Tamyra Gray - A House Is Not A Home

[@joks52]

9 Years later and this performance still gives me the chills.

[@Thesawman636]

This was about 13 years ago bud

[@scotthasanosebleed]

+Joks w Actually this season was in 2002 not 2006 so this performance is over 10 years old ! crazy

[@crazyasianman07]

Now it’s 17 years old OMG. Where did the time go?!? 🤭

[@curt8806]

why? pitchy and her vibrato was bad

[@badmaru6699]

@@curt8806 says the expert 😪

[@katyterberg2830]

Her being elimated so early was a HUGE injustice. Her voice is just incredible.

[@projectdesertfox287]

Her elimination is what made me stop watching the show.

[@victorialord8069]

Watching this in 2024 and it still gives me chills. What a tremendous talent.

[@juliapharmd6671]

15 years later and I still keep coming back to this performance :')

[@AnnieTigerChucky]

One of the best performances ever on American Idol.

[@Mike-fp5rc]

This was flawless. IMO, this is still the best performance of a House is Not a Home out of the show's entire 15 season run ... and there's been a LOT of really great renditions of this gorgeous song.

[@ssimmons1124]

Michael K. Jacob Lusk was great too in season 10!

[@HelenLongoable]

14 years later and this performance still blows me away.

[@CareStar102]

Don’t mind me I’m just here in 2018 still in looooove...with this cover.

[@babyboylovesmusic]

This was just insane. Sometimes a few, very few, idol performances give me chills. I have no words for this. She sang this like this would be the last sing she would ever sing. It was great.

[@1superstarjames]

I mean I just love this girl. She really set the standard for any singing show and singers with this performance. It's still one of the best so many years later. Perfect!

[@aubesie]

definitely one of the better artists that have come through this show. She was not just a singer but a performer in her own right

[@pittworldwide]

Top 10 Idol performances ever.

[@mugsy201]

7 years later and this performance still stands out as one of my favorites! Incredible!

[@gavino681]

To say that this performance is amazing is an understatement. Kelly Clarkson and Tamyra gray were the only ones that season that gave performances that were on par with Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion. Tamyra Gray being eliminated before Nikki and Justin was a travesty

[@ReverendMeat51]

Agreed, it should have come down to her and Kelly. I remember a distinct WTF moment as a kid when she got cut

[@sonnychauhan1447]

rip nikki mckibbin

[@bjames61]

This is just an unbelievably fantastic performance.

[@GabeAllen4]

AGREE! This deffinetley is the best performance ever on American Idol! No one can top her, she's Outstanding!

[@lilmisssoup]

BRAVO. Tamyra absolutely blew me away... now i can't get the song out of my head!! aRGH!!! i can't believe i was in tears.. =P .. I think both Kelly & Tamyra deserves to be crowned the American Idol.. it's really a pity that both joined the same season =(

[@songsinging2120]

When I was a middle student, I heared this song first and now became adult and come to hear this beautiful song

[@Tenorboy29307]

"stroke" Not to mention, Tamyra seems to be able to belt at a VERY high range. It's quite impressive. I don't think Tamyra could give us the versatility that Kelly gives us, but that voice singing in the styles she's most comfortable...simply fabulous.

[@vehiclers6991]

Damn she belted it out really well. Great performance!

[@deonoxivar]

Wow! This girl can sing! Look at how she holds her microphone! She got that big great voice! OMG! She and Kelly were some of the best vocalists we've ever seen on the show!

[@gemyny1985]

Missing her in 2021

[@ispiseco]

She is a superstar! Same as Aretha and Whitney. Way to go! OMG what a voice!

[@rayr1352]

One of my favorite moments EVER on American Idol

[@1duender1]

Omg!! i remember when this 1st aired!! i was like a fresman in high skool!! im a sophmore in college now lol DAMN!! She rocked the house that nite!! :D

[@scottihoe]

even after years, this still remains one of my favorite idol performances because of her powerful emotion.

[@xan667]

beautiful young lady with a God given talent. awesome vocal talent with power and range. 😇

[@xoSNxo]

Tamyra should have been in the bottom 2 hands down! She's fantastic

[@HunnyLamb26]

This was her best performance in the competiotn and second best of the season behind Kelly"s rendition of Without You!

[@qbanmanny3]

I have not been able to forget this performance by TAMYRA!!!! She is incredible!!!!!

[@steigely1909]

One of the best performances on Idol EVER! Still gives me goosebumps when I listen to this.

[@angelboy147]

Wonderful!!! One of the all time Idol Performances. Still reverberates all these seasons and years later. Tamyra is a goddess

[@cauzin]

amazing performance. the best that i ever seen of "a house is not a home".

[@seanharris7843]

I remember this like yesterday

[@WitoldBanasik]

I agree. This is just an unbeliavably wonderful song marvelously performed by extraordinary talented woman !

[@shingo336]

I've been watching this performance around more than 5years.. But it's still amazing.. she's a amazing singer.. I still love her, her talent, her sweet personality... It's too bad that she is too far from where I live in.. I hope I will see her performance close to... God bless you Tamyra.♡

[@mikesterSTLMO]

Just goes to show how important marketing, branding, and good representation is in this business; or in this case THE LACK OF. This girl is truly outstanding and "should" have become a huge star.

[@mzbenz5]

I feel like I'm in church whenever this girl sings, and to me, that a mighty good feeling!!

[@jdapax]

Great performance, Tamyra. Thanks!

[@adhatten]

The part where he sings "it ends in tears" and went all the way down to his bottom register was amazing. The look on his face ws funny to b/c he knew we were feelin it. j. lo. had a fit at that point. and at the very end when he hit that high note. B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!

[@no1bratnaustin]

I had never heard this song until this show. I love her voice and she made me love this song. Tamyra you are amazing!!!

[@dianegalston100]

This is my all time "Favorite" version of this Song! Mrs. Tamyra Simon said it , this is still the best performance that has ever been on television by far! You should try to cut this song cuz if you did it would make you a house hold name for which you should already be! !! Your an amazing artist and you deserve so much more than just recognition! God bless you and your beautiful beautiful voice!!

[@TheInvincibleViolet]

Great version.. terrific. Really enjoyable. Thanks for posting.

[@ozbilh]

beautiful! she should have been a huge star!!

[@MrTrasherton]

Tamyra I loved you then and I love you now. The best performance on season 1 for sure. We all know it should have been between you and Kelly but what can we do. Hope you are doing well.I'm sure you are

[@tracyneatherway2001]

Tamyra Gray was the complete package!

[@clariceking4067]

She SANG the hell outta this one! Go on GIRL!!

[@maletiger03]

This was the first and only season I watched Idol. This should have been the season 1 winner hands down.

[@musicislyfe1672]

One of the best idol performances of all time

[@kareem21]

2013.. and I'm still watching.. still in awe :)

[@lightningshock12]

How the HELL was she voted out before Nicki's loud ass? Come on now lol It should've been Kelly and Tamyra.

[@anthonyzermeno896]

I felt the same way. It should have been Tamyra VS Kelly with Justin being 3rd.

[@sisterwendy]

Tamyra's rendition blows Miss Lillie out of water. That was amazing.

[@SuperUToobFan]

Beautiful song and beautiful woman! I forgot how good she was on A.I.

[@Pateg7]

I love her rendition... it's 2013 and I had to come back and see it again...

[@bequietimhappy]

This gives me goosebumps EVERY TIME.

[@mxheadroom]

What an amazing rendition. Simply marvelous!

[@dudekickthis]

she still gives me goosebumps. I was so disappointed when she was eliminated that i stopped watching american idol. watched it all up until that point.

[@CameronCourts]

I still remember seeing this as a kid.

[@luchitokool]

Tamyra! You must come to fame you rock! Sos la mejor Tamyra!! Maldita america loco, voten bien alguna vez...

[@theharkman]

Stunning! She really should have won. What a powerhouse!

[@MajorHaze]

One of the best Idol performances, period!

[@bequietimhappy]

I've got chills all over.

[@JulieDelahooke]

i remember this like it was yesterday. one of my favourite performances on idol ever

[@cooljob9]

that was really extraordinary singing!!! made me cry

[@Mr1007jag]

The Bomb!! Back in the day.

[@SMWhizKid]

GORGEOUS voice!

[@TheHola614]

She is still my FAVORITE AMERICAN IDOL ever. I remember crying when she lost, i was 14 years old at the time. Lol, i still get sad when i see how talented she is/was, and was unable to get a real career in the music biz. It sucks but im hope she is living comfortable and happy. America messed up on this one.

[@ruthzaballero2943]

Not only is she Beautiful and has a very nice personality she is also a great and wonderful very talented singer, hear hear, such a hard song to sing and she did it so well and so brilliantly such a performer too bad in my opinion she did not become our winner she was so very talented and such a singer too, such a shame and i think she is wonderful and so talented and bright!!!!

[@tomasjephersin3398]

Still Gives Me CHILLS

[@GabeAllen4]

This is still my favorite performance on American Idol. I don't think anything will top it in my eyes. :)

[@Judill]

I remember being shocked that she was voted off of this show. She was amazing.

[@CaliforniaAfrican]

That was really beautiful.

[@sweuxth]

this still gives me chills and its been such a long time since I first heard this

[@conniehurlburt987]

She is great.I can believe it.She unbelievable.I agreed with Simon.Amazing performance.I loved it.Not a karaoke but she makes it her own song.I wish she recorded this song.Beautiful unforgetable moments in American Idol show.

[@JulieDelahooke]

this today is still one of my favourite american idol performances EVER!!!

[@shiningyoonie]

this song just touches me everytime I listen to it!

[@corkyhorror9225]

It should of been Kelly and tamyra at the finale, I’m still very glad Kelly won, cause she proved why she is the first American over the years and one of biggest reasons she won besides her talent she was also very versatile which is good to have in the music industry, which Adam Lambert also had, and why I was mad he didn’t win, cause like Kelly he was able to sing any kind genre and make it work if he wanted

[@LaughingOutLoudGirl]

omg that gave me goosebumps she was soo amazing!

[@amazingrace4u]

i love her version of it... this is simply brilliance. probably my most favorite top 12 performance ever.

[@mortygwhiz]

This is one of my favorite Bacharach songs an Tamyra really sang it well. She has been fairly successful since the show. She was a character on a FOX drama set in a high school. Was a pretty good actress too.

[@kimmiesimonlee4567]

Tamyra win hands down. That was lovely

[@Glitch47278]

Best vocals to ever grace an idol stage

[@Squeakstcc1]

Always one of my very few favorites on AI. Could not believe a couple others got to the final and she did not. Just a great all around person and performer.

[@songsinging2120]

2006년 중1때 우연히 보게 되어서 아직도 오게되는 노래 ㅋ 정말 잘부름

[@smileylb]

Tamyra is the total package...This was my favorite AI moment and still is.

[@chrixchua]

After 10 Seasons of American Idol, She is my All thime Favourite!

[@joeyjustjo]

THIS IS THE GREATEST EVER PERFORMANCE ON IDOLE WITHOUT A DOUT SHE WAS SO MUCH THE BEST SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH THE BEST ....

[@BtlrAngel2006]

She performed this song very well. I wish I could have seen it when it was live. I probably would have been like damn she is good. LOL!! Way to go Tamyra!!

[@nikvill]

she is great...luv it

[@showtunesman89]

Wow. This is superb.

[@morethanablog]

She's amazing. This performance gave me chills when I saw it on air for the first time & still does to this day years later. When she didn't make it, that was when I was officially turned off of American Idol.

[@mackdanny170]

Damn... Neva saw this B4. Tamyra Rocked It !!!

[@imaqtee1]

I love Tamyra, she have a great voice!

[@smileylb]

This is my favorite A.I. performance...The reason being, she took a song I didn't really know or like, and made me LOVE it. Sorry Luther...R.I.P. :D

[@shokre312]

She's in RENT right now, I went to see it Sunday. She was great as Mimi.

[@skkygirl]

Truly awesome.

[@beckfordbc]

Simply the best!!!

[@ajsnskool]

This was truly the best AI performance of all time, and one of the best I've ever seen anywhere. I still wish Tamyra would make it big.

[@x2004boyx]

She was amazing this was when idol was good they all lives together and got make overs may I add the clothes were amazing her look is bad ass

[@for052]

Her voice never gets old and I don't think it ever will ever, for me anyways. I'm still bitter from the first American Idol.
