Melissa O'Neil - The Old Apartment

[davephillipsmusic]

I'll forgive her for 2 reasons: 1... she's fairly cute 2... nice re-arrangement at 2:34. I hope she appreciated the opportunity for coaching from the natural masters!

[JMGOODELL]

Good except where she says The Old "Apahtment". Is she from Boston? lol. I am from New England, but even I don't say it like that.

[angrius]

This is total fucking shit. This girl is going nowhere.

[angrius]

I'm Canadian and a musician. I'm sorry but this girl did not nail this in the least. It's god awful and there are a lot of singers who are a hell of a lot more talented than this bullshit. Just because it's a Canadian show doesn't mean it doesn't have to compete. I get so tired of seeing this mediocre garbage. It's boring and tired. There is zero energy in this performance. "I want em BACK". Ya nice growl. Sucks.

her vocals are weak. The feeling of the song is not passed through her vocals.

[angrius]

Okay seriously am I the only person that can be honest here? She has done a terrible job here singing this song. No real feeling and her pitch was off all through it.

[drew3486]

@angrius are you KIDDING me? what are you hearing?

[jordanadult]

wow, she killed it, lots of heart in it

[bigboylittle100]

i live in calgary and i swear to god she is my friend's sister

[Dicobit]

@bigboylittle100 It's true she looks still like somebody that begins to sing

not enough self confidence!! Fame is new for her and she can't handle it

and what is wrong is that she wants to handle it too much!!

[thiagodarkside]

She's Wonderfull Women!! . . I Love their So Much!! (from Brazil)

[karengurl101]

Given her age, I think she was able to interpret the song well.

[checkeredstripes]

I miss her.

[JamieIsHyper]

Aw, she's so lucky, I wish I could've met those guys :D I love this song, she did a good job with it :D

[cowboykitty454]

she killed it, complete respect

[shawkesy]

I didn't even know Canada had an idol show. She did really well with it. Is that Mike Tyson as a judge! lol

[geniusxkiller]

haha...he does look like Mike Tyson

[Torikins0]

Wtf? 90210? That's a random piece of trivia, for you.

[cupcake101]

She's so pretty here!!!

[700016597]

She is always pretty!

She is mint! I love her face so much!

Yours truly,

The Barenaked Ladies are Brilliant! And although I don't doubt that she's a good singer, this version doesn't compare to the original.

[superstarrun]

SHE IS SOOOO GOOD

[boycrazie4eva]

awsum cover : P

[Treefroggiefreak]

This was by far her best performance.

[chocolatecandi198]

does she even have a cd? i haven't heard anything from her after she won candian idol..

[crunkette]

She put out a cd, yeah. Right now I think she's in a production of Dirty Dancing in Toronto or something.

[ThreePeopleAreDead]

I really don't like Melissa O'Neil, but this is the best cover of the Old Apartment ever. v_v

[BiancaStDenis]

She was 16 when she auditioned for CI, but her bday is in the summer so she turned 17 during the competition

[noelward]

i think she was 16 when she was on

[jessica4eternity24]

i heard a man's voice singing with her in a part. anyone know who thatis?

[celestialxangel]

If I'm not mistaken, Barenaked Ladies did the backing vocals.

[soccerlover04]

How old was she in Canadian Idol?

[jessica4eternity24]

16 or 17

[soccerlover04]

This was one of my fav performences by her =D

[YosefArie]

I'm going to faint!!!! She's soooo good!!!

[scrubs023]

[potterizeme]
