[churrerita22]

Better than Ben Hensley for shure... Kristin Chenoweth rules...

[computersteve44]

Terrific

[marktopp]

I love this kid, he is amazing. Have not used Youtube for a while so have been very surprised to hear he was on AI and really shocked he did not...well.... WIN! He is just SO much more talented than all the finalists. I guess he just does not do the kinda music Simon and the show promote. They push the telens most suited to a mass market. Its all about the money!!!

[Raquelblacktulip]

~Espectacular x)

adoro x)

[VickAdam27]

Idol was his fault.... he picked bad songs time after time...

[romdynamic]

You are a great singer Von. American Idol just missed your amazing talent. Come on man get your album released. I am your fan in the Philippines.

[jolsen99]

Von, your high register is totally mind blowing. I can't stop watching this video!

[omfgNANERS]

OH MY GOSH. he's amazing. i'm jealous.

[FrankMayans]

shit...power! I never seen a man hit those notes before...

[OhSoRandom23]

wow.

[VONxSMITH]

OMG I LOVE VON SMITH. EVERYONE NEEDS TO VOTE FOR HIM WHEN HE SINGS ON AMERICAN IDOL ON MARCH 3RD OR 4TH. IF HE DOESN'T MAKE IT, I WILL BE CRYING FOR DAYS AND BLAME EVERYONE WHO READ THIS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T VOTE FOR LOVELY VON SMITH. THANK YOU.

[mburch1974]

that guy is a singing genius.

[mburch1974]

it's just unnatural to sing like that. he is an alien

[marinerspm]

amazing

[bmw200273]

Hot damn he's got some lungs.

[SirPillah]

I fell in love with him LOL

[PessimisticOptimist2]

I

LOVE

HIM.

[nbrisby]

Amazing.

[dragonizk01]

he was so close to swallowing the mic.. that wouldve been cool.. haha

[nannyrobina]

This kid belongs in cabaret.

[Jamesping1]

he wont win american idol. sorry. he has no control.

[bwaymusicalboy]

wrong.

[rocketsloth]

didn't you fat girls learn anything from clay aiken?

i'm sorry, but little lady boys who only sing songs made popular by female gay idols....are gay. they're the gayest of gay.

[sekydsined]

I saw that A Capella "Idol" audition. THAT was so HARD to do! AND ... I was SCARED that they wouldn't send you to the next level. Not your best performance (as I'm sure you WELL know!), but ..... WHEW! You MADE it! NOW ... go WIN on "Idol" !!! Best of luck! (Or "break a leg!" -- whichever it is.)

[amskiurts]

I do love him though... and after hearing that ending....

INCREDIBLE.

AMAZING.

SERIOUS.

[amskiurts]

A Theater Major on American Idol!?

I love it!

..... I'm just surprised that the judges do...?

There has to be some other string to him cause they always give the theater kids crap...

[nedyken]

he needs some guidance and he could go really far in the show. He can belt it out, but he needs to pick the right spots to belt it out. His "over the rainbow" audition is way too much. It showed talent, but a need for some pointers.

[clz33]

no hes not gay... he is my cuz i woould know

[Iamtheice]

I think this guy's hilarious. Not necessarily in a bad way, either.

[chaybell]

did he say he was gay?

[B73woods]

is he gay?

[michaelwilliam]

Glad to see more gays on Idol this year. Good Luck Von.

[daveallene]

Well they mind as well end A. Idol now. Von is in it. Send the other contestants home.

[mcljuggalette]

Amen to that lol

[bwaybound83]

I have been a fan of his since I saw him on youtube 2 years ago. He may win the whole thing

[beautifullytragictay]

Amazing!!!! when I saw him on previews for AI yesterday and freaked out! lol

[alwy15]

i am so thrilled he was just on american idol. I'm voting for Von. I appreciate anyone who ends a song by throwing back his head like bernadette peters.

[2laidbackguys]

Awesome. Muck luck to you on American Idol!!!

[ralley22]

So gay, yet so talented.

[bwaymusicalboy]

Funny. There are a lot of talented gay people. Do yourself and us a favor. Try to hide your ignorance.

[gr8phuk]

ralley22: you're so prejudice, yet so opionionated!

[undone001]

What do you mean, YET?

[rickya2]

he woke up and he is on american idol! vote,vote,vote....

[helpmeron]

is he really on? Did he make it?? Hope so

[jimmyboyd]

Good Lord. This pwns Kristen's version. It's like a whole new level.

[idiotbunnyproduction]

what the helll! he's amazing.

[actordude9393]

good greif that's inhumane

[faithyg1127]

he is absolutely fantastic

he sounds impeccable =]

[moseymama]

WOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEE!!!!!!!!!Sensational the best vocal since Sam Harris.

[bibirmzboi]

i know nothin bout this song and i gather its called 14G but was that the note ge did at the end?

[dolcissimo]

The original version is called "The Girl in 14G," performed by Kristin Chenoweth.

The last note is a D5 (the D above male High C).

[Dreama40]

A star is born!

[tresblog]

this is way better than the Kristen Chenowith version

[joshualovesisaac]

I was kind of hoping for an awesome tenor version of the opera part, but I'll take the soprano. Von is great!

[cbrown6660]

Thank you so much for this!!! I have been searching for.

[NKeTV]

i'm french from Paris and I'm love with...your voice!!! and you because you fantastic...love from Paris with my very simple english!!!!

[emcdaniel]

aaah j.k. rowling! yes!

he is too fabulous

[turkaderr]

man youre hot, your boyfriends one lucky guy..and that voice ! you put kristens version of that song to shame!

[ecsutnf]

omg Von new/old video!!!!! yesss

[pgsboy]

booooooo. Get off the stage!!

[Voicelynn]

OH Mine!

I'm so happy this video back!

I really miss it so much!

Von is the best !!!

In honour ,there are some other great videos from Von.But they are gone!I can't find them out any more.

[chieh1980]

I think an article on his blog (at MySpace on 14 Apr 2007) might explain this. I just found it as well. It says the guy who taped the videos wants to get some money from them, including that great "Am I telling you" and that's why Von made them private now. It's really pity and sad. But thank Von for putting new ones on Youtube. (vonatron is he isn't it? Or am I confused again?)

[sirleepeart]

The ending of this is spectacular.. Brilliant.

[HilarySwankfan24]

I'm so glad this is back up!

He is one of, if not the best singer on YouTube. INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE!

[hsj6413]

does anyone have the 'infatuation' clip? if you have, then please let me watch it again!!

[thevanderman]

Wow....I've been hoping to see this clip return! This is definitely me favorite performance of his...

[jwazzz]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great performance - glad to have it back.

[marktopp]

yep, great to have it back. A real gem that cheers up the day everytime.

[wbboy29]

Oh my gosh, I am SO HAPPY to see this back on YouTube!!!! This was favorite of his videos. Von's vocal range is INCREDIBLE, and this song showcases it, as well as his stage presence perfectly. :~)

[robertdave]

I've MISSED this video....could never understand why it was pulled down. SPECTACULAR performance!!!

[jlasf]

Glad to see this back on line. In some ways, it's more impressive than, "I'm Telliing You". This is a very difficult song to pull off and Von does it.

Now, what has happened to Von? He had a burst of PR, then I haven't heard anything more. Anyone know what he's up to?
