That last girl was too cool for american idol. "Sorry, we can't turn you into a commercialized marketable commodity and you're probably not very good at lip syncing, so... no."
Waterpoet1 I think so too! I can totally relate to her with the braces and music thing. It's so unfair how people who aren't the model of perfect-looking human beings are almost always cut :-/
If Jessica becomes big after coming to Ellen, it's gonna be embarrassing for the judges that said no. Ellen's brought so many RUclips talents on her show that became big. At least Jessica won't need to be in the American Idol process anymore and she can head straight to stardom.
I totally agree with Ellen & JLo. Jessica is such a good one. I really thought she's good enough to get a golden ticket. Keith & the other judge should have at least gave her another chance.
Well, several people got rejected on American Idol and made it big. Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum, Colbie Caillat auditioned with Bubbly and didn't make it, Glee stars Amber Riley and Naya Rivera
Isabel Jacobsen I thought that girl was really good, she kinda have a Norah Jones sound to her voice. And she was way better than some of the ones they let though
tatsuo71 They are also known for not picking people who sound too much like other music stars. If she sounded too much like Norah Jones, then that's a reason why they wouldn't pick her. We don't need two of her.
I was SO pissed that they didn't accept Jessica! My Mom and I were SHOCKED! I wasn't even paying attention at first, and I thought that her singing was actually background music they were playing and I saw it was her I was like WOW, and then they said no! I'm glad you feel the same way Ellen, maybe enough people were like "WHAT THE HELL" for them to realize they made a big mistake!
Yes !!!! i thought her singing was a established singers song playing in the background for special effects.Then i realized it was her !! and then they said no !!!! SAD :(
I've watched every show so far and it can be frustrating. There have been many people that they didn't put through that were great, and others they put through that were not even as good as the people they wouldn't put through.
As I posted above, I think they might have refused the second girl because she didn't hit any impressive high notes. Most of her notes were the same level so she didn't show any range. Beautiful voice though.
SplashAndHerCupcake I never said there's something "wrong" with her image. I think she looked fine too. I'm talking about the judges' perspectives. And as I stated the first time, it's my OPINION, so I don't know if it's a fact or not. Just what I observed from watching.
I also screamed. Keith and Harry are CRAZY!!!!! How on earth can they not give someone with an amazing voice like her the golden ticket to Hollywood?!? 😧😡
it's definitely a good thing they said no or else Ellen wouldn't have wanted her on the show. and performing on Ellen is definitely better than american idol ! she's lucky :)
uhm, is there a part of the audition where keith and harry explained why they said no (except harry saying that she's not ready)? their decision is quite stupid. jen is right, they slipped the girl away from stardom.
Yeahhhh... Ever since the original 3 judges left, AI has gone downhill for me ! I don't even watch a single episode of it anymore. It just doesn't feel the same :/
I think it's stupid how they're always like "I don't think you're ready" when they're not supposed to be judging on that. They're supposed to be judging on if their voices are good or not, not "of they're ready" to go onto the stage full of people. I want the original team back
She has a lovely voice, however, it's not mainstream. THAT'S the problem. The talent that comes out of Idol is completely manufactured. They want the voices that appeal to current mainstream trends. It sucks.
Looks kind of like Helena Bonham Carter, but I saw this and thought it was absurd how they let girls with weaker voices in and not her. Haha hope she makes it back, or somewhere..
At the beginning before the second girls part, they were playing her singing behind their voices. We were like oh my gosh that song is so good what song is that?! And then they said no to her, we were also screaming at the TV.
i haven't watched American Idol this year, but after seeing this clip, saying no to Jessica, i was really shocked...i don't know if the first judge is a singer, (i know he is an actor), but he needs to reconsider...Jessica was amazing...i don't think they have the right judges this season... but please Jessica, call Ellen to perform on her show...make him a believer and make him eat his mistake for letting you go...
I absolutely agree with you Ellen! Jessica should have been put through, she was my favorite out of everyone. Thanks for putting her in the spotlight, she really deserved to get that golden ticket.
100% agree with Ellen!! I couldn't believe it. She was the first and only contestant I really liked. I would buy her music right now if she had a record deal. She was flawless. How the heck did they cut her?!?! Absolute madness. And yet they let Wonder Mike's daughter through to Hollywood even though she couldn't sing her way out of a paper bag! I guess it really is all about who you know.
and Carrie Underwood and Phillip Phillips and Adam Lambert and from Canadian idol the lead singer of one republic lol all of them have had world wide music or a number one hit
I would say Carrie Underwood was just as famous as Kelly, but other then that, no other winners were really as popular. There were some that were contestants that made it (Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Picker, Adam Levign, Clay Akin...) but none of the WINNERS really ever did anything else.
sophia saunders sorry but Carrie might be famous in America but here in Europe no one know who the hell is she. Being contestant not making AI good contest. They can go to Xfactor being competition but if they are not in final u can't say thank's to this program they became big.
***** Harry is not one of the best lol thats an obvious opinion, I could ask 100 people if they even know who that fucking is and I would safely say 10 of them would say I think i've heard of him.
They literally denied so many best selling stars before they became famous. Check out clevvernews they had a list of celebs that American idol denied its just ridiculous
This is exactly why I prefer The X Factor over American Idol. She has a beautiful voice, I'm glad Ellen is willing to help her out (: . Just like Alex Kinsey. SMH. American Idol rejected him and he has incredible talent. Luckily he won The X Factor last season with his beautiful GF Sierra Deaton. (: And the poster situation was too funny ! I'm still laughing ;D
She has a naturally soft and frail voice which is really pretty, but that could help her or hurt her. She could sing soft pop or a category like that and have a really successful career, or the judges could change her like they always do and make her sing a rock, hard pop, or other type song category like that which could hurt her. But she has a really pretty and soothing voice that I would love to hear on the radio or album.
I think they might have refused the second girl because she didn't hit any impressive high notes. Most of her notes were the same level so she didn't show any range.
I agree with James. In fact you don't need anything to be defined as a good singer at all. Hitting high notes mean nothing as long as Ellen doesn't like them. If Ellen likes it, being average is the same as being unique
James Noah I agree with you James. She sounded good but I think the judges are looking for not just a beautiful voice but also a good range and emotion. She didn't show much range. And not enough emotion. In their opinion anyway.
American Idol should just be cancelled. These new judges (except for JLo) can't tell good from rubbish. I turned on the TV the other day and this show came on and one of the auditions was some club singer and he was literally nonsense and he got 3 Yeses. What a travesty.
And that's why we all have opinions. The show won't be cancelled, not anytime soon. Too many people love the idea of putting it all on the line for a chance at glory, especially people who wouldn't have a chance any other way. There are plenty of people who have been recognized, and became big stars just because they were on American Idol.
That's my sister, Samantha Furtwengler!! :) Despite the awkward sign, we are really proud of her and think the judges DEFINITELY got it wrong this year!
Jlo was the only judge that made the right decision
yes, she made the right decision
I am the crazy aunt who tosses the sign for my niece! Thank you, Ellen for my ten seconds of fame! What a fun and funny day this has been.
WHAT??
@@jeremydaud9815 , not very attentive, huh?
That last girl was too cool for american idol. "Sorry, we can't turn you into a commercialized marketable commodity and you're probably not very good at lip syncing, so... no."
I agree. I'm pretty sure the guys only said no because she wore braces and wasn't a model. Like, come on people.
musicismylyf
Yeah. But I think she's quite cute. :)
hit the nail on the head Waterpoet1! I agree 100%.
Waterpoet1 I think so too! I can totally relate to her with the braces and music thing. It's so unfair how people who aren't the model of perfect-looking human beings are almost always cut :-/
@@SuperMrKnowItAll1234 i think her voice need a little bit more training and work to be good enough but in the future she definitely could be
If Jessica becomes big after coming to Ellen, it's gonna be embarrassing for the judges that said no. Ellen's brought so many RUclips talents on her show that became big. At least Jessica won't need to be in the American Idol process anymore and she can head straight to stardom.
wise words...
How would that be embarrassing at all? They are just trading audience as an arbitrage..
Ellen is AWESOME! She wants to help the girl because she thinks she has a great voice. I think so too.
I totally agree with Ellen & JLo. Jessica is such a good one. I really thought she's good enough to get a golden ticket. Keith & the other judge should have at least gave her another chance.
Keli Stone Harry should change his name to Harry "Corny" Jr. since I find his jokes not funny at all. He's so trying hard.
harry's great, sometimes
*given :)
I agree with JLo they are crazy and let a good one slip away!
Well, several people got rejected on American Idol and made it big. Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum, Colbie Caillat auditioned with Bubbly and didn't make it, Glee stars Amber Riley and Naya Rivera
I never knew that! thats crazy! american idol judges really don't know what they are doing most of the time lol :)
Isabel Jacobsen I thought that girl was really good, she kinda have a Norah Jones sound to her voice. And she was way better than some of the ones they let though
yeah i agree she was great

elcamp3 True, but I wish that they would have elaborate more and not just saying you're not ready. Give a little more critique that could help her.
I was SO pissed that they didn't accept Jessica! My Mom and I were SHOCKED! I wasn't even paying attention at first, and I thought that her singing was actually background music they were playing and I saw it was her I was like WOW, and then they said no! I'm glad you feel the same way Ellen, maybe enough people were like "WHAT THE HELL" for them to realize they made a big mistake!
same thing happened to me I thought her singing was background music ! and was shocked when they said no.
Yes !!!! i thought her singing was a established singers song playing in the background for special effects.Then i realized it was her !! and then they said no !!!! SAD :(
simon cowell would say yes ! :p
yeah, i also think she should rather wait for the new X factor
Homid Tursunbaev THE VOICE!!
Yesss even he would
Im so glad that JLo said yes. that girl knows talent :)
BRING HER ON THE SHOW Ellen!!
I've watched every show so far and it can be frustrating. There have been many people that they didn't put through that were great, and others they put through that were not even as good as the people they wouldn't put through.
I would listen to that girl's album any day! ): Her voice is so calming & she handled the turn down so modestly
Alex and Sierra auditioned for American idol and didn't make it because they didn't like them. Look at them now. They won x-factor
PLEASE BRING HER TO THE SHOW, ugh i was so mad.
dayuum Ellen using her power to challenge American Idol! hahaha nice!
She was cute tho :).. And yeah she can sing. Shoulda tried the X factor
Agreed.
or the voice
Megan Fox
mhm yep.
omg why did they do that to the last contestant? beautiful voice!
Yes put her on the show!!!!! I would totally buy her album!!!! Her voice is AMAZING
I feel like they said "no" to the second girl because of her image rather than her voice. Just my opinion.
What is wrong with her image? She looked fine.
As I posted above, I think they might have refused the second girl because she didn't hit any impressive high notes. Most of her notes were the same level so she didn't show any range. Beautiful voice though.
SplashAndHerCupcake I never said there's something "wrong" with her image. I think she looked fine too. I'm talking about the judges' perspectives. And as I stated the first time, it's my OPINION, so I don't know if it's a fact or not. Just what I observed from watching.
I loved that Jessica girl! Couldn't believe they said no to her.
I also screamed. Keith and Harry are CRAZY!!!!! How on earth can they not give someone with an amazing voice like her the golden ticket to Hollywood?!? 😧😡
She is amazing!!! they made a horrible decision not sending her through! Can't wait to see her on Ellen!!!!
Everyone should share this and get Jessica on the show.
In Australia and watching American idol.when I saw Jessica I thought this is seriously the winner and then to find she was dropped????? Crazy!
I actually seen this too while watching it. Lmao I laughter so hard. "She's like put that away!"
it's definitely a good thing they said no or else Ellen wouldn't have wanted her on the show. and performing on Ellen is definitely better than american idol ! she's lucky :)
Someone please told Jessica about this and make her call Ellen!!
and someone most told you how awful your grammar is :)
arushi ganguly really? Well I'm sorry english is not my mother's language :p
same here
arushi ganguly Well but still we understand what he's trying to say it's all good right?
koalabieren Forget it, he's among the grammar Nazi
uhm, is there a part of the audition where keith and harry explained why they said no (except harry saying that she's not ready)? their decision is quite stupid. jen is right, they slipped the girl away from stardom.
i thought I was the only one that noticed that the woman snatched the poster from her at the beginning lololol
What a lucky girl! Not getting into American Idol was probably the best thing that could have happened to her!
Yeahhhh... Ever since the original 3 judges left, AI has gone downhill for me ! I don't even watch a single episode of it anymore. It just doesn't feel the same :/
I was screaming when the guys said no to Jessica too
I agree with Ellen thanks for giving her another shot. The only good thing about idol now is audition week and jlo.
Maybe it was Jessica's faith because guest what...now she's going to perform on the Ellen show. So happy for her!
I think it's stupid how they're always like "I don't think you're ready" when they're not supposed to be judging on that. They're supposed to be judging on if their voices are good or not, not "of they're ready" to go onto the stage full of people. I want the original team back

Bring her on the show!!
YAY ELLEN for giving her one more change!
i remember how ellen says she always agreed with jennifer...and also how good ellen is at predicting things.
At the beginning before the second girls part, they were playing her singing behind their voices. We were like oh my gosh that song is so good what song is that?! And then they said no to her, we were also screaming at the TV.
i haven't watched American Idol this year, but after seeing this clip, saying no to Jessica, i was really shocked...i don't know if the first judge is a singer, (i know he is an actor), but he needs to reconsider...Jessica was amazing...i don't think they have the right judges this season... but please Jessica, call Ellen to perform on her show...make him a believer and make him eat his mistake for letting you go...
harry is a singer :) just so you know
meltingchickens
well lol now i have to doubt him seeing how he turned this girl down...
kodolol i know. I like him, but he has had a few lapses in judgement with auditions!
Good!!!!! she is so good Thank you Ellen!
Jlo should have stood up more for the girl rather than just saying yes. those two guys clearly have no idea what they're doing there.
I absolutely agree with you Ellen! Jessica should have been put through, she was my favorite out of everyone. Thanks for putting her in the spotlight, she really deserved to get that golden ticket.
She was awesome why would they say no..wtf...get her on the show ASAP
We need to get her on the ellen show, She was amazing. I hope we can make that happen.
She has a pure raw talent
100% agree with Ellen!! I couldn't believe it. She was the first and only contestant I really liked. I would buy her music right now if she had a record deal. She was flawless. How the heck did they cut her?!?! Absolute madness. And yet they let Wonder Mike's daughter through to Hollywood even though she couldn't sing her way out of a paper bag! I guess it really is all about who you know.
Channing Tatum is on THURSDAYYYYYYYYY!
I knew Ellen would save the day!! This girl could've won!! I was so beyond shocked that they let her go! Can't wait to see her!!
THIS IS WHY I LOVE ELLEN SO MUCH HOLY CRAP
While watching the show I thought she was a professional recording through the montage!! Then I saw her and I was so sure they would put her through!!
Jessica !!! she sounded amazing and you've got some fans in the Uk because of that audition. I hope u call Ellen and we see u on her show soon.
It's cuz American Idol wants another Carrie Underwood or Kelly Clarkson with their powerful voices, but not every popular artist or song is like that.
Ellen you should be a judge. Great call, can't wait to hear her on your show.
Ellen was a judge for one season and didn't like it.
why American Idol is still on? How many people became artist after this? Kelly is only one who really make big in world wide music.
and Carrie Underwood and Phillip Phillips and Adam Lambert and from Canadian idol the lead singer of one republic lol all of them have had world wide music or a number one hit
and scotty mcquire or whatever his name is
I would say Carrie Underwood was just as famous as Kelly, but other then that, no other winners were really as popular. There were some that were contestants that made it (Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Picker, Adam Levign, Clay Akin...) but none of the WINNERS really ever did anything else.
sophia saunders lol and whatever his name is
sophia saunders
sorry but Carrie might be famous in America but here in Europe no one know who the hell is she. Being contestant not making AI good contest. They can go to Xfactor being competition but if they are not in final u can't say thank's to this program they became big.
I hope she gets on Ellen's show! Thank you Ellen for helping her :)
Ellen: this girl can be used
People in the comment section (and Ellen's audience in general): OMG!! Thanks for saving this girl!!!
this is the reason I stopped watching American idol, they dont know talent when they hear it
Only the newer judges. the old judges were genius
***** Harry is not one of the best lol thats an obvious opinion, I could ask 100 people if they even know who that fucking is and I would safely say 10 of them would say I think i've heard of him.
***** I go to a music school (schoolofRock) ill go around there :D
***** Its not a fucking rock school its a music school, its named schoolofrock
They literally denied so many best selling stars before they became famous. Check out clevvernews they had a list of celebs that American idol denied its just ridiculous
How the fuck could they say no to Jessica ? o.o
This is exactly why I prefer The X Factor over American Idol. She has a beautiful voice, I'm glad Ellen is willing to help her out (: . Just like Alex Kinsey. SMH. American Idol rejected him and he has incredible talent. Luckily he won The X Factor last season with his beautiful GF Sierra Deaton. (:
And the poster situation was too funny ! I'm still laughing ;D
I agree! That girl has such a nice and sweet voice! You don't need to have a powerhouse voice to be amazing!
I'm actually surprised. I would have thought that HCJr and KU would have said yes to her and JLo not.
Getting rejected on Idol is going to be best thing that has happened to that girl Jessica now.
She has a naturally soft and frail voice which is really pretty, but that could help her or hurt her. She could sing soft pop or a category like that and have a really successful career, or the judges could change her like they always do and make her sing a rock, hard pop, or other type song category like that which could hurt her. But she has a really pretty and soothing voice that I would love to hear on the radio or album.
Why did she get kicked off then? Besides the fact that most of the judges are idiots.
im so glad ellen is going to have her on show bravo ellen you have great ear
Girl, you don't need american idol. Make it big in the world by yourself!!!
Wow the fact that Ellen is putting someone on a platform like that that is just great. I love Ellen .
I was so confused when they said no I thought she sounded amazing.
She has that Corinne Bailey Rae voice, and it's awesome!
Hey guys I just checked Jessica's channel and she says SHE'S GOING TO APPEAR AT ELLEN'S SHOW
OMG this girl was my favorite too ! I was so surprised when they told her no !
Ellen just did an I your face American Idol.
I think they might have refused the second girl because she didn't hit any impressive high notes. Most of her notes were the same level so she didn't show any range.
But she had her own tone. You don't NEED to hit high notes to define you as a "good singer." She has her own genre and she rocked it.
I agree with James. In fact you don't need anything to be defined as a good singer at all. Hitting high notes mean nothing as long as Ellen doesn't like them. If Ellen likes it, being average is the same as being unique
James Noah I agree with you James. She sounded good but I think the judges are looking for not just a beautiful voice but also a good range and emotion. She didn't show much range. And not enough emotion. In their opinion anyway.
I found Jessica Bassett on Instagram and she's going to be on Ellen Monday. Congrats to her!
OMG AMERICAN IDOL WAS PLAYING LORDES SONG A WORLD ALONE BEHIND JESSICA! :O
OMG Ellen u are amazing! Jessica must be over the moon now :')
YES! Ellen has a big heart. I love how she did this. I think Jessica deserves it.
I think you're absolutely right Ellen! Give that girl another chance. She had a great unique voice.
My mum and I were screaming at the TV about that too!! We were like "IS THIS A JOKE?!"
i just love the way ellen supports undiscovered talents!!
That girl deserves a chance
Yeah, that beautiful girl certainly was amazing!!!!
I totally agree with Ellen...and i'm glad Ellen called her on a show :))
PUT HER ON THE SHOWWW! I'd buy her albums
I hope she gets on the show!! :) I loved her voice!
I was SO pissed when they said no to her! I agree with Ellen and J-Lo.
LOL I noticed that part too when she came out!
She took it soo well!
I totally agree. I couldn't believe she didn't make it through!
She had a naturally gorgeous voice; that's disappointing! She needs to call Ellen
I Like that family and Their Confidence....and i appreciate it
Ellen Call her!! She was honestly amazing!! Jennifer Call Her!!!
Aww Ellen that's so sweet of you!! Great call! 😃
American Idol should just be cancelled. These new judges (except for JLo) can't tell good from rubbish. I turned on the TV the other day and this show came on and one of the auditions was some club singer and he was literally nonsense and he got 3 Yeses. What a travesty.
I actually like Harry Connick Jr. The other two need their ears cleaned.
And that's why we all have opinions. The show won't be cancelled, not anytime soon. Too many people love the idea of putting it all on the line for a chance at glory, especially people who wouldn't have a chance any other way. There are plenty of people who have been recognized, and became big stars just because they were on American Idol.
So Keith Urban and Harry Connick's opinions are trash? Seriously?!
That's my sister, Samantha Furtwengler!! :) Despite the awkward sign, we are really proud of her and think the judges DEFINITELY got it wrong this year!
There's always next year
this is why i love Ellen!! I felt the same way about Jessica! Great great voice!!
