Fantasia is tha onli 1 that sings this song tha best hence why she won idol that year..... veri1 has their opinions and mine is "this is Fantasias song hands down"!!!!!
If not my favourite song of all times, then definately one of my favourite songs ever .. Tamyra Gray is a genius ;)) Love the lyrics and the music..and the choir :***
You should make a quartett out of this - With Syesha and LaKisha ;))
@fbgrad07 thats not true......fantasia has better vocals than diana and doesn't sound screaming at all....its a shame you dont know a powerful voice when u hear one
These two sound great together and are the best Top 2 of American Idol history thus far. Season 3 was a great year for both, but Fantasia was more of an entertainer while Diana was a performer. It's true. Diana was only 16 here and Fantasia 19. I still think it's messed up that Fantasia won over Diana, but it's fair I guess because American Idol needed a soul singer that year and Fantasia was it. Diana was a vocal powerhouse, she didn't really have the whole package, They sound great together!!
Loved the video. I dont care what anyone else has to say cause they did their thing. Fantasia grew up singing this type of music and she rocked it. there was no surprise that she was gonna do her thing. their voices did go good together. people should quit tryna criticize one or the other and just say both did their thing! these were two different types of artists takin a song and doin it their own way together. i loved the performance. and thanks revaholic for the video.
It's been six years since these two competed in the Season 3 Idol Finale (Fantasia was 19 and Diana was only 16. Fantasia is now 25, and Diana 22). Their voices compliment eachother well, but I have to be honest. Diana struggled the most. Her voice was so buried underneath the heavy beat of the chorus and the powerhouse choir, that Diana strained and lost complete control. I heard she sick, the night she sang this too...whereas Fantasia, growled powerfully and was flawless. Great, overall!!
I appreciate both singers. I do believe if Diana had gone up against another finalist she would have probably won. Fantasia gave a performance that demanded attention. She has much better stage presence. So after it is all said and done, Fantasia wins because she out performed Diana.
@Jameela2890 I agree, Fantasia did out sing her. Her performance includes her singing. I was simply mentioning how Fantasia's complete performance made her the obvious winner. The judges were impressed with her from day one. Fantasia is an excellent performer with an outstanding voice.
Was it just me, or was Diana's last note out of tune. I mean both of them had some pitch issues, but the last note....mmh mmh mmh. I felt bad for her she was so cute.
ok, ok, at first I'm like, "Oh, dear GOD, whyi n the HECK did this joker mesh these two performances together??" But after listening a little further into it, I guess the two voices had the POTENTIAL to sound decent-maybe even recordable(?) Ok, that's a stretch, but I learned a valuable lesson here: Listen, then critique. You might end up putting your foot in your mouth, but that's why God made mouthwash, isn't it? :)
@ fbgrad07.Fantasia has other jobs Color purple is of them she is still making her own money. Secondly Diana has a new cd? I never heard of it. Now don't get me wrong I think Diana did a great job but she did not do better than Fantasia, I know you are probably white, and I am just saying that every time a black goes up against a white some racist has to say the black was terrible, but come on Diana didnt do that song I believe the justice that Fantasia did.
Syesha Mercado sang it well. The best version in my opinion is Diana's Encore version! 2nd is Syesha 3rd is Rachelle then only Fantasia... You guys love Fantasia's version maybe because of the HIGH NOTE at the songs That "Higher,HIgher,higher, Higher,HIGHER"...Rachelle Ann can Do the same thing.
i think they wrote this song cause she was a fantasia fan. this song is kinda for her voice i love diana degarmo in my heart i believe she should of won
Oh right...sorry, season 3 was so long ago I kinda forgot sorry....but yeah no way should Latoya have gone before Jasmine, that's what was even worse.
Fantasia's vocals are more powerful. Diana was relegated to the background towards the end. It was as if she knew it and was trying to compete with Fantasia to prove otherwise.
Not exactly. Because they were not singing with each other(if you look carefully you'll see that the lighting during the shots of Diana is red while the lighting throughout the shots of Fantasia is blue)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
They sound really awesome doing this duet, but it's like ridiculous because it caused Diana's vocals to fall short when Fantasia overpowered with screaming. Stupid!
Diana should have put on a choir robe and sang with the choir because ummm...Fantasia STOLE the show!! I'm sure Diana would've sounded great by herself..but she sounded like somebody trying to do karaoke with the full version, lol. I was like What is that noise? smh AI knew better. Kudos tho'!
They sound really good together! However I know for a fact that a duet of them with Diana's encore performance from the Grand Finale nite would be better. Diana and Fantasia both sang better the Grand Finale night when the winner was announced, and they both performed this song that night as well. Could you possibly do a duet version of their performances from that night?
The ending is amazing. The different styles they use to sing the songs form so well there. It seems as if it were a real duet. I love the both of them. That was a hard final for me to pick a favorite. All in all though man props for this video. You did a very very good job.
is this just dianas voice being mixed up into one of fantasias videos and fantasias voice mixed into dianas video??? becaude there is no point in the video where they are both together
diana has the nice voice than fantasia diana can reach the high notes
