Lakisha Jones - This Ain't A Love Song

[@driadeaguiar]

my favorite version of this song, wish it was on spotify

[@neondesertrye]

I still think this is one of the best performances ever on the show.

[@dbulc5171]

This is one of my all-time favorite performances from this show.

[@juliadandy6019]

still remember watching this on TV Just AMAZING!

[@ambiguousdaisy]

I still can't believe she didn't win the whole thing! Love her so much

[@guilhermeborsa]

Thanks Bon Jovi. You wrote and Lakish nailed it

[@libbysdad19]

One of the best ever Idol performances...LaKisha is amazing.

[@Holly5794]

I remember being so moved by her performance and I remember voting for her

[@LacyLane1050]

This is my most favorite American Idol performance. Thanks to youtube I can continue to watch and enjoy it. Would love a recorded Lakisha version of this song.

[@guilhermeborsa]

2024 and here I am again. Watched when it broadcasted

[@SteveS4755]

SHE ROCKED THIS SONG!!!

[@ujamaa4]

I remember watching this live and I when she got to that "Baby" and paused, that was like the vocal equivalent of Vince Carter dunking over that French guy in the Olympics lol

[@dianemosier121]

First time I ever voted

[@jasonjohnson3589]

She bodied this. Lakisha probably is the best pure vocalist they ever found. She smoked it.

[@cgright79]

This has to be the absolute BEST performance EVER on American Idol! At least to me it is. LOL, I LOVE it!

[@1l2a3s4h5a6]

amazing! the best performance of the season!

[@pookybearkarate]

she is amazing GOT TO LOVE HER!!!!!!!!

[@reyjusuf]

Melinda and Lakisha should've been in the final

[@notabadguy06]

What makes this even more awesome is that she was on her way out. But because his performace was so great, she stayed.

[@JakobTennisMB]

She still left too early.

[@tonibenedict5751]

Still awesome in 2018-!

[@SeraphimLady]

Love her!!

[@whynotmercury6677]

amazing! best cover ever! Jon must be so proud!!

[@ddis8126]

Anyone know how to get the recording of this? It's so good!

[@bruceleeroy8302]

Listen really closely at 5:10 and you can hear Paula say *don't be touching my man!* and you can see Paula pointing to Lakisha to go away. Please, tell me I am not the only one who didn't notice.

[@DanFan210]

she is great^^ please don't remove the video please~~~

[@TeanoZ]

Still a vibe in 2021!!!

[@kvee119]

Totally I agree. The first part of the song is the best. If she wants to make a record that sells, that's the thing to go. Not sure her manager sees it though.

[@histephanie]

@adrianfrance Yes, he wrote it with Richie Sambora and Desmond Child :)

[@kathconserv]

i love this!

[@toddmueller6646]

How did she not win?

[@kathconserv]

i agree with what you said.

[@cw-no8fs]

I don't remember that kiss, this was definitely edited before it was aired here in the uk

[@histephanie]

no! Desmond Child! not Destiny's Child. Desmond Child is a songwriter, he wrote a lot of songs with Jon and Richie.

[@kathconserv]

this chick has some lungs on her.

[@triviafreak1]

i want to kiss Simon too:)

[@shaboom362]

I forget how far did Lakisha get?

[@tommy9758]

4th Place

[@emmanuelzanders1746]

4th behind Melinda Blake Jordan

[@MyFinalHeaven18]

[@vipereyes96]
