      SUP3RB yea but you can't blame her how tf does America votes get dead lock if America wanted her to win that bad then they should've voted for her twice as more that's the only reason why the judges were able to choose because it's usually up to America and Nicole couldn't choose she didn't wanna hurt either of them because they were both talented and both young the boy was 16 and she was 12 so it became deadlock again

      She's already won a contract with Disney by then so she wasn't going to get both. That judge (can't remember his name) spilling the beans on the live show didn't help her get votes as people figured she had already made it with Disney.

      It was the Micheal Jackson week. She picked her song and theme and they gave it to someone else. That's when I knew this show was rigged. Because Rachel likes sad and powerful ballads I'm sure she picked Earth song but Amaro did that one. Amaro showed up to the audition super nerdy to win sympathy and then won the competition. I was only watching for Rachel so I lost interest after this.

      Nah, not a chance. Etta James had a voice like warm honey smooth and easy like silk in the breeze. Etta opened her mouth and magic happened, it was natural. She didn't even have to try. This girl is straining and forcing out every note it's not relaxing in fact my blood pressure is rising watching her. I wish she'd sit down and relax her face.

    • @jimthornberry6774
      @jimthornberry6774 4 года назад +13

      Etta James could NEVER be replicated. She sang from the heart, her own personal trials and tribulations poured out into her music. This is a young girl who has no idea what she's even singing about. Not saying she's bad, just not an Etta James incarnate ! She doesn't have the life experience or passion to pull off that song either. Wait do you listen to Etta James?

      Cassie Hall America votes were in a deadlock so the judges​ had to choose and one said the other and one said Rachel so it was up to Nicole and since Rachel was 12 years old Nicole figured she still had time for success so she choose the other one that's why in the next scene Nicole is hysterically crying because she had to tell a 12 year old a very talented one that she choose the other contestant and when Rachel broke down Nicole became heart broken but tbh it wasn't her fault America votes shouldn't have been deadlock

    I watched this the same day it aired and I was so pissed that she didn't win.... I've heard other covers of this song and she will still be my favorite one...she was so young at this time she performed this song and she knew she was at the bottom 3 and could be possibly going home....so when she still hit every note and more I'm this performance, I mean she really left it all out on that stage that night...as she held back her tears because she knew she was going home....to me she showed not only her amazing talent but her professionalism! I still get emotional when I watch this same performance over these years, not many artist can really draw you into their soul like she did 💞

      I love her voice, but she still sounds like a kid here. Jasmine Sullivan actually did have a very grown husky voice as a young child. Go check out some clips of her. Beyoncé’s version was impeccable. This is not better than hers. You guys can’t deny her technique and ability just because you’re not a fan of hers.
