  • OH my my my my my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • HER EP RELEASE IS THIS MONTH GUYS!!! JAN 24!!!!!!!!!

  • Poor girl came after Fantasia..the yr they decided/realized theyd never give another blk girl r&b singer a win/contract becus not enuff ppl buy their albums...

  • @dmann3g I don't wanna say that as a matter of fact but its possible thats how it played out. She's just too amazing tho her time is coming REAL SOON!

  • @dmann3g You do realize that Jordan Sparks is black, right?

  • I stopped watching American Idol after Vonzell didn't WIN SEASON 4 because Carrie was not the better singer on the show. Vonzell has the stage presence and the "VOICE"!!! This performance was GREAT and she constantly had GREAT PERFORMANCES!!!

  • SHE SHOULD HAVE WON AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 4. (:

  • Better than Dionne Warwicks version.. I love it

  • Comment removed

  • the ending is amazing! just 2 words hold on sang so well!!!

  • Hát hay quá :*

  • vonzell i`m never boring to listen and watch you^^

  • love vonzell she should have won or atleast made the finals!

  • so bad

  • I want to see what their feedback was after this FLAWLESS performance & vocal. I can't remember what they said that night. QUEEN VONZ!

  • @antyfreeman2008 They said that it was really pitchy!!! I couldn't believe it! They said she was nervous which made her loose her pitch.. I couldn't disagree more.

  • @kbaker2011 I know. I always LOVED her and her song choices. Shes gorgeous and can sing. The judges are stupid

  • darius rucker is a black country singer

  • Vonzell has such a clear voice with beautiful tone. Her voice is never overpowering and she never oversings...a nice lyrical soprano voice

  • To dman3g - I don't agree with you totally. LOL is there a country singer who is black??? It's not racism, it's all about great talent and x factor. I don't think Vonzell has great voice knowing she did some kinda pitchy performances, she just got a sweet personality, impeccable range which made her deserved in the top 3.

  • Also, Simon really disliked her mainly because the previous female black alumni in past seasons didn't really give good sales in their record albums or how good they were after Idol like Tamyra, Latoya and Fantasia which Simon really liked them during the competition but when they faced the true competition which is the real world music industry, they did not give good feedback. For me, I believe AI is about great or has fair talent + x factor or pretty looking + marketability of genre

  • Yep, Fantasia got enough album sales worldwide after releasing her I Believe but I think consumers now are wiser. Since Fantasia, Tamyra and Latoya have same genre - there are so many great voices, pretty looking and especially modern style in their voices like Beyonce, Rihanna, etc. which these female black AI alumni got common style in their voices. Check out AI alumni album sales in wikipedia - there's a list there.

  • I did not like Carrie during season 4 because I don't like country music and vocally she was just fair although she got kinda high range but she's prettier than Vonzell. Now I realized that in the US country music is very marketable and AI really got big money during Carrie's very successful album sales. Same thing with Kelly, she has great style in her voice which is not common and her genre was pop alternative rock something like that which is not common too.

  • For me, in season 4, Simon's favorite was Nadia Turner because vocally she was good but I think her facial expression when she performs made her voted out.

    I believe Simon is really fair is judging. Like in the case of Melinda, she really praised her in season 6 because she was really vocally sensational even though she looks like Shrek lol.

  • I don't think the white people don't buy black cds. I believe they were used to buy, jaded because most great singers in the US are black although the blacks are just only 10 percent of the population. The whites or other races are choosy, smart and already set a high standard of sense of musicality after Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, etc.

  • One more thing, Jennifer Hudson was voted off because her style in her voice was like broad way and kinda pitchy too during season 3 although she has bigger voice quality. She was a big star now after gotten best supporting actress in Dreamgirls. Lucky for her she gotten the role after the audition and did fairly in the movie.

    Please check the videos of the names I mentioned above and compare.

  • SHE SHOULD GET simon to SIGn her TO SYCO RECORDS AND BUILD ON HER AUDIENCE OVERSEAS. cause over here we are apparently paying attention to something else!  otherwise she would have an album out now.and she would have some hits ,because her voice is awesome!!

  • I listened to the original version of this song, and, I must say, Vonzell did an AMAZING job. This is not an easy arrangement, and I feel she had a near flawless vocal! I'm not sure what "pitchy" parts some people are referring to. This girl was really marginalized on that season...nothing against Carrie, but Vonzell was in a league of excellence all her own!

  • @Kreemy204 They called Vonzell out for being pitchy on a performance about 6 wks prior to this, so everyone who was so dead on Carrie winning just ran w it as the reason she shouldn't win..regardless of the performance.

  • i so love 1;28-1;30. No they were not racist. Vonzell got an incredible range but sings kinda pitchy. Simon admired some black singers in the early seasons like in season's 1 Tamyra Grey and La toya London in season 3 who were really flawless vocalists

  • @nikaledesma But he saw how "America' wouldn't buy Fantasia n Ruben's CDs. n made sure he wouldnt have the same problem again. Sit back n think honestly, if Carrie was black, would she be as successful as she is now, even though she can sing her face off??? Exactly..it is what it is..

  • I REMEMBER THIS NIGHT I WATCHED IT CLIVE DAVIS DIDNT THINK SHE DELIVERED A GOOD PERFORMANCE BECAUSE SHE WAS SMILING THE WHOLE PERFORMANCE AND HE SAID IT WASNT A TRUE HONEST PERFORMANCE BEAUSE OF IT OR SOMETHING LIKE IT. NONTHELESS SHE KILLED THIS VOCALLY AND THE NEXT DAY SHE GOT VOTED OFF

  • This was easy for her --she sings much better everyday--songs she likes --her white cousin Carl has it all on tape ..

  • Comment removed

  • regine's version is much better than this. plsss be honest to yourself even regine v. is from the philippines no doubt that regine rules this songs.

  • The brazialian singer,Thalita Pertuzzatt,sings this song much better than Vonzell

  • Maravilha!!!Para interpretar esta música precisa estas amando, mais nada!!

  • Thalita Pertuzzatti brasileira é a melhor a cantar essa musica....

    desculpa pelo comentario, mas é a pura verdade,,,,,

  • @eliezer265 CONCORDO QUE A THALITA MANDA BEM MELHOR QUE ESSA AMERICANA, ISSO MOSTRA QUE NO BRASIL EXISTE GRANDES CANTORES. SO FALTA O RECONHECIMENTO DA MÍDIA E DO PÚBLICO.

  • Although I loved the song were there any more words to the song. Yes Regine has an excellent voice and sing the song with more words but both ladies did an awesome job singing the song.

  • Comment removed

  • @earlbeau Dude shut the fuck up.

  • Comment removed

  • Até a thalita pertuzzaty cantou melhor que ela nusss..!

  • REGINE VELASQUEZ? id rather listen to mahal

  • @rustancoffee eeewww!:)) you got a bad taste!:)) hohoho!:)) LOL

  • She does a great job in this song. Hey, try Regine Velasquez's version of this song it's also superb!

  • @gentalkorion I just did on your suggesthion and....oh please. Regine sucks. She doesn't come anywhere close to Vonzell's version.

  • why isn't she famous? I don't understand. She's sooo good.

  • @kosmikwinds cause her one album sucks...she's an incredible singer...unfortunately got pulled into the wrong management...

  • @LifeintheformofSean she actually made that album before idol and put it on itunes after. Although I do think the first album wasn't even bad her music has still gotten A LOT better. Check out her song Dirtbag, for example. She's trying to get her new material out but management was was holding her back. Now she's finally trying to do her own thing. That's why it's taking a while for her to get out there. I have tons of faith in her though

  • Amazing :)

  • I think i may go to ms. regine velasques a filipina asias SONGBIRD hehehe sorry guys. i dont like u hahahaha peace..

  • Regine Velasquez? Hahaha...What a joke! a shrieking and generic unknown singer who tries to hard to be Whitney and MAriah

  • @jop03mbk shrieking? What about your Siti and Jaclyn? Yuck. Regine is 10x better. And she sings Mariah and Whitney because the people request it- before you call her a wannabe listen to her own original songs you can find.

  • @jop03mbk Really? you say Regine as shrieking and generic unknown singer??? whatta!!! you can't even sing!:)) it just shows that you guys there are intimidated by Regine's high power notes when she sings:) That's all, thank you!:) ;)) :D :p

  • @earlbeau Regine sucks ass.

  • @earlbeau I love how we don't gon on Regine's page bashing her all the time cuz we KNOW Vonzell is better and we are too busy hitting the replay button on vonzell's vid to even think about some silly worthless girl named Regine. Your retarded ass keeps coming on Vonzell's page bashing her because you know Vonzell is better than Regine. Hell you've spent more time on Vonzell's vid than Regine's! GET A LIFE!

  • @CultureAddict26 really???????? hey idiot, i don't come here to play and listen vonzell's crash-landing voice, and why would i ever do that?????? hohohoho!:)) you bastard!:D hohohoho!;)) over my dead body that i fucking spent time on vonzell's vid than regine:)) maybe you do bcoz she's your idol!:)) american fucking idol;)) hohohohoho!:)) LOL:D >>>by the way, this comment is not counted on number of views to vonzell's views, replying to comments doesn't automatically add to the number of views:D

  • @earlbeau Stalker stalker stalker. You just can't stay off Vonzell's page huh? LMAO! You don't have to pretend you are arguing me just to make an excuse to listen to this amazing song.

  • Regine Velasquez is better than this rendition.

  • @earlbeau who?!

  • @earlbeau FALSE

  • @CultureAddict26 of course you are false! Regine has higher notes on this song. take a look on Vonzell at 1:26 as you can hear her, she can't reach higher than that, but Regine's version is much higher than that;)

  • Oh how I loved that little inflection (run) she did at 1:20 - 1:21. That was so Whitneyesque. Vonzell was easily may fav that season. It was a travesty she didn't at least make it to final two but I really thought she should have won.

  • Vonzell killed this vocal..it was simply timing..and after Ruben and Fantasia..no 1 expected her to sell..eventho she couldve outsold both of them..terrible situation...such a beauty

  • This is 1 of the best vocals AI has ever seenl..but unfortunately there was no1 checkin for a black female after Fantasia and Ruben didnt sell big...she was a casualty, and its terrible because her vocal ability is out of this world

  • Is it the video? Is it just me? Or was she really out of tune on this one?

  • @zayatz Its just you!!

  • @zayatz IT must be ur video becus she murdered this vocal

  • @zayatz ... oh... she's off...

  • @crv200808 Its okay to prefer Carrie or Bo...just dont come heare acting like V wasnt a sick vocalist

  • @zayatz

  • out of tune

  • Im in love... lol

  • where is the song draw down?

  • She should have beat Carrie HANDS DOWN! Vonzell would wipe the floor with ALL of those contestants tht year lol

  • @ChristianBoy16 hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahah

  • Ugh it just pisses me off everytime I watch more of her videos because she should have fucking won, I don't give a crap what anyone else says. Ew, this show sux now ever since the season with kATHERINE Mcphee lame ppl always win and the good ones get voted off early and its stupid.

  • The version of Jasmine Trias is the BEST!

  • Poor Vonzell just came too late..no one was checking for a black singer after both Ruben and Fantasia failed to compare to Kelly Clarkson's sales...yet every1 decides to ignore the fact that white ppl, the majority of the AI audience, and the country, rarely buy R&B music

  • @dmann3g You are so right!

  • youll love it peace.

  • hey try listen Regine Velasquez :ill never love this way again"

  • interpretação mecanica

  • ela canta até bonzinho, o que ela tem falta na Thalita, mas isso não é problema pq aprender outra lingua não é coisa de outro mundo, mas cantar como a Thalita é realmente impossivel!!!

  • shes has a great voice...she should have w0n!!!!

  • nossa vc precisa ouvir thalita pertuzzatti cantando I'll Never Love This Way Again ai vc aprende como canta com coração, não que vc seja ruim mas depois de ouvir a thalita fica dificil gostar de outra versão bjs

  • nossa vc tem que ouvir a thalita pertuzzati cantando essa musica para aprender

  • regine just nailed his song out!

  • My fave Idol and Idol performance in the history of the show

  • @dmann3g the best performance has to be by thalita pertuzzatti from brazil... aside from the language barrier, she's phenomenal.

  • She looks and sounds..the way Kelly Rowland should sound

  • @dmann3g thats so true!! lol

  • I love her voice and emotion so much, now way she should have been voted off. IF it was not the year after Fantasia won, I guarantee the outcome would have been different. They Just couldnt have Three African-American win back to back to back!

  • Baby V!!!! Where did you go!?!?!? We miss you! I live 45 minutes from Ft. Meyers, and I still hear nothing. I don't get it. You were AMAZING!!!!! People who were FAR inferior to you have CD's out, and you don't? It's not fair!

  • @LushedMonkey She has an album coming out this summer and released a single called dirtbag available to download on itunes and cdbaby. She just released it not too long ago. She's about to make it big if her fans show strong support her.

  • In retrospect it should have come down to her and Carrie...would have been a sick final 2!!! She just didn't have that certain star quality Bo and Carrie possessed.

  • @dman747707 - she had it, but after ruben n fantasia, ther was no chance of a black singer inning..nuthin to do w the race card, they just werent tryin to go there..esp when they had Carrie who could actually sing and came from the country scene..a scene that actually stills buys albums..my main prob was with how they had to discredit Vonz, to make sure Carrie won..but Vonz could be a broadway star all day..she has the CONSISTENT goods

  • she has a song on itunes called dirtbag and lemme tell u it is such an amazing song! just check it out!

  • her vocal control is sweet! she goes high and low so easy!

  • Go to my channel if you want to listen to her new songs.

  • you did a really good job with that, and that song is not that easy... in fact, hard so more congrats!!!!

  • Very Good!!!!

  • Superb! 5 stars!

  • she was really good

  • why are we comparing people on her video...kudos to vonzell she sung this very well.

  • i remember vonzell, what ever happened to her? i haven't hear anything from her. she has a brilliant voice. beautiful <3 one of my fav on a.i. 4

  • she's working on her album now

  • I have a demo she album she was pushing....she did a lot of appearances after she left AI....have u heard her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner?? Look it up....she's the biz...

  • Seriously and stop denying this- Regine did this song better.

  • regine velasquez version is far better than this..

  • why didnt she make the top 2!!

  • One thing i like about Vonzell is that she sings with alot of emotion.Hell i thought i'd never love that way again,lol HAHAHA

  • hahahaha, right!

  • it is really good

  • watch Regine Velasquez' version and see...

  • This is much better than regine's

  • see an ENT doctor, might have ear problems...

  • Ok. if that will make you happy.

  • it would, as a matter of fact.

  • @davidako2001 LOL! this piece of crap. . . . . . . . . . . .hahahahaha LOL! peace. . . . . . . they have different key arrangement. . . . . and regine's much higher in key and has good fermata. . .

  • @MsLies666 you aren't Regine, don't act so cocky comparing them. If Regine is humble enough not to brag about her talent then you should be the same.

  • @davidako2001 MUCH better!!!!

  • actually Vonzell Sounds why better then Kelly Rowland...

  • Yea she does, but this is the way Kelly should sound.. and I like Kelly

  • ATT TO ALL listen to the version in 1988 by DIONNE put in the song and then the year 1988 ater and u tell me if DIONNE aint OWN IT I BET ANYTHING ON IT

  • THE BEST VERSION IS Diones ill never love this way again 1988 WOW WOW WOW SHE OWNS IT. ITS a chiller

  • She reminds me of Kelly Rowland. She sounds like her too.

  • i said the exact same thing

  • Her voice is so beautiful when it hits the chorus.

  • A very elegant dress I must add...

  • My call on the Top 3 in this season (4) was VONZELL should have been given a slot in the Final Two and was torn between Carrie and Bo for the other one. HONESTLY. Just my opinion. Please don't hate.

  • my my my how I miss hearing vonzell every week

  • I like this better than Jasmine T's version.

    However I didn't like the time when she down her head like that. I think it's over reacting. 1:59

  • she's pretty

  • She should have won or at least in the Final 2.

  • absolutely

  • @michaelangelo21 Completely agree!

  • that was nice!!!...what season is this..and whatever happend to her?

  • Season 4. She's started her own record label and her album should be coming out this fall.

  • AMAZING, SHE IS GREAT...

  • That was simply brilliant. A very nice version.

  • one of the best american idols their is she a winner hands down now matter what

  • Vonzell is just wonderful and I would definitely purchase her CD when available. Awesome. Where is she now?

  • She's working on an album now.

  • really?

  • i think she is the most beautiful contestant to ever grace that stage...where is she now?

  • @teach1982 Katherine Mcphee gets my vote

  • @lpvcrcd then u clearly have to be racist, katherine sang it flat, souless, and emotionless.

  • omg, looke at her teeth!lol she's gorgeous! and sing it!!

  • never heard this song sung better by anyone..just incredible, thank you vonzell

  • try listening to dionne warwicks version.

  • TELL ME about it lol did you here the 1 from 1988 juz listen to that 1 gives me chills

  • @bealili Dionne rules

  • she did that!

    haters fall back

  • try dessa.

    her version is so so so...

    brilliant...

  • I love the way she says "Never". It's beautiful.

  • "Before the good is gone"

  • She should have won season 4, but i also love carrie.

  • She should have been in the top 2 with Carrie Underwood

  • she is also my one of the Favorites. Jasmine Trias,has a nice version too.Both of them are my idols!!!!!Go Vonzell and Jasmine trias!!!

  • True. I'm not a Jasmine fan, but I can say that she, Diana, and Jen were the best that week
