American Idol - Donna Summer ( Season Finale / 2008 / Live )

That young lady had the highest honor of singing with her idol. Donna has her own place that nobody can even compare to.

The Mike handoff was epic. She could tell instantly the girls mike wasn't pitched right, and without a second thought handed off hers. Class a lost art.

I worship this fine Christian. Her life was a blessing to MILLIONS of people who had to hide n the shadows, & to pretend 2b whom they were not. The earth is richer because of her - a Goddess 2 me. I cannot believe she was taken. I can never understand why it had 2 b.

[@kevinmiles5770]

No words can describe how lost I feel without this magnificent woman - At 60 she sang so effortlessly. She was never given her proper dues. Still, in 2020 I am in shock that she left us so quickly and quietly. She didn't get out in public and publicly talk about her cancer and her dying the whole world was caught off guard because a lady always knows when it's time to leave. RIP Donna.

How she took that Mic back and moved her neck just Once! And gave the whole viewing audience how you OWN it!! Classic!!

[@rf6724]

Only Donna!👊

[@jhstinson62]

Donna Summer was fully aware of her unique, very powerful voice. And on stage, she was very generous with other performers, as she showed it with these girls. She even handed her mic to one of the Idol's contestants. She knew her voice could outperform almost any other singer, female or male. As many said, her voice was an instrument.

[@guillermovilla9517]

jhstinson62 Wow, what a mistake to put Donna Summer with these contestants. Donna Summer showed them how it’s done!!!

[@dee_dee_place]

I believe Ms. Summer handed her microphone to the contestant to prove that she wasn't lip-syncing. Anyone familiar with Ms. Summer's work heard the difference in this live performance. She placed subtle variations in her intonations.

[@oobrocks]

She died in 2012 only 63 of lung cancer....u will live forever in our hearts!

[@OptifIex]

Donna was a pro. She instantly realized the girls mike set wasn't right for doing a solo, and handed her, her's. It takes years to have that good an ear.

[@skmmmonae9323]

OptifIex I don't know why I loved when she did that for some reason...Donna's microphone was decked out in bling bling lol

Donna Summer, flawless as usual. Amazing talent. RIP Donna❤

[@ssinssg]

What a treasure, one of the best voices of our time but so humble. Have you ever seen ANY singer share their microphone with another one, much less the equivalent of a background singer?! She could sing anything, won Grammys singing in 4 different genres, and was as important to dance music as she was to disco. She's been gone for a while, but I am so glad to still discover live performances of hers like this, that I've not seen before. And her microphone is ON.

[@SmoothCinnamonX]

Donna was indeed magnificent and magnanimous. Diana Ross handed her mic to a background singer as well, on Oprah. :)

UNDERRATED!! No in-ears, IMPECCABLE timing and vocals. And then handed her mic to future talent. NOBODY does it like Donna did.

[@dee_dee_place]

Who the heck could even possibly replicate The Sound of Donna Summer? She was a powerhouse. Everyone poo-pooed her as just a Disco Diva until MacArthur Park was released & even the biggest detractors become die-hard fans. Ms. Summer's voice was the soundtrack for my very best years. There is not one occasion that I hear her pitch-perfect voice that I don't smile. Rest Easy, Dear Lady. I miss you.

Man, i sure miss her....i hated disco, except for her music. i owned every album she ever made.

Wow. That is singing. She never got her just due. Her talent was arguably above anyone of her era but she got some what pigeon holed-by disco. Her voice could soar above the hardest disco beat which made her uniquely the singer of that era. But She was so much more. Opera trained with a rich contralto up to soprano range with tinges of raunch and rock…she had it all. RIP heaven now gets your gift.

Ay my Donna, inolvidable! La Fuente de la Vida, te envío aquí a la Tierra para que dieses de beber a todas las almas de este mundo, tanto sexual como asexual o espiritualmente pérdidas o encontradas, tanto a los que no apreciaron como a los que sí apreciaron todos los matices y registros que se pueda tener en una poderosa voz inimitable que cautivó al mundo entero y que no supieron ver la grandiosidad eterna que desde tu otra dimensión estás perpetuando por siempre, jamás, por un legado imborrable en lo cotidiano y mágico en lo sublime. Mónica Naranjo, en español, con su canción, palabra de mujer, consiguió hacer un homenaje a lo sublime. Ojalá que en el futuro podamos recuperar y sentir la misma fuerza de amor y superación que la industria del cine no ha podido plasmar en esa película mundial de su vida y obra con sus aciertos y bajadas pendiente de transformarse en una nueva vida llena de talentos inimaginables.

Y did she (they) perform "stamp your feet?" A non-hit!

[@stampyourfeet]

Her album Crayons had just been released. The song Stamp Your Feet was the lead single at the same time as this performance. It went to #1 on the Billboard Dance Charts. Probably why she performed it even though the single sadly got very little airplay. The album did debut at #17 on the album charts shortly after this performance. The power of American Idol.
