It amazes me that these judges judges let singer go thru that can’t sing. Nia has a beautiful voice. I hate to say it but they gave 2nd chances to those who were not as talented. Not just her but others as well. Maybe we need another show that will judge fairly
Girl sang that! But you don’t want to be a weak link for anybody honey. Natural beauty, she gonna be extra why they dress her up, love the Pom Pom hairdo.
@Try Again ok I can say whitney got 11 number one singles in the duration of her career. Only of 4 of those songs she co wrote . The other 7 she did covers of other peoples songs. And whitney's biggest hit was I will always love you . Written by Dolly Parton ? So whitney was a great technically. But to be the best musician..? Woul require her writing her own songs . IT would require whitney to at least have 25 number 1 hits . And it would require her to have written them all .
Aretha, Ella, Billie.... they all just did a high-five in heaven listening to this one! Either that, or one of them decided to come back in this girl's body!
She should win it all. She's better than anyone that they've ever had on there. Hell she shouldn't even be there right now, she should already have a record deal somewhere produce in her own music right now! And she's only going to get better!
U can’t judge that - u can just feel blessed to be in the presence of. I just can’t wait to see Miss Grace and Miss Nia on stage together- a new era 🧡💜💚💙❤️
I have watched her sing this at least 50 times already and I keep rewinding to watch it again. lol It’s not often a singer can make me do that. What a unbelievable voice!! She hit every note to perfection. A true talent. I could listen to her all day long
I love her voice. Old soul. She has the perfect name for a soul singer as well. She I think will have a career no matter the results of this show. Many do better that didn't win. Good luck Now!
This proves that the music industry is whack cause people that mumble get record deals and people like this girl are out here! She's incredible like take my money I'll buy her album!!
@@powers6253 lol that if I specified a race I was not apart of it would be inappropriate and tacky. 🥴 however addressing soemthing within black culture as a black person shows how we identify. 🙄
@@YouOnMeOnYou I'm missing how the way this young lady responded is a black thing and not a people thing - not that all people respond that way but that it doesn't have anything to do with their race.
Oh, wow! She’s only 17 but she has an old soul! She sounds like she’s been through a lot, lol. What a magnificent voice she has! Definitely final round material. Aretha Franklin is in Heaven smiling down on Nia.
She's in the wrong place. A recording studio is where she should be. Her precious time is being wasted with these judges. She doesn't need their approval or opinions. Shows like this are cool but they don't have alternatives for people like her. They need to create a different show for 'Advanced, Ultimate singers. Just saying!
I don’t the they need to create a new show for the *rarest* of cases - like Nia - who already have EVERYTHING they need. They need a ‘sponsor’ or champion or mentor - who will introduce them to the industry, guide them, get them into recording studios, maybe mentor their writing… what ever it is - they need the opportunity to just SING, and start the career they are born to have (IF - that’s what they want of course)
Why is there so many hatred people. She is amazing, she's a natural. Even if she doesn't make it through the end she is already a Star someone else will take her in and make her dreams come true.
Watched this a few times now she is super impressive for a 17 years old, extremely well executed. Effortless and not overdone like most other millennials Would try to do.
Love, love, love her voice!! She gave me that Oleta Adams vibe with a touch of Laylah Hathaway. Sing songbird, spread tour wings like an eagle and soar!!!!!
This girl is the whole package right this minute! (Just watched the show on demand, so I'm awe-struck a few weeks late!) She brought me from the next room as soon as she opened her mouth. Good heavens, she is ready to win this damn thing TONIGHT. Chills running up and down my spine even on repeated listens. And LOOK at her! She looks like an album cover at her audition!
You got a NIA VOICE GIRL!!! It’s only yours and is perfect......... Beautiful voice ! we had lost so many wonderful artists..we need you. Love it love it🎼🎶🎹 I predict you are going to win American idol
Correction They're voices are POWERFUL instruments given by GOD himself. Once again, we have been BLESSED to have the voice of a Angel 😇 here with us. Just like Fantasia looked up to Aretha. There's going to be someone to look up to her.
I keep coming here over and over just where it all began, the voice, the arrangement of the songs, the body movement singing from the heart the smile confidence and simplicity of it all put together is a home run for me.Thanks and shalom

Yes!!!
Her voice is stunning, her look is fierce..she's the whole package
@Pencil Cube yes🤨

Girl ur on fire . All the best life has to offer.
For real she is ready!! While package!!!
@Pencil Cube they aren’t called Mickey Mouse ears 😒
She doesn’t even need to compete with anyone. She should get a record deal. Period.
Righhht💓👣👣
I agree she is great
Period

She already sounds like a recording star. So effortless and incredible.
IMAGINE her singing “I Put A Spell on You”....the vibe are immaculate 🥰🥰🥰
Yesss
YAS
Oh yessss ur so right
I'd pay good money to hear that.
Sing itLady!!!❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶👍👍👍
And she's only 17. Great voice. Go win girl.
Imagine that....she is only 17....Wow
The next Aretha Franklin. I bet she can hit those high B5 and C6 notes too.
Wait... What? Really? Omg she is amazing!
What I said? Thought she was at least 30 & that voice😍
That was not an audition. That was a damn concert. Someone sign her NOW.
Yes it was
Right?!
EXACTLY !
Amen
She sound like she was recording the song. That voice is BEAUTIFUL
She doesn't need this show at all. Somebody needs to sign her right now!
Aretha is smiling down from heaven saying sing baby sing.
Yes indeed
You took the words right out of my mouth!! Yasssss 👌🏾👌🏾
Aretha Franklin could be a bit salty at times, so I'm not sure about that. LOL
@@scribe712 😜
Aretha, Ella, Billie.... they all just did a high-five in heaven listening to this one! Either that, or one of them decided to come back in this girl's body!
WOW! The maturity in her voice is breathtaking and her control is amazing. What I really like is that she doesn't try to sing outside her range.
Nope, she is not 17. That is a soul that has lived through some things. She gives Nina Simone, Mahalia Jackson, Aretha. With a tone like Oleta Adams.
Bro♥️
I agree!! Her voice is everything
@Jermaine Durham creep
It's scary because the 2000s Babies are looking older than us 90s babies. She's does have a soulful powerhouse voice.
Yea
Babygirl didn’t even break a sweat 🥳 u got my vote
she could win the show
@JagBrit wait n see
She should win it all. She's better than anyone that they've ever had on there.
Hell she shouldn't even be there right now, she should already have a record deal somewhere produce in her own music right now! And she's only going to get better!
@JagBrit so your cosigning the racist rhetoric in this country huh? Interesting.
I strongly agree
@@ninij9692 yes so far and i think her biggest competition is benson boone because he has social media by his side and thats a WEAPON
U can’t judge that - u can just feel blessed to be in the presence of. I just can’t wait to see Miss Grace and Miss Nia on stage together- a new era 🧡💜💚💙❤️
THIS GIRL CAN SING HOUSE DOWN. WOW SHE IS REALLY GOOD. PUT HER IN THE STUDIO.
She can skip AI right now and somebody would sign her,but she can't.
Holy crap! I wasn’t expected that! Such a rich and developed voice.
She has a GROWN woman's voice!🙏

Yes those whispering ladies... I definitely know what you are talking about 🤣🤣
I got goosebumps when she opened her mouth to sing!!😱
So did I
I had goosebumps the whole time!
Me too
😂 that was the most black “I clearly stepped into something weird” reaction 😂... “oh.. Kay... 👀 “
Lol i peeped that too
What does that mean for the white, asian, and middle eastern kids I've seen react to something that way?
@@powers6253 lol that if I specified a race I was not apart of it would be inappropriate and tacky. 🥴 however addressing soemthing within black culture as a black person shows how we identify. 🙄

Girl......it’s the soul in your voice for me👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
These judges make this show fun. No need to be mean and stressed out. Hahaha
God gave each of us a gift. She just proved mines was not singing, lol.
🤣me too
For real! Me too! Lol
😂🤣😇
🤣🤣🤣
Right
She be rockin' them afro puffs!
She reminds me of beta junko 😅
@@josianelessard I was thinking of Lady of Rage, who released a hip-hop/rap single in 1994 entitled "Afro Puffs". LOL
Yes she sure is so cute😍
Seriously 🤨
@@vanmonroe4346 I rock rough and tough with my AfroPuffs
Rage, rock on with ya bad self🎶 my jam back in the day! LoL
That child got depth and you can't teach that....that's just pure raw talent
She reminds me of those singers in the 60's and 70's who looked a lot older than they were, like Otis Redding. Talent matures.
The voice. The outfit. The hair. THE HOOPS! All around STAR ✨

its called "the voice"

What in the Aretha Franklin did my ears just get blessed with????
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 yes I agree
SHE WILL PROBABLY WIN THE AMERICAN IDOL. SHE NEEDS TO BE IN THE STUDIO MAKING ALBUMS
Absolutely
Why is there so many hatred people. She is amazing, she's a natural. Even if she doesn't make it through the end she is already a Star someone else will take her in and make her dreams come true.
Like Simon said before - sometimes it’s better not to when because you can make your own decisions...
@@leonalove336 not to?
I feel like she was holding back. She made that look way too easy to be on par with an Aretha Franklin song.
Nia Renee no doubt she's the next Queen of Soul. Her voice is enough powerful to win Anerican Idol 2021👏👏👏👏👏
Watched this a few times now she is super impressive for a 17 years old, extremely well executed. Effortless and not overdone like most other millennials Would try to do.
She doesn’t even realize what a legend she is going to be.
She sounds like the one to watch out for this season!
I dont typically listen to soul but she brought tears to my eyes I loved it and someone like this could change my mind totally!! Amazing performance!
I am not sure why I cried but I did she's awesome she's a star
If I was a judge I would've thrown my chair as soon as she started singing 😂😂
😂😂
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
As a native Arkansan myself, I've never been more proud to know someone was from my state. 🥰🥰🥰✨✨✨
17!!!! Wow!!! She gave me the chills. I know who I’m voting for this year😊
Lionel Richie took me out. "Yes you are."
Me too 😂🤣
SHE LOOKS GORGEOUS SHE IS SWEET SHE CAN SING 🎤 AMÉN 🙏🇺🇸🇮🇹🇮🇪🇪🇸🇩🇴🌞🌻💜
I just like how they played Fantasia after she got the golden ticket.
This young lady can sang oh my goodness. She should go straight to get a record deal.
17 sounding like a 30 year old ! Great control and a soulful delivery. It comes naturally
This is my winner already. The first time I watched Sam I just knew she was going to win. Today I had the same feeling watching this young lady.
Love, love, love her voice!! She gave me that Oleta Adams vibe with a touch of Laylah Hathaway. Sing songbird, spread tour wings like an eagle and soar!!!!!
Stage presence, range, personality, likability - SHE'S THE TOTAL PACKAGE!!!!
Love her voice and how she presents herself. Much success young lady
She’s going to be a legend

We need to talk about her and her moms amazing outfits 🤩🤩🤩
She sounds so professional.
I’m going to tell you she is precious. I loved hearing her sweet southern voice. She could win it all!
We may have a winner. Sounds like the background song was fantasia singing. This girl could be the next fantasia
Correction
They're voices are POWERFUL instruments given by GOD himself. Once again, we have been BLESSED to have the voice of a Angel 😇 here with us. Just like Fantasia looked up to Aretha.
There's going to be someone to look up to her.
I thought Fantasia as soon as she started singing.
She is better than fantasa
She has a awesome voice. She will make it a long way. I am in love with her voice. I can hear her all day.
Omg she is really good.
Oh my word shes so amazing!!! I hope Idols doesnt drown this precious strong soulful voice.
Go girl!!! Queen of Little Rock soul!!!!
OMG I need more Nia Renee songs in my life and in my phone please. My soul loves it. Thank you for sharing your blessed talent Nia Renee!!!
Wow, she is fantastic!
I could listen to her all day! So smooth! Love it!
Wow the best voice in the audition so far
Every time I listen to her sing this song, I can only smile and want to hear her sing it again.
got me chills right away she start singing
I keep coming here over and over just where it all began, the voice, the arrangement of the songs, the body movement singing from the heart the smile confidence and simplicity of it all put together is a home run for me.Thanks and shalom
She’s so good
Absolutely beautiful, she deserves to be recording. She made Aretha proud.
WE NEED ANOTHER POWER HOUSE VOICE ON THE RADIO. STAY GROUNDED AND YOU WILL MAKE IT BIG AND BE ON ALL THE RADIO SHOWS SINGING.
Wow this is real Talent! She sings so effortlessly! Beautiful!
Girl if you don’t sang,shit that was crazy
I know she is the real thing. May God Bless her in every way!!!
She is some kind of next level Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson out of this world singer. Wow
Amazing voice. I was blown away by the strength and control of her voice. Such a classic and soulful voice❤
That is a beautiful old soul in that young body. Refreshing and so different for our youth.
A star is born🙌
She came out the gate SANGING !!!!!! She sounds like a woman that’s live through a life of heartbreak 🥲
Girl let me tell you that’s her past life having a voice foreal
Lots of people can sing. Lots of people can belt. But very few can make you feel it when they are singing. She 's got it. She's got her own.
One of the best auditions on Idol history
Her voice brought chills to me. Great job!!!
Shes the dark horse...thats soul sista as compare to the other over the top contestant midnight train to georgia...this lady is the real deal!
My eyes are watering and my skin is full of goose bumps 💕 this woman is amazing!!!

Talk about Soul.... beautiful ❤️ she the one 🥰
17??????? Wow..... she really could win
What pipes! This girl can sing!!!
She had my heart the moment she started singing... the richness and clarity is amazing!!!!
God given talent
I love this! Y'all are so awesome!!
She shocked the hell out of me from the first note. sheesh!
I love her! I got to see her open up for Leah Jenea “The Four” at the Nut House in Little Rock, Ar. She performs like a true professional 😍😍
THANKS for giving us the winner first.. 🙏 SINGING FROM THE SOUL IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF SINGING...❤️❤️🥰🙏
