I understand exactly what the judges are saying. I like that she made it her own but her version lacks in comparison to Tasia's. I see everyon in the comments are talking about the night she won but what about the night before when she ripped it. What about when she sang this while the Obama's were in the audience (watch the performance on youtube) what about her singing it on Leno and back at the Idol again for season 4? She carries the emotion and depth period not just on the night she won. Stop playing with Fantasia she plays with her notes while being calm and still brings the emo. So I guess at the end of the day its about personal preference and there's nothing wrong with that.

Did she just out because they want two white male on finale?

I remember this contestant was more into lounge R&B. For this song, he was blessed with a great arrangement (those musicians are really good). But something sparked Chikezie in a trance-like state. I specially loved the stuttering, a nod to My Generation, by The Who.

Most memorable performance ever, in my opinion. I love it!!

Oh the good days of idol

How she didn't become another Joan jett.. Or Madonna.. Is beyond me

She had a really good stage presence too

Would've loved to hear her do some Beth Hart. These rocker singer/songwriter chicks aren't really "built" for Idol.

They’re all doing covers of any of our artists. They’re not singing original songs anyway. What do you mean comparison? Lol. She deserve more credits tbh.

Chikezie mention Danny… Does anyone know that Danny is a drag queen now? Doesn’t surprise me.

I am a devoted Diana fan but wow. Wow. they fucked you over girl.

That Note At The End

back when Simon was truly an asshole.

She sang it just as good as Fantasia, if not better.. I agree that the emotions Fantasia had while singing was enormous.. but Syesha’s technique was amazing here

I hated how they gaslit her this entire season. She’s phenomenal

What a great version. This should have been a massive hit!!x

But she do her own spin on it , what more do they want 😂 I felt the emotion no doubt , but when fantasia sanged it she was in tears 😭 almost through the whole song 🎶 I guess that the emotions the judges are talking about

No does that song better than Tasia! Gone with that non sense! Lol. This girl was a' right tho, but not better than queen fantasia!

😤😡

The atrocity about her newborn being seized brought me HERE!! She was told that because she refused a B12 shot that she must give her baby to authorities. Accusation: Child Abuse

These shows will always tear the real talent down! These shows are never looking for real talent! All of the real talent, never wins! This show is about drama! Not Stars! ❤ her and she's talented! A star has been borne!

She is excellent

She reminds of Whitney Houston

I think it’s better than Fantasia and I think her voice is better

I LIKED IT VERY MUCH

W.A.S.P. BLACKIE LAWLESS DAUGHTER..

Best contestant ever

12 years have passed and I'm still watching this!😊

She did better than Fantasia

I'm still pissed Amanda got voted off from the competition so early; she was one of my favorites from season 7!

i miss when randy, paula & simon were the judges :(

Não tem graça isso. Perde totalmente o sentido, a musica fica sem melodia

She sounds like the woman who did Janes voice from the cartoon movie Tarzan when she speaks. Lol

My opinion, I love her version much more than Fan.

2019. I love het so much. Forever

i remember buying this on itunes and it was still early when they would upload songs for purchase online, i miss her!

Who cares who sang it better? Some of you could b bias, but they both sang it wonderfully.

Needs more cowbell. Lots more cowbell.

She still looks and sounds good 11 years later .... !!!!

I wish Chikezie would record this song. Loved it since i first heard it in 2008.

Infairness she's better than fantasia..she's good she's very good!!

It was really unfair for them to compare this performance (Top 8) to a finale performance with a full choir that went on 2 minutes longer than this.

Seriously, David Cook turned every song into the same arrangement, musically and vocally, every week and got praised for his “originality”. David Archelta sang nice and flashed his smile and was deemed a vocal heavyweight. Syesha never hit a note wrong the entire competition and got critiques for problems that weren’t even there. The bullshit was real that season.

free his kids.

honestly, i still think she was robbed

Full credit to Dolly for writing this beautiful song but I would rather listen to Kristy Lee singing it.

I believe she has the best country voice ever.

One of the few times a contestant nearly pulled off a Fantasia level performance

Full credit to Dolly for writing this beautiful song but I would rather hear Kristy Lee singing it.
