She was one of the best talents that year. She, however, didn't get enough votes to keep her in the competition.

[@maxinelobban5220]

[@tuvous4990]

P L E A S E! Listen to Ella, Barbra, Cher. Diana or Karen. Or, Listen to JAHMENE DOUGLAS. This girl merely sounds like a High-School-girl-who -can-sing.

[@beejay8114]

AGREED!!

I could not have agreed more. I listen over and over again!

That's what singing with a purpose and positive Vibes look like. When she song SUMMERTIME it showed her skills wow

[@geraldinealanah8367]

I would buy her music without blinking twice.Go Shan...

[@yulandak4751]

First off she owns the stage as any artist...period but I can see that she would also make a wonderfully perfect Jazz artist. I would want to go to her shows. 💖

[@Reality_TV]

She is far more powerful than a jazz artist! FAR more powerful! Her voice is made for big pop ballads! 100%! She'd be wasted on jazz.

[@yulandak4751]

Agree..The sky is the limit for her💗💗💗💗

[@lanaranger9770]

Two words keep coming :in concert. I sure would love to see her. Do you know what she's up to now?

[@SteveRMusic93]

​@lanaranger9770 In the west end but still recording just released a book 😊

[@charlesanderson2095]

I don’t post much but I have to say that this is one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard. The way she builds and a performs song is magical!! This woman should be sharing her gift with the world through a major recording label. Seriously Whitney Houston quality stuff here folks!! The best ever on any of these types of shows!!

[@karenstark9235]

she is clearly doing what she was born to do. pure magic in every performance.

[@beejay8114]

If I was on this show, I would be pissed. She is not an amateur. There is no damn way, she just started singing. She's probably doing Broadway or something along those lines. Definitely not an amateur. A ringer.. beautiful voice, the audience control, she's complete.

[@superheroanimal1]

You can see thst Simon like her. She's a soulful singer

[@wiserokobiau2455]

She was a threat and they had already fell for Dolton. If they had given her the golden buzzer at her audition, she would have won. They also don’t like when you can write, produce, and all that. When she did her US solo I front of the industry mogul, Shan’s performance was the best.

[@d.j.d8285]

Amen!
