Jennifer Jeffries: We Did NOT Expect This! Hear Her Original "Change My Ways" - American Idol 2024

[@selenaharris8031]

One of the most unique voices in the history of the show

[@WillowJWasTaken]

literally a craaaazy rare voice

[@robertantonnyc]

Agreed. Definitely!

[@dswmnswrk]

Umm…Fantasia but I get it…

[@gregXxo]

Unique yes..,.but not sure how I feel about it, definitely deserve a golden ticket but going have to hear her a few more times to decide if I like it or not

[@cole7726]

​@@dswmnswrk"One of" is literally the first 2 words of the comment...

[@timsoreno]

And she wrote the song too! One of the best auditions I've EVER seen on this show.

[@David.124]

The lyrics! I had this idea… “Miss Independent”. Showing that she once decided to live life without God. Like it’s so creatively written without saying exactly what’s going on. Even the story progression, from having an untouched Bible to having evidence of deep studying in the end. Crazy to me

[@funkyfamilyfun4324]

Those lyrics are incredible. She’s got my vote.

[@David.124]

Ms. Independent

[@Tom-vm2nm]

Her voice and everything about her is just amazing but the lyrics are waaaaaaaay to american :(

[@libertyna933]

It's one song and I think she has a future in writing lyrics , if not singing too.

[@ci8516]

@@Tom-vm2nmit's literally AMERICAN idol 😭🤣

[@mr.awesome8021]

This is what we want to hear, we don't need another moulded pop star

[@benilsonrui5950]

Same. It's sad that's she's probably not going far. This is the kind of voice i wanna hear for all my life

[@libertyna933]

They just don't get the message. Then their choice they push just is not successful.

[@gregnapert9231]

They are going to make her sing top 40 pop songs and dress Hollywood. What a shame!

[@JillianGreenhalgh]

I agree. When Katy said that she was a diamond in the rough and they would just leave the diamond I thought oh no they’re going to try to change her so that this beautiful voice would end up a sanitised version of itself that would die a death after a few listens. Please don’t try to change her - we all want to hear the original voice

[@libertyna933]

They don't know what the average person wants. There are famous and successful singers that don't have an Adele voice.

[@PeaceDweller]

That kind of voice doesn't come from this world, that only comes from above. This girl is anointed.

[@magic2506]

Spot on.

[@blakependlebury8205]

Sure buddy. Whatever you want to think 🤣

[@marychristineanderson4112]

I Absolutely love her!!! I love this song too 🙏

[@shamaniclighthealingsound11]

❤

[@JVanProduction]

I like her voice…Very indie folk … I was transported from watching a video on KZbin to driving in a beat up van on a lone stretch of highway… having an existential crisis and figuring life out.

[@beebee4334]

🤣🤣🤣 so true!

[@jb3thegreatest623]

Spot on, I literally can hear this in so many movies.

[@morganbridges9584]

Felt that

[@jameelyusuf06yusuf27]

Exactly my thoughts

[@throughfaithandgrace2970]

Find a bible while your on the road :)

[@pythgoreansassistant2789]

She's the best one this season I've seen so far. She reminds me of Arthur Gunn. A lot of raspiness and grit in her voice that cannot be replicated.

[@kenisme1000]

Arthur Gunn didn’t have as good of a voice as hers and he was pimped to the max …

[@alnerjoshauta]

Nooo, Arthur didnt have that uniqueness. The one who comes closest to her is Laci Kaye Booth

[@yollupz]

no shot

[@laurengallimore9094]

I agree, best so far. Awesome voice!

[@bastioncory6740]

Huh? She's OK, but there's no definition to her voice whatsoever. Just one type of tone.

[@francesfriesel6477]

The voice, but also her message.

[@libertyna933]

She's great and we are desperate for a unique voice !

[@joycepino9749]

I agree, she's great.

[@chuckbarkley2182]

this song has been in my head for days. i found myself singing it tonight while walking my dog. can't wait for more jennifer jeffries.

[@sueellis9585]

Voice... And the lyrics... Came here to hear her again. Wow, feel it in my heart

[@Chris-px2gf]

Everyone is talking about the voice and it's truly unique, but the songwriting is incredible as well

[@krissysmith3574]

Yessss!!!

[@dylanhogan9353]

This is HANDS DOWN the most underrated and slept on audition of all time, I’d even go as far as to say the most UNIQUE voice on any of the vocal judging shows of all time! 🙌🏻 this lady is bound for super stardom 💯

[@WiFiFoFum]

We need an album from this truly authentically gifted artist. Her voice is magic

[@Blakeleo389]

Dear lord keep this girl in your palm guide her, protect her, and use her with your message through her beautiful unique voice. Amen

[@shawnmason5290]

Protector from the evil, that is in some stars.

[@guyluvsbeauty]

She’s got the kind of voice that needs to be heard. She can stir things inside!

[@chrisschwartz-w1m]

Whoa...A star is born! Her voice is the best I have heard this season! With or without Idol, she is gonna be a voice to be reckoned with. Simply amazing!

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Luke was a yes from the first note. The look on his face said it all. I think all of us listening knew instantly what it was we were hearing and that something was a voice the world has been waiting to hear.

[@lynnlees5608]

I love Luke. Great judge

[@shamaniclighthealingsound11]

❤

[@cherylannebarillartist7453]

I want her to win! She’s got it all. Guide her well!!!!!

[@Jayescoo]

Her voice very unique really got that gritty southern sound you hear once in a life time 💯

[@angelwings7930]

Yes she’s very unique and real.

[@cornerstone1315]

I'm sure you meant to write "gritty", and I agree! Undeniable song of her life transformation turn-around. I love the before and after portrayal between the beginning Bible and the ending one!

[@Jayescoo]

Yea the end had me they way she written it 💯

[@JEAN-zx6ne]

Just a humble girl,, with a great crispy voice, loved her audition!

[@jb3thegreatest623]

What a great song and voice. This should be on the radio right now.

[@pedrohippocaus8488]

You’re more than good enough.Wisdom,God-given talent&an old soul wrapped up in a 17year old.Never change or stop praising His name!!!

[@jobanyuribe1515]

I wish they could just record this song already and I could listen to it on apple music. Its an amazing song!

[@RGale60]

I love her voice, it’s got a husky blues feel. The tone is unique. Her song was heartfelt. I loved her! ❤

[@amosnoel1633]

I finally witnessed a star is born. I've never heard such cool vocals, mesmerizing and magical. Above all the lyrics she wrote, mind blowing. I am a fan, can't wait to see her live. Best thing happened in America, pure raw talent. Respect!

[@kalinawalker2656]

Wow! You are so original. Never stop singing!

[@vivianyh]

i've lost count of the amount of times i watched this.. simply brilliant!

[@beebee4334]

The words…. My goodness! We’ve all been there, exactly there 🔥

[@allieb7757]

wow, those lyrics - stunning!

[@joannaf4166]

Love this song and love this young lady! Stay true !

[@jasongovin8939]

Heard her just now on TV. I actually cried, not sure why, but it happened.

[@SoupisSoupywithcrackers]

Me too!

[@nikkig5525]

Me too!!!

[@rachelsavard851]

Me three. Almost gave this atheist a come to jesus moment

[@SoupisSoupywithcrackers]

@@rachelsavard851 not trying to be a jerk here. I have been sharing the Lord for 40 years to people from every walk of life. A professing atheist is my favorite person to talk to. I don't believe I have ever met a true atheist in those 40 years of sharing. Maybe talked to over 1000 professing atheist. The amazing stories I heard of their encounters with God are second to none! I will never forget the young lady who was mad at me and said, "I am an atheist!" I told her I did not believe her and that I am sorry that religion has ruined Jesus for so many people! She went on to tell me how she fell off a pier on a pond when she was young and she had no idea how to swim. She said as she sunk, she knew there was no hope because nobody was around. As she was about to succumb, two arms grabbed her and took her up and put her on the shore. Yet, nobody was around!! She cried as she shared this story! She knew it was only God that could do this and she like most, acknowledged that she was really just an agnostic! I have heard these kind of stories over and over again! For what it is worth, Jesus Loves You so much, He died for you! I pray the next come to Jesus moment will be you running to Him and not from Him!

[@MeaghanDuchess85]

Incredibly raw and honest. I cried as well so I know it was good!

[@cassandrathatsme4382]

Amazing ability to tell the story, in song. Just beautiful

[@valleriehatina8866]

Definitely one of a kind ❤

[@teresamay6981]

This young lady is amazing this grandma 👵 knows she will go far in country music she has a very unique voice the grit and pain in her voice makes you feel like your not alone what's really beautiful is the old soul you can hear in her heart 😢😢

[@dulisse322]

Loved her song! I pray she does well. GOD BLESS YOU

[@robertantonnyc]

Very folksy with this husky back-notes and a wicked different tone up front. Very unique voice. It'll be interesting to hear her song choices.

[@PaparazziPete]

She has iconic voice .. I’m sure she may be top 3! My My My

[@briantbmoth6472]

Her voice is beautiful!

[@ingridw.bernal8926]

Wow! Omg! She looked like a Spirit came over her to sing like nobody ever! What a presence! What an amazing unforgettable voice! My winner❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@renaissancemaneric8019]

Best thing about this show: Seeing superstars...before they were superstars.

[@marcos7801]

Wow! I'm just as surprised as the judges of Jennifer's voice and was thinking uniqueness, also. I love her tone. You could see she was a little nervous especially in the beginning, but then she started connecting with the song and getting into her element, and her voice got grittier and more soulful.

[@Shawn_Q]

Love her voice

[@shamaniclighthealingsound11]

❤

[@jandmfamily3866]

Thank you for sharing your heart Jennifer through your song. We really enjoyed it and will be cheering for you!

[@_twizzty]

One of the best female country artist I’ve seen in my life

[@stephenmannion7544]

The most unique I've ever heard. Love her!

[@Jsizzle6809]

That is an incredible song, from the lyrics, melody, and voice. Just wow! She is sooo talented. Her performance after this one is another original gem of a song. I wonder how many she has. Please make an album!

[@UpintheArielle]

I can't get her voice out of my head. 🤯 The most memorable audition of the season so far, in my opinion. I LOVE her voice and her song 🎵 ❤️ You go girl!

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Unique indeed well done Jennifer Jeffries and best of luck.

[@josephmarshall86]

Her raw grit and passion, though not the same sound, reminded me of a young Janice Joplin. Add to that her gifted ability write a genuinely sincere heartfelt song as a testimony to her faith makes for a wonderful combination in an artist. It would seem God has big plans for this young powerhouse named Jennifer Jeffries!

[@RachelleWolff-k2m]

I have watched her audition so many times I hope great things for her . She's great

Been waiting for the AI drop all week, got to Jennifer Jeffries and can't take her off repeat. First audition this season I've wanted to listen to over and over. Love the song. Love the voice. Go JJ! ❤🎉

[@user-wy6yx8or6g]

this is great...she has massive potential as a story teller and song writer.

[@CrystalAGunnin]

Her voice is amazing and so raw but I can’t believe they didn’t say anything about that song!!! The writing and tune… so freaking good. She is standing out to me the most. Such a talent!!!

Damn, I keep listening to it. That song is so strong and give me chills. That song could be in so many movies and should be on all radio stations. I’m just amazed at the whole thing.

[@xopelumixo5571]

The lyrics are so beautiful

[@LindaTruesdell-f9u]

Wow! She is awesome! Can’t wait to hear more.

[@TabethaAurochs]

Her voice is so unique and damn can that 17 yr old girl tell a story... If I heard that as a single, I'd buy that album! (that's really how music worked, kids, waaaay back when I was her age!)

[@Shreybz]

I’m getting the same feeling I did when I heard Sawyer Fredericks on the voice it’s that classic uniqueness and intangible “from of old” sound. All the best to this girl.

[@darinstenger7123]

One my favorites so far.. very unique and love her voice and the song was great too

[@jt6602]

I hope she has a Spotify account or whatever, would definitely listen to her always 👏👏👏

[@darrell3030]

Really incredible. Stunning amazing original voice. That's what legends are made of. Bless her.

I love this girl. I need to hear more more more.
