I think that was a big song for her to try and take on. She sings great but, she doesn't feel the emotions of her songs. I think she worries about her vocals and notes. Which I will add she never sings flat. I think Karyn would be happy about her performance, but I cant say P version is better.
@HummerAli09 I would have to agree with you. She needs to FEEL... more angry. There's needs to be more 'mental' interpretation rather than just 'singer' interpretation. Like Heather Headley's watch?v=BWrBOozd9Ng

shes very inspirational ... to those with talent ... but are not sure of your outside apperance.. she went from plain TYPICAL fijian tooo a STUNNING BLACK FIJIAN WOMAN !!! you the bomb paulini love you !!
Paulini ive followed since she was in NZ before Australia ever knew of her name.... She has amazing talent (im not Fijian either) but it's a real shame to find this bitching goin on here when we just come here to enjoy her singing, minus the breathing flaws. Get a life and a Brazilian if you wanna scream at one another!
Although I probably would have noticed it on my own...you brought her breathing to my attention sooner....and it bothers me. Still a great singer, but she will definitely need to work on that.

she suxx at singing. but this is actually a good song. shes talking about breakfast...but ur missing the deeper meaning. shes trying to say she does all this stuff for him cause she loves him and hes neglecting her...she just wants him back. but this girl really ruined this song.
Alicia Keys song "Superwoman" is much better. And why is she just talking about breakfast in the beginning? And the complaints from the breakfast too. She probably does suck at making breakfast cause she does at singing.
I know Karen White sang the song (and did a great job with it), but she is NOT the origanl. Do YOUR research. Look up Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight, and Dionne Warwick. The three of them actually sang it first. Karen White was the first to release it as a single. It was written by Babyface and L.A. Reid. Oh yeah, I still stand by my last comment. This is a GrEaT rendition!!!
Boring - she massacred a classic. Paulini has no idea what the song is about - it's about a woman that is being neglected by her man. Paulini seemed more interested in vocal acrobatics than conveying the emotion needed for the song. Listen to the Karen White version, that's what you call raw emotion and pain.
The breathing was definitely annoying at first, but as the song went on, she impressed me! She can sing...but Heather Headley did a better job covering it.
to the bitch who said it was distracting with her breathing yeah TEM20 yeah shut up u jst wish u where like her aight TEM20 jst coz she got a mean voice and being famous aye thats why you said it was distracting aye!!!!!!
This doesn't even touch the emotion and power that Karyn put in the original. She needs to control her breathing. But I still think she should have won her season of Idol because she's still a hell of a singer.
favorite theme song to all of the boys that i happened to loved.... naks it sounds to many but the truth is i just dedicate that song to my one and only true love my honey ALFRED ATIDO
Damn girlll.... Hold up peoples... How can you compare her to karen white... She sang a cover of the song... She hit all the notes and she ripped that up!!1 And ricki lee... OMG guys, no matter how much I like Ricki ... she would not have been able to hit those high notes that Paulini AND emily can hit
I think people who think it's better than Karyn's didn't hear it back in 89 when it was fresh and fantastic. Also maybe sounds better on the album but Karyn's version is better fo sho!!still Luv Paulini though
She's good but I still think Karen White's version is better. Why are there so many remakes of the old songs nowadays? Where's the creativity? I'm starting to realize the old tunes were more melodic than now. But the quality of sound is much better now.
This is fantastic. There's no point in comparing it to the Disney bland-ness of karyn whites version - they are worlds apart. Paulini puts so much earthy emotion into this it makes it worth listening to.
sorry i think Paulini does it better.she is very marketable.i think if she was not in the young divas they will not be famous like now.WELL DONE PAULINI.I ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST FAN[Navi]
Correction - Ricki Lee made The Young Divas.. Ricki and Kate are the only ones that have any personality and wit.. The other 2 have vocal ability (Emily more so than Paulini) but the personality of a paper bag..
why does someone always have something negative to say about people following there dream.... i mean her album which sold an actual 10,000+ copies **get ur numbers right sweetie** is 10,000 more than ur nonexistent album did. instead of hating on people doing bigger and better than u be happy for them.... geez.
Paulini's 1st album did ok though HOLDUPVOLUP.#1 and 9 wks in Top 50.Far better than Ricki's have ever done.Ricki's 2 albums have only spent 2 wks in Top 50 each,highest position #30.Her fans multiple buy her singles in their debut wk to get them high. Last 2 singles had huge drops in their 2nd wks.Its bums on seats at concerts and ALBUM sales which spell real success.Neither of them have managed that lately.Come to think of it solo Ricki never has.Reality check HOLDUP.You badly need it. lol.
How anyone could think Karyn White's performance of this song was better I'll never know... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkmj8OZeNfw *cringes* lol
overall, this performance was a star!!!!!!!!! i have to say that she should've won australian idol, and i prefer her to win the comp. i was so sad to see her leaving on it takes two. i want to see more of her. go paulini. you're the best singer!!!!!!!!!
I still got the shirt Paulini signed for me! She was really nice =)

Very maketable? I'm confused, where is your evidence for that.
Her last album sold a sorry 500 copies.
I guess she's very "marketable" to her 500 friends and family... pathetic.
And as a solo artist hasn't charted in a while.
However Ricki-Lee is on FIRE.
So Navi you should really stop listening to TRANNIES sing and listen to more MARKETABLE, TALENTED and HOTTER singers!
