Why do people say she must be black to sing this good, that Etta is better and Beyonce. Regardless of colour or likeness to others who have sung this...can we not just appreciate this girl for who she is and how she sounds...
Suzanne Andrews no ! That's what make us all unic 👼our different . Not better ! but truly special , true beuty and bless.prod white ! Yes. Prod BLACK !!!!! Yes She got truly back & prod skill !!!!!!!!!!!! 😎.
Jessica did NOT LOSE! JESSICA IS THE BEST and will only get BETTER !! I can't even remember who they gave the idol award to. To me JESSICA WON HANDS DOWN !! Not that anyone cares but I'm an old white lady that loves her some Jessica Sanchez. Voted for her every time and still will if it comes down to it !!
italo oliva you need to inform yourself before correcting people! Her father is Mexican-American (that's where the Sanchez comes from) and her mother is Filipino. She comes from a community in Southern California where this mix is normal.
The soul sound will never be replicated many try but fall flat, we know when we hear the delivery. I said it many times very few have achieved it. But it is very very few.
@@stevenpringle1670 everyone is copying and sampling. Nothing original and no creativity. So even if she can sing ok, it’s not the same as original talent and original song, Whitney copied Dolly Parton and is one of the very few people who came out on top with her rendition. This girl is no Whitney..
She sounds and sings like a black singer. The only other cover that I could hold up to this is by Evvie Mckinney. I also like her cover of Georgia on my Mind.
Kenzie Skye you're so right. This song needs the emotional connection. Without the emotional depth it's a beautiful song. With the emotional connection it is other worldly.
From her first time on American idol I was hooked on Jessica Sanchez! This is my girl here , I gotta have everything she records ! Shes the winner to me ! I LOVE HER VOICE !
Wow!, just wow! Etta James would give you a standing ovation. Beyonce did a very nice cover in the "Cadillac Records" movie, but i've gotta say that Jessica Sanchez brought pure heart and soul from the inside out to this song, and she did it in only one take as well! A truly amazing talent.
Sadly no one offered her a record contract after she lost to the white dude with the guitar on Idol. Nowadays I watch her music videos on You Tube and videos of her guesting stints in the Philippines where she gets invited quite often.
To everyone who commented on this video: I thank each & everyone of you for loving, praising or acknowledging Jessica Sanchez's cover of this classic Etta James' song!!! I'm not related with Jessica, but I'm glad that she was able to relate with you, with her own interpretation of this song. She's never gone through heartaches, & the expectations of a few others from her, she couldn't yet give so far, due to this. Still, she had an exceptional performance!!! 💖💖💖🎶🎵🎶🌻🌻🌻😍😍😍 ( Unionville, Ontario, Canada)
Wowwwwwww how old are you? You sound over the top beautiful. Words can't even express how you sound. Keep up the gorgeous work and keep God first, with that I pray you go farther in life than you've ever imagine. God bless love
There isn't anything that can be said that isn't already known... You have an amazing craft that deserves nothing but praise... I am taken by your rendition😪
I love how ppl r comparing her to ppl tht have been in the industry for 15-40 years even thr saying the others are better they are still comparing her to the best in the world shows just how talented she is
I always liked Jessica's version of this song. I just think with maturity she could really bring a more memorable ending to it. I'd love to see her resubmit her version of it today! There is no doubt she is a talented singer! :)
I got to give it to you lil lady, outside of "Beyoncé" you brought tears to my eyes. That was brilliantly performed. I hope I see more from you on a bigger stage. Astonishing!!!!! THE GIFT GOD GIVES US!
This child has it. It's called soul. The passion a person has to possess to sing this song and not only make it their own but just to put it across to us listeners is awesome.
Perfect. Why hadn't they thought of this girl in the movie about Etta James. Would it not have been better to lift up a young artist who is just starting her career, than to give it to an older one who has all the money in the world. Shes a little honey this girl.
Sandra Papuni because to portray Etta James as accurately as they could (appearance wise), a black woman had to play that role. Jessica being casted as etta james wouldn't fit well because she's asian. Great voice, obviously, but would have been a silly idea to cast someone as etta james who looks completely opposite to her.
Sandra Papuni yeah, that is what Beyonce and her stuff will want: real competition *smh* please open ur eyes. besides there is not much of a passion in jessicas singing (only in her agt audition with I surrender - loved that cover)
mssummerrose1 My point is that Beyonce is already rich and famous. Why not move over and let the next generation shine. Etta, in fact, had a disagreement with Beyonce. If you look at clips of that movie. She Beyoncified the character of Etta. Etta is a legendary gem, unable to be imitated, as Beyonce's stink acting has proved. Beyonce can be no one but Beyonce.
This girl has MAD talent! This song is a true classic & she nailed it! Even gave herself a thumbs up! Beyonce is the only other person I've heard sing this song this damn good!
![Who Wrote a Short Story That Seriously Disturbed a Teacher? | Dirty Laundry x Smosh [Full Episode]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bvHAy_rKoEI/mqdefault.jpg)
Oh my God, Etta would be proud!
Elena K. oh yahhh!!!
@@diannewilson4049 6ūc6
Elena K. Yes I do believe that she would be very proud of this young woman sing her song!
Hell yeah but only if she gave praise to her...Etta didn't like anyone singing her songs...but I get your point😉💙
Little sis you've got some soul... never give up that talent.
Why do people say she must be black to sing this good, that Etta is better and Beyonce. Regardless of colour or likeness to others who have sung this...can we not just appreciate this girl for who she is and how she sounds...
check out my covers! we have similar voices :)
Suzanne Andrews I think people mean they can here a lil soul in her voice... It's not to offend anyone I'm sure
Suzanne Andrews no ! That's what make us all unic 👼our different . Not better ! but truly special , true beuty and bless.prod white ! Yes. Prod BLACK !!!!! Yes She got truly back & prod skill !!!!!!!!!!!! 😎.
Suzanne Andrews has a great sound, feelings
Yes if you got it you got it 😍
She has a million-dollar voice
the moment she started singing..... she already had me wrapped around her finger. you have a great voice.
She has only gotten better. Check out her performance on the AI Finale when she sang The Prayer. This girl has soul and lots of it.
I agree with you. She started singing and I said thìs is gonna be good and it sure was.
She is only thirteen at the moment.
borombon this was seven years ago..
borombon can't believe it!
I've seen this video 100 times and watched her on Idol and I cannot believe that she is not a mega star!!! still brings tears to my eyes
Your have a wonderful voice and a good ❤ 💙
It’s probably because she’s really talented.
She lost to a white dude with a guitar.
Jessica did NOT LOSE! JESSICA IS THE BEST and will only get BETTER !! I can't even remember who they gave the idol award to. To me JESSICA WON HANDS DOWN !!
Not that anyone cares but I'm an old white lady that loves her some Jessica Sanchez. Voted for her every time and still will if it comes down to it !!
I must agree with you I feel the same 💘👊🏾
The new young soul queens of the world.
I don't listen this kind of music, but this girl sounds amazing WOW ❤
Beautiful Mexican/ Filipina....Such a wonderful voice .
If you let them, they'll own that mic!
Mexican/filipina??????? this got nothing to do with mexico she's filipina the 90% of Philippines got Spanish last name
italo oliva you need to inform yourself before correcting people! Her father is Mexican-American (that's where the Sanchez comes from) and her mother is Filipino. She comes from a community in Southern California where this mix is normal.
This important? I mean, to be Mexican, Italian, African Filipina, or North American for music, ? (because USA is not “America”)
The soul sound will never be replicated many try but fall flat, we know when we hear the delivery. I said it many times very few have achieved it. But it is very very few.
I honestly didn't recognize her until she started singing, her voice is so beautiful and unique
You still don’t recognize her...
How is her voice unique sounding like “B”!
@@stevenpringle1670 everyone is copying and sampling. Nothing original and no creativity. So even if she can sing ok, it’s not the same as original talent and original song, Whitney copied Dolly Parton and is one of the very few people who came out on top with her rendition. This girl is no Whitney..
@@scsg11 not Whitney.
But a little bit like Eta!!!! Go Girl.
WHO IS SHE ?
Such a big and powerful voice from such a little girl. You go girl!
I like her version. She has a very strong and soulful voice!
Sounds better than Beyonce
She sounds and sings like a black singer. The only other cover that I could hold up to this is by Evvie Mckinney. I also like her cover of Georgia on my Mind.
Her surname is Sanchez...she is 14 Hispanic and Filipina and has a voice of gold she will go far not a easy song to sing...I hope to see more of her
ruclips.net/video/E_F18lJ1rHU/видео.html
maybe you like our version too reg.
Fourteen....that is only God
fantastica !!!
She doesn't even know that she's a daughter of Sarah.
Baby you got that right 💯😍😍
hhh
Amen to that sis
The world needs more beautiful spirited people like her.
Beautiful.
Something tells me this is the song to test all female voices.
Yup. I can't sing well but it's a hard song. At least for me.
stan .grondas
It may not seem hard when listen to it but the song requires a fullness and emotional depth that a lot of singers don’t have.
Kenzie Skye you're so right. This song needs the emotional connection. Without the emotional depth it's a beautiful song. With the emotional connection it is other worldly.
Bodhief.
stan .grondas Are you kidding me she is a duplicate of Beyonce imitators dont last long
From her first time on American idol I was hooked on Jessica Sanchez! This is my girl here , I gotta have everything she records ! Shes the winner to me ! I LOVE HER VOICE !
I STILL CANT BELIEVE SHE DIDNT WIN AMERICAN IDOL. SHE IS WAY TOO TALENTED UGHHHHHH
I love her...she got soul and I can hear it in her voice
Jesus. She's awesome! If I just heard her voice and didn't see the video I woulda never known she was only 13. Amazing~~
^*
Good
SimplyYue. yes she is💯 amazing beautiful❤
Hi I'm Priscilla from Louisiana you have a beautiful voice

Clicked on out of curiosity, saw the young girl, and never expected that voice! What a pleasant surprise. Etta James would be so proud!!

Much love to this girl to this beautiful Filipina Queen. You are beautiful Anak keep singing.
wow. just wow. I was not expecting that voice! Amazing!
Keep an eye out for this young lady for she is definitely going places.
Sadly no one offered her a record contract after she lost to the white dude with the guitar on Idol. Nowadays I watch her music videos on You Tube and videos of her guesting stints in the Philippines where she gets invited quite often.
Why isnt she famous yet?! Shes better than some of the famous ones out there! Damn!

You can never go wrong with an Etta James song. She was just that unique.
2021 and I'm just discovering this. Incredible talent. I love the classics, gives me hope this generation can also be great.
I am a huge Etta fan and this girl brought something different God bless her

Jade K Making-up Jessica to appear as Etta would be simple. Etta actually looked like a Filo. From the docos about her, she has Filipino ancestry.
That's pure Talent Right there, God bless girl, God gave you a gift!!, Keep using it
I love your voice and the energy in your singing.
This girl has MAD talent! This song is a true classic & she nailed it! Even gave herself a thumbs up! Beyonce is the only other person I've heard sing this song this damn good!
beth harts version is best
robert cooke Na - Ruby Turner (live at Ronnie Scotts)
This is actually Etta James song. Not beyonce. Give credit to original artist.
Amazing voice I Loved every min of it...
Wow! That background music is not enough for such a powerful and beautiful voice! This video... wow.
OMG This little girl is amazing. You need a record label.
She gave me goosebumps.

Jessica baby girl "You Betta Sing"!!! Love your version of this song.👍✌️🎤
The best cover, I love your voice.
Maravilhoso! Mesmo carisma de Etta ao cantar essa linda canção!!!
She keeps it simple, but has her own touch to the song. I love her rendition the best so far compared to Beyonce's and Christina's.
Dot in uk just found this lady and wow what a voice. Respect love and thanks. Awsome you are as good as it gets and deserve recognition 💥🔊🔥
2017 still listening…!it's no joke when a Pilipino had a microphone in front of them!they'll own it
I loved this cover so much
Truly a gift
Who else is here 2019?
Your mother. Fuck off.
She's amazing!!!
Nobody...just you.

How wonderful. When the soul works, this is what you see. The wonder of the heart. This is straight from the heart. Awesome
