I watched the US version a few times and it was too excruciating. Too many contestants picked for the physical package and not the talent.
Britain seems to be able to do the opposite. Bravo for them.
This is the first season's winner.

Just inspiring. The song is one of my favorites, and from her mouth, the words are so much more meaningful.
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

Happens too often, and not just on American Idol.

That was just awesome. And so brave of her to put herself out there, on a show where people can be cruel. She knew she would win them over.
GO SUSAN!

American Idol is a joke. If they don't have age limits in Britain why do they have them in our version?

Because AI is looking for a pop star....geared towards the teeny-bopper audience. So they want a young star to click with a young audience. Originally Posted by Zen

Wow, just wow.
I love watching the expressions of the judges. At about 4:01 Simon exhales right along with her. She's good, really good, what an ear, great range, she interprets the music well, phrasing is beautiful and judging from the judges expressions I think they got it just from the way she held the mike "this may be good!" and then that first note. "yes!"
The only musical gene left for me from my opera singing paternal grandparents (my brother got the genes and some were left for my sister, Duck on Wheels) was perfect pitch.
Her every note is spot on. But you can have an ear and still be bad and she is wow, just wow.

Actually, their version of American Idol is Pop Idol. I think the age requirements for both shows are the same (or similar). Originally Posted by Zen

Wow, that was amazing. She is absolutely as good as anyone I have seen perform on stage. As a fan of live performances I'm sad the world was deprived of her singing in major productions this long.
