Man, I love tori Kelly I saw her live last month and she is the real deal. I didn't believe it but she captivated the whole room with just her and a guitar and no supporting artists or band. It was incredible. Her runs are mind blowing good
What I love about this performance is not only how amazingly she sing but also how much R&B and Soul this performance has, she is so amazing and I'm so glad I discovered her because her music is just beyond amazing and gets me through life
so this is how she looks like with straight hair... man... gorgeous since back then... man i want a JoJo and Tori Collab... both started young and have great vocals...
It’s crazy, I remembered this performance because I just remembered that a kid covered the song. I didn’t realize it was Tori Kelly until I went back looking for it! She was already crazy talented!
A. Ludgood Same here. My TV stayed on pax back then ( It’s a Miracle, Diagnoses Murder and Super market sweep were my shows!) And I just happen to catch her performance and was blown away. But what pissed me off was how rude the judges were being! They refused to compliment her singing, they just kept telling her that she “chose the wrong song!” I was upset because she did a great job and they wouldn’t tell her. Crazy smh
Audience and judges were stuck up. They all had dead pan faces. That was a Jill Scott song not many can pull off a J. Scott song. And for her to do it at 12 is out of this world and completely over that crowds heads
She's the real deal. Just saw her earlier on the Today show. She's 20 now and is just wonderful. She'll be around for a very long time with this star quality and talent/
Omg I sow this video like more then 1000000 times !! and every time I see it i just wanna comment here about how talented and beautiful she was at that age, and of course she still good til today, but for a 10 years old girl !seriously this is beyond amazing !!!!!
jennyokie it was battle between all of the winners of that season, and she loss to a boy with a violin or guitar. I can't remember which instrument. It was like ten years ago lol
Tori looks the same now as she did back then!❤ The only difference is that her dimples are much deeper and dangerous someone could slip and fall in them😂Plus her smile remains beautifully contagious❤
okay she is truly amazing. shes like a package deal. shes got it all. the looks the voice the stage presence shes like perfect i hate her. dang it lucky!
Jalil Ross This was talent contest that came on PAX back in 2002. I remember watching this live and being so frustrated with the poor response she got from both the crowd and the judges!
Is the announcer the guy that played joey gladstone in Full House? idk it sounded like him to me and wtf? Juni Cortiz? should he be saving the world from giant thumbs rn?
Daayum, and rihanna sang "hero" by mariah , at 15 yrs. old, not nearly half as good, but more famous? Maybe it's something about the music industry cuz Kelly is doing this all by herself
***** Lol yes! The Apollo crowd was ruthless! if you were good they would cheer, scream and dance in the middle of the aisle but if you were bad, they would show you no mercy! but that's how an audience is supposed to be!
she is AMAZINZG for everyone who thinks this is lipsynced, look at the video around :52 ... you'll see the audience claps a split before you actually hear them clap. the video just lags. this is pure, unaltered talent she should have made it to the top 24 in idol =(
This chick is seriously blessed with some awesome vocals. Even at age 12 she was on fire. Good lord my soul
Tori is plain anointed. What child sings with so much soul? She almost had those people clapping in rhythm she's that good.
Slaying even at 12! That's why I love her
Not the 2015 slays!!😂

Tori is something special. Her vocal control for her age is unbelieveable!
Audience and judges were stuck up. They all had dead pan faces. That was a Jill Scott song not many can pull off a J. Scott song. And for her to do it at 12 is out of this world and completely over that crowds heads
k22copeland her amazing performance was completely wasted on that crowd.
To all of the negative reviews, what a shame of not recognizing talent - masterclass.
Can we talk about the fact that this video was posted to youtube before I knew youtube existed
ikr 😂
lol you're welcome. I sure wish I could get into this account still though 😂
I started my TH-cam account the year this video was posted. In fact this video predates my account by 45 days lol.
😂😂😂
I'm guessing she never had that awkward adolescent stage. SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL!
LOVE YOU TORI!
lol the kid from spy kids thooo
omg I thought I was the only one who saw that hahahaha
They were popping back then lmao. Spy kids 2 had just come out so they were EVERYWHERE
He’s married to meghan trainor haha

Wow she's is great! Someone needed in the music industry!
She's the real deal. Just saw her earlier on the Today show. She's 20 now and is just wonderful. She'll be around for a very long time with this star quality and talent/
the judges look like 'we're not qualified for this kind of thing'. lol. it's called sangin'.
that audience didn't know what to do during the song. their faces and claps. lol.
aleta myles It was beyond their young years, lol. Tori is an old soul.
From watching this you would have thought she would turn into a diva. She so different now
Omg I sow this video like more then 1000000 times !! and every time I see it i just wanna comment here about how talented and beautiful she was at that age, and of course she still good til today, but for a 10 years old girl !seriously this is beyond amazing !!!!!

CEO of oldest comment on this video

HACE 14AÑOS
I remember this like yesterday! I was pissed when she didn't win. I think a boy with a guitar or something won.
what?? she nailed every note, and still didn't win??? good thing she's a successful artist now
jennyokie it was battle between all of the winners of that season, and she loss to a boy with a violin or guitar. I can't remember which instrument. It was like ten years ago lol
She is gonna blow up someday. Very talented and she seems to have a sweet spirit:)
Miss Kelly slaying the game from young, forever an iconic queen 😌❤
Tori looks the same now as she did back then!❤ The only difference is that her dimples are much deeper and dangerous someone could slip and fall in them😂Plus her smile remains beautifully contagious❤

That girl has a beautiful voice. So mature for her age too!
she sounds like Christina Aguilera but better..
she sounds Aguilerian.
She sounds better becoz her tone is so much cleaner and not forced
crazy4corbinbleux obviamente está influenciada por ella!!!
Is the announcer the guy that played joey gladstone in Full House? idk it sounded like him to me
and wtf? Juni Cortiz? should he be saving the world from giant thumbs rn?
Can someone give the audience a shot of SOUL???? Tori DID THAT
I LOVE HER! Most talented PERSON ON TH-cam! GET OVER IT...she's the best!
DAMN, she's got it, like her voice a lot, and I love that she's not trying to be something she's not. BIG PROPS!

It's so nice to see how proud Tori's father is of her and how much he loves her.
They look so much alike, too. :)
She did a good job with the way she belted it out, a little pitchy at times but pretty good. I have to favorite this one.
she is so awesome! she is my inspiration!!!!
Wow she is amazing!!!!!!!!
I heard her for the first time tonight and I love her!!!!!!
Daayum, and rihanna sang "hero" by mariah , at 15 yrs. old, not nearly half as good, but more famous? Maybe it's something about the music industry cuz Kelly is doing this all by herself
Talk about someone who was born to sing. Woo!

indiva02 I knowwww! Light a fire under them buns!
2up2down703 true! Lol
Anna Cornykova yes seriously! lol

for everyone who thinks this is lipsynced, look at the video around :52 ... you'll see the audience claps a split before you actually hear them clap. the video just lags. this is pure, unaltered talent
she should have made it to the top 24 in idol =(

I don't get how now she isn't blowing up.. I get it, she doesn't wanna strip on stage. But I don't get it.. there's something missing from the story.
She don't wanna join illuminati. Lmao
+crazy4corbinbleux I agree I have no idea why she isnt as popular as other singers, shes as good her songs are as good
+crazy4corbinbleux Well in order to reach the top, you have to sell ya soul :P
IKR, something doesn't add up. Seriously, I'm very annoyed as to why this is.
A mystery, just not to the taste of the masses I guess :(
