Vonzell Solomon - How Do I Live

[@nigelsaunders9290]

2024, I still come back to this performance.. so good

[@colettefan]

That moment when she struggles for a beat and then the magic happens! It makes my heart happy every time! Love baby v.

[@osahju914]

When In the video

[@colettefan]

josh miller lol

[@osahju914]

1:48?

[@colettefan]

josh miller exactly. She fumbles the lyrics

[@dadizzie]

Vonzell is pursuing the industry, and with much more effort than most. She's actually CEO of her own record company (Melodic Records). No other singer I know of can say that. She's coming out with a CD this year, and has snippets of some of her songs for her fans to hear. Trust me she is gonna be BIG. I have tons of faith in this girl.

[@kelvinwicker1383]

Vonzell Solomon this girl is beautiful can definitely sing pure naturally vonzell solomon this girl got it I love it she one of my top American idols of all times Vonzell Solomon can blow just beautiful I know she already had an record deal and Vonzell Solomon is doing it

[@jonathan3691]

Her voice really is something. There's a nice depth to it and the tone is sweet. Deep and sweet... an uncommon combination IMO.

[@Randy-Roberts]

Vonzell is MY winner that season!

[@DCWYT08]

she gave it soul

[@dea0102]

This gurl ripped this song up....WOOOOOOOW!!! I have never heard anyone sing this song better than her...WOW!!!

[@lavishc8221]

She was the only reason I watched that season, I was only 13 at the time and all I could remember was the girl with the magical voice. She has beauty, personality and an unbelievable talent, why isn't she on everyone's radio and tv screen? I've been a fan of yours since I saw you and pretty soon the whole world will be, love you vonzell.

[@ImaniLai]

She´s on the road with Todrick Hall right now

[@mikesterSTLMO]

BeeGlastonburyHD Who dat?

[@Sirbananasir]

A youtube sensation does inspirational flash mobs the Beyoncé thanked him for one he did for her he makes hilarious skits writes music he can dance and sing I just saw him a few days ago on MTV you have to look him up he is amazing!!!!

[@Sirbananasir]

She plays Bonquisha on Todrick Hall's #bandcamp

[@felipemajo5770]

She didn’t win only because Fantasia won the previous season. She was significantly better than Fantasia

[@wdcox]

she just added soul to a country song....Can you do that? I don't care, she sounds amazing.

[@y0ugakulover]

this is the best version that ive heard!! shes really really great!!

[@lf1234]

So emotional. How someone NOT LIKE this performance. They must have a heart of stone.

[@dannyyspencerr]

born to sing. born to sing. i cant say it enough

[@lf1234]

The emotion!!!!!!!!! LeAnn could not keep up with this!!!!!!!

[@justinchester0018]

Her version made me cry. Love her version. She put a new flavor to the song that was really known. I love the soulness of her voice. You are still my all time favorite AI contestant.

[@discofever88]

she sing this song deeply..!!! i like someone who sing a song from a bottom of her/his heart... a lyric problem that vonzell did covered with her EXTRA performence.. i love this girl so much..!! she is not win the competition but she win my heart.. SHE IS MY IDOL!

[@Cin2023]

So freaking powerful! I loved Vonzell. ☺

[@raeboo08]

BABY V!!!!!!! We love ya mama i voted and rooted for you every step of the way!! and i still am cant wait for the album.

[@cherita18]

I done seen this video like 30,000 times and it still gives me chills, the girl is a beast.

[@xavyong]

season 4 were great..Vonzell with her R&B root..Bo Bice with Rock & Roll and Carrie with her Country root..three deserved to be the top 3..the best top 3 of all season

[@lufflyness]

I love this version, reminds me of 90s Brandy/Monica ballads. She didn't get enough credit for this performance, in addition to slaying those end notes you can tell she was feeling what she was singing.

[@ccarbon11]

after this aired, whenever i heard this song (the original), i always sang along, but i did it the way vonzell did. (how she went up the 2nd time on "without you"). i've been waiting for her to resurface for the longest time!!!!!!

[@Prettigirlt]

I think she is a great singer. i love her so much. Everytime she sings i get chills. You go girl!!! ~Tiff~

[@colettefan]

damn, this woman still takes my breath away. even though this is not one of my favs from her, i love to see/hear it! she's still never been topped by any other contestant in my opinion. i just haven't heard anyone else with such clear and open chops! i'm a baby v freak! represent. lol

[@chavivz]

the best version on idol ever... next to yesterday of Syesha!!! you are the best idol ever... though carrie is popular now... i can tell you are still the best!!!

[@countrybooky]

as am listening to this more and more... she did a good job on it.... lots of emotion... she made me believe it... thats true singing... hope she releases and album soon...

[@Life_of_A_Man]

She is so soulful!

[@remberella]

vonzell put this song on my favorite list. i had heard it before she sang it, but it was just another nice country song. starting at 1:57, i don't think anyone has every sung it as well -- no more falsetto, just a powerful wonderful voice. it still gives me chills. i was so disappointed with the judges. randy's first comment was "dawg, is it just me or was that too slow", he later gave her a little credit.

[@GutsandHeartGuy]

Excellent job!

[@teddy37300]

Thanks !! I hop it would come up in France !!

[@5450daniel]

I'm so glad it got reposted!!!!

[@BHG111010]

Vonzell was my top 2 pick for AI in that season...i loved her personality and her singing!!! I wonder where she is now? She's amazing!!

[@uwoeric]

She almost lost it midway through and then saves the song by jumping to a higher key and totally nailing it, WHO DOES THAT!? Incredible!!!! One of my favourite AI performances ever.

[@babyjane2006lover]

2.08-2.11 was the magical moment in the whole performance..the feeling was unbelievable!

[@luizh]

Another Brilhant Performance! You Go Baby V!

[@jon_low]

I agree, it's bone chilling. And those judges pounded her for it. She was destined to lose, no matter how amazing she was.

[@eagles01211]

probably one of the best seasons on any singing show in america

[@justinchester0018]

u are really phenomenal.... i really love the soul of your voice vonzell my tears were falling whenever i watch u singing

[@Chellefan]

She tore this song up! I don't see how the judges really didn't like it.

[@dantedkingofficial]

Such an amazing talent!!

[@JungTm]

She is amazing.super power voice. I like she so much :)

[@dadizzie]

This was country music week she had to do a song like this, and she did awesome anyways especially at the end.

[@bellebear09]

One of my favorite Idols that season. It's a shame she didn't win.

[@ToneRulez]

I took pictures with her on the American Idol Finale this past season!!! She is sooo nice!! i wanted alot of pics and she let me!!!! LOL

[@tonymims3811]

She was definitely my favorite American Idol.

[@dmann3g]

There are so few singers who can sing these sonegs in full voice..that's the thing that was so amazing about Vonzell..she could do it..could really pull off any song you shot at her..from Streisand to Donna Summer to Whitney to Leanne Rimes..best to ever hit the AI stage if we wanna be honest

[@Llewod]

I think both of the girls rocked that song and every other song they sang!

[@JayrolCarl17]

one of the most memorable voice on american idol!!

[@Alexshareidea]

Great voice!!!!

[@bobbert20]

i think that its pretty awesome that she was able to sing almost the whole song

[@theforeman118]

Vonzell released a CD in the late summer of 2006. The CD was titled My Struggle.

[@Llewod]

aww thats so sweet, shes brilliant

[@uwoeric]

This song was a struggle for her, but it's amazing how she nearly got stuck at ont point but then jumped an octave and kicked the crap out of the ending. What a talent, haha. I thought she should have been in the finale too.

[@takatomon]

goosebumps...just goosebumps WOW

[@babyjane2006lover]

2:09-2:11 the magical melody she gave to the song and that won it for me.

[@jonathan3691]

The way she changed up that chorus at the end was amazing

[@dadizzie]

@pmxperience Wow thats great! Can't wait for her EP! Tell her street team member Darnell said hey! lol.

[@kellykellyfan15]

when i watched season 4 i voted for vonzell everytime

[@garayoga]

i love her singing this song

[@dadizzie]

o yea and btw she was very emotional that night too if you watch the video "How Do i live judges' comments" on this site you'll see that. i think its amazing how she still came out and gave a good show.

[@qg6ff]

Vonzell Solomon, SIMON-WISE, is THE MOST underrated contestant of American Idol. She came in a decent place, but with Simon's comments she's the most underrated.

[@EdwinYoungSings4Life]

I LOVE VONZELL

[@luckystar007]

It's coming this February but her pre-idol album is on Itunes =)

[@justinchester0018]

Hearstrings! Goosebumps!

[@mizqueen88]

I love this song

[@dadizzie]

she's releasing one this year i dont know when this year but i cant wait

[@qbone20]

I LOVE HER and her wig

[@kien905]

amazing high notes at the end

[@chrislloyd9]

She just sang Leanne Rimes into the ground. LOVED it Vonzell

[@akithan]

I was rooting for her to win. I was so disappointed because even if she didn't win, I thought she deserved to make the top two.

[@coolmaplestore]

beautiful

[@AX122]

@jay90jay1 I have always thought that watching this season thats why I love them both

[@AJOHNSON5]

all that and she's singing the columbine sonegs of all songs i see why she was crying the would have had to carry me off stage, the best vocal in idol history chain of fools my Baby V. can't wait for her first single to her new album.

[@MrDONNELLGILBERT]

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW

[@thebestofvoices]

I'm with the majority. I never heard anything funky with the vocals beside the one mumble part..but I think she really got into this song!! She sang the hell outta this song!

[@luizh]

she is such a power house

[@chinwe33]

i love how she made this song her own.after hearing the song i did not know it was country

[@05treal]

THAT IS A TRUE STATEMENT

[@00gjsmith]

where was america in the voiting process? this girl was awesome!!!

[@abienoya]

she made every songs as if it was her winning moment.. she shudve won

[@BlueMarvel21]

I still listen to V's version of this song and yet STILL can't figure out any flaws in her singing. And her high notes are ridiculous! This woman can sang! She's a top level singer just like LaToya, Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson.

[@x4812k]

it's not the show that eliminates people, it's the American viewers.

[@dadizzie]

Paula said somethin along the lines of she was a class act or somethin (for bein able to still do her thing when her day was goin horribly), Randy said it seemed too slow but she brought it home in the end, and simon said tht she looked and sounded incredibly nervous and tht he was gonna stop there since she was emotional. personally i still think the whole song was awesome.

[@JoseMarieDesabille]

what happened to vonzell? i really like her, for me vonzell and mario has also the star quality! they should have their break in hollywood,but i know mario got one! im looking forward to her album...i hope she'll do one! im always a fan of yours vonzell...

[@reutshaviro]

nice voice :)

[@felipemajo5770]

She could have sell million of records.

[@dadizzie]

she's releasing one this year

[@garayoga]

can you upload the full version of this pls i was looking for it for a long time

[@teddy37300]

Did she realease and album ? I love her voice, i'm french and in a french tv show similar to American idol we don't have great voices like her!!

[@daritykane7]

can you upload the whole vid with the judges comments please

[@goodywin]

@wdcox have you not listened to whitney houston sing "I will always love you" by Dolly Parton?

[@dmann3g]

@mrj06 great for u bein honest..because Vonz was the most talented vocally to ever appear along side Latoya London..but Vonz, IMO is the hands down biggest talent

[@dadizzie]

I looked it up and think that vonzell did as good as both of them... and even if she wouldn't have done better than those two, it wouldn't have mattered. she was still awesome (as always). i don't know about you, but if this were the first performance i saw of vonzell i'd still be saying "damn this girl is good, why didn't she win." even when a song is not her best it still would be so damn amazing. thats why i love listening to vonzell. but i have to admit Leann and Trisha did awesome too.

[@h.travisyoung1070]

how did she not win??

[@LMerone1]

I seriously felt the shit was rigged

[@LeoGrrrr818]

Do you know where to find vids you can save on your computer? I'd love to have some of Vonzell-she's amazing!

[@brownericj]

@Enjouchi Look up when Vonzell sings "When You Tell You Love Me" by Diana Ross. It was one of her best performances on the show and Simon tells her she was "totally off." Look at his face when he says it, he can't even keep a straight face. He obviously wanted Carrie to win.

[@kbaker2011]

@Enjouchi Look at her " I turn to you performance." It was the best performance of the season and he said " Oh, I have a terrible feeling that wasn't as good as you thought it was." He was only saying that so people would vote for Carrie. He wanted Carrie to win. So he threw the only person that stood a chance at beating her which was Vozell.

[@ScottyG124]

The notes she hits at the end there are amazing, I dont get how this is an off performance...regaurdless she nailed why she was in the top 3 with dont leave me this way!

[@ScottyG124]

I actually thought this was a great night for her! This was great and then Dont Leave me this way was hot, I wish she at least made it to the finale because we would have a CD by now!

[@CameronCourts]

She's still the best AI contestant EVER!!!!!
