still think that she has some maturing to do, vocally, before she could win this. It has to be Melinda to win for me.........the woman cannot put a foot wrong for me - great voice that can sing anything!

[happiebunnie91]

hmmm i don't knwo what all you people are talking about saying she can't sing .. she is amazing and only 17 ... i hope i can sing half as good as dat at 17 .. i mean yer there were sum bum notes but everybody has thoses every now again ... i am like a huge bon jovi fan and to nme if ya gonna sing bon jovi ti has to be amazin nd i lvoed listenin 2 her sing it .. she sung it so welll nd tis such a difficult song to sing ... she's giot such talent

[dieselgq]

If America gets it right she will be the Next American Idol!! Lets see what America Decides to do!

[kaseypg]

I think the problem is not as much with her singing as the fact that her voice is not suited for this song.

[Koty948]

she sis sooo bad!

[tattibz4lyf]

she's very good at 17.. i think she'll be the winner for this season.

[cams000]

Yuck. Over confidence blew up on Jordin.

[dadofjerem]

It was a bad song choice.. period.

[JILZY]

She is amazing. She did a great job on this song. Tough song lovely look and voice.

[Juliette34]

wow,not her best,buteveryone has an off week...people,please.....pleas­e stop posting hateful comments about Jordin such as (fat cow)for example!She may not look like a barbie doll,but,this is not a beauty contest,its a singing contest,and Jordin is gonna win this year!!!!If not Jordin,Blake!Phil and Chris went bye,bye last night,just like i knew they would..Lakisha will probably be next,maybe melinda,who knows....it doesnt matter...dont get all bent out of shape,,,its just a TV show!!

[shannobi]

Lol. She wanted to start where Sanjaya left off. Way to handle the judges. :]

[yeahimadancer]

jordins one of my favorites. i dont think she did bad, because this was a really hard song to sing.

[xBriannagirlx]

it wasnt horrible but it wasnt great to me

to me it was just okay...i think shell be safe this week

[Buckfush]

I think the problem is not as much with her singing as the fact that her voice is not suited for this song.

[kaseypg]

I agree... oh ya and nice name FUCK BUSH!!!!!

[carbolfuschin]

it was bad, but i still love her

[dche30]

I thought that was f-ing fantastic!

[edmonton1199]

The first time ive seen her struggle with a tune. Not great hope she makes it through

[asif2224]

She had a few ok parts, but I have to say that that performance wasn't that great. She almost butchered this song which isn't cool cause this is still my fave Bon Jovi song and it's the song that got me hooked on them in the first place. But yea this just wasn't her best performance, that's for sure.

[MissMba]

That wasnt bad

[uberrios]

JORDIN SPARKS ROCKS!
