LiV Warfield Sings A SPECTACULAR Song Written by Prince, "The Unexpected" | Quarterfinals | AGT 2024

[@michaelsangel73]

The fact she shared a stage with prince. N sang a song he wrote for her. That Alone is amazing. You got my vote

[@anovosedlik]

I don't get why she's even on AGT. She's already a polished star. She's well beyond needing a competition show to prove herself.

[@vanitysmirror]

She's on because she's not a star. Yes she worked Prince, but no one even knew she was until now. Prince hardcore fanbase knows but not many outside of that. ​@@anovosedlik

How the F did she lose to an act of kids doing a phys ed get in shape exercise???????????????.?...

[@Carolynnin]

She is the absolute real deal. I have been listening to her albums nonstop since she won the golden buzzer.

[@TRACEWORLD2]

Oh wow are they on here?

[@Jack-caroline]

Same

[@anovosedlik]

I don't even know why she's on AGT. She's so beyond a competition show--I mean, I would assume she's a grammy winner already from hearing her.

[@THU31]

@@anovosedlik Well, she's not on AGT anymore. She comes across as a bit arrogant, to be honest. Thinks she's a superstar and deserves everything. That's not what people like to see on this show, and that's why they chose Richard Goodall instead. He's raw, humble and genuine. And that's why they went with Ashes & Arrows too. Three cool and humble guys just singing without any crazy production value. Often less is more.

[@anovosedlik]

@@THU31 ...Goodall is one that I do believe is legit just a random guy. But most of AGT and BGT is totally fabricated. The magic is painfully fake. Slight of hand stuff is different (my ex roomie was a magician), but the mentalist stuff is SO fake. And even the music acts now are kinda BS. BGT's 2024, winner Sydnie Christmas, was already a mid-star on Britain's version of Broadway, yet she made herself out to be this girl that was just a receptionist with no previous work in entertainment. They also bring acts that do well on the other franchises (ie, take people that won on BGT and put them on AGT). The whole idea that these people auditioning are looked over, ignored, struggling artists is total BS. I feel like AGT is where you go when you've had a pretty good career so far, but you're stalling cuz the online world is super congested and cable isn't.

[@postwealth369]

Who else watched this performance more than once? Damn! This is how to do it. Her voice, her movements, her energy, her screams, her band OMG. This is perfection. I'd be surprised if she doesn't win, but what the hell, her career has already taken off headed to the STARS. AGT is the platform but the world is her stage.❤

[@parisdube4726]

The fact that she didn't make it through proves the people don't understand true talent!!! LIV I can promise you as a Prince diehard fan, he made me watch you but YOUR talent made me stay!!! I will promote you in my little part of the world as long as you are making music. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

[@dawnlennon5331]

AMEN to that

[@marocampbell7367]

💥💥not really... Sometimes.. Judges and ppl see that someone with such talent don't need the show to be recognized or make it... So save it for the smaller person...

[@Heron.Demarco]

That’s EXACTLY what I said re the three artists mentioned, with her own vibe mixed in! She is one of a kind. And I think it’s a SHAME that she didn’t make it through. I cannot stand the way the voting is set up.

@@gizmo8361 It's amazing how people who make it without really having talent and then you have someone like her has to work extra hard to get signed. I am sure people know her in the music industry - as to why she has not signed is uncanny to say the least. Her continued persistence, drive and tenacity will eventually get her there. And when she does - she will on "Top-of-the- World".

​​@@gizmo8361Because the music industry likes trash like Ice Spice. That's the way the industry is going people with no talent are put on when people with actual talent are thrown to the side.

[@rainymoon9848]

On the short-lived TV show Alter Ego, a black singer, Anthony Flammia, with the Alter Ego The Loverboy, mentioned that he got signed to a record deal. But the label wanted him to do R&B when he wanted to do rock. So, some black singers want to do rock music, but their labels want them to do R&B, hip-hop, etc. Mary J. Blige did sing some rock songs in the Rock of Ages musical movie. Particularly, Journey's song "Any Way You Want It". She also sang a cover of the song "Stairway to Heaven". American Idol contestant, Melinda Doolittle, also had a backing singer background, like Liv. She sang Bon Jovi's song "Have a Nice Day" on Idol, where Simon, said she was" like a young Tina Turner". On Masked singer Kandi Burruss, as Night Angel, sang covers of the rock songs "Black Velvet" and "You Give Love a Bad Name". T-Pain did a great cover of "American Woman" on Masked Singer. He was covering Lenny Kravitz's version. Even iconic singer, Patti LaBelle, sang some rock songs on Masked Singer. She sang Heart's song "Alone" and Survivor's song "Eye of the Tiger". Though, her voice fitted "Alone" better than "Eye of the Tiger". Decades ago, on Star Search, contestant Reva Rice sang some covers of Heart songs on the show. On the past season of the Voice, one guy sang a great version of Journey's song "Lights". There is a black European melodic rock lead singer on the Italian label Frontier's roster. I don't remember the name of his group, though.
