Lakisha Jones: A Performance To Whet Your American Idol Appetite

Posted in Masterclass Lady, Music, Rosanne Simunovic, Vocal Masterclass Articles by masterclasslady on February 18th, 2007

Good Sunday everyone:

I am having a very busy day with Church and family obligations, but it is all very good. However, I could not let the day go by without drawing attention to American Idol Season Six Top 24 Finalist, Lakisha Jones. I was so impressed with this young lady during her preliminary and Hollywood auditions. She possesses an absolutely stellar vocal gift and her vocal delivery and her artistic passion are first class.

In the video below, she performs Jennifer Hudson’s multi-award winning hit, “And I Am Telling You” from the musical “Dreamgirls”. Although Jennifer’s performance has more polish and veneer than Lakisha’s, I think this performance, for an undiscovered talent, is excellent. I hope the American voters really support this young lady. She possesses a highly cultivated vocal and stage technique that will, undoubtedly, improve in the weeks ahead.

    While this doesn’t have the same feeling and emotion that Jennifer Hudson’s rendition does, I do think this is a great performance. I was blown away during Lakisha’s initial audition and during Hollywood Week and feel that she’s one of the top contenders for the title this year. She’s easily the best female singer of the bunch (with Melinda a close second). It’ll be a shame if America doesn’t vote her into the Top 12.

    I think that Lakisha did a beautiful job with her vocal performance of “I am Telling You”. Compared to Jennifer I cant tell whos better because she is so wonderful. ( And Jennifer can sing her ass off) Good Job, Lakisha!

    Thank you so much for posting the video of Lakisha!
    For DWTS there is someone who posts all the dance videos.
    Is there anyone who posts all the AI performances on their website for re-viewing?
