Years after the live performance, this still is the top AI performance ever. That Candice is not on everyone's radar screen is beyond bizarre. She's amazing.

[@seank.cunningham3841]

If she had been put through in Seasons 10 or 11 instead, I feel she would've benefitted more than being on one of the lowest performing seasons ever. Absolute pity, though.

It’s weird that’s she the least successful of all the winners when this is indisputably the single best performance in the history of the show

​@tuckeroliver8446 because she could've been a world wide star had American Idol cared enough to promote and push her. She never came out with a single album since her win. Winning American idol means nothing these days

[@arisdobla2774]

In Hollywood if you don't have a backer, you won't make it big. American Idol winners are fairly decent and does not get into the dirty mechanisms of recording industry, that is why after they win they're like bubbles who burst out from thin air

[@tammyjoma]

This is very close to the top, but there are a few that I would have to consider off hand. Melanie Amaro's, 'Listen' on the X Factor was just amazing. The other one is a bit obscure, but for some reason, it touched me so deeply many years ago and is also astounding. I'm not sure how I heard it, as I am not Ukrainian, but it's on the Ukrainian version of the Voice Kids - Elina Ivaschenko, '1944'.

Actually, the video that was posted by the Americal Idol channel was taken down for some reason. They only keep up the highlights from each season. That video had over 2 mil views. So people were able to copy the vid when they were posted. I wish I had of. These are going to be classics.

This performance has to go down in Idol infamy as perhaps the greatest artistically awesome & inspirational ever! #1 ~ amazing & unexpected song choice #2 ~ Candace emotional rendition is packed with melisma galore in front of Queen Melisma and knocks it outta the park #3~ the judges scramble to find footing after under-estimating Candace a week earlier, all except for #4 the cheeky, christening-by- glitter bombing Mariah Carey , who rightly takes credit as the ONLY judge to not give up on Candace #5 the humble and sincere Candace Glover herself, who cant believe after 2 previous tries - she finally made THE TOUCHDOWN THAT WINS THE GAME

I don't understand why this lovely lady hasn't won all kinds of awards by now. Remarkable voice, very artistic delivery of the story. A true gem!

[@theblackdog2399]

She had a record deal and then lost it after her album didn't sell. Hence, without a record deal she has zero access to network TV and radio play.

[@tammyreynolds1466]

@@theblackdog2399 We can blame the record company and promotional team for that then. Poor record sales had nothing to do with her voice, that's for sure. I'm pretty sure if her agent could get her voice on some movie soundtrack or commercial, she'd be "an over night success". LOL!

[@theblackdog2399]

No, not only was her music on her album not any good, but she is extremely unmarketable. A big part of record label revenues come from network TV appearances, and look at her, not only is she a big fat unattractive water buffalo, but her personality is extremely dull at the same time. As the only reason she got a record deal, in the first place, is because it was part of the prize for winning that rigged season of American Idol. As season 12 of American Idol was rigged so only a female contestant could win. Which is why all the male contestants were eliminated before the first female contestant was ever eliminated in that particular season. Personally, I feel like she could make it in the Christian Music industry where they don't care about looks and personality. Nonetheless, she already has a pretty cool life traveling the world and singing at various vacation resorts and on cruise ships all over the world. Indeed, she seems to love it.

[@tammyreynolds1466]
