Frenchie Davis And Kimberley Locke - Band Of Gold

[@reflectsonlife]

10 seasons later, still among the best 45 seconds on Idol

[@mollyyouindangergirl2470]

Yep!

[@tasinbaneir4231]

Agreed!

[@ag2295]

20 years now

[@CrazySexyCool34]

wish they couldve done the whole song. ugh i LOVE this version of the song. i can play it over and over again! go frenchie and kimberley!!!

[@timothylittle9354]

Loving me some Frenchie Davis. She should've won American Idol that season...hands down.

[@caligirl3000]

Timothy Little Totally agree!!!!

[@nigeltay7546]

+Timothy Little Yeah its sad, coz broadway really changed her voice. She sounded way different on the voice

[@jcrussous]

+Timothy Little Did you know that Frenchie was kicked-off of AI after it was discovered that she appeared topless on a porn site?

[@nigeltay7546]

John Russo he probably did, but if she wasn't kicked off she may have won

[@valentino4411]

Many AI fans always love to say that Frenchie would've won this season if she wasnt kicked off but I don't agree. Frenchie was a big strong voice and had alot of sass just like Jennifer Hudson in her season. Clay and Ruben would've would've still gained more votes through their level of likability and voice. Sometimes, we like to forget that increasing it stsbilizing your fan base in order to have consistent number of votes each week wasn't purely based on how great of a singer you are. It's also largely based on how much people adore and like you and root for you. Clay and Ruben we're both unconventional underdog by the way they looked but both had incredible voices and both had the balance of both worlds (talent and consistent fanbase) and both had some of the most consistent standout AI performances in AI history. Nobody can't deny that. BTW I love Frenchie and Kim and are fans, I just don't agree that Frenchie would've won.

[@PhoenixMinistry]

Still my favorite group performance of all time on American Idol!

[@calbates6457]

I thought I was the only one!

[@mollyyouindangergirl2470]

Same!

[@iluvmyboba]

Aww, Kimberly and Frenchie sound FANTASTIC!!!!!!

[@remyfacade]

They should've recorded this

[@dustee]

Frenchie and KLo have to be the most professional sounding talent in the competition. Thanks for sharing. Their duet was amazing!

[@kennethadams2497]

I haven't saw this since the the it came on TV and still the best performance to me!

[@latinguy67]

haven't seen...

[@SteelAVic18]

Frenchie Background Vocals were NICE!! love her!!!

[@anthonylagano2371]

Wow haven’t seen this since I watched it live back in late 2002 or in 2003. I loved their version of the song . I was rooting for Kimberley 😎😎😎

[@JayWilliamsTP]

I’ve been looking for this video as well since then! lol thought I was the only one

[@Agju]

It's insane how powerful Frenchie's voice is...bigger than Latoya, J.Hud, Fantasia, Mandisa, Lakisha, all of them and she makes it look effortless....stunning

[@traebreon5449]

You tripping if u think her voice is bigger than Jennifer Hudsons voice! Boo you! She's definitely great yet and still let's not become liars just because we like someone

[@Agju]

@@traebreon5449 i luv you :)

[@bryanmartin5901]

Umm did you hear JHud’s Idol audition? Frenchie talented but she just shouts compared to JHud’s technique and power

[@FranklySpeaking.]

Remembering this like it was yesterday! LOVED this pair of powerhouse divas! SANG LADIES!!

[@gimpy10]

I want them to record this together

[@MidtownATLRobby]

kimberley locke and frenchie need to record a duet dance cd. they would wreck a dance floor singing to some heavy disco/ house/ trance beats. some producers and songwriters should take a chance on it...

[@meganjosterhout]

This inspired me so much as a little girl. I’m 31 now and still watching. Love both of their voices and the background vocals are gorgeous

[@jason22az]

I luved it too...I wanted them to keep singing this song!!

[@ajamaicanparadox1]

OMG i've seen it all.. i give them a nomination for best performance ever aired on television, you tube, nething, and then i will turn around and give them the award for it too!!!!

[@Agju]

my honest opinion....Frenchie is the best singer I've heard in a LONG time. I honestly think she's one of the best singers out there today.

[@Kokoszek]

Now that you're gone, All that's left is a band of gold All that's left of the dreams I hold Is a band of gold And the memories of what love could be If you were still here with me You took me from the shelter of my mother I had never known or loved any other We kissed after taking vows But that night on our honeymoon, We stayed in separate rooms

[@lanceweb15]

To this date this is the best duo sung together on American Idol

[@derrickharley1989]

I come back to this often to hear REAL singing... ✌🏿😌

[@g3d2002]

Awesome. I loved Frenchie from her audition, but didn't discover Kimberley until this performance - so great!

[@livyxxeleven]

i loved her so much. i am sure i was her number one fan! she is so gorgeous and i memorized every song she sang on american idol. i read all her interviews and memorized all her favorite things

[@aaroncreagh4402]

Frenchie and Kimberley were crazy that season! I was loving it!

[@jellyjellybean]

Great duet. Great voices. Powerful and just amazing.

[@totallygothboy]

the DIVAS of season two! lol if Frenchie wasnt disqualified and made the top 12...ooooh buudy, she would've put a world of hurt for all the other contestants. probably one of the most vocally talented contestants eeever on the history of the show.

[@Bentleyonthego]

i am really upset i can't find many frenchie davis songs that are good quality, she has such an amazing voice, and when i saw her in rent, she blew it away omg love her!

[@gabe2ricco]

Great great great...simply great I love both of them..amazing voices

[@jellyjellybean]

Its what I do. I think I reply too much sometimes. But I honestly just love singers, and power belters like these two. Thanx again.

[@JayWilliamsTP]

OMG I’VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS SINCE I WAS A CHILD!!!!

[@mackfarrell8264]

LOVE these two

[@SteelAVic18]

Best IDOL Hollywood Performance EVER!

[@hithere1590]

I used to love this show.

[@QCongress83]

This is one of my favorite "Idol" moments. Kim (I had a huge crush on her back then) and Frenchie definitely did their thang on this song. It's jacked up how neither one of them isn't a big star like they should be. They shoud've gotten more play than they did. Plus, they should've recorded this song together and came out with as a single even if they didn't plan on being a group. That song would've been a bonafide hit.

[@breannasvu2009]

I love Frenchie and I love her confidence. I wish I had away to make people notice her.

[@PJSparkle10]

thank you so much 4 posting this my fav song from idol!!!

[@stanford0711]

amazing!

[@misslawless6021]

I would pay so much money for them to do a collab album!!!!

[@mandykal]

I'll never forget this...they did well!

[@philiperigo-backsman7487]

Still great to watch

[@jellyjellybean]

Thanx for posting the video clip.

[@videodude23]

It's incredibly amazing now looking back at this,cause I definitely remember this when I was younger YEARS ago! It still hurts me of how bad that destroyed FRENCHIE DAVIS! It was clear she was a threat!

[@darnellhenderson2170]

This was a great season.

[@AnneHedonia1]

Really great! Talented. Powerful.

[@nadare05]

Talent over image. Fantastic!

[@RobbyRageisFuntastic]

these girls are fierce! Love them!

[@SteelAVic18]

DIVA Frenchie were AWESOME!! I love her!

[@whiteroseray]

Most Amazing Singers In AI... Frenchie!!! I LUV HER BIG VOICE !!! AMAZING !!! GIVES ME SHIVERS !!!

[@justschr]

I feel so bad for both of them but they were the original Hollywood week drama that went wrong for everyone... Had Frenchie not been disqualified these would have been the two divas of the series...

[@qusan]

Still my favorite group audition.

[@PowellMansfield]

loooove both of them. kimberly's new song "fall" is amazing. go get it on itunes!

[@smoshfan587]

they should go on tour !!!

[@spideyTB]

ilove this song

[@jimmypikachuchoi]

Spent so much time making calls, voting for KLocke! Absolute best vocal range in the competition. Glad she made it to top 3. Frenchie was my favorite, too bad she got dq'd. They shoulda been top 2 IMO with Clay and Ruben in the mix of Top4. Great season!!!

[@rankingj]

I love this

[@cosplaytimecapsule]

This is when idol was THE greatest TV show

[@liljb79]

both very talented women

[@hakaida88]

I love reliving season II, the best ever! Frenchie was completely cheated...We would have totally had a top 5 of Reuben, Clay, Kimberly, Frenchie and Trenyce/Josh.

[@MichelleValastro]

they were great..

[@angelaforshey2224]

This is Gold

[@ucandance87]

Kimberley recorded this song on her new album, it's great!

[@da-railsmith8828]

I love this song, and the both of them... I haven't watched this sorry ass show since that season!!

[@IQEllis]

seasons 2 and 3 of American Idol were the best.

[@elviscentral]

Yes to me first two seasons were really good, but the second was better, look at Clay Aiken, I love Clay Aiken and have been to 7 concerts, spent thousands of dollars on the man, and I love Kimberly and Kelly Clarkson, and Mr. Taylor...thanks for the upload great video

[@sgcldill]

1:15 goosebumps - talented, talented, talented woman

[@Mia444]

I've been looking up all my old fave AI performances this week and this one by Frenchie & Kim stands alone as the single best Hollywood round song ever on 7 seasons of Idol. THAT'S how it's done, bitches!

[@tishabyte]

The best ever

[@Orello100]

I love del ladies!

[@maitlenmavuda]

still the best group perfomance on idol

[@Sammygmd]

I totally agree!

[@AmmYLaW]

brilliant

[@luvcam1975]

I thought these two were great. Their performance of "BAND OF GOLD" was all I remember from this round in the competition.

[@nujac321]

You got that right!

[@mmurph617]

Frenchie was also on the Voice.

[@polishedsteel]

wow there really good!

[@pdy15]

frenchie is going to be on nbc's the voice this Tuesday so please if you guys think she is talented support her

[@dustee]

Agreed!

[@o0ohahahao0o]

lol I love how Frenchie dyes her hair to match her outfits.

[@xavisbrix]

dem girlz can SING !!!!!!! pure hotness...!

[@mochaslush1]

I would love to hear these two do the Two Tons of Fun song "Just Us". I think it would be hot.

[@rondawitt6275]

looovvveee!

[@ElectricShark]

Yes, Kimberly is beautiful!

[@dustee]

Me too! I wished KLo would have gone into RnB,

[@FuriousPumpkin]

I had a friend who tried out when Ruben was there. They already had enough portly black guys so they told him he wasn't going to make the cut and to try again next year.

[@CrystalClearNews]

I thought there was a longer version yet of this song they had together --with a shot of their--ample-- backsides, because there were shows that criticized A-I's obsession with weight and discrimination of large women. I love this song. Those other women were scared to share with them! I am white, and I would have taken courage to sing with these two if I was on A-I! YES! Because it would inspire me to do better than I would otherwise. If you race aganist greyhounds, you learn to run faster.

[@manictigger1031]

this is back when AI was worth watchin from start to finish., now I just watch it for the first few weeks of auditions

[@nooneveryimportant]

@yandrsupreme remember that it was a process of auditions, not a concert,

[@hooskinbagen]

I love 2 gear ppl with big voices! They sound so good. Whitney Houston has a big voice and u see where it got her! (fame wise)

[@joenathantan]

i'd buy it too ^^ ( but, download of course preferable Lolz )

[@miguelsix09]

What nadare05 means is that because Kim and Frenchie are both plus-sized women, they don't fit the typical image of a pop artist, so it's nice for them to get recognized for their talent, because they both have it in spades.

[@roooarg]

2nd season of american idol was the best. end of discussion.

[@RobertoBotello]

Es que antes de entrar a American Idol, ella tomo fotos para un website sin camisa, media desnuda. La problema fue que ese website decia que todas sus modelas eran baja de 18 anos (falso). Los encargados de American Idol pensaron que era un problema demasiada dificil, y no le dejaron llegar a los Top 36. Ella estaba en Hollywood, pero le cortaron alli...pues, no le cortaron, pero no la dejaron seguir por sus fotos, no por su voz. Ella ha estado en Broadway en la programa Rent.

[@fearless3geclipse]

kim i love you baby. . .

[@DangHesHot]

WOW! Realllllly awesome!!!! I too think that Kimberley was better, though!

[@ie1018]

Kimberly is super talented!!

[@thetruth87]

Wow, am I the only one that thinks Paula looked reallllllly different? I guess that's what 5 years will do to ya. Great job by Kimberly and Frenchie!

[@DJaySplitSecond]

Ohhhhh I had a big crush on Kimberly 🙂

[@reneep9972]

me too

[@Slamnewton]

And those tiiitss she got

[@erdancer]

Frenchie Davis your voice is many times better than Kimberley's !!!!!!! Uneral!!!!! Love your voice Frenchie!!!!!

[@MaruFlo28]

hey im from germany..can someone tell me why frenchie didnt make it trough?!?!?!?

[@chinto1984]

If these two ever make an album together, the gays would love it. Why? Because I'd buy it.

[@lucasboden]

Yeah, Clay Aiken and Ruben were voted for because they were cute.
