2012 Jahmene Douglas - X Factor - Audition to Final

[@manolosendaydiego-qd7yt]

At my age 57 only now that I've seen the best singer

[@romcabtv]

Agree

[@robinmeade6998]

Dont understand why Jermaine Douglas isnt an international superstar. Such talent So gifted.Just wow. Especially in this era.

[@decoimage7051]

I think the stars of x factor are often fantastic by singing others artist songs. The thing is to start to write and sign their new songs. They dont have it and I think they are lost once competition is over. Voice is one thing but who will write the new song and lyrics? They are probably not prepared for it.

[@ducatiman1309]

Sometimes the showbiz is really just too false for some people ?

[@dianaberrios5471]

Shame on this shows once this voices show the world the greatness they stop and next because of money 😢

[@julielynch4793]

ROBIN I totally agrre with you on the part about Jahmene Douglas but to compare him to the likes of that sleezy self centred Mariah Carey I totally disagree. I despise her & she makes me ill. She does nothing whatsoever for me but just screams like a cat in heat. Yulk!

[@AndySaenz]

It’s Jahmene.

[@Patricia-xy8mf]

Today I June 17 2024, accidentally tumbled this beautiful voice. What a talent! One of the best. Oh I love you Jahmene. You were born for that stage singing inspiring people.

[@theresasutton6311]

Me too. A little later. He’s a gift. Right after election. I was heartbroken. Not just the voice but his choice if music. Thank you

[@markclans3284]

Oct 2024 - I watch the audition about 200 times over the years and never thought to listen further. Imagine is fantastic - thanks for putting this together.

[@yakmaharg]

I really pleased that my time putting this together is giving pleasure to so many people. Jahmene is the find of the decade.

[@kylehowson2497]

I remember watching this and thinking he is honestly one of the best singers in the world, with these new style pop singers they don't showcase their voices or ranges (because most don't have any) but Jahméne is one of a kind, an amazing soul and the respect he shows is incredible. I know he has done what he loves, but I can't seem to be upset he never became more mainstream. Jahméne man, go full out, I want to hear your angelic voice all over the radio instead of hearing singers from 50+ years ago because nothing new has came along yet.

[@Kat.Evangeline14]

@@kylehowson2497 Since he is a man of Faith - he didn't sell his soul & join the one-eye Club. For this reason you will never hear him on the radio - but you can subscribe to his channel & support him.

[@joseejaja279]

It took me nearly a hour to listen this compilation... And it was well worth it. A young man with tremendous talent yet so modest! Thank you so much, God bless.

[@robertocaesar]

I know that many of you say that he overdoes his stuff but, man, when a bird has such wings. Let him fly man!

He has a great voice but he definitely over does it way too much

+Max Rubart jealous.

[@susanrajabi6539]

+Max Rubart over does what?!!! His voicing is incredible. can't get enough of his voice!❤❤❤

[@susanbouchard9459]

He does overuse vocal runs, but when he just sings, it's beautiful.

[@Idycec1215]

I really love your comment and truer words have not been spoken! Jahmene is simply phenomenal!

Talk about breath control. This young man should have won every talent shows for he is gifted beyond measures! Love it

I still listening to this extremely gifted young man in 2023 and still marvelling at his voice. I wonder where he is today? I hope that you are wellJahmene.❤

[@fatemehhassan7066]

I ask the same in 2024🤷🏽‍♀️. God given gift! 🙏🏽♥️♥️

[@momonine53]

Tremendous talent, enunciates beautifully, easy on the eyes....please tell me this young man got a record deal somewhere. WOW!!!! How in the world did he NOT win???

[@TsunamiSid]

This guy has the most range since Mariah Carey and is the best male vocalist of our time!! No one on this show, American Idol or any competition can measure up so it's ridiculous how he did not win.

[@matthewjoseph1656]

Joshua ledet

[@annieo9468]

I agree...but he does have some confidence issues....but his voice control is unmatched. And this from someone who's not particularly fond of his choice of genre. Some of the most notable 'stars' suffer the same issues...but their talent overcomes. It's sad that his didn't. I think we are missing something great.

[@Jennah0908]

Dalton Harris? James graham?

[@ado8ld443]

Ofc he didnt win i mean he was competing with james arthur

[@b-i-c7969]

I mean, when you’re up against James Arthur. Jahmene may be better vocally, but James just has such distinct vocals, when you’ve heard him once you’ll always recognise his voice, any time.

[@patriciaflores4786]

I also believe Jahmene is so naturally talented. He is one who actually feels everything he sings about and gets lost in it. what a true blessing it is to me when I hear him singing. I'm a 52 year woman and have heard many singers, songs, and only a handful have been able to let me feel the emotions through their singing, he is one of these awesome singers. God Bless you Jahmene, and all that you put your hand to do in life. What an extrodinary example you are! Forever in my prayers

[@SR25MK4]

Patricia; AMEN!

GOD'S GIFT TO US.X

[@ndivhuworambedu5493]

I was streaming on KZbin videos and I came across his run to you performance and I was drooling and now this video is what I needed to see this young man's God given gift

[@yakmaharg]

I'm glad you like it.

[@surajabi]

This young man has an incredible lovely and soothing voice

[@conniemiller9789]

When Jahmene sang Angels, I had goose bumps all over and I literally cried at the beauty of his voice. I don't care who they gave the title to: Jahmene was the real winner.

[@stevejimenez4483]

We should all take advantage of this because it’s a once in a lifetime to hear somebody like this

[@junior19561]

It is certainly the best male voice presented in X-Factor.

[@joseejaja279]

Must say, this gentleman has the most outstanding vocal control. A artist in every sense of the word. Thanks for sharing. Be safe.

[@snakerockred]

What I like most about Jahmene is how he grew. He learned to trust himself and his voice to not over sing.

[@johnsedarat143]

Jahmene was incredible right out of the gate! Just a gifted vocalist! Seems like a decent human being as well. We want more!!!

[@ThomasJolie75]

He's perfection, seriously. His voice is pure perfection!

He is the Best singer by far. He is a legend.

[@simonhhh100]

100% agree...brilliant vocalist...but it comes down to song choice...some of the songs chosen may not of entirely suited him? ...e.g. little bit over cooked on Let it Be...I bet his handlers thought the same?

[@mattj8995]

@@simonhhh100I disagree strongly, I thought let it be was one of his best performances on his show.

Oh my God..his voice so amazing, feels like voice from heaven. I've never heard male voice sounds so amazing this before. His vocal range so incredible. Guys..you have to watch his duet with Novita Dewi sang Beyonce's Halo. That was really really high notes and so incredible.. I saw them, and that was make my jaws keep open Good luck for the future star Jahmene Douglas, and thank's for Yak who have been willing to compile this all, really appreciate Greeting from Indonesia

[@foxxeeyy]

My favourite show of all was the duet with Nicole - it demonstrates the calibre of performer that Jahmene is in how he handled what could have been a devastating technical failure when Nicole's mic didn't work. THE SHOW MUST GO ON and he just carried on as if there were 2 mics. Brilliant work! I chuckled at the look on Jahmene's face when Nicole threw her mic on the floor. It was priceless! Nothing much phases Jahmene, but that is the reality of live television.

[@neeverod137]

A beautiful soul with the voice of an angel. A star is born!!! 🌟 🌟

[@genesbar1]

Thanks for this fabulous video of Jahmene Douglas you put together! This is by far the best video of any singer I've ever watched and listen to on KZbin. It was truly one for the books!!

When Jahmene sang I Look To You I actually cried! Such a beautiful song sung by a young man with an amazing voice! Whitney heard you Jahmene!!! x

[@902silverfox]

I fell in love with Jahméne at his audition. I am a 74 yr old canadian woman - who was never into poetry but Jahméne has changed all that. Even after all this time I still cry when I hear him sing. Not winning Xfactor was probably a blessing for him - he can be in control of his own destiny. He has the strength to overcome the pitfalls of fame and the music industry. I can hardly wait for his first album and in the meantime I am enjoying this compilation. Thanks .

[@ilseilse3824]

I understand You very well. ❤

[@Eklettico85rm]

There's hundreds of performers out there, including the judges, who would pay billions to have his voice. Just imagine this raw talent, this diamond voice, but with olly murs cheeky attitude, or the lead singer from Maroon 5 to name a couple natural born performers who don't have exceptional voices. I hope he gets to do this for a living, I can just close my eyes and hear his voice do its magic!

[@shellinearmstrong7177]

Love this, amen! Let him do his thing. A hundred other people can sing this but he can make it a hit beyond itself.

What an amazing voice this man has. First time I heard him on x factor . Singing "at last " with all those ad libs . How amazing . Best version I had ever heard . I play it again every so often in awe each time . Wish jahmene would do an American song book album . He would go down with the greatest .

[@vickypollardslittlebrother8710]

As a 46 y.o. guy I know many of the songs he performed by the original artists and Jahmene Douglas beats them all. I was quite overwhelmed by his voice and how intensive he performs. It seems, he feels every word, every single note of the song. I am a little confused, that he was not the peoples choice in 2012. Keep on, Jahmene.

What A VOICE! Pure elegance

[@aquaesulis4245]

I absolutely adore him! From the first time I heard his voice, I fell in love with him. I love his sincerity, his humbleness, and just a good kid who loves the Lord. I was so sad when he didn't win the X Factor, because he is just so unbelievably talented. It was also hard for me to watch him get so down on himself, when he made a mistake or he thought he made a mistake or that he was letting people down. I really feel that he should have won. James Arthur was good, but Jahmene has pure raw talent.

[@Jennah0908]

Shauna Smith no way.. Jahmene sings flat 50% of the time and way too many vocal runs. James deserved that win for sure

[@451oneandonly]

i can watch his performance over and over again and still want to watch it again.. love him...great talent and outstanding voice i have ever heard in my life time

[@foxxeeyy]

He channels Marvin Gaye everytime he sings. His heart is good, he cares for his fans and people in general and the soulful feeling he exhibits is, well... jah-mazing! Louis hit it exactly right... A star has been born. I just happened to catch a video on youtube and have watched every day since. I was so impressed with the UK X Factor and how it was more concerned with the development of young talent than its US counterpart. Jahmene is a smart guy and will be highly successful. xo

[@pamelamyers9613]

Phenomenal!!! He has steadily improved control of his voice, and hits the notes, PERFECTLY!! TALENT AND SKILL! BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@LoTaT111]

every 50 years... theres a voice.. ignored at that time... acknowledged when this voice is gone... shame over us... proudness and gods love for him right now! like i got touched and loved by his voice and feeled loved by this song atm! and you know what? i am not religios, and not a believer -.- i have no ideo who sold him off and gave him those songs to sing :-(

[@lindanoel1853]

Not a believer in any gods or anything supernatural, either. Evolution brings some genes/traits down through generations, sometimes a human will discover something in themselves (singing is his Thing) that Is real to them, brings them delight&hope& solace&strength&opportunities to Explore it. It comes out of the continuing evolution of Life: I, too, was born from the chromosomes my parents 'put together', with a wonderful voice in my musical family. We do NOT have to be 'spiritual or religious to be touched, moved, stunned and profoundly affected by the honesty of another human being's singing --- a real singer, feeling the meanings, NOT mimicking/faking emotions. Anyway, he'll learn to get up to pitch, cuz he Can't Stop Singing and so many of us other humans are grateful for him..

[@msongs]

nice, like being at a Jahmene concert. thanks for making this

[@diamondgate3]

Thank you for this wonderful compliation of Jahmene's performances. I have only now discovered him, and of course fell in love with his talent as soon as I saw his audition. Not only a remarkable vocal talent but he sings from his soul like few artists can. Can hardly wait for his album!

[@jessemcmorris1498]

You are right sister

[@blucinemafilms]

Jahmene is a fantastic talent. His style and delivery is that of a classic Black Soul singer like Jackie Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Micheal Jackson, Ray Charles and even Aretha Franklin. This classic soul style is derived from Gospel Music which he listened to. He probably wants to show his Appreciation to GOD so thus the inclusion of the Gospel music. I respect his decision to include these songs instead of the negative demonic garbage that feels the airwaves and corrupts the youth. ...

[@cesarruiz4340]
