Kael Moore you’ve never watched Fantasia’s season then. Her “Knock on Wood” & “something about the way you look tonight” performances she looked like she had too much fun
Vonzell Solomon was the only contestant who performed consistently throughout the competition. She is one of the very best to have graced the American Idol stage
@@rodneymills6477its cuz she was black and they already had two black winners before her Ruben Studdard and Fantasia, even though she was way better than Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood they had to give it to a white person
She was vocally my favorite from this season, I would never forget this night. She nailed every note. When Paula stood up, and randy turned his chair. She had it. And the say she served Simon was everything!!!
I stopped watching AI when she didnt win. This performance was flawless! I downloaded this and still listen to it frequently b/c she is awesome. Still waiting for her record deal!!!!! She ALWAYS chose hard songs and killed em, so why didnt she win again....was it carrie....AI is so predictable. I forgot, they had to pick of a different persuasion that year!!!!!
I stopped watching too, I remember even though I was really young. This performance totally captivated me. Its been over a decade since your comment but I hope you are doing well.
Funnily enough, this is when I got fed up with the show as well. I frequently listen to Vonzell's performances still today. My mom had me make her a CD of all of her performances as well. My parents condo is in Fort Myers, where she's from and they would go to American Idol viewing parties all over the city each week to cheer her on.
I always loved Vonzell. She's one of my favorites. Great voice, and really great energy. I always smiled watching her. It's funny how casually Ryan dressed back then!!
awesome performance! love her voice! one of the great black diva voices in american idol!!! other favorites: kimberley locke, jennifer hudson, tamyra gray, la toya london, jordin sparks, melinda doolittle.. after them, there's none unfortunately! :(
I remember watching this live. This was when she proved Simon wrong and went down in idol history as the best underdog ever. Love Vonzell. What a star! Also, Paula is getting her LIFE😂😂
Looking back at 2021: Having witnessed her performances in this season, the way she performed better and better from the audition till the finals, I was surprised to learn that she's the only one not getting a contract from any label from that season! Can you imagine it? She could have been another Whitney, Chaka, Diana, and Dionne, if she was given a chance. What a waste!
she's got music out right now! Dirtbag is her single and her album sould be out soon. You'll love dirtbag i know. and she has her own record label right now, but is thinking abt signing w/ another label. EVERYBODY SUPPORT VONZELL AND BUY HER SINGLE ON ITUNES AND REQUEST IT ON THE RADIO.
When she was voted off that is when I knew the show was rigged. They already had 2 R&B singers. Simon didn't need a third. I never watched Idol or any singing show again.
wow. i didn't realize how much she sounds like kelly rowland!! but she's sooo much better better better. (kelly is just now starting to get to the vocal level that vonzell was on what...5 YEARS AGO.) if she came out now, she would kill it!! i know she would. i'm waitin' for ya.
@texashotness123 yea she has a song out called Dirtbag. It's an amazing song. Her CD keeps getting pushed back though so she's most likely is gonna put out a mix tape in the mean time.
She does alot of musical side projects, most recently she plays as her hit youtube character "Boonquisha" in the smash youtube musical "Beauty and the Beat" by Todrick Hall (Broadway actor, singer, and also ex Idol contestant). Check her out, she's still got it! :)
This was a great performance by Vonzell. She picked some really tough songs (Whitney, Chaka, Deniece Williams) but passed all the tests. She justifiably made final 3 after Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood. Still waiting for her album to come out.
I think that this was one of the most talented seasons!!! I love season 4!!! GO ANTHONY FEDOROV, VONZELL SOLOMON, NADIA TURNER & CARRIE UNDERWOOD!!! =DDD
