Wow, I love how all these haters are here acting like they know what it takes to be a singer/performer. If you don't have the balls to even audition then just shut the fuck up!! You're not a judge so nobody gives a fuck what you think. I don't even watch american idol, but all these singers have made it on the show for a reason. They can sing. You can't. So shut the fuck up.
@TheVideocaf Let's see you get up there, hot shot. What's that? You're too old, can't sing and you have the charisma of a gold fish? Oh.... then shut the fuck up!
That was absolutely horrible; like fingernails on a chalk board!! Alaina didn’t do this song justice because she was too busy screwing around with the song. She sounded like she was in pain most of the time. I think for the most part she has a good voice and talent, but you just can’t mess with a classic that much and expect people to like it! Next time, do the song justice and forget about trying to make the song all about you and your voice. Make your next performance about the song instead!!
Nice kid, and she can sing, but this cover sucks. Everyone on A. I. trys to sing the crap out of songs, and that is what they look for, How about a great performance of a song instead if pounding the crap out of it? The band sucks here too.
Show me a good singer with an original song that makes me care and I'll watch this piece of crap show, otherwise it;s just a bunch of Mariah Carey/ Micheal Bolton wannabees just beating songs to death.
Excellent performance, but I hated the beginning. If she had started the first verse the way she started the second verse it would have been sooo much better. She has a lot in common with Carrie underwood.
Great talent. There is definitely still hope for her career. Many of the American Idol winners do not have long lasting careers now, and sometimes it's the runners up that end up lasting longer. Look at Adam Lambert, his career totally surpassed the winner of that season, I don't even remember the winner's name!
the only thing that got her in my opinion was the beggining and some of how she exteneded notes or w/e, she should have stuck to the original song more, the beat anyways. still amazing!
I thought she & this performance were amazing. She was the first in American Idol history to have of the most dramatic exits on this show, Alex Lambert coming in second when he didn't make the top 12....another one that should have. Very sad for both.
I love this performance and keep returning to it every once in a while! Her voice just sounds amazing!!! Wish she had made it farther than she did though...
Wow...........never seen this & I do watch idol somewhat ,cannot believe she didn't go far (or did she). On the strength of the note at 1.02 it does not get much better .
Her voice isn't all that true... she's trying to get a husky sound but all she does is go a little bit flat... it's good, but her natural voice would be much better than the nasty attempt at growling and flat tendency.
I listened to a couple of her songs, love 'em. She was born on the same month, day, and year as I was. 2/21/91 is my birth date, and so is Alaina Whitaker's :) She's a b-e-a-utiful singer. :D
She is a good singer. Later weeks, Simon's bad comment about her outfit and looking old fashioned didn't help. This was a great upbeat song. You Tube should put this in earlier pages, instead of in page 20.
@mcny40 I agree, we've never seen such a dramatic elimination up till that point. Another departure that comes just as close was when Alex Lambert left, another sad ending :(
If you listen to the song for the Idol Songwriter Competition "When You Come From Nothing" by April Taylor, the cover done for the competition sounds a lot like Alaina.
I can disagree slightly. She is a very good singer, but she definitely forces her voice which occasionally pushes her sharp, it can be quite jarring. Her real strength is as a performer, she looks like she belongs on stage.
she got voted off WAYYY to early! shes really amaizing! i think that her syesha carlie alaina and kady were the best girls! the best guys were david cook ofcourse he was david archuleta and michael johns! they all rocked! DC is my favorite guy and kady is my favorite girl! american idol season 7 was just AMAIZING! i loved it cant wait for season 8!
she compared to some ppl in the top 10 was way better!, she was better then these girls: rameille, kristy, and brooke even though brooke did GREAT in the concert! but a lot of these ppl just screwed up in the concert and alaina could have made it farther then them.
i like this girl, but she wasn't robbed THAT much. i could have seen her in it for another 2-3 weeks after she was voted off, but you can't honestly see her in say the top 5 or 4
brook um... not so sure about her but aliana the first time i heard her sing i was like woa... she has to win !!!! well at least she got as far as she did and this song was the song the made me feel like she was going to win for sure but poor aliana she did not win and poor kristy lee cook she soled her horse but i knew she would not win although i wish there could be like five winners aliana,kristy,david arculata if thats how u even spell it wich it isnt and well i guess only three winners !!!
Brooke already made an album. So did Kristy Lee Cook, Carly Smithson, David Cook, Micheal Johns, and a bunch of other people in American Idol! Not so much a amateur singing contest anymore, huh?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i might have A.D.D, but thats no reason to make fun of other peoples decisions! oh and btw that was my sister who wrote that. youse that little brain of yours, unless it hurts to, then don't even try
she and Carrie must be twins, they look and sound identical. the only reason I wouldn't want her to win is that you can't have 2 Carrie's winning, as amazing as she is, different people need a shot!
