Geez guys take it easy on the poor girl. It's not her fault she got saddled with covering something that can't be covered. Railing her for this is like railing a fine young guitarist who looks pale in comparison to Jimi Hendrix; it's just absurd.
you guys want to hear the sickest version of this shit.?..... look up Marcia Griffiths - band of gold. that women could sing. this show is bullshit. a sure sing that the world is coming to an end!

This is like a bad work's christmas eve party when some wanker gets up on the karaoke and thinks they're Mariah Carey. This is bad and not even close to music. You know those videos where it looks like a dog's talking... how close that dog is to talking is how close this woman is to singing. I hope she's moping a floor somewhere.
The original version by Freda Payne is sung with sorrow and anger in her voice. Kimberley is a great singer but she sung this song without the emotional elements of Freda Payne's original classic. This is not a knock on Kimberley, who is a fine singer, but rather a testament to Freda Payne.
As a UK Freda Payne fan this was dreadful! Interpretation? What interpretion? Were the audience deaf? And some of the Judges are so pathetic! Just want to please the audience - this was ..... bad! Who paid the audience to applaud? Who paid the judges to say what they did?
kim sounds ok but after just listening to the original version, I prefer the other singer's overall tone..its just warmer with more soul & feeling to it ( for my ears)
Some finals were ment to be: Kelly and Tamyra, Fantasia and LaToya, Carrie and Vonzell, Chris Daughtry and Katharine, Jordin and Melinda and obviously in season 2: Clay and Kimberley Locke, but apparently that finals only stay in our minds because of the public vote! Kimberley was the best girl of that season and she deserves more than anybody else being in that final
she should of won!

She did a good job (not as good as when she did it with Frenchie Davis) , but does anyone really think this was a "random" pick?

She did a real good cover of Freda Payne's "Band of Gold". I'll give credit where it is due.

among ruben, kimberly, and clay, i think any two of them can make a perfect final. season 1 should have been kelly and tamyra.
