  • omg goose bumps! damn girl..

  • amazing ♥♪

  • Well, Ive heard many covers of this song and all of them are crap, I swear when i heard this little girl, some tears appeared in my face, this is the only cover that I can heard again and again and again. Please Bianca Re-born the rock for the world, its in your hands babe. And Sorry for the bad english but I am mexicano.

  • SHE IS SOOO TALENTED but she ruined this song wi the scream at 1:10 :|

  • WOW!!! Janis Joplin is back!!!! Recife Brasil.

  • Y love you.

  • Stunning...Janis LIVES!!! How the heck does someone this age get that across? I am also in my 60s...she's a reincarnation! Hope to goodness she comes to a much better end,,,

  • I'm 59. This gift from above could easily put out an album of her take off Janis Joplin songs. It would be better than Janis' and it would sell! Quick and easy money. For her.

  • She's like 12 years old here, so probably not on the Jack.

  • @JStephs1950 southern comfort was her vice.. but I'm not gonna deny this girl's talent :)

  • Yah but can she finish a bottle of Jack?

  • @ 1:14 Such a horrible scream!! Possibly ruined the entire song.

  • @culex09 it's sorta scripted into the song...

  • This blew my mind.

  • omg this bianca girl is so talented

  • Genuine. 

  • The judges made one big mistake. This song is not just right for Bianca, she is the bloody reincarnation of Janis Joplin. Let's hope she doesn't fall to the drugs her previous incarnation did.

  • She is SO good, she doesn't needs shoes! ^_^

  • Hola soy de Panamá, adoro a esta chica canta superrrrrr superrrrrr lindo que voz y un carisma tan linda. Bianca eres una super estrella.....Panamá te quiereeeeeeeee. Saludos

  • If you dont believe in reincarnation after watching this , guess you never will , Little girl does Janis better then Janis did !

  • Although I think this performance was great and the judges were wrong to say it wasn't, still, if she'd stayed with this style, she might not have won in the end. Fortunately, the public saved her to go on to the next round. She listened to the judges and her winning performance was terrific also. She can also go back to this style later if she wants to. It's not like what the judges said was written on two tablets and delivered from a mountaintop.

  • cld shoot the jurors after this one. Clearly her voice is made for this kind of music. Don't force her into the pop scene.

  • Amazing singer. however noone can outdo Janis but this is amazing.

  • Janis would be proud. 

  • Janis is here ;oo

  • man, i just cried.

  • Her range is not human. It's scary.

  • well damn .

    i'm pretty sure a baby is born every time she sings somethinq .

  • shes amazing shes gonna make it far! ..... and whoever dislikes her have you ever had a dream i mean seriously look into your heart shes probably more talented than you'll ever be!

  • she was not screeching ,,,,,piers does not know talent like that ,and he is a snob ,, this was the best i ever heard bianca sing and still is ,,,,, if they let her ,,and i don't think they will ,, she would likely be one of the very best entertainers the us has ever had ,,, but ,,money rules ,and she will likely sing what makes money for others

  • She IS Janis!

  • Bianca sings this better than Janis Joplin and better than anybody on this planet

  • Dios es la reencarnación de Janis Joplin, sencillamente excepcional,

  • ergasm!!!

    

  • ergasm!!!

  • holy shit!!! this girl just blow my mind out!!!

  • I have to disagree with the...."professional" jury...she sings it in a style of her own and stil keeps the spirit and pain of the song in its place...keep it up

  • okay i love her nerve. and she has a great voice!!! but the only thing i really hate is what she did to that song. she killed it. i mean she sang it great but it was beautiful origionally.

  • i want a daughter like that *o*

    omg, i love her, shes the rencarnation of janis

  • amazing!!!!!nobody takes on janis joplin and rocks it...except bianca ryan finds a way to do it!!!!

  • Whats wrong with judges? I was blown away, Ive never seen such a young girl perform like this..

  • Janis would love this.

  • What a voice!! Amazing

  • Wow better than the original. She is amazing

    Mooz

  • 60 is the new 20, so remember never to trust anyone over 70, which is the new 30

  • Bianca fans are all ages there are registered members on Bianca's forum from 12 to 75,I too am 60,Bianca's music has no age boundary's

  • @moomay11649 MY GRANDMA SAID AT 84 YEARS YOUNG, "MIKEY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS TO BE 84 YEARS OLD?", ANS..! "NOT YET GRANDMA..!" SHE REPLIED, "ITS TO BE 18 AND LOCKED UP IN A 84 YEAR OLD BODY, GOD DAMN IT..! HA, HER LIBEDO KILLED MY GRAND DAD..! I'M 61 GOING ON 18 NOW MYSELF, I HEARD JANIS JOPLIN SING THIS LIVE IN FRANKFORT GERMANY, BIANCA IS NOT JANIS JOPLIN BUT JANIS TIPS HER HAT AND SEES BIANCA ARE HER EQUAL...!  ONE THING THOUGH, JANIS WAS NOT A HAPPY CAMPER, BIANCA IS.! BIANCA=FAITH.

  • @moomay11649 Yep...I disagree with judges...this was a fantastic performance. Girl can sing the phone book.

  • Es maravillosa su voz y también lo es su interpretación. ¡Fantástica!

  • Good God, she is an absolute phenomenon.

  • Check my interpretation of this song on Serbian version of Got Talent, by typing "Ja imam talenat Ognjen Vuletić, 14 godina" :)

  • This girl Rocks !!!

  • oh my

  • oh my GOD, perfect <3

  • ♥

  • I would pay for this.. awsome personality as well

  • SHE IS AWSUM! A real Philly girl!

    Mooz

  • Damn she is awesome...

  • Totally AWSUM!

    MOOZ

  • She is amazing! U go Bianca!! U sing better than some of the pros!!

  • her voice is so low!

  • FAN-TAS-TIC!

  • IO'm not a big fan on her dancing 0_0

  • Janis Joplin would be proud

  • She's not covering Janis Joplin, she's covering Erma Franklin, Aretha's sister. Erma was the first to record "Piece of My Heart" long before Janis Joplin was on the scene. Erma's version is "Before They Were Hits. Vol 1. and can also be found here on You Tube.

    I know, most people know this song by Janis Joplin, but I always go by who did it first[in this case Erma Franklin], even if they're not well known.

  • Erma was the first to record it, yes, but comparing Bianca's performance to Erma and Janis's, I'd have to say she's covering Janis more than Erma.

    There's a very notable difference between Janis and Erma and Bianca's style resembles Janis more.

  • Well, Bianca is fabulous no matter who's songs she covers. I've watched her videos of her covering Taylor Swift, and accompaning herself on guitar, and in some cases, she does them better than Taylor herself(and she, too, is a h*** of an artist)! Bianca is also a talented guitarist, too. She plays really well.

  • @freakinpoet76 I totally agree!! And, hey, Charice--why don't you give this song a try and be sure to put that much emotion and style into it when you do.

  • this song has been sang at my bar a million times but i would kill for someone to sing it like her!!

  • Hahahahahaha!!!

    What a great comment!

    Mooz

  • i like faith hills better, but she did good

  • i love how she sings but honestly i dont think she sang this song very well. i think she could hv done better. or maybe this just wasnt the right song for her. but besides this she sings BEAUTIFULLY!! :)

  • i wish i could sing like you ,

  • wow

  • She is perfect in every way.

    I am 60 y.o. and I have her CD's.

    Moomay

  • Shes a right little performer!! xD

  • Piers your completely wrong, This girl has an amazing! Maybe this isnt her correct tone but hai, She still blew away the audience!

  • fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • envy....

  • Incredible!

    Mooz

  • I love you Bianca!

    you or my life ♥

  • where on earth do they breed kids like this these days??

  • This kid takes two of the most difficult songs ever recorded and performs them perfectly. Beautiful with amazing talent and an adorable personality.

  • @waketheoblivious besides she's awesome she's white [no racist] but for white people is hard to sing those notes sometimes she's so talented

  • Bianca canta espectacular aquí, he comparado con la original y su versión es magnifica, los jueces están locos.

  • binaca is really a good singer......she sings high notes like the other singer but i think her style of singing is kinda old...old ways.... and her pronunciation of the songs is not clear....but she has a good voice

  • Well. "MagandaPhilippines", the reason she sounds like that is because she is doing the song the same way Janis would have done it. Miss Joplin was not always easy to understand and she sometimes slurred her words. Bianca is staying "true to form" here and doing a real good impersonation of Janis Joplin, and having fun while she is doing it. Not bad for an eleven year old, huh??!!

  • It always makes me wonder what these people are talking about I can clearly understand everything Bianca's singing,there are other super stars that I've never been able to figure out without looking up the lyrics,Elton John for one If it weren't for the computer I would have never known what the hell he was sing about,even with it I still sometimes wonder

  • I think Bianca is better than Janis Joplin with this song.

    She is much more animated.

    I am almost 60 y.o. and I watch this every day.

    Thanks for posting it.

  • i think bianca can't be better than janis...because janis wrote the song...janis feelings are in this song....sow...it's janis song...nobody can sing it better...(sorry my english xD)

  • Of coarse she sings it better than Janis; she's not on a ton of heroin... great now I made a horrible joke and I have to pray to the music gods for another two hours.

    Seriously tho' i am stunned, that kid can sing...

    (And Janis if for some reason you can see this post from rock 'n' roll heaven; it's true you did a lot of heroin, I'm sorry.)

  • Hahahaha! You are funny! Great reply!

    Loves,

    Moo

  • Lol, thank you; I have to admit, I was a bit worried the world is too caught up in being P.C. for my Carlin-esque commenting...

    Thank you for appreciating good humor

    *hug*

    Jak

  • @eddieboomskid Nobody can sing better than Janis:)

  • @eddieboomskid Excuse you janis was amazing. this girl is AMAZING. But NOONE can sing better or like Janis Joplin!

  • Disco, I see you've returned under another new name, OsamaBinDisco. I guess you think that's funny, what with the thousands of people who've died because of Osama Bin Ladin. Sorry, but your posts are all going to be deleted from this thread.

  • I can't understand ur complaints. She could be 12 or 40, i'd still love this performance. This is dirty. raw old soulish rock n roll. the is Not supposed to be lean as a minkcoat. It's supposed to sting a bit. And this gives me shivver. It's true. Love it. :)

  • Bianca did and still does have things to work on but definitely has a talent.

  • Personally I might suggest a different hair & wardrobe consultant.

  • the hair and wardrobe were spot on for the song. How about educating yourself about Janis Joplin and come back when you know a little bit about 60's culture.

  • TJvigilante "the hair and wardrobe were spot on for the song."

    I can see how my comment could be misinterpreted. Not ref'ing to this particular appearance - but other appearances. Sneaker boots, odd swath pulled back over the top hairstyle she's been sporting. She's got pretty hair, it isn't always styled flatteringly.

    Examples of what I'm talking about

    Good

    watch?v=pECGi3BMRtM

    Not so good

    watch?v=J4twyS6-yQ4&feature=re­lated

    Both fine performances.

  • That second one should be

    watch?v=J4twyS6-yQ4&feature=re­lated

  • Take the space out of "related". The message system seems to be putting it in by default.

  • "good voice.. but absolutely wrong song for a girl her age/experience to do"

    She was 12 and trying to win a talent contest. Given what I've learned about how AGT is run, they likely told her to do those songs. The goal was to quickly play to her strengths in a way that a mass audience would digest. The fact that she won would seem to bear out they were good song choices.

  • and blocked him from this thread.

  • All I can say is "I told you so"

  • Whatever Disco has said or done, that's no excuse for anyone else launching personal attacks on anyone; also, it's a good idea not to get into pissing contests with a creature you think might be a skunk. Two options, perhaps: 1. Don't reply to anything they say. 2. Complain to YouTube about them. I've actually seen option 2 work. Since Disco has decided to pick a fight with me now, I'm deleting his messages.

  • I looked for some early videos of Celine. The quality of the videos made it difficult to judge voice quality, but overall, early Celine had issues similar to Bianca's - over-stressing her voice, some off-tune notes, etc. There's no doubt Bianca needs to study, train, and develop her talent, but so did Celine.

  • The big thing I notice about what I've heard of young Celine is a distracting machine-gun vibrato.

  • "JSteph1950", if you go to her website and forum you will find all about what she is up to and the tours she has done recently. She is quite busy and is trying to keep up with her schoolwork and spend time with her family and friends. I can't imagine what it must be like trying to keep up with all of that at the young age of 14.

  • holywells

    I looked at her site, saw that she was doing some performances about every 3 months. The engagements listed on the left of the home page don't have a year associated with them, so could have been in 06 or 07. She is just 14, I know, and seems to have lots of ambition, so I haven't written her off at all. I'd be more interested in hearing what she's doing to get more training. Celine Dion was a brilliant young star, then went through a long dry spell, then went super-nova.

  • I don't agree with your assessment of her talent to confidence ratio, but sometimes confidence, along with the will to do something, is enough to get the job done. She had fun while doing this hard song. Most of the time having a lot of confidence means that you are certain you have the resources to achieve something special. I met a pro football player once who thought that he didn't have any special talent, but he had a lot of confidence in his abilities. His team won the Super Bowl that year.

  • I think Bianca has a tremendous amount of confidence, and a huge amount of talent - but much of her talent is "raw" - she hasn't had that much training or on-stage experience. (People like Christine Aguilera went through incredible training as Mouseketeers.) So, I think Bianca needs to catch up in some ways. And I do wonder why there has been no news of her. There's so much more to singing success than just talent & confidence. Could Bianca be just another one-hit wonder....?

  • I've said it before, and I will say it again:

    How many young female singers have the nerve to try THAT ??!!

  • This is pretty good.

  • i dont like her voice but then i kinda do lol

  • Actually, for this particular rendition, that comment makes perfect sense. I think that some parts of her singing here are beautiful and "heartfelt", while other parts are screechy and affected.

  • thanks :]

  • Why is everyone giving such negative comments. You guys are just jealous of bianca. Get a job or a hobby please instead of wasting your stupidness on commenting on this video. Bianca rocks. So STFU.

  • Yes you are wrong this is a child living her dream,Bianca is where she wants to be

  • that girl has ENERGY.

  • But I bet she can sing better than you ever could/will.

    Stop picking holes in others when you will NEVER be as big as her.

    At least she has the guts to get up there and do it.

    Trust me, I know from experience that one of the hardest things to do on stage is sing.

  • i personally think that she's a very talented young lady. she's brought her own personality to this song and i think it works. she's not janis joplin so why judge her as if she was trying to be. cos she's not. this is good.

  • she got realy deep voice. And I like it.

  • Jesus, she has a good voice but nobody can top Janis Joplin when she sung her songs. Nobody.

  • Who in the hell do you think you are? the end all in music critics telling people what they should like and their stupid if they don't think like you,this crap is getting old

  • i think shes really good it was just the wrong song

  • I don't ,if you ever saw other singers try and do Janis you'd realize how good this is

  • Just curious: Who do you think sings really well? While this is not one of Bianca's best performances, sometimes it's a questions more of the listener's taste and preferences than the singer's abilities.

    Also, take a listen to Bianca doing "I believe I Can Fly" on the Today Show. (I don't have a link for you.)

  • I think it's because most young people don't know who Janis Joplin is,and Bianca can do her as good as anybody ever has

  • rhis sucks. the way she sings is just so horrible!!!!

  • discoguy79 = TROLL

    disc0guy79 = same TROLL

    biancashouts = same TROLL

    kymrbilll (3 L) = same TROLL

    How many other usernames are there?

    Multiple usernames are a signature TROLL method. This TROLL is lower than fish turds and that's an insult to the fish -- AND the turds.

  • this little gurl iz my idol

  • On this particular song she is a "mimic". She may not possess the individuality or flexibility that will make her a long lived star but the fact that an 11 year old child mimics Janis in both voice and movement so well is the amazing part. ..and you can call me stupid if you like. I've been called worse. everyone in entitled to their opinion no matter who agrees.

  • This is the first time that I have commented on a video on youtube. I would just like to point out to the people who said that it was great except for the awkward movements; she is imitating Joplin in that as well. Janis Joplin threw herself at the stage in the same manner. It is almost as if the young girl studied videos of Janis Joplin singing the song and copied the movements that she saw.

  • This girl is amazing! Janis would be proud!!

  • A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!

  • No idea why critics or "judges" were so critical of her. The voice is amazing. Yes, her movements were a little awkward, what did they expect? She's just a little girl!

    Then again, you gotta learn to take harsh criticism if you want to make it.

    I really hope this girl makes it, and I hope she doesn't water herself down to be "pop"

    I want to hear her sing her heart out. That's the whole appeal.

    Best of luck to this young lady.

  • An excellent point - it makes it more clear to me now why the judges reacted so negatively to this performance.

    I do disagree with your weighting of her talent. There aren't very many people in the world who have the talent to be able to imitate Janis Joplin so credibly. There's tons of raw talent beneath the imitation, but kind of like you said, the imitation gets in the way of showing the talent.

  • I think Janis will wink from heaven from heaven to Bianca because she recorgnizes she is well represented in this cover...THAT GOOD. Vastly underrated by the judges.

  • I really couldn't figure out where the judges were coming from on this one - except the screechy part really was kind of screechy. It almost seemed like the judges didn't like an 11-year-old girl singing such a "mature" song - too sexy, perhaps? Also, I thought Bianca's body movements at times were awkward. But still, the rest of the rendition was beyond good if not brilliant.

  • wow, great cover!

  • Why don't you look up Janis Joplin Piece of my heart, on utube and watch it before you make comments on some thing you know nothing about

  • She's certainly not Janis Joplin. It's like Simon Cowell said when he signed her to Sony records - Bianca is "potentially" one of the best singers he's ever heard. She's incredibly talented, but needs a lot of polishing to make her truly a world-class singer. Anyone expecting her to sound exactly like an adult with years of singing behind her needs to remember that she's just 11-12 years old here.

  • The point I was trying to make is she did a good job imitating Janis.I've seen others try but they didn't do as well as Bianca.The people that made bad comments about her probably don't even now Janis Joplin

  • It's because those people don't know who Janis Joplin is and the way she sang

  • you folks and your uninformed comments are pretty sick. The facts are you don't measure up to this girl's socks if you can't recognise the emmense talent in the performance of this Janis song by this young lady. She is as close to a Janis reincarnate as you'll ever see. Part of Bianca's choice to sing this song is to show her admiration of a special talent......and....she nailed it!

  • The first Bianca Ryan vid I saw was her audition for America's Got Talent, and I was blown away by the depth of her talent - but even in that performance (as here), there are some rough edges. That doesn't say she doesn't have immense talent, it just says she isn't as experienced as she will be. Her videos at YouTube are a mix of mostly unbelievable sound with a few minor glitches that, with time, will be polished away. Overall, her native ability is nothing short of astounding.

  • I dont think this is great. She sounds like she strains her vocal cords too much. I think because her voice is mature for her age, her parents took advantage of the fact that shes young with a strong voice, but if you imagine an adult with her voice, it's not great.

  • She did indeed push herself too far - or tried to do something (the screeching sound) that really doesn't suit her style. She does much better in other performances. What I find amazing is the parts of this performance that are good, where she's not pushing to hard. Not just good there, but superb. Check out her performance of "I believe I Can Fly" on The Today Show - the vid is posted at YouTube.

  • I really think singers like Janis Joplin are singers you love or you hate so if you don't like Janis you probably wouldn't be able to appreciate Bianna's talent here.

  • You know how many people can do this song without destroying their voices ?? Two. Janis Joplin and Bianca Ryan. Enough said.

  • come across this girl by accident,as you do,she got great talent,this is one of my fav songs,sang by the late janice joplin,this girl sings it every bit as good,she,s a star in the making,good luck to you bianca.

  • My favorite video of her is "I believe I can Fly" done on the Today Show a few months after she won AGT. I was amazed at how much more musically mature she sounded.

  • that was one of my favorites:)

  • I love the performances she did on Christmas in washington; actually I love all of her performances, but this one was a bad song choice I think. Her Voice is maturing amazingly, and she better take care of that high octave register cuz i wanna see her around for a long time makin hits like MC

  • she started off really good

    I don't know what she was on in this one

  • have you ever heard this song before? her cover was brilliant.

  • this is hideous. All her stuff is beginner and overdone. She never would have made it past the second go around this year.
