pretty sure if she sings about sexuality she'll be more famous. pretty unfortunate indeed. but at least there's still artists like her. they're a rarity
i was sitting at work and you came to mind. I was like ummm let me youtube her and see if she ever came out with her own music and to my surprise this came out a day ago lol wow!!! nothing but amazing, just like i expected!
Maybe you got something here.. I agree, this would launch her into the stratosphere. She puts a lot of singers to shame these days. Her voice is every bit as powerful as Demi Lovato, or Alicia Keys. I still don't think she would beat Jessie J, that woman's voice is Chameleon, but she is like 1 in a billion with her vocal cords.
I hope she wins American idol ...she's one of my favorite contestants and she deserves for everyone to know her name. 🎉 Congrats We!!! ❤ I'll be voting for you!!!
I came onto TH-cam because of her book, “ The little girl with a big voice” that my little sister just brought home. I started reading it a bit and I became really curious as to how her voice sounded so I searched her up here. Her book is really encouraging and is meant for any age to read. I don’t really know her, but I love her already!😁❤️ Her voice is freaking amazing!
I still listen to her music. I believe that she is one of the greatest voices to appear on The Voice. Her range is huge and I truly believe she is in the category of the great voices of our time.
I hope she reach the Stars, she deserves every bit of success she can get. She is just awesome. The true winner of her season. Her voice was unbeatable by the others.

Thank you! That really means so much to me and I promise I won't stop until I reach the STARS!!!!!
I don’t care what anyone says the female gatekeepers heard this woman and they’re shook. No way We Ani isn’t a megastar without interference. Shes the whole package. I don’t see how it’s not obvious.
This younglady has a very strong & soulful voice! I truly hope that she finally get the recognition that she deserves, and goes on to have a multi- gramny , & platinum selling artist. Stay true to who you are & don't let them change your style.
Absolutely loved We since seen on Voice. Don't want her locked in to restrictive show contract. She's got pipes to forge big future... just needed shows for exposure. YOU GO WE!!!
We’Ani McDonald I found you couple of days ago in American Idol. I found you in The Voice . I am not watching The Voice this season instead I will watch American Idol to root for you . Remain your fan of that unique and beautiful voice which deserves to be heard by the world .
Read her book “The little girl with the big voice” with my children 🙏🏾❤️ This story reminds me of my own life. I have given up on singing but this is so inspiring🎉💯🙌🏾❤️
She should have won the voice, the fact she didn't speaks volumes to the quality of the music choice & that show is really just a popularity contest with the teeny boppers.
I was so excited to see you on American Idol tonight. The moment you came on my screen, I jumped and said, “That’s Wé McDonald!!! I effin’ love her!!!” My girlfriend, who just happened to be laying on my lap, looked at me like I lost my mind. Thank you for coming back. I can’t wait to see what you do this season. I truly hope hope make it to the end.
Dear We Mcdonald.Your soul and voice is a gift from God.This music has an awsome lyric ,melody and hook.U deserve every success that u get.Thank you for making meaningful music in this climate.Your fan from Serbia
I love this girls voice. Followed her from the time she was on The Voice thru American Idol 2023. Great parents which make for a successful life for her in anything she does.
Go head baby…you did that! Beautiful voice. Like Whitney-you were born to sing. I keep an eye on you. Sent Flowers (should have been #1) to every one I know. Good job mom & dad…but you already know. Love & support from the bogie down. I have 5 girls…and only 1 can cary a tune! One is IT, the other a nurse. One had babies and the other one could braid the shit out of your BEAUTIFUL hair! All the love and Blessings in the world to you & your family baby girl…and look up those bullies on Facebook & send them a copy of your Track. Love trumps hate baby girl, but sometimes…you gotta let a 🫨 know!
( NewBorn) Peace!I have two daughters, one grandson and one great granddaughter.Sis I have seeeeen that song.I have sent it too my grandson, for my great granddaughter, I will bee 60 in 3 months (I See You,Never Stop,Always Build.Knowledge Is Power, Wisdom Is Flowetry, Understanding , Is Comprehension!I Believe In You, Little Sis💯

Thanks ! i'm a black teenage (18y), a curvy girl who grew up in family who looooove soul rnb jazz songs ; and it's the first time that i can identify with an artist that i like ! i love your style, your voice, everything ! i live in France and i saw you on the "The best of the Voice" last year... And now you have your own song ! i'm so happy for you :D
This song hit me so hard. I meant to come for the voice, but the meaning behind the song and the video hit me so much harder. The struggles of being both a woman and being black portrayed beautifully in this video. I'm a huge fan😮 *mind blown*
Wé, bravo! Thank you so much for making music with a purpose and exposing the real and raw experiences of so many. You're so brave for making a point with your art. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself with the world!
Wow. This song, just hit me so hard. I was abused by an ex, and so much of this video just took me back to all that for a few minutes. We' did amazing in this.
One of the greatest pure vocalists of all time. Pity she's born in an era where the soul of an artist no longer matters.
This comment hit so hard I almost fell outta my seat.
Beautiful voice. Her time will come.
She should be a global superstar!
pretty sure if she sings about sexuality she'll be more famous. pretty unfortunate indeed. but at least there's still artists like her. they're a rarity
Hope she wins American Idol Sunday
Should have been the next American Idol.
The 67 dislikes are the other contestants of The Voice.
Absolute haters. Hahaha
Yea
this comment is golden words😂😂😂😂😂
Yea
@@Kai-Does-Art q1
One of the most underrated singers, this is an amazing meaningful song! She should get more attention for her incredible voice.
Sharing is caring only way to get her where she belongs
This song kinda worth for next James Bond soundtrack. Awesome.
agree!!
I though that too in her first audition, fits perfectly
Yes! It reminded me so much of golden eye sang by tina turner.
They always show British singers for that role
Four years later, I still can't belive that she hasn't become an industry icon.
Who else discovered We - because American Idol! She is amazing.
She’s a star. Old soul. Unbelievable.
i was sitting at work and you came to mind. I was like ummm let me youtube her and see if she ever came out with her own music and to my surprise this came out a day ago lol wow!!! nothing but amazing, just like i expected!
Victor’s Crew mee too, so weird!
Victor’s Crew
Samesies! Glad I did, great song!
I'm here for the same reason and damn... I'm definitely not disappointed.
why am i just finding out about We'? Geeeeeze. she's incredible!!!
Wé plus Eminem equals infinity
Aqui les dejo un VS th-cam.com/video/uBSLTxQcWKU/w-d-xo.html
That wasnt eminem
They should totally do a song together!
woooorrddd....

This deserves more than a million views 🙏

The fact that she sang this as a teenager is mind blowing!! Her time is coming
I still listen to her music. I believe that she is one of the greatest voices to appear on The Voice.
Her range is huge and I truly believe she is in the category of the great voices of our time.
Finally a song that talks about real challenges faced by people on a daily...the world over. Welldone Wé... I celebrate you
A MONSTER SINGER. SHE IS THE ONE. OMG . FABULOUS.
I hope she reach the Stars, she deserves every bit of success she can get. She is just awesome. The true winner of her season. Her voice was unbeatable by the others.
Thank you! That really means so much to me and I promise I won't stop until I reach the STARS!!!!!
I don’t care what anyone says the female gatekeepers heard this woman and they’re shook. No way We Ani isn’t a megastar without interference. Shes the whole package. I don’t see how it’s not obvious.
Her talent is so rare and all the huge names in music industry were inspired from singers like her! Trust me!
this deserves a grammy
I WANT ONE TOO!!!!!😭😭😭 THANK YOU !!!
she is a godes. her voice is amazing . like if you think she as an amazing voice and personality
Her personality is similar to mines lol.
can't wait to watch her flip American Idol on it's head🤩😍🥰
This younglady has a very strong & soulful voice! I truly hope that she finally get the recognition that she deserves, and goes on to have a multi- gramny , & platinum selling artist. Stay true to who you are & don't let them change your style.
Shes so good it should be mandatory to vote for her on American idol.
I really liked this, We! Great job!
Aqui les dejo un VS th-cam.com/video/uBSLTxQcWKU/w-d-xo.html
The way the other guy call them. First white guy, and 2 other black men, 😭 this is so powerful song.
I love this message, the old school vibe, and her natural hair. And her vocals!!!
I don't know what to say, but I like her singing, and I don't know how she didn't win American Idol.
¿Porque esto no tiene mas vistas? Es increible.
Pienso lo mismo! Es una chica increíble
Absolutely loved We since seen on Voice. Don't want her locked in to restrictive show contract. She's got pipes to forge big future... just needed shows for exposure. YOU GO WE!!!
This does not recieve the recognition it deserves omg 😢😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We’Ani McDonald I found you couple of days ago in American Idol. I found you in The Voice . I am not watching The Voice this season instead I will watch American Idol to root for you . Remain your fan of that unique and beautiful voice which deserves to be heard by the world .
I’m here to support you Wé !wohhhhhhhhh
One day she appeared - haven't stopped listening since. Fluid music in motion floating those notes in the sky
Theres something so rich about her voice that completely melts me. The consumption she has over people with her notes is astounding.
I'm a simple woman. I see Wé McDonald, I click, I like, I watch, & I replay.... In that order!😍😍😍
Wé is back 💖
Read her book “The little girl with the big voice” with my children 🙏🏾❤️ This story reminds me of my own life. I have given up on singing but this is so inspiring🎉💯🙌🏾❤️
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Loviel Cardwell my reaction was the same. Hahahahahahah yassssssssss
Don't ever think of quitting music... you are so inspirational ❤️
THE VOICE
She should have won the voice, the fact she didn't speaks volumes to the quality of the music choice & that show is really just a popularity contest with the teeny boppers.
I love this song, why am I just hearing this song!!!!!!!!
So powerfulllllll
Girl, you are the new High Priestess of Soul! 💖🙏

Ugh she is so underrated! This video needs more attention !!! ❤❤👏👏👏

Wé this is so well composed visually. The song is beautiful and powerful. This is an amazing piece of art! 💕

Ayy fellow Lindsey fan
This song is so underrated
Darling I’m holding my head up high I know my dreams will touch the sky Darling I’m holding my head up high Mmmmm (yea)
Pre-chorus:
Other people think they know me
Other people judge what they see
There’s a voice inside that keeps me going on
Chorus:
Darling I’m holding my head up high I know my dreams with touch the sky And oh, and I know and I know
I’m holding my head up high
Verse 2:
Broke back
Big heart, with a thick skin Strong mind
Big hair, like my mom did Taught me, brought me From a bad place of mind I’m fed up
With the expectation
Too thick, lose weight Then you’re too thin
Teach me, bring me
From the bad place of mind
Pre-chorus:
And other people swear they know me Other people judge what they see There’s a voice inside that keeps me Going on
Chorus:
Darling I’m holding my head up high I know my dreams with touch the sky
And oh, and I know and I know I’m holding my head up high
Bridge:
Mmmm
Oooo ohh
A million voices shattering the ceiling
Come together through the heartache and the healing A million problems breaking through the concrete
We are the roses with blood on the leaves
A million voices shattering the ceiling
Come together through the heartache and the healing A million problems breaking through the concrete
We are the roses with blood on the leaves
Chorus:
I’m holding my head up high (I’m holding my head up high) I know my dreams with touch the sky (I know my dreams) And oh, and I know and I know (and I know)
Darling I’m holding my head up high
Darling I’m holding my head up high I know my dreams with touch the sky And oh, and I know and I know
I’m holding my head up high
Outro:
Holding
Got me holding my head up Holding
Got me holding my head up Holding
Got me holding my head up Holding
Got me holding my head up high
