Sahil Vig lol. There's a think called style. Just because most singers can't even sing runs it doesn't mean the ones who can shouldn't do it. Stop following other's ideas. What you would call oversinging I would just call it singing amazingly.
I feel like Simon just judged Tori based on this own taste. Maybe he thinks she sounds winy or something but she is obviously an amazing singer and deserved a yes!
Zix Zizia lmao Jennifer Hudson is SO famous. She did the charts, she did mainstream music, she’s done films, she’s done musical theatre, she has earned massive respect in the industry. I really think you should do some research
Adelyn Tiong their is nothing wrong with Simone's ears. I agree with him. Her voice was all over the place and it was *Annoying*. I really dislike it when people throw their voice around instead of just singing. Here is what #RealMusicSoundsLike. ruclips.net/video/1DOnv_cIh14/видео.html ruclips.net/video/IR9H4dchZFU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/pr1P4r8K7h0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Q5ubZfnKAN4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/kxb9ow_zNIs/видео.html
Right I thought I was the only one who thought that too but yeah I do too so do I 😊😊 she look kind of old enough to actually have that kid/ little girl but yeah I love her too all the same too
Tori not making the live shows is the best thing that could have happened to her. Yes it was a huge disappointment, but God had bigger plans. She got many 'no's from different, but all she needed was one 'yes' from God and she got that yes from her debut album 'Unbreakable Smile'. I believe that it was His will for this to happen. Plus she got more exposure from people watching all over the country. Now she's kickin butt at almost every award show and slaying every single performance, my personal favorite being when she performed at the BET awards. Those who weren't her fans didn't expect the voice that she brought, seeing that she 'wasn't black'. But the first note that came out of her mouth was pure gold, and I think she has a lot more respect from the black community now because of it. I also love how she's so modest. She knows that she doesn't need to be half naked on stage to be famous. "Maybe they'll let me sing songs about real things, and baby who knows, maybe I can sell out shows without taking off my clothes. God made me sexy I don't care if only I know!" That says it all. I'm proud of you Tori! Always keep Jesus first and foremost in your life, and He will continue to bless you. Keep following your dreams, and I promise to buy everything you put out! :D
+AceKpop 😲 i think you got the point. AI isn't going anywhere since many years ago anyway. Why bother competiting in a show that couldn't even promote the winning acts well when she could just worked her own way like what she did? 😍 Can't wait for the new album huhu
She has developed and become a great singer. I think his assessment of her ability at 16 was fairly accurate. Not everyone is great. Not everyone is great at 16. Why is he not allowed to feel she needed more seasoning?
Ughhh yeah some of one directions auditions were crap not gonna lie i agree with this statement like this was a bomb audition yet she didn't get as big.
Wish I looked this good at 16, everytime I see this i'm like "16? There's no way, she's looks so much older". But it's crazy because now she's 25 now and she looks younger lol.
wtf simon likes harsh heavy deep voice and here u have a gem like voice wth divine quality and simon u reject it shame on u i wont ever forget u she is at the level of leona!
Simon is both crazy and sane, crazy cos he said no to Tori even though her techniques are sublime, sane cause I understand he just didn’t like her timbre - maybe a bit too nasally or whiny to him. These days her live performances are so so good
i would cry.....to see this enormous amount talent being neglected ....serious Melody Sweetness(rare these days) Control Power what else her voice is jut so torilicious! what do u want simon heavy raspy hoarsey voices (no offense) or sweet melodious ones!
she was quite affected back then. she’s way better now, she’s found her sound, and she has much better technique. she’s not singing correctly now, but she has improved a lot.

LOOK AT HER NOW SIMON
misscellophane She's still a nobody.
Carmen Constantinescu She’s not. Tori is amazing but everyone has their own opinion so...yeah.
Carmen Constantinescu you’re sitting here writing comments while she’s recording and doing shows. Who’s the nobody here
Kenneth Yeung Such a poorly executed comment. I'm writing this comment as im sitting on a computer on my university campus. Tori who?
still makes you a nobody......
I love how Tori just laughed at Simon's mean jokes
Angel T Just shows how cool she was even back then
Me too
i cannot take simon seriously at all after this
Beth Grace He said Tori's voice is not good and he has even tried to critiques Beyonce's voice. He should never be a judge
She was forcing vocal riffs. Ruined the song
Sahil Vig lol. There's a think called style. Just because most singers can't even sing runs it doesn't mean the ones who can shouldn't do it. Stop following other's ideas. What you would call oversinging I would just call it singing amazingly.
Sahil Vig jessie J hmmmm
Simon doesnt know talent he just likes to be an ass american idol made a huge mistake ever hiring his ass from day 1
Now she's nominated for a Grammy. Good ball Simon.
He needs to apologize.
And she won
Victoria Beckham loved her from the beginning. I wonder how proud she is of her now.
I feel like Simon just judged Tori based on this own taste. Maybe he thinks she sounds winy or something but she is obviously an amazing singer and deserved a yes!
After Simon stopped her and she was like *alright and smiled like a cute ball
Her "Unbreakable Smile"
She's so humble! :)
Same shit he said about Jennifer Hudson, oh okay....
Tasia Talbert where is she now
Zix Zizia Jennifer Hudson?? Lol. On The Voice UK and was on USA. She's way more famous than most people who won AI.
Jake Lindsey not making any mainstream music that anybody knows of. Maybe gospel music!
Zix Zizia lmao Jennifer Hudson is SO famous. She did the charts, she did mainstream music, she’s done films, she’s done musical theatre, she has earned massive respect in the industry. I really think you should do some research
Hannah Durrant she *has*
wtf was wrong with Simon?! wtf was wrong with his ears!?
Adelyn Tiong She was forcing vocal riffs. Ruined the song. But she is a great singer
Adelyn Tiong their is nothing wrong with Simone's ears. I agree with him. Her voice was all over the place and it was *Annoying*. I really dislike it when people throw their voice around instead of just singing. Here is what #RealMusicSoundsLike.

Wynter Rose I totally agree, one hundred percent
She was only 16 too
It is his opinion!
she looks so much older than 16 here. But I still love her :)
Right I thought I was the only one who thought that too but yeah I do too so do I 😊😊 she look kind of old enough to actually have that kid/ little girl but yeah I love her too all the same too
I love how she was so unaffected by Simon's words! You go girl!
I thought Simon knew talent?!? And she took his criticism so well.

she is half black but I agreed with everything else you said
+Arianna Smith I know she's half black. When I said that she 'wasn't black' from the bet show, I meant she doesn't look black. She's fair skinned.
+Kelli Smith oh OK true
Kelli Smith omg yesss
Weird how god had great plans for her in show business and let’s like 3 billion people around the world starve every day
Watching this in 2018...im shook. Tori has grown SO MUCH.
Simon what LMAO
Devin Sumer WHY R U EVERYWHERE
dillytube if you haven't noticed but he don't reply to anyone at all, just goes to a video and leaves a comments everywhere pretty much and that's it
Devin Sumer I
He’s on something else
Now, she’s all over the radio annoying him everyday. An orange?
Simon literally said no, and thought her voice's annoying, but Tori just accepted it calmly. She's so humble. 💗💓❤️
this time simon is wrong very wrong
tori is awesome and talented and beautiful
she has the whole package
alexandra ramirez Agreed. At least the other 3 liked her.
Gorgeous! She took the criticism with a smile ! I love her!!!
AW COME ON SIMON. SHE LITERALLY IS SO GOOD AT SINGING AND HE DIDN'T EVEN GIVE HER MORE THAN 30 SECONDS.
Tori is such a sweetheart simons lucky i dont smack the shit out of him with my flip flops
Cool Redemptions Only
Redemptions Only try a high heel itll hurt more
Tori reaction to what Simon said was so professional n positive. Love her spirit. Keep it up
I don't think Simon has ever been more wrong than this. She was great. Glad the other judges put her through.
Simon's biggest mistake
Sammy Gucci L o l
Ng佩佩 Simon was so wrong about her
Ng佩佩 let him have an opinion
i love tori. she took the negativeness so well
He finds her annoying but yet he formed a group named one direction ? -_-
IKR WHAT THE HELL?!!
Yeah
One direction is perfect so stfu please
Nah I'm okay
Durdane Ayten My face is perfect so stfu please :)
guess what simon, tori kelly is only weeks away from her unbreakable tour and im gonna be there
VICTORIA BECKHAM JUST SAID YOU HAD A GORGEOUS DRESS WHO THE FUCK IS SIMON I CANT OKAY GURL TOP FASHION DESIGNER SAID GORGEOUS DRESS!
Simon pisses me off! He was so cruel to Tori:(
victoria is sooo beautyful i love her hair
Shes sooooo beautiful even shes not famous yet...i think this girl was born to be a star...love yah tori kelly...from philippines😘😘
Kathleen Joy Almosara She’s famous. Just not mainstream famous
Got the tingles. Listen to her from back then to now. One of the best voices I've heard in my life.
Shes one of the best VOCALISTS of her generation.
Simon must feel stupid
He's unapologised. I don't thinl he even thought that much about some stupid shit he did 😤
wait, she's 16 in this audition., haha., she looks older, like late 20s or something., =O
She had a calm cool and collective vibe/attitude when she started singing... I'll say that to out way Simon!
still can't believe she literally lives like 1 minute away from me.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simon? Voice is annoying? Ahaha.... Not as annoying as your 1D group you've made. Look at where she is now without you
+Nathan Pham you think involving someone to this will actually make it okay?
+AceKpop 😲 i think you got the point. AI isn't going anywhere since many years ago anyway. Why bother competiting in a show that couldn't even promote the winning acts well when she could just worked her own way like what she did? 😍 Can't wait for the new album huhu
Don't compare her with one direction please. One direction is not at all annoying.They are totally different.Both are extremely good
omg tori kelly before the fame!! proof never give up on your dreams!!
Simon dropping the ball hard. Tori is amazing beyond words.
Wonder what Simon thinks now, Tori is a Queen....so humble and such a great artist!
he said her voice is "almost annoying"..meanwhile everyone who's ever heard her says her voice is heavenly bliss.
She has developed and become a great singer. I think his assessment of her ability at 16 was fairly accurate. Not everyone is great. Not everyone is great at 16. Why is he not allowed to feel she needed more seasoning?
So One Direction are really big and yet they couldn't sing and she is like not so big and yet she could sing, what is going on in the music industrie
EVER HEARD A FUCKING LIVE ONE DIRECTION SONG?! SERIOUSLY STFU GIRL.
Yeah they suck my god the screeching makes me want to puncture my eardrums
Ughhh yeah some of one directions auditions were crap not gonna lie i agree with this statement like this was a bomb audition yet she didn't get as big.
Jessica Reeves Don't forget Fifth Harmony. He put them together too. LOL
you've obviously haven't heard them live omf
Simon is eating his words now....Kirk Franklin is working with her now.. Her voice is excellent on her new release....
Simon doesnt like when people Riff...
xD maybe cause he cant!
i wish i could riff like her D:
FerChoxz Azuaje he only likes teenager boys and puts them in boy bands, which I always thought of it as really creepy.
^That made me laugh
I cannot believe Simon. Seeing how Tori Kelly has grown now just shows that noone can take anything that God has put in you.
Victoria Beckham was totally on point with everything she said!
Simon is actually a blessing in disguise. Let us not hate him. He fueled Tori to be better at her craft. Tori took it constructively & it made her. 😍
It's so cute seeing the contestants before they make it, because we know of all the amazing things to come to them.
Simon bruh look at her now she is a POPSTAR
Victoria anticipating and knowing Harper wasn't too far away. The way the she held the little girl 😍
Such a huge fan
Does anyone ever take Simon seriously anymore? l stopped a long time ago.
I LOVE TORI KELLY!!!!!!
look at my home girl nowww, LOVE HER
Wish I looked this good at 16, everytime I see this i'm like "16? There's no way, she's looks so much older". But it's crazy because now she's 25 now and she looks younger lol.
Do you feel embarrassed Simon? Now Tori is sooooooo famous! I can't believe your so mean Simon!! Tori sings better than you ever would Simon!!!!!
THE FRICK SIMON YOU EFFED UP!! I love tori she took it so well
Simon is the kind of man who if he's attracted to a woman he'll be rude with her.. grow up you old man
True
I love how when Hope gives her drawings to Victoria she looks like "Yeah..I did a good job"
She needed this rejection to be a great lyricist with life experience, so stop hating on Simon. She passed the audition anyway.
+Marshall Jones Negative remarks do have the power to ultimately build people up, but I don't think it's right to congratulate someone for being rude.
I love you Simon!!!
Lmao "that is a photograph."
Crazy to see her here after seeing her in the lime light! Beautiful humble girl!
I love her voice..
The best thing is... she is still as humble as she is now. 💖
Can we just talk about how she had the agility since she was like 15 , omg ,truly queen
I love how Simon didn’t believe in her. But now, 8 years later she’s more famous than him.
She is gorgeous
wtf simon likes harsh heavy deep voice and here u have a gem like voice wth divine quality and simon u reject it shame on u i wont ever forget u she is at the level of leona!
Vansh Mishra Leona has never had as good of a vocal technique as Tori
Wow tori took it like a champ,,,,love her
THANK YOU SIMON FOR SAYING WHAT WE WERE ALL THINKING. *Her voice makes me want to drive wooden spikes in my eyes*
1:43 i just died!
16!! wow, soo mature.
I'm pretty sure Simon was just so impressed that he was just messing around but idk we'll never know.
Actually if you want I can tell you
She looks so much older than 16
Simon was wrong here
Aww she was so sweet,
Tori is so talented 😊
Simon is both crazy and sane, crazy cos he said no to Tori even though her techniques are sublime, sane cause I understand he just didn’t like her timbre - maybe a bit too nasally or whiny to him. These days her live performances are so so good
Only just heard about her now. How crazy!
2:14 ok that face though. Breaks my heart.🙁
Amazing singer
Simon is nuts! Tori is the absolute best!:)
Simon thought they were mad but they knew something he didn't becuz the jokes on him now. lol!
Haha Simon. Look at her now. Good gosh.
He only thought it was annoying because she has a naturally high voice, if she sang a different song it would have been different
Her teeth 😍 They are so pretty! Pretty unbreakable smile!
She's so humble!!! 😭
She did a great job singing and voice acting in the animated movie"Sing" .
shes soo good
i love when simon eats his words, tori is PROSPERING
OMG I SAW HER AUDITION OMG I CAN'T.
i would cry.....to see this enormous amount talent being neglected ....serious Melody Sweetness(rare these days) Control Power what else her voice is jut so torilicious! what do u want simon heavy raspy hoarsey voices (no offense) or sweet melodious ones!
Look at her now 😊😊😊😊
she was quite affected back then. she’s way better now, she’s found her sound, and she has much better technique. she’s not singing correctly now, but she has improved a lot.
That note at 1:45 😩 how could they not have screamed she had a wonderful voice
Hope is such a confident young girl!
Light voices rarely get any love . Not everyone has to be loud and powerful
years after, she defied the odds winning the damn GRAMMY twice!
