Jordin Sparks - If We Hold On Together - American Idol

[Haley24x7]

like if you know this song from the Land Before Time <33

[Idolfan21785]

After This Perfomance I KNEW She Was Going To Win

[AurynThePaladin]

She tries to sing it in an over-passionate (but not really) typical way all songs are covered on this show. It comes off as loud and disingenuous. Watch the video of Diana Ross performing it in Japan. That is a true performance.

[boyshushi93]

Wow! Beautiful teeth. :D

[4hr0]

When I was watching this and heard they were doing songs by Diana Ross, I was saying, "I would DIE if someone did "If We Hold On Together", and then here's Jordin bringin' back my childhood and infinite amounts of tears.

LOOOVE! <3

[MrSpaceMind]

Chose a song that has emotional ties to so many people. smart bitch.

[FantasticMrFox212]

@htownoviefan agreed . shes talented and sings it good but it needs something more to it . more emotion

[SunburntComposer]

I want more songs like this from her. :)

[htownoviefan]

she doesn't sing it with enough emotion

[TikiMast3r]

@htownoviefan Yup, it definitely needs more emotion.

[dancingsais1260]

yes jordan! grab all your LAND BEFORE TIME memories and put them into this song!!

[Jenni81]

Diana Ross is infinitely better!

[ssblaziken]

Man I think she much better than the original singer :0

[puertoricanboii]

wooooooow she makes my childhood memories that much better with her voice remaking this classic song

[ilovecheetahs7]

she looks really pretty :D

[AlexaSapphire00]

she has a beautiful voice:)

y isnt she more famous?

[VocalIntuition]

@AlexaSapphire00 She is you ignoramus.

[chidoriookami]

I found this by searching for land before time. LOL <3

[bucamarie]

9 people need someone to hold on to... that's SAD!!!~ 

[MrLovedrizzle]

you are wonderful girl as i saw you in american idol i hope you keep on this style music,classic and suit to your deep voic

[ensan8]

Good singer. But Diana is much better. 

[ipsilont7]

Not the best song choice for me personally, because I can't help but compare her singing to Diana Ross and there's really no comparison....

[ClontrooperOfTheEIC]

nice voice

but diana sing this song better

[mslovemrwood]

i love this song ♥

[bucamarie]

This song is soo true. this song makes me think of me & my Mother because no matter what we will always be there for each other as well as my Grandmother because eventnough she is in heaven we are still holding on toghether & I miss her very much. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her.

[disneylover797]

Her voice doesn't work for this song. She's treating it like some rough, pop-y tune you'd hear on the radio these days. It should be soft, beautiful and poignant. She needs to be a little more sensitive.

[brivanas]

@disneylover797 Huh? This version is great. There's no pop here. Maybe she could have slowed down a little, but with the very short time limit to perform on Idol, how many verses would she have gotten in?

[menin66]

I like this version :o

[bucamarie]

Mann I freakn' love this woman!!~!

P.s. 9 poeple need to shut it! Now!

[MultiBob34]

I don't like her singing this song. She is too 'pop songy'. It needs to be softer.

.

[vanessa2949]

@MultiBob34 I agree and she skipped verses and parts.

[bloodlinerock13]

@vanessa2949 that has nothing to do with her. they cut parts from pretty much every song so they can fit within the time slot

[rubberduckygurl234]

Jordin Sparks is amazing, and it makes me so happy that she sang this...how could anyone not love The Land Before Time?

[Amandacutie23]

the land before time song! This song made me cry when it came on the end credits! I dont remember her singing it........although i was prob in elementary school, or middle school so idk....i just know i voted for her in the finally. good voice

[Meissiejj141993]

In the netherlands littlefoot land before time isn't that famous as other movies.. weird cause thoose movies are the best for children! nice song

[Cmarker38751]

Jordin Sparks is by far the best contemporary pop singer that Idol has ever had! She was stunning!

[MsSparklesNGlitter]

in my opinion she is even better then Pia Toscano from this year....Jordin is with Diana Degarmo the best teens ever on this show

[CaranLonde]

O_O lotsa tone deaf people voted for her. Thank you for for wrecking my fave song :/

[bellola55]

If We Hold On Together พวกเราต้องมีความสุขแน่ๆ

[TwistedSister09]

Land Before Time was my favorite movie when I was 4.

of course Dianna sings this song better but I love Jordin's version too.

[MrFast2die]

why people trying to copy something which isn`t copyable..... crap....

[Devotedlamb19]

Not on par with Diana at all. And she shouldn't have changed the key. Still, very soulful voice.

[femoman]

@Devotedlamb19 Well, yeah. If she was on par with Diana Ross, she wouldn't need to be on American Idol.

[Devotedlamb19]

@femoman True. lol.

[claudi7511]

Jordin has a beautiful voice, but this song isn't for her definitely

[dangergurl87]

Nothing against Jordin, but she butchered this song...

[ScienceProjek]

0:53 - 2:03 Her curls and stage presence reminds of when Mariah sang Hero in her music video...

[angelisle]

she is good better than the original! but she needs to make it a little bit more sad.

[TwistedSister09]

@angelisle she is so not better than the original..

[dman747707]

SHE KILLED IT!

[Joshorty]

90's re-written ... I'm so sad I wasn't able to buy the iTunes single for this song on time before it poofed :(

[CallumOv]

LOVE IT I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST HEARD JORDIN SING I WAS LIKE WOW

[MizzBGirl]

i dont like it

[intentmass]

WOW!!!!!

[sbspsquared]

This is the performance that made me think she could win. I started crying about 10 seconds in. DAMN YOU NOSTALGIA!!!!! DAMN YOU!!!!!!!

[bonzoscarpetcleaning]

I hate American Idol usually and this one performance nearly moved me to tears. I actually watched the rest of that season and rooted for Jordin the whole time.

[P00PD0G89]

theme song from "Land Before Time." Done.

[cody1099]

It was annoying after she kept stretching most of the words and keeping it loud, not sweet and soft.

[therebelrogue]

Good singer, and the last verse is close to the quality of the original, but Diana Ross brought a lot more soul to the song...

[MsSparklesNGlitter]

@therebelrogue well Jordin was 17 at the time of this show, she was amazing for a teen...you cant compare a 17yo with a season veteran like diana ross

[antostylee]

je suis de france et j'aime beaucoup cette chanson et cette chanteuse.. thanks jordin.

[lulu8629]

很美的一首歌...有人疼惜關懷的感覺，真的很棒!

[laughhoutloud96]

@lulu8629 true true

[KaneChamp]

Diana Ross is the BMW and Jordin Sparks the Daihatsu.

[Jenni81]

@KaneChamp No Diana Ross is the Ferarri, Jordin Sparks is the Yugo

[algeriealgerienne]

love this song!! her voice doesn't match it. the original is so touching!

[vamprix2]

seems a song in heaven



[lucyespino]

beautifully sung

[CharlieCollyer]

She's an amazing singer. I remember having immense fun watching when she guest starred on The Suite Life on Deck. That was pretty cool.

[rohtceh]

i prefer the original version...I'd like this song to be softer, milder and more heart-warming.

[yurherenow]

she has that deer caught in the head-lights look in her face attempting to sing this.

[justinchester0018]

THIS PERFORMANCE gives me chills.

[kennyasia]

Nice cover :) but the orginal version by Diana Ross is still the best

[CaranLonde]

i guess she was really nervous during this performance O_O really shaky

[mcole629]

It's called vibrato.

[Jenni81]

@mcole629 It's called Crap!

[u2uber89]

LOL The Land Before Time- that was my movie back in the day-

[myers465]

when was this

[antyfreeman2008]

@myers465 top 12 Diana Ross Week

[cooldy6]

one of the most beautiful songs ever written

[XmusicmeisterX]

omg when she did this I was like, THE LAND BEFORE TIME!!!! lol she's an amazing singer and I'm so glad she sang this song.

[tonebone8]

the only reason she made it was cuz of this song...Go Land before time!!!

[Nintendomanic]

i second your opinion :D

[AquilaCat]

I usually don't like hearing songs that aren't sung by the original artist, but Jordin has a very nice voice. Gave me chills at some points.

[justinchester0018]

One of the moving performances ever on the show History

[commander672]

Chose a good song and a great singer, though Dian Ross's slightly softer voice coincides with the song slightly better.

But then again, the song was WRITTEN by Ross and thus ought to fit her better anyways.

Oh god...Nastalgia Attack! who knew a song could make me miss LBT so much!

[tonebone8]

hey have tou heard That french singer sing that song? Waaaay better than Diana ross' version..i think her name is 'Tientien

[coolram52]

@commander672 Yeah, I see that this comment was made a year ago, but no one has corrected you. Diana Ross did *not* write this song. It was written by James Horner and Will Jennings.

[yerhawt234]

one of her bestest songs. [:

[thegirltwilighthater]

Im glad she won it all :)

[DoubleDBlogXX]

my all time fav. jordin performance!

[fvaeb]

nice

[akithan]

Amazing!

[Golfswinguniversity]

it doesn't say her numbers at the bottom of the screen during her performance.

[revinevan87]

When she sung that song, I thought, "She's winning this thing".

[pwetigurlgangsta]

well evn thOugh da sOng dOsnt gO with her vOice i mean she can dew better dan yoOh can ever dO!!

[angiehey19]

before this performance i thought it would be a lakisha/ melinda finale but after hearing this, i changed to jordin/melinda

[charmed224p3]

She can't sing!

[anthony1184]

from the credits of the land before time

[imagineoceans]

gosh! how i love this song. =D

it means a lot to me.

=)

[angiehey19]

this is jordins best performance and yes better than broken wing, i who have nothing, and you'll never walk alone

[femmefataleminx]

this is her only performance that reached idol standards. her other songs are purely bullshit!

[qtpa2tea]

okay.

[funniebunniecpfreak]

just amazing... im soo happy she won!

[femmefataleminx]

i'm not happy... melinda should have won!

[weberjam37]

I think this was her best performance/song throughout the whole competition. You can totally tell she's been preparing a long time for this oppurtunity.

[tomwellingluver156]

I have been a fan since day one... I soo happy she won American Idol. She deserves it!

[HALLIEHARVEY]

SHE DESRVES IT RIGHT BABY...SHE TOUCHED MY HEART..."IF WE HOLD ON TOGETHER"

HallieHarvey

[kimwatts]

this was a defining moment...and the rest is history now. Jordin is the best ever!!!

[marcoaab8]

amazing voice

[12bmills]

I think Simon's comments after this song were right. She did make it to the Finale. This performance is in my Top 5 at like 2 or 3.

[signer25]

Very nicely singed, I must say. She truly has what it takes to reach the top. I would be surpirsed if she didn't win.... or at least make it to the finals. Especially with that voice of hers, she could easily become famous... with or without the approval of that one particular critic judge.

[Racheal1357]

I love this song. Wow shes really great, makes me wish that I watched an American idol.

[freefall15]

Shes a geat singer I think she should win American Idol

[DrakeDog4]

She has an amazing voice, again, thanx 4 posting!!! :D
