    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.

      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

      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.

  • @kelseylockhart3573
    @kelseylockhart3573 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    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!

  • @Diaboliktrini

  • @cathycathye9904
    @cathycathye9904 4 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    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 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.

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!

    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
