I could barely breath when I watched her sing that live and now again watching on this video. I can't find words to describe it. Breathtaking and unbelievable just begin to describe it. I'm not being facetious. Still having a hard time believing someone could deliver every aspect of a song with such epic and refined emotional and vocal perfection.
She reminds me of Jennifer Hudson when she was on the show! Even if this girl doesn’t win she’s going places, without a doubt. My favorite this season!!!
We’ Ani definitely has the best voice left in the competition, but the “country music people” will probably give the Title to yet another white male country singer unless Iam Tongi can pull the upset.
The way she handled this song. Modulation, taking her time, playing with her vocal range…she gave the legend Whitney, homage while carving out her own path. Braves, Wei, Brava❤❤❤
We Ani all the way to the top. The beautiful texture fullness and richness of your voice exceeds beyond I could ever imagine . You made this song your own. You knock this song out of the ballpark and you really took me to church . You da best . New York and America vote for We’ Ani .
The fact that Haven is standing beside talents like this crazy. Am I taking crazy pills!?! This is real talent, amazing singer, absolutely perfect performance of one of the hardest songs in existence. You go girl!
That's because it's a popularity contest. It's not about the best singer. Lots of great singers this year are gone. It's also insanely unfair to the person who sings last of his / her fan doesn't get to vote on time. I'm just glad We Ani is still in it. I'm fully expecting once again some country person to win it. They should just call it American Country Idol.
@@randomname9758haven’s best moments are when she’s singing her own songs. She’s very good in my opinion, especially for her age. This top 8 is the best ever, but We’ ani is the best and is just on another level. What a spectacular gift from God. Purely angelic.
I agree Iam would do you proud to be the winner. And he might be. I actually want We' to win. To me she is the most versatile singer with an unbelievable range. And her confidence in her voice and style are superb. But you will love this. Even though I think she is the Best. I think Iam will win. The crowds love him. And he is a natural talent. And he does have a beautiful voice. I would buy his album. Also, I looked up on RUclips all his old RUclips posts even when he was younger to hear him sing. He is blessed with such talent. And I love him as a human being. I think they will be the 2 finalists. I hope he gets to sing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" the ukulele version. I have heard him sing it on RUclips, but I hope he gets to perform it live. So We' will have a career whether she wins or not. Same for Iam. So your dream may come true! Best wishes.
I have watched American Idol since Kelly Clarkson. I thought Kat McPhee's Over The Rainbow was epic. We, there has never been a better performance on Idol. Congratulations !!!
She deserves to win, and have a massively successful career. I’m tired of all the country singers that sound the same as each other going through and winning year after year. Let her who is multitalented and rocks at every genre win. Rather than the 9472847272nd remix of “My truck, my girl, my beer, these country roads, my tractor trailer, mary had a little lamb reloaded”
The person that won deserved to win 🤔😐 if there was a 1A and 1B and they both win yeah 😏 but just because she has whatever she has with her voice we can't say because of that she's champion but the girl who won was better than everyone 😏 🙏✌
Now I have tears in my eyes, that was so beautiful and powerful, We just blew my mind!!! What a talented young lady, best wishes, and blessings, always!!!!
We Ani Vocally have a booming voice and bags of character in her tone. Great power and control are all there. The hard work she put into singing this is so inspirational.” “She always sounded good, but this was the best!” “You never fail to amaze me with what she can do with her voice.” “All the practice she put in has really paid off & for me you are in my top 3 not just top 3 she will win this year, such an amazing voice since she joined the voice. I will keep voting you until the end She is a star already
I fall in love with this beautiful girl more and more every single time. I almost love that people underestimate your range, breadth and depth of talent. I see you We Ani!
Wow, what a performance! Absolutely beautiful! She sung that song! I haven’t heard it sung like that since Whitney and if she were still with us I can almost guarantee she would be singing n her feet applauding that performance. What a very talented and gifted artist this young lady is. God is good🙌
to m stm -- The best comment. Because says what she is all about - diversity in one. And there is something between her and her singing as well. To say, what it is, one should get know her personally. She makes an impression as if she were a little child, but her singing is very grown up.
Wi is on a whole another LEVEL and she serves to be compensated for the beautiful singing she has done over the weeks for this competition. SO PLEASE VOTE to at least give her a fighting chance.
She came in third on the voice I think. I didn't see the whole show, but on the video of her journey, We was wonderful for every performance. She took on every challenge Alicia Keyes gave her and she was still a teenager then. People in the comments talk about her having a great career, but I thought that after the voice and she's still out here hustling to make it happen. She works hard and I was happy to see her on AI, but sad that she isn't a huge star already. She's a beautiful entertainer! Good wishes for her future!
This young lady has her OWN style, which makes her SO unique. Noone should compare her to any other artist. She has great range, talent and class. She is a winner and I hope We'Ani gets selected as this season's winner.
Ya this woman is going to win..and she should.. Iam is everyone's favorite and they're hearts are with him...but this lady is the best singer on the show, hands down
Having seen Whitney sing this song in concert... I must say We Ani gave it the respect and emotion one needs to take on a monumental song such as this. Watched her on The Voice and so glad to see her again. 🎙🎼⭐
This artist is my #1 regardless of what happens. Beauty, poise, grace, power, accuracy, control…. and on and on. She has what it takes to be a superstar 💫 . I wish her the very best.
We is set for SUPER STARDOM!!!! This competition is a dress rehearsal and stepping stone!!!! Look out world- here SHE comes!!!! Beautiful voice EVERY SONG
She's totally amazing!! To hear her sing, with an amazing voice, and after singing she says thank you in a different tone, high pitched, almost child like voice, reminds me of Tweety Bird when Sylvester the Cat falls down and goes, *BOOOOM!* That's her voice, she sings beautifully with a big *BOOOOM!* I love it!!! She's awesome!!
@@kathrynowens3324 Yeah, it's like her child voice never fully changed, but when she sings her adult voice kicks in! It's amazing to hear her talk, then sing! Two different people!!!! I think she's awesome!
wow! what else can we say, Whitney soul is watching u right till the end. U made her proud. The emotion u put in that song give us chills. Well done n thank u 👏🌟❤️
My goodness. I'm 75 years old this May. Been there, done that, and I'm hearing a voice from the past. I look forward to seeing this beautiful young lady at the Apollo Theater. The soul of American jazz, swing, bebop, R&B, gospel, blues, and soul and all quintessentially American music genres where Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Sammy Davis Jr., James Brown, Gladys Knight, Luther Vandross, D’Angelo, Lauryn Hill, and countless others began their road to stardom. This in her home town of Harlem NY. How perfect. Hopefully, what they need to do now is pair her with some of the amazing songs from the ladies I have mentioned above. She has the skill, emotion and ability to revive much of the most beautiful songs from that era. On her own, she can bring much of that back for our enjoynment.
I just love watching her mom and dad and how proud they are. Her mom was wiping away tears. They are so proud as they should be. What a great performance as always. And her outfit choices are always spot on!
People.. WE NEED THIS WOMAN TO MAKE MUSIC BEAUTIFUL AGAIN.
VOTE FOR HER.
Amen to that!
No auto tune for Ms Ani. That's for sure.
WeAni is good
no

I'm 74 years old and I have to tell you she is phenomenal. I've listened twice and goose bumps both times. She'll win. A star is born.😊😊
😢 they rob her of the win
She should have.
She reminds me of Jennifer Hudson when she was on the show! Even if this girl doesn’t win she’s going places, without a doubt. My favorite this season!!!
pretty you're right with the comments same you look so beautiful can we get to know better ❣️❣️❣️
Yes, mines too. She's amazing and you can see her humbleness too
She’s very talented and so humble hopefully she can win if not at least second place she still is going to be a ✨⭐️🤩💫🥰
JHUD is amazing!!! I can see the two of these ladies making a record together
WE ANÍ WAS ROBBED!!!
She is a winner for me. And that gown is ICONIC.
👍👍
This girl is a super star! She can sing anything! A Whitney Houston song is harrrrrd to sing and she nailed it!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I totally agreed with you but harrrrrd has got me
She hasn’t had a bad performance YET. She has my vote the entire way!!! AMAZING SINGER 🥳🥳❤️❤️
Her n Iam has been the most consistent
@@stephencrosby9174 Definitely!! Love them both!

@@RobertJohnson-bj5lk I know. I have nothing against country music, but that’s usually who gets the win. Hopefully it’ll be different this year 🤞🏾
@@stephencrosby9174 They better be the Top 2

Braves, Wei, Brava❤❤❤
This is one of the greatest voices I've ever heard.
Aw she’s so beautiful. Perfect for her. She did justice on this iconic song.
Is there anything she cant sing? She's just naturally a STAR!!!! thats undeniable!! Definitely have the ability to win idol!! 💯
I think it will be out of iam and her but will will be hard with all these boring country singers
@@stephencrosby9174 I hope We and Iam will be on the top2 enough for the country singer this year
She’s undoubtedly the BEST in the competition.. really hope she wins it 🤞🏾
@@pboy_dgaf Yes..please vote for her America.
she can sing anysong... but not good enough
Whitney is smiling down on you right now. This brought tears to my eyes! Lovely.
Major praise to Luke for picking this song for We. This was her best performance to date and imo, moved her to the top.
Wow !!! We-Ani… she nailed this song !!! This was so graceful and powerful at the same time !!!
She is a real “singing queen” !!! 👑
CHILLS! This girl can really do it all! Give her the crown
Amen exactly 💯 she got amazing voice..
We Ani all the way to the top. The beautiful texture fullness and richness of your voice exceeds beyond I could ever imagine . You made this song your own. You knock this song out of the ballpark and you really took me to church . You da best . New York and America vote for We’ Ani .

As a fellow Polynesian, I would love it if Iam won this competition, but We Ani has been nothing short of spectacular.
@AyeChillOut What are you talking about? Her mom is white, and her dad is black.
Based on the previous winners, i think country singer would win
@@chocolateangel8743 You missed the point. The commenter was referring to Iam as being the Polynesian not Wei.

Its very difficult, I love them both, anyway they are both winners!!!
She is on another level from the other contestants.
absolutely...she can sing and has that elusive charisma.
There's a 12 year old is seen as the winner
@@johnreddiford WTF?
iam tongi
Tongi won because the judges felt sorry for him. He never had star quality.
I have watched American Idol since Kelly Clarkson. I thought Kat McPhee's Over The Rainbow was epic. We, there has never been a better performance on Idol. Congratulations !!!
@@mr.grumps3544 we is entirely better than Jessica Sanchez. Jessica couldn’t hold a candle to this
We has a cover of Somewhere Over The Rainbow from several years ago. It's amazing.

The note she hits 2:02. That vibrato.... It's like listening to what a diamond looks like.
