I still remember this being the first performance of the season in 2004 and thinking "holy crap!!!" because it was such an awesome performance. Seeing it again now, I feel the exact same way! It wasn't just her voice, it was how she performed the song... the way she moved, the attitude, the looks. This was my fav AI performance ever.
I will always stan Diana. This was the first live performance of season 3 and I've never forgot it. She was 16. 16! She performed like a pro. I'm so glad she's found Broadway success because she's amazing
She was usually pitchy but it was her young age. She had that broadway/musical theatre style and technique so she actually held up and had tenacity to pull of high notes even when out of breath
I think her finishing 2nd was correct, Fantasia during this show needed it more. Diana, all she needed to was mature in her age cause her voice is crazy amazing
This entire SERIES went downhill from this performance, IMO. I quit watching completely after about season 7 admittedly, but one of the few times when someone did a real pop song in the right way, with the voice to carry it.
falldownhard The whole show started to suck in general around that time, I never watch past season 7 either. I like the much earlier seasons. I love the chemistry between the original judges. The good ole days.
Go back and watch the finale...Diana screwed up 'Don't Cry Out Loud' when she hit the wrong note....BUT..the girl can sing her butt off...HOWEVER...Latoya and Jennifer were ROYALLY screwed...especially Jennifer...JENNIFER should have actually won...don't think so?? Who has had the best career out of Jennifer, Diana, Latoya or Fantasia since Idol?? Not even CLOSE...
kelly clarkson and chris daughtry had the best voices in american idol history imo followed closely by carrie, although im only familiar through the first 6 or so seasons, i dont believe anyone after that (im not an adam lambert fan) was anywhere near carrie or kelly or chris

This was also a young season. Fantasia was only 19. I can't believe we judged these young people so harshly back then. They were kids!
She was just a doll. One of my favorite contestants ever. Specially because of her personality.
Wow she can SING!!!!!!!!!

This girl is real good! Kiki would be proud of her!!
i loved this performance
Proving that she is a finalist for this season.
16 and made it to the finale !!!
I love her!
She was my favorite. 💖
Her outfit is unironicly super current and stylish for 2022 standards.
yep it's like the Y2K fashion that is now trendy again
Best version of this song ever
She can sing!
Great vocal range and a great version of a great Kiki Dee song!
Thanks for putting this up, great song and Diana does it fab!!!
Her new country songs are amazing - when she releases her country debut cd it will be huge, so many great songs and incredible voice !!
Don't know her at all, but sings SUUPER, I am bit jealous, ❤❤❤❤💙💙
probably too young, was 16 years ago, time flies
Diana was my favourite on American Idol of season 3. I liked her because i really like your singing.
Randy thought she was from Hawaii cause she auditioned there 😂😂😂
I chuckled when Randy said "wow I bet hawaii is really proud of you" when they just watched a whole video package about how she's from Georgia
Great singer
Diana, still one of the best singers to have been on Idol! Should have won season 3.
Derrik Grella She should have won AI3 but...
LaBiod Sam I agree.
I stopped watching American Idol after this season cause Diana was robbed. She was much better than Mantasia.
Derrik Grella 9 year old me is still not over it :(
trashybitch1232 I feel you on that. Diana should be a big star by now. I remember when they read the results and I was so upset she didn't win.
LMAO Randy thought she was from Hawaii just because she auditioned there.
mellynumerounoo o Or he had her confused with Camille. Not sure which is worse 😄
Where is sheeeeeee!!!!! The was so goooodddddd
me too!
ack ack
lol She BANGS hahaha
I wonder how many times Eric the Actor rubbed into his sheets to this little number.
he shot his thick midget semen to her barely legal ass many times
Is it weird to say I miss that red couch?!?!?!
She didn't come to play around she flat out turned into a black lady with this which propelled her to the top 2.
i could see this girl incorporating dance in to her style of performance, why didnt she?? she has it in her.
I sang that song in Choir!
besr performance of her
diana got the talent in her for sure. has got what it takes. could be another kiki.
Ack Ack!
I think her finishing 2nd was correct, Fantasia during this show needed it more. Diana, all she needed to was mature in her age cause her voice is crazy amazing
I feel bad for whoever went after her!
So we're just gonna forget that Diana Degarmo got compared to the THE Christina Aguilera? Okay that's fine.
Damn, Ryan was HOT
Simon was wrong about her personality because she ended up on Broadway singing live in NYC every night

She ain't even from Hawaii tho
What race is she?
From Google I remember she has French and Italian roots
She looks Hispanic+Filippino to me and is a very gorgeous woman

sboudreaux27 if Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood were in the same season, would do you think would’ve won?
TheAmbiguousIntrovert damn, that’s a tough question.
@@gavino681 I think Kelly because she had a larger range and was compared to the vocal trinity.
I can't personally stand listening to Jennifer. The diva voice is way too over the top for me.
kelly clarkson and chris daughtry had the best voices in american idol history imo followed closely by carrie, although im only familiar through the first 6 or so seasons, i dont believe anyone after that (im not an adam lambert fan) was anywhere near carrie or kelly or chris
@YOUREAPSOW Hope they wipe first....
She was better than Fantasia.
