Yes, this and Andrew Garcia's acoustic cover of "Straight Up" from the same year are the two Hollywood week standout performances that I still remember and occasionally re-listen to over a decade later...
I like her version the best. Her voice is drop dead perfect for this song and she sings with emotion. And yes she is a beautiful girl with a very sweet personality.
Me too, I literally remember watching this at home and it feels like it was yesterday! Funny to realize I was 13 years old and am now the same age as the girl who was singing!
She nailed this and it's unfortunate she never found her footing on the live shows, very talented and one of my favorite performances. Kara looking so proud was cute. Her cover of Rhiannon is beautiful, as well.
I thought she was going to do so well and lost her way on the show. This performance is such a purely organic, awesomely tangible feeling of what a singer should be able to convey while singing any song at any time. She ripped my insides to shreds when she sang this song the way she did, Thank You Didi!!!
Its to bad it fell apart for her on the show. this is that one moment that everything really came together for her. Still a great song for her. Would love to hear her sing the full version
jesus christ!! It calms me down every time i hear her singing this song song, just simply relaxing. i can listen to her singing this over and over again!
i loved seeing Kara give Didi that smile and nod almost looked liked she said thank you and i think for kara that was awesome to see someone to do a song that she wrote justice
I listened to this song a thousand time and I just teared up from it :)... I guess how life is going makes a difference in how music hits somebody ;) Didi your voice is amazing.
i love u Didi since i heard ur voice in the hollywood week!!! i have a tears when i heard u sing of arms of an angel..coz i know ur so humble all the way....i love u and i pray that u are going to win in this season.... kEEP! Praying always To GOD!!! i love u Didi...
i love didi, she's one of my favorite contestants this season. her performance of "terrified" is one of te best idol performances ive ever heard. i think she will go far :)
I am not too spiritual of a person, but one can not help but think that the memory of her best friend is somehow spurring her on to greatness. I hope she wins it all.
it's always such an awesome thing when you sing another artist and then they tell you or show you how vmuch t hey loved your rendition of their song like after Didi finished singing Kara had nothing but a smile on her face cause you can tell kara loved it just as much as i did or any of you who watched this
She made me feel so good listening to her. If you look at Simon for a brief moment he succumbs to the beauty in her voice. Kara's speechless smile showed an opening into her heart that could only be opened with that voice.
Everything about Didi is beautiful. Her singing on this song gives me chills it is so lovely. She is my favorite girl -- I like Casey of the boys. There are a lot of amazing people this year, but Didi is so unique, pretty, etc...Talk about the whole package!
I still think about this performance and the lyrics of the song. I remember watching it during Hollywood week like 10 years a go. One of my favorite American idol moments ever
Wow!. .. she's outdone everyone with her version of the song. Playing over and over. She's really good. Hope she records this song, wanna buy it. This was really an awesome performance. look at the view count, Didi is really something. You go girl!
I love her voice. she seems more real when she sand Terrified n Rhiannon...u can she all the emotions in her eyes & in her voice...she will be AMAZING if she can sing this way.... A great song is when i can feel the pain/happiness in the voice. she totally ROCKED in Terrified & Rhiannon..... she deserc=ved 2nd place.... LOVE ur voce Ddid
This song definitely CLASSIC on idol. So many years later, that voice still haunts me from time to time.
+Binhan Xu That voice truly get out like the shooting stars. Lightening pokes thru my heart.
Haunts me too
trueeww
I haven't watched this in years and am still amazed by her stunning performance. One of my all time favorite Idol moments. .
Still one of the best performances on idol, imo xD
Yes, this and Andrew Garcia's acoustic cover of "Straight Up" from the same year are the two Hollywood week standout performances that I still remember and occasionally re-listen to over a decade later...
I was introduced to this song through Didi..
Me too 😀
This clip will never fall out of my rotation. This was magic and it made an impact on me that has lasted 14 yrs now.
still makes me cry after 12 years
ICONIC!!!!! This goes down in American idol history as one of the best performances ever
Still today I think about the way she made the song hers. I wished for years her version was recorded.
Still here after all these years. Will never forget this 🥹
This was 13 years ago! and until now, Her beauty and her voice still haunts me....
The camera angle on this is on another level of greatness.

I've been such a big fan of her and this song since hearing her cover. I wish there was a full version.
Same. Will never forget didi!

Hearing this always give me goosebumps. It's like the song's made for her.

I forgot about this. I was so in love with Didi lol
It's been 11 years I still remember this performance ，
2018 - this is still one of the best Idol performance.
Angelic. The one and only word that could describe the purity and beauty of this girl.
I thought she was going to do so well and lost her way on the show. This performance is such a purely organic, awesomely tangible feeling of what a singer should be able to convey while singing any song at any time. She ripped my insides to shreds when she sang this song the way she did, Thank You Didi!!!
Still hits right into my soul every time I listen...pure emotion!
I was rooting for her! Can't believe it is more than a decade.
The things she can do with her voice. So amazing. Why isn't she famous?!
She has been my favorite contestant and Simon was an ass. he only likes the cheesy crap!
Her album is coming out shortly
That's great news!! Can't wait!
Didi Benami was seriously one of my favorite American Idol finalists... Love her...
Its to bad it fell apart for her on the show. this is that one moment that everything really came together for her. Still a great song for her. Would love to hear her sing the full version

I love how when Simon goes 'I really like that song'
She butts in and shouts 'I DO TOO, I REALLY LIKE THAT SONG!'
She's so cute. I love her.
kara looked SO proud at the end of the song it was adorable!!!!
Didi & Katie were robbed, they were so talented and should’ve stayed longer than they did. i can’t believe Mike & Casey outlasted them✋🏻🙅♀️

Reminds me of Avril Lavigne.

I WANT TO MARRY THAT GIRL

Still remember this, great singing and so cute.
who's watching in 2017?
it's been 13 years, I am still finding this video, this cover is awesome
I am not too spiritual of a person, but one can not help but think that the memory of her best friend is somehow spurring her on to greatness. I hope she wins it all.

I HOPE AND HOPE she wins. I'd never heard this song but when she sang it i was instantly in love with it and HAD to have it.
