What Really Happened to Wé Ani From American Idol

[@sandra-dianevalentine2154]

Those who win rarely succeed - her future will be much brighter!

[@mimiaquariusharris6244]

Yes, Jennifer Hudson is a prime example

[@chabyongheng6727]

We Ani's gift is one from God and no one can take it away. She is an Idol and doesn't need America's approval. She has God's approval and with His approval she will go far.

Her voice is as beautiful as she is.

[@ronaldperry279]

I mean she ight calm down Brenda

[@darleneharvey8648]

She doesn't need American idol. She is a fantastic singer. I hope and pray that she accomplished all her goals in the music industry. I have no doubt she will ❤

[@annettecalandriello1123]

She was the best,and should have won.

[@shirleystallworth2727]

She is completely beautiful and talented. All the best to her. When man says " No" God always has a bigger and better " YES"

[@ErnestBuen-in3ul]

Amen

[@JSAFIXIT]

She is AMAZINGLY talented.

[@jeanettedawson8500]

Wishing this performer success for she exudes natural talent. On to the stars girl, for you got this hands down. You don't need a talent competition to take your rightful place. Your star is shining bright like a diamond and your diamond bright like the stars. 😮❤❤❤ The talent for its amazing and look so good on you. God's in that manage it well!

[@gtsport3881]

She have absolutely everything to became the next signer icon in music industry.The performances we saw of her in Idol 23 literally is the final product of her hard work along her life, you can tell she been trough a lot. I can't imagine how much she can grow professionally if Music Industry support her/push her up.

[@monicashuman2025]

Absolutely she should have won! She's amazing

[@valeaciamyles6148]

She was cheated she owned the American idol. She should have won hands down

[@gregorypierre1363]

It’s rigged sometimes someone competing is related to someone who finances the show

[@jasonrodgers6192]

I just started listening to her....how tf did she lose smh lol

[@davidhill8565]

The same happened to Jessica Sanchez 11 years earlier.

[@joeamazing58]

She was cheated just like willie spence was

[@MrMartymar2000]

It’s all about the soob story

[@hatinasmuzick]

When your voice truly makes you stand out these days you get cheated a lot. I love her resilience. She is beautiful! And amazingly talented.

[@zenAllLove]

She reminds me of Michel' le with her baby doll voice and then hit us with that amazing melodic singing voice. Surprise surprise. We Ani you are going to have so many haters because you are doing this so so right!!!!

[@melissahiroti3275]

I agree! I just couldnt remember her name until I saw your comment lol

[@gerrysondalimot6736]

She deserves winning this she's very excellent and her vocal is admirable and unique.

[@mikkaela155]

she is a fantastic singer, I love all about her..she deserves the best, a true star !!!

[@anaferguson5135]

Gorgeous young lady with an amazing voice!

[@whipsplash6943]

She was the best on Idol that season, the judges egos got in her way.

[@marylallen1884]

She is too refined, too spiritually mature, self- confident, gifted, and talented to be confined to the limitations of America's musical industry! She can not be used and abused by the dark forces that rule over the industry! God has a special place for We!

[@dianaparker4807]

Wè Ani was one of the most talented singer American Idol had ever seen. She was robbed.

[@yvonnefuller9519]

She Is the BEST she sang better than the others and Even THE JUDGES!!!!

[@artnozacoth1110]

Human beings are threatened by poise, confidence and talent and will cut you down if they can. Those judges!!! She is purposeful with a spine. She’ll be okay. You don’t need those judges to be a star when you already are! That platform is a perfect place for exposure. The rest is up to you.

[@davidyoung2606]

I never saw this edition of Idol but if you have noticed in previous years...those expected to win and don't, are those who are going to "make it" and the one who wins needs the support to "make it" ...with her voice, she doesn't need help to succeed. Idol made it possible

[@eileennegron2882]

She is a humble person, and a POWERHOUSE SINGER!!!!

[@DelarryCarter]

She didn't need to win, sometimes its so obvious who's the best that giving them the win wont benefit them as much as someone who needs the WIN more for the exposure. Wé is undoubtedly a star. She didn't need an American idol win to tell us that

[@annalatimer1343]

She was the last straw when she didn't win and she was rob of the title but she have won in God eyes and I know better things are coming here way she will make it far so far my favorite American Idol singer❤ loves her voice

[@getdownnowd13]

She is totally a star God bless her

[@marylallen1884]

Yes, her gift will continue to bring her before great men! God will give her the right global platform he wants for her in his timing and the resources to be a blessing to millions of people all over the world!

[@jemelking25]

How'd she NOT win is the biggest question.

[@anonymous-yq9jo]

I actually can't remember who won that season...

[@chriswamahiu8751]

@@anonymous-yq9jo Iam Tongi.. He's so good as well

[@SRHisnum1]

She is a winner! What a gift!!! Sign her someone!!!!

[@hueman3840]

I refuse to watch American IDLE again - the finals selection was utterly stupid. Wé Ani is a GLOBAL treasure.

[@yvonnefuller9519]

Absolutely. I REFUSE TO WATCH IT AFTER SEEING SHE DIDN'T WIN👍

[@cajohnson1234]

An exceedingly beautiful woman in many ways, like personality, body, and voice. Sad to see her not win!

[@furiousfann]

Bro, never compare her to Demi Lovato. She is beyond. No offense to demi but come on man stop it. Demi Lovato’s voice is harsh, but this girl has soul.

[@AllisonNelson-lm5xq]

Demi can sing….However this girl is out of this world with NO help like Demi Lovato has had all these years. My God I can’t believe she didn’t win!!! She’s so damn amazing.

[@stephanieguthrie832]

She has an amazing voice

[@carriemcarthur8125]

I listened to Demi and yes I agree her rendition was superior. Let's hope she gets everything that life has to offer.

[@trygvij1604]

I don't know who writes Demi's songs but I think people should learn to separate the skill of songwriting from the skill of singing. There are so many talented songwriters who are average at singing namely Demi (if she writes her own music) and there are singers who only know how to sing and not write. This girl is not "better" than Demi but she def has a better singing voice.

[@thebeatnumber]

You're absolutely spot on. Demi Lovato, like most other Disney Pop Princesses, is an industry plant with multi million dollar songwriting and marketing departments propping them up. Demi and her fellow Disney Pop Princesses are more about style than substance.

[@StevenScarborough]

Usually great talent doesn't win on that show. Look at Jennifer Hudson, amazing voice and great actor ( with an Oscar to prove it) She was better off not winning. We Ani will be the same way.

[@soniagodlieb1896]

IN GOD'S BOOK SHE WON.!!!!!

[@Builder44708]

What a gifted young woman! Hadn’t heard of her before today - but I bet we’ll all be hearing plenty from her going forward.

[@darrellsteele929]

She is Beautiful with a Beautiful Voice!!!!

[@12lalalion]

Jasmine Sullivan was NOT a “fellow contestant”! She was the celebrity guest for the duets. How did you all get this wrong? We, great job! Continue to stand up for what you believe and who you are in your music, acting, and voice over career. ❤❤❤

[@andrewpollock77]

She should have won.

[@davidhill8565]

Colin Stough robbed her only because of music genre voting bias.

[@leehall8969]

She is a winner

[@davidhill8565]

Iam Tongi may be the show winner and social media winner, but Wé Ani is the real winner (AKA merit contest winner).

[@Keviekev115]

Who could’ve beaten that voice?

[@BDS356]

I agree, she should have won.

[@getdownnowd13]

That was a fair and respectful breakdown. Thanks for your clarity on this.

Way to go Ani. Keep moving foward,with your head up high.

I don’t watch these shows. I only found out about her yesterday, but his girl makes my knees weak. This is what amazing looks like in the flesh.

[@NateTheGr8ness]

It was good that she didn't win American Idol. There were singers who won American Idol that we never heard from or saw again. However, there were people who DIDN'T win American Idol that had major success. Jennifer Hudson is a perfect example. Had she won, she would've been pushed into recording music 🎙 that didn't resonate with her soul and who she really is. I have no doubt she'll go far. I hope she gets into voice-over work, too!

[@keishakelly3052]

She hands down should've won they let that boy win out of sympathy cuz her voice was soooo much more powerful than his

[@davidhill8565]

She should have made the finale instead of Colin Stough. The only reason Colin made the finale is bias for country music.

[@shireads2954]

For real! I'm so sick of people only voting for country music. There are some amazing country singers, but they get sent to the finals and actually win way yo often to make any sense.

[@davidhill8565]

@@shireads2954 The voting should be put under a microscope to detect biases. The app and texting should have a mechanism that would audit the cellphone’s music library, mostly to detect country music. There are country singers that earned their place in the competition, but Noah Thompson and Colin Stough are not one of them. No country singer should make it to the finale on the strength of their genre’s biased voters alone. I’ve been commenting on Colin Stough’s American Idol KZbin performance videos trying to police the fans reasons for voting for him. A term for winning easily on the strength of fanbase alone would be “fanwalking”, a portmanteau of “fan” and “cakewalk.” For country bias, that would be “twangwalking.” Colin Stough almost twangwalked. Noah Thompson twangwalked last year, and Chayce Beckham twangwalked the year before.

I noticed Katy Perry seemed to be in a mood with We Ani during the auditions. I thought it was weird then. I got the impression, and this is just me, that she was taken aback by We Ani's voice and skilful delivery. Weird though.

She was definitely my favorite from the minute she first opened her mouth. I told my brother, "She's going to win!" Well she may not have won the show, but everyone knows she deserved to, but destiny has other exciting plans for her. Besides, she doesn't really need to be involved with or idolize someone like KP, who admits to selling her soul to the Devil. Pray for KP!
