Honestly, I wasn't a fan of her voice at all. I couldn't believe when she won. I wanted either Jennifer Hudson or George Huff to win. LaToya London was also great.
I’m Her biggest fan now!!! I was rooting for jennifer and latoya during the season but so happy she won now or I wouldn’t be such a damn die hard fan!!
It’s one thing too watch them become stars it’s different to hear about them but never watched the show and see them audition that’s me right now it’s kinda interesting
Because when someone sings a cappella, you can hear whether or not they can sing expressively, stay in tune throughout the course of a performance, and hear their vocal quality.
I love whiny indie singers. I love powerhouses, too, though. Not every singer has to blow the seat covers off the chairs every time they sing. So long as they put emotion into it, and have a good voice, that's all that matters.
It gave me goosebumps every time I watched these Singers auditions before their fame and the next thing we knew they’re faces are on the wall behind the audition platform.
Todrick makes me proud watching his auditions and seeing where he is now. Disney King. Pop Star. Writer. Creator. Carrie, Country Superstar. Top of the Game. Respected. Fantasia, R&B Superstar, Patti and Aretha approved. 20:18 - honorable mention because he just made me tear up when I heard Making Memories of Us ... I love that song
Fantasia’s audition never fails to give me chills, like out a jacket on chills Carrie’s audition always makes me feel my first heartbreak all over again Katherine’s audition brings me to a fall park concert Paris’ audition makes me feel like I’m waking up from an afternoon nap to the smell of grandmother’s cooking and I’m safe Sean’s audition makes me feel the dust in my lungs from walking a dirt road hiding from the law I could go on and on. The difference between a good singer and a great singer is that a good singer is pleasant to listen to. A great singer hits every sense and memory and transports you to another time and place.
Elliott Yamin, Daughtry, JHud, Melinda Doolittle, Vonzell Solomon, David Archuleta, Jessica Sanchez, Pia Toscano. Not to mention Kelly Clarkson. So. Many. Great. Ones.
They are all great singers but I thought other people had more memorable auditions. Jhud and Daughtry were good during the show but their auditions weren´t on that level for example. I take into account voice and artistry or impact
Okay, I'm a singer and a good one, but hot DAMN if I don't know talent when I hear it. When Adam Lambert is singing with that quartet, there is NO CONTEST; the man blows every single one of them away in one note, just one. Good Gods, if only he wrote his own material, you know? He'd have made the industry his bitch.
I didn't know Todrick Hall is also from American idol. He is so suppressed at the time, now he's like "Nails, Wig, Hips, Heels" and a whole lot of make up.
Fantasia is an odd case for me. She has insane talent, yet her voice just grates on me, even though it is not terribly different from Aretha Franklin, who I could listen to all day. I don't get it.
Pat Doyle You must be white. Fantasia sounds nothing like Aretha Franklin. Fantasia is a stylistic singer. She is not one of my favorites but her voice has gotten 10xs better over the years.
It was nice seeing Fantasia's picture in the room. A sign of excellence to aspire to. The guy at about the 10 minute mark, I wanted to hear more. I prefer the voices pure, raw, and vulnerable before all the coaching.
Who else is watching this after too many American Idol cringe compilations
HAHAHAH! Me!
Yup
Hahahaha. Me!
Me
exactly
This is a nice relief after the cringe overdose I've had from the worst auditions compilations
Hahahahha same
@Macdealerx... How is that a problem? These are still fun videos to watch
😂😂😂
Eveliina Heikkilä Omg can I get a amen?
Me, too hahahaa
So you telling me that good singers actually existed in this show?!
IKR 🤯
Seasons 1-6 for sure😂😂😂 i think they started to split them with other shows after that😂🤷🏾♀️
Definitely for the first seven seasons.
Lol i’m guessing you didn’t watch the most recent series
@@frazermawson4094 Must definitely didn't. I dont think I've watched one completely
Fantasia is one of those special people who not only know how to sing, but also how to amplify it.
She's born to sing.
she gets major props for being unique with a sound of her own!!!
Fantasia gives me chills.
Totally forgot how nice she was lol. God damn that was a runaway season. Easy winner
Omg i love Fantasia and didn’t even know she came from American idol wow
fantasia has a beautiful voice
Nyssa Williams never liked fantasia voice.
Nyssa Williams Indeed.
Honestly, I wasn't a fan of her voice at all. I couldn't believe when she won. I wanted either Jennifer Hudson or George Huff to win. LaToya London was also great.
I’m
Her biggest fan now!!! I was rooting for jennifer and latoya during the season but so happy she won now or I wouldn’t be such a damn die hard fan!!
I thought her voice was the most soulful and singular on the show. And, as evidenced by this audition, her rhythm was impeccable. Her phrasing, too.
Little did they know Carrie underwood would become more famous then them... lol jk but she is awesome
Storm Vibes the judges never focused on fame for themselves
I like your profile picture
Carri who?
Woah there, Shistar - Add Mr. Todrick Hall to your list.
Its than them not then them!
its crazy to see stars before they were really famous and looking at them now
And it's amazing how money can change one's looks!
@johnny ember . Salon*
johnny ember saloon
It’s one thing too watch them become stars it’s different to hear about them but never watched the show and see them audition that’s me right now it’s kinda interesting
For an audition, I prefer those sing acapella rather than using instruments. Idk why
Because when someone sings a cappella, you can hear whether or not they can sing expressively, stay in tune throughout the course of a performance, and hear their vocal quality.
Daniel Surfocean amen you real hear there voice
Same.
Katherine mcphee has an amazing voice
She was my original favorite
@@SailorBayleyMoon same
Crazy that she’s now married to David Foster….
god bless you for putting katharine mcphee's. she deserves it
She was amazing
Fantasia got a damn good vioce so do Carrie Underwood
Ashri Boydalexa right
Paris's audition was magical.
omg I actually remember watching fantastias audition
Holy crap that first one doesn't look like a 19 year old girl...
@@aP-kh9nu she looked 17 to me.
Jordin Sparks voice was flawless, like honey. It just flowed.
i think u forgot to include Jennifer Hudson.. shes amazing
I liked her Circle of Life, but that year Fantasia stood out more for me.
@@rsasda so you're doing one per year only?
@rrrm86 yeah fantasia was good to0
@@rsasda honey Jennifer needs to be there
@@rsasda girl-
Killing me softly is a bop, sangwoo approves✨
GIIRL NOOOO I HAD JUST LET IT GO
Haley Reinhart is my fav of all time
right next to Jessica Sanchez.
Omg I saw Carrie Underwood, and was like, “OMG CARRIE!? She’s a musician now!”
LOLLLLL
Paris kilt that billie holiday ❤❤❤
Yes she did!!!
Actually Billie Holiday didn't sing take 5... that was carmen mccrae...
Omg I didn't even remember that. Wow Paris is amazing
Where is she now?
@@rudisetyatmaja6650 she married keke wyatts ex husband. She does a lot of tributes is all ive seen
Recent years they just get worse. It used to be powerhouses now it's all about whiny indie singers
I love whiny indie singers. I love powerhouses, too, though. Not every singer has to blow the seat covers off the chairs every time they sing. So long as they put emotion into it, and have a good voice, that's all that matters.
@Gmoney3nt having a good voice and performing well is literally what being an idol is about so kindly shut the fuck up.
I stopped watching when Simon left
Those are the current trends
Soaribb Can’t wait for the current trends to be over🤮
Paris’s Audition was probably my favorite 🥺😳💕💕
Steven Tyler randomly going “waaaaaaaaaaaaa” throughout is the best part of the video.
Kathryn macphee was AMAZING. And fantasia will always be the ONE
It gave me goosebumps every time I watched these Singers auditions before their fame and the next thing we knew they’re faces are on the wall behind the audition platform.
God, Paris Bennett
b2kzangelalwayz yes
So amazing
Why Jordan Sparks still look the same? Black don't crack.
It helps that she was a teen at that time so she is still young lol
What happened to Paris Bennett?
@@shawnjones4527 I think she ended up getting pregnant a lil time after idol
she's biracial so i guess both sides didn't crack.
Elise Jackson no, white definitely does crack lmao
I had to take a break from the binge of terrible auditions. This is wonderful.
David Cook is forever my favorite winner. I knew from his audition that he was gonna take the whole thing.
Paris Bennett was the best one!!! She has such a beautiful voice!!!!
Erich Bradshaw naw
I still miss the old american idol than the version of abc!!!!!
a lot of these great auditions, turned out to be the winners, no wonder they sound so great
Todrick makes me proud watching his auditions and seeing where he is now. Disney King. Pop Star. Writer. Creator.
Carrie, Country Superstar. Top of the Game. Respected.
Fantasia, R&B Superstar, Patti and Aretha approved.
20:18 - honorable mention because he just made me tear up when I heard Making Memories of Us ... I love that song
Who's watching this on January, 2020? 😍
Well cant say no
Im so young to not know these singers came from this show! Mygosh
Rafsan's Home Videos feb. 2020
Oh I wish I was watching ‘‘tis in January it is now June 2020 and Rona is taking over the world
Almost 2021
Fantasia’s audition never fails to give me chills, like out a jacket on chills
Carrie’s audition always makes me feel my first heartbreak all over again
Katherine’s audition brings me to a fall park concert
Paris’ audition makes me feel like I’m waking up from an afternoon nap to the smell of grandmother’s cooking and I’m safe
Sean’s audition makes me feel the dust in my lungs from walking a dirt road hiding from the law
I could go on and on. The difference between a good singer and a great singer is that a good singer is pleasant to listen to. A great singer hits every sense and memory and transports you to another time and place.
Elliott Yamin, Daughtry, JHud, Melinda Doolittle, Vonzell Solomon, David Archuleta, Jessica Sanchez, Pia Toscano. Not to mention Kelly Clarkson. So. Many. Great. Ones.
They are all great singers but I thought other people had more memorable auditions. Jhud and Daughtry were good during the show but their auditions weren´t on that level for example. I take into account voice and artistry or impact
Elliott Yamin's audition should also be here. Absolutely beautiful.
3:15 I'll never forget Paris (her grandma was in Sounds of Blackness)✊🏿✊🏿
She was awesome and had such a sweet personality. I hope she’s doing well today.
damn almost everyone of them are successful rn
Okay, I'm a singer and a good one, but hot DAMN if I don't know talent when I hear it. When Adam Lambert is singing with that quartet, there is NO CONTEST; the man blows every single one of them away in one note, just one. Good Gods, if only he wrote his own material, you know? He'd have made the industry his bitch.
You sound very pretentious, and i doubt you're a good singer. Good singers rarely admit they are good, only cocky arrogant singers do that.
I am so inlove with Todricks rendition of I’m yours.
Jennifer flipping Hudson , kelly damn Clarkson
wow i completely forgot that Toddrick appeared on Idol!
I literally just said the same thing.
Big SHOUT OUT 2 Majesty.. Coming from my state NC. I respect da artist who are different because UNIQUENESS CARRIES you a LONG WAY💪💪💪
Jordyn Sparks, So Good!!!
lol the first one gave me chills and Simon just looks like he's sleeping
oh shit. that's me
Word
5:43 at the back of Jordin Spark, notice Kelly Clarkson’s face? At 5:52, you can see Jordin was already beside Kelly. Amazing.
got to love Dalton singing Phantom of the Opera very cool
OKAY BUT I SCREAMED WHEN I HEARD KILLING ME SOFTLY BYE
I like the Duck Dynasty looking guy.
Adam Lambert’s voice is FIRE! 🔥
All time best contestant
What I Like About These Singers Is That They All Sing and They Don't Exaggerate Their Voice.
I didn't know Todrick Hall is also from American idol. He is so suppressed at the time, now he's like "Nails, Wig, Hips, Heels" and a whole lot of make up.
Okay Haley Reinheart... I see you!
Johnny Keyser’s audition really gets me feeling some way. Love it
Fantasia is an odd case for me. She has insane talent, yet her voice just grates on me, even though it is not terribly different from Aretha Franklin, who I could listen to all day. I don't get it.
Pat Doyle You must be white. Fantasia sounds nothing like Aretha Franklin. Fantasia is a stylistic singer. She is not one of my favorites but her voice has gotten 10xs better over the years.
fletcher373 what does race have to do with it? I’m black but right here her voice sounds bad to me too
fletcher373 😆
Yeah a lot of people don't like that sharp pointed sound but she kills her music
Pat Doyle Fantasia sounds nothing like Aretha Franklin. Are you insinuating that all black people sound alike?
After watching too many cringe auditions, I wondered, was there any good auditions?
So I looked them up
Wasn't disappointed
I loved Katherine’s and Paris’s the most. Definitely memorable auditions
Fantasia still gives me goosebumps
Gives me chills ❤❤❤
Todrick is goals😍
Personal favorite goes to Kez Ban. I love when someone comes in with their guitar and an original song.
Jordin Sparks was 16?!?! What a national treasure
OMG what the heck is Majesty Rose up to these days?? Forgot about how amazing her AI audition was.
Katherine McPhee voice is amazingggggg & Fantasia's
McFever's audition still makes me cry the same as it did the first time I saw it on the show. I adore her voice!
It was nice seeing Fantasia's picture in the room. A sign of excellence to aspire to. The guy at about the 10 minute mark, I wanted to hear more. I prefer the voices pure, raw, and vulnerable before all the coaching.
love Hayley Reinhart's voice so unique
It seems to me like the good singers are usually attractive.
Jennifer Hudson and Susan Boyle both sang well and were over weight.
True but not always sometimes people assume that good looking people are talented but not always
Hahahaha when that dude started walkin up and down the bass and Randy goes "really"
Some of them gave me chills!
The MOST talented person to come out of American Idol is the AMAZING ADAM LAMBERT.
Majesty's audition was gorgeous! So underrated.
11:50 this! this is the breath of fresh air I need
Fantasia was by far one of the best of All Time.
Loved the 15:54 audition so much!
Kez ban
Tears… too good
Trevor Douglas gave me some MJ/ Prince vibes!!!! That boy can JAM!!!
Emily Wynne Hughes was so good, she forgot the lyrics during group round which unfortunately got her cut. She was better than a lot of the finalists.
Paris Bennett. Simply beautiful.
Wow I never knew Fantasia or Carrie Underwood auditioned. They sounded great though!
They both won too...
Kez Ban is underrated as hell.
Adam Lambert was and will always be the best that American Idol ever will have
So many really good contestants out of the list! La’Porsha??
Phantom of the Opera. Nice one.
Mackenzie Bourg was one of the best male idols for sure. Sad that we didn't see any daughtry!
The guitarists were amazing
omg the man at 6:00 my gosh his voice is so raw he has soul I love his voice💛
he won the show actually
David Cook!!!!!!!!!
you know he looks back at that audition tape and regrets that hairdo 😩
I remember watching this as a boy and seeing Carrie Underwood needless to say she helped with puberty my god 😍😍😍😍
Majesty Rose has a beautiful voice omg😍
WHERE IS DAUGHTRY AND PHIL PHILLIPS?!!!! Also Colton, Salty, and Mack oh my God they're still my favorites
Faith Martin 14:50, there's Colton :-)
Faith Lex What about Taylor Hicks? He's awesome.
The first girl needs to come to my house and sing me lullabies when I can't sleep
Carrie Underwood slayedddddddddd that first performance
If you want your ❤️ ripped out of your chest, go to 10:55. Damn girl! Who hurt you?! 🙌🏽 talent!!!
Rachael M she is probably the best one
its a trip to see where some of their careers are now!!! they done did movies and world tours some of em even got $$$
All so amazing!! ❤❤❤
Simon was giving that Joanna woman the look....like hey there baby
I liked that first singer A LOT! Wow. Powerful. Not easy to duplicate Lauren Hill.
Omg who was the guy on the cello or whatever it is?!? He was awesome
You are probably referring to Casey Abrams with the stand-up bass.
Hollywood Anderson deserves a spot on this list with his amazing performance along with a song he wrote made it memorable
This compilation is how i think i sound when i sing 😭😭😭
I’m sorry but I LOST IT at 12:43 when Tyler did that...💀💀💀💀
Hailey’s voice is amazing! Casey is gorgeous too!
O no... I forgot about Paris!!! I was in her corner!!!!! (where is Sanjaya?)
