she is probably one of the best young singers in America. great voice, creativity and uniqueness.in each of her performances she gives 100%. in my opinion she is the best in this competition. all of her songs so far are memorable.and this one and rollin in the deep are the best.

I agree this was the best performance this year. I think she is consistent but her only flaw has been in some of her song choices....I blame that on the way the shows set up. She has amazing talent!

Siobhan Magnus sang it better, she put emotion into it...this is just too...boring

@taylormadejunkie I know.... What's funny is if you look at her page... the only thing she ever views is this American Idol girl. Even saw a post where she said this girl was better than Joplin.... I just shake my head. If she wants to live in the fantasy world she's created, that's fine. I mean... she thought the only way I know anything is because of autotune... not sure how a computer program designed to alter vocal notes would help me learn anything about a 60's rock band...she's insane

@MST3Killa realfinnatic is a 60 year old bitch thinks the animals are one hit wonders, he thinks know one else knows anything about music .Did I call him a bitch yet?Anyways he is a bitch and I would love to meet him face to face I would shut it up. 60 I can't believe he lived this long what an idiot

I don't think people will "be coming back for this song as much as they do for the Animals" version. This is their signature song. If the Animals had covered a Beatles hit, I wouldn't expect it to get as many views as the original. If they came close, they would likely be pleased. If they didn't come close, it wouldn't mean they were without talent.

What you don't get is that she is not trying to mimic the way Eric Burdon sang the song.

[ktm016]

sucks very very bad. no idea where people are getting that shes good. Thats probably why most people today listen to lady gaga and crap.

[thefriqueisin]

Of course I will prefer the Animals version, but I liked it

@realfinnatic listen to how fucking pathetic you are, why are you writing to this guy for ages, if you don't care? neat song, enjoyed listening to it. love the hell out of the animals btw
