Frenchie Davis - Audition

[@SEFYH]

I just love when super talented people like Frenchie wipe the smug expressions off the judges faces.

[@Nikkirdgzolmo]

Her voice is insane. It almost made me cry from how beautiful it was.

[@jasminepowell3469]

She will always be thee best audition in my opinion! It's a shame she isn't famous she is so talented!

[@scottakanumba1heathen379]

She's on Broadway!

[@XxTennisFan001xX]

She ll be at milwaukee s pridefest in June 2022..she s coming back

[@Cablecol]

She was on the Voice a few years back and Xtina A. was her coach.

[@Mysteike]

Frenchie got some pipes on her. She can really sing.

[@Phatgoddess07]

everytime she sings i just get chills. she is amazing.

[@acmejr]

I got to see Frenchie in an off Broadway musical a few years ago and it was so amazing to hear that voice!

[@kikio-rq9kx]

I remember when this aired. I was like she won!

[@TenaciousC21]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. If she was in the top 12, she would of won. She was fantastic. I miss her! Her audition gave me goosebumps!

[@blondewriter99]

This is the only audition I've ever seen where you can hear the crew people clapping in the background too. Would have been such a better season with her in it.

[@hemery835]

oh my god! that was an AMAZING rendition. i'm totally blown away. she did that song justice. most certainly did.

[@AndySaenz]

"And you! And you! And you! You're going to love me!". Then she points at all 3 judges, I loved that part! She's awesome!

[@s00grape]

Saw her on Broadway in 2005 in RENT! Love her!

[@DeeJunes]

Me too and Glad I did!

[@jholloway23]

That gave me goosebumps! Frenchie I hope you're still singing!

[@RSDjam17]

she said "and you, and you AND YOU!!!" love that part. big beautiful voice from a big beautiful black woman

[@TenaciousC21]

I remember being so angry at American Idol for booting her off for a couple of nude photos! And then in later seasons, many girls did the same thing but it was "okay" because they were attractive. Sorry, that is just stupid. Frenchie would of killed season 2!

[@WeatherMondacicci]

Agreed, I thought it was always hypocritical of AI to do that.

[@stickssb]

the site she posed nude for also advocated underage girls, little girls!...maybe she should have done her homework before she took her clothes off on that site ;)

[@zenobia75]

This is not even her best performance, she has sang some amazing renditions and rightfully deserved her place, 99% of other voices could not hold a candle to hers!

[@lonellfletcher]

Someone, somewhere at the top didn’t want her on the show for whatever reason. Someone’s agenda sabotaged Frenchie. She’s still working and thriving but who knows where she would be if she had had the backing of the show, the label and that million dollar contract.

[@Rasslinwithracism]

Racism

[@iluvmyboba]

Paula was what this show needed. She was sooo encouraging.

[@icemage156]

Gorgeous singer. I love her. I remember seeing her audition when this episode was first on, and thinking "this girl's going to WIN" And then watching the Hollywood episodes and being like "where the hell is she???" Stupid American Idol having to be so sickly sweet and family friendly

[@BerryJazzie]

I'm telling you she can SING!!!!!!!!! She has a wonderful voice!

[@StarOceanSora360]

if she auditioned today, she would without a doubt be the creme of the crop, nowadays ppl suck

[@nathan2000100]

She auditioned 3 years ago on the Voice.

[@xmantrans4846]

Nate Lintz she has a bad and fake attitude

[@broadwaymike92]

I saw her in Rent. She's so talented!!! What they did to Frenchie on idol....... horrible. She can sing ladies and gentlemen!!!!

[@Queenjazzyjae]

I loved how she enunciated(sp) 'And You' towards simon. I would love to see her and jennifer hudson go head to head on this one. We all know that frenchie would when this.

[@fallspring1033]

*win

[@iluvmoi2000]

I Saw Her in new york city. She was in the Broadway Play " rent" It was SO AMAZING!

[@DeeJunes]

jen rutherford yes she did that ♥️

[@gladtohelpafriend]

That's such a great song for a woman with soul. Some of my favorite American Idol contestants sang it - Jennifer Hudson, Lakisha Jones, and of course Frenchie Davis =]

[@bnegro]

ive probably seen this about 100 times, and i still get goose bumps!

[@mistervaz316]

she is the best singer ever

[@aks477578]

Frenchie is AMAZING!!!! You sing it girl! I love you!

[@thequestioningwhy]

That's what I call the resounding belt- very rare gift. The only last individual to really possess that gift of this magnitude and anointing was Aretha Franklin. Whitney Houston had a trickle of this gift but Aretha had it in depth. Labelle had the belt but not the resounding due to her being soprano.

[@helinza]

her voice is wonderful. she put a smile on my face!

[@jordanstone23]

too date....she is still my favorite contestant to ever be on this show. And this is thee best rendition of this song BY ANYONE!

[@Cablecol]

I wish we could have heard the entire audition! So awesome still in June 2023💯💖.

[@The67jeffery23]

The real winner of season 2!

[@elilevine8571]

FRENCHIE!!!!!!! JACK ON FROM PA!!!! STILL SUPPORTS YOU!!!! I REMEMEMBER WHEN YOU SANG HIS EYE IS ON A SPARROW ON MY FATHER'S VOICEMAIL.

[@whitneyfan9019]

I think she probably would have won!

[@millennialfalcon8958]

I was rooting for her from the jump. She was given a raw deal.

[@isharee3039]

She would’ve won. I still remember this audition.

[@paizliegh]

Wow! She is amazing! I was completely blown away!

[@livvylove]

When I saw her on the Voice I instantly remembered her from AI and how she was my pick to win season 2 from the auditions till they disqualified her for BS reasons. I hope she finally gets her big break!

[@mr11212]

went to college with her and heard her sing at the talent shows as featured act smh 1st time a singing performance made me cry, she was the truth

[@alianlaoshi]

SHE KILLED IT!

[@nelsonm9198]

I remember it like it was yesterday so proud

[@90sKidsSchoolLibrary]

Sounds like the style whitney Houston did at the AMAs 94. Amazing!

[@ventriloqueen]

This, in my opinion, is the greatest American Idol audition of all time.

[@inkpen9547]

Been waitin' on a Frenchie album since this Audition, and it's a got damn shame. The girl is nothin' to be played with.

[@RSDjam17]

wow, she gave me goosebumps like crazy. i love how she sung the "and you and you and you" part and on the last you it was meant for simon. like, "you gonna love me simon" this girl is amazing

[@yaboiph]

Surprisingly, they didn't call her back for the farewell finale.

[@dashhill443]

How is that a surprise???

[@jasonkristian9748]

What a volume. This lady got a gorgeous voice

[@MrTrasherton]

They really should have brought her back for the finale.

[@ers586]

WELCOME BACK! It was great seeing you tonight on The Voice. Good Luck!

[@magicpeach2011]

"how did you end up at the auditions" "well my boobs arrive 2 weeks ago so I thought I would come along"

[@duket.8598]

She was beyond this life. And that was just her audition. Loved It. #murdered

[@ImehSmith]

HOWARD Univ. Theater Dept. alumni baby!! NW, WDC

[@curtisgreen6418]

this can sing sooo well , i love her so so much .

[@noname-ly8nu]

#freethenipple for Frenchie

[@sister9670]

She's the BEST that I heard on there!

[@everythingisaprocess]

Okay, She has a BIG voice and a lot of potential. However, am I the only one that hears that she is off key at the beginning and on certain parts. She sounds better when she gets to the big belting notes because she is a belter, but as far as pitch and control....there have been much better singers on American Idol. It just goes to show that when you have confidence, and a strong, BIG voice , you can when people over. People are hearing the POWER and seeing the attitude and confidence.

[@2terence2jones]

i love the way Simon said "see you in Hollywood" at 1:51.

[@ryanolivercolbert921]

Frenchie is an amazing singer and she should have been in the top 12!!!! She was going to be and America knew it. When she gets her big break, like Jennifer got, fox will regret the decision they made on he behalf. Notice, I havent seen the judges give a standing ovation since she auditioned. Guess what....they never will, because this was the best audition ever on Idol.

[@ludaswifey101]

Hers is probably the most amazing audition I've ever seen on American Idol.

[@Agju]

one of the best auditions ever.

[@mikevalentine8369]

Ryan -"Now is it going to be worth it" Frenchie "quite" sooo funny. love her personality as much as the voice

[@mywords07]

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN! POWERFUL VOICE!

[@spongebob20032]

wow. oh my gosh. i'm wonderin have i seen this one. AMAZING!!!!!

[@lilhottieboi]

she can sing wow this is the type of person this show needs she is interesting to watch

[@Vanillabean4me]

When the show "the voice" was airing, I stayed at the same hotel Frenchie was in. I died when she got on the same lift as us :] died.

[@ZhigZhag1020]

SHE KILLED THAT!!!!!!! PURE TALENT

[@Elle_ev]

Beautiful voice, gave me goosebumps

[@carlosdf9112]

[@lotharpascual]

[@horrorheaux]

[@JosieGrosie44]

[@JenniferLigeti]

[@JoulseyCupid]

WOW. What a lovely personality too, with that excellent voice and talent. Unlike some of us who might be sitting , jeering and writing lame comments here.:( I wish I have her talent!

[@UselessTrivia]

i've seen her twince on the stage once in Rent and once playing Mahalia Jackson in Hartford, CT she's purely and simply amazing!!

[@aelatat1]

So glad shes on the Voice now. She really deserves a chance.

[@KB200887]

If she doesnt make it, she gots a spot in our church choir!! She would pump up the congregation for real!!

[@sweetamy189]

when i did watch this show i absolutely loved frenchie =]

[@neneeluvs2entertain]

I never realized Frenchie was so damn great!!!!!

[@Consequence]

Such a soft speaking voice, but such a powerful singing voice!

[@Jennifer0628]

Her and Jennifer Hudsons Auditions are by far the best i have ever heard

[@koreanjangmi]

aww i love her haha.. i remember i was upset when she got kicked off the show

[@PozestStar]

Remarkable voice. Amazing.

[@Classof20012010]

I actually went to school with her. The same school she's talking about in this vid. I remember her well. She was a celebrity on campus. She' so vibrant and beautiful. She always was.

[@everaythang]

Such a clean voice

[@JoeTurnbullAngler]

Wow!! how did I miss this D I V A !!

[@certainzee]

I loved her!! It would have been nice to see her and Ruben go at it that season.

[@babyEroose]

Hands down the best audition has ever in AI history!!

[@midnitedawn]

her singing seriously puts tears in my eyes

[@brittanyharris7678]

She would have won American Idol hands down...we need another Frenchie on American Idol - WATCH OUT FOR THE BIG GIRLS

[@TheMotherofTacos]

I've been killing some time watching these old auditions and have noticed that the less Simon has to say about or to the performer, the more he actually liked them.

[@BrianHAlexander]

Why doesn't she have an album out yet? I would buy it so fast! What is she doing now?

[@sacredhippy]

disreguardless of what she did or didn't do..this girl can sing!! I WOULD LOVE TO KEEP HER IN MY HOUSE AND LISTEN TO HER SING 24/7...

[@jebelzile]

omgg, i got goosebumps! That was intense! I only got goosebumps with Lakisha and Jhud! Now that's what I call singing! Ruben sings well but she's GOT IT!

[@NaToyaYvette]

where the heck is she now??? would love to see her on stage...a play or concert! shes great!

[@ellequence44]

she really had the best voice EVER on american idol its only cuz how she looks she nvr got as much recognition as she deserves. sad world

[@Dominique913]

O_O Wow it's been a while sinse i've seen this i forgot how great this preformance was.

[@DIV24982]

SHES FANTASTIC SUCH A DIVA
