Keep supporting Jena Irene and tell everyone about her because this girl is gonna be huge! I don't own any of the videos. No copyright infringement intended.
I met her last night at the restaurant where I work at the Montreal airport. She was with her mom. When I told her how good I thought she was she looked so surprised and happy that I knew who she was. Both of them were really nice.
The best Idol contestant EVER! as the FULL package. No disrespect to the first half dozen seasons, they just didn't ask as much from them. Only Lambert can come close, but is a distant 2nd due to the fact that Jena tore the house down singing virtually every type of music and nailed them all.
The original reason for Idol was to actually make and Idol. Now it more about entertainment for the audience and NOT about making an Idol. Sure they get record contracts but none have had success like Kelly and Carrie because then it was about pure talent and not just how many different genres they can jam in a season.
I find myself watching this every day , sometimes twice.l was a big fan of Angie Miller in last years idol, but Jena this year has been amazing.l wasnt sure about some of her arrangements early in the series, but the more you listen to them , the more they grow on you.Thaks for this and all the other videos. Looking forward to some new material
What a tremendous talent! And so damn sexy! Her performance of "Can't Help Falling in Love" is not just one of AI's best but one of the all time best ever!
What an amazing voice! I'm absolutely speechless watching her Always on my mind performance. It's the first time I hear her, I hope we will hear much more from her. It would truely be a waste of talent if we don't.
This is awesome, thanks for putting it up! It was hard to watch because I'm still so so upset she didn't win, but it felt good to watch the whole thing and remember why I supported her from beginning to end. She's just so incredible, definitely the best AI contestant they ever had, right up there with Adam Lambert. I just hope she gets the fame she deserves after the show, and doesn't get forgotten about. She really has too much talent to fade away. We need more like her! I wish you'd included the finale performances of her with Hayley from Paramore & singing No Doubt though, because those were really exciting too.
Thanks for putting this all together, i loved her from the beginning! I still look back and listen and now i can just click on this to see all her performances! again thank you so much and I love you Jena Irene! Hoping and waiting to hear and see more of you girl!!!
Thanks so much for this compilation of her many fantastic performances. I enjoyed watching her all over again and was reminded of how much I love her! Can't wait to follow her career. She is a star already and will only get better.
the high school Jena went to was across the street from where I used to live. I remember going to a concert there, she signed my tee shirt and I am still so inspired by her. I check back in ever so often but I don't think she's been putting out much music since 2017. I still think she could be up there with the big stars!!
My mom surprised me with tickets to see American Idol Live in Tulsa for my birthday. When they performed this, my mom looked at me and said "That was the best performance tonight!"
I still think Jena should have won. Not only is she beautiful, but very talented! I still love her. I’m here because I look at todays talent and remembered the BEST!❤
Always loved her rendition of Valerie, along with almost every other thing she sang that season. Her EP is awesome...can't wait for the album coming out soon!
Oh yeah! SHE is the one who did Valerie! NOW I remember her. I was definitely upset when Caleb won and she did not. She was unique and current while Caleb was, basically, an anachronism.
Jena was so good and should have won. These 3 were my favorite judges - together, they made the show more interesting and had 3 very different approaches to judging that simply worked well. I never watched again after them.
Such a great throwback, loved watching this.. her voice is insane she can sing anything.. I think she should’ve won also but come on guys u can’t deny Caleb’s talent either!!
Jena all I can say is I totally enjoyed watching you through all year songs you did with American Idol got to go see you when the American Idol Top 10 with a concert at Mount Pleasant Michigan at the casino and you brought a lot of joy to my wife and I really enjoy you Thank You Jena
Yes it was awesome. Nice to stumble across this. I hope she's still going strong. I'm not much for keeping up with all of these kids, but I do enjoy most of their performances. Thanks for posting this. I was hoping for her to win, but Caleb was pretty darn good as well.
Haven't watched idol since. She was my pick early. Also when Christina Grimmie didn't win Xfactor and should have , never watched again. Both of these ladies are amazing. God bless, Grimmie I miss her so much!!
Yeah this is an old video but i just have to say that i am amazed how far she has grown, i went to the same music school as her and I looked up to her and her band and it was great to see her here
I have one of her bands old posters still hanging above my drumset lol the color has faded so much that it is almost white in parts, and the bands drummer is now an instructor at the school
When is her record label going to get her out there with her new album. I worry about these record labels they kind always try to change them. Look what happen to Caleb love his singing all the covers then they got a hold of him and change his style. just my opinion. I love Jena style and voice and arrangements she is so refreshing. I hope she doesn't fade away on us she deserve's stardom more than beyonce or Mahrira sorry can't spell great :-) Im 73 so can I get a pass for spelling!
JLO has the boys for Jena Irene had the entire season JLO never takes her eye's off Jena when she is singing never seen her do that with anyone before 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jenna should've won not Caleb. Jena was so much better. Caleb was nothing more then a 80's rock stuck and did't do any thing else. Jena did everything but made it her own. Caleb tried to be something he is not. I think he got the sympathy vote.
i dunno about all that. she was great, and they were neck to neck in my opinion. but his faithfully and dream on were so damn on point that its hard for anyone to deny that this kid can very much sing and has a shitton of talent. singing 80s rock is not easy for anyone to do, especially with REAL vibrato. they were very very evenly matched
I loved her on Idol. Now I'm watching this in late 2021 and wondering what happened to her? Her Wikipedia entry says nothing new since 2017. Did she stop making music??
Dayuum Jena call me! I hit you up on FB but u haven't even checked it. Trying to check on ya girl! Also got some opportunities that you might be interested in!!
im not exactly sure why everyone is giving caleb so much crap??? he is a phenomenal vocalist and knows who he is. if theres one thing you can observe from idol its that it really doesnt matter who wins, jennifer hudson came in 7th. jena and caleb both did amazing that season, it was probably very close. but i dont think caleb deserves all this hate and junk because he's not terrible
That’s not always true. Dalton Rapattoni, Makenzie Boug, Clark Beckham, Angie Miller, Jax, Jena Irene, and La’Porsha Renae who all recent runner-ups who were predicted to be huge successful stars even though they didn’t win, and where are they now?
she should have won
I met her last night at the restaurant where I work at the Montreal airport. She was with her mom. When I told her how good I thought she was she looked so surprised and happy that I knew who she was. Both of them were really nice.
OOOO no wonder you met her at the Montreal Airport... she said in her audition that her mom is French Canadian / maybe Quebecois?
The best Idol contestant EVER! as the FULL package. No disrespect to the first half dozen seasons, they just didn't ask as much from them. Only Lambert can come close, but is a distant 2nd due to the fact that Jena tore the house down singing virtually every type of music and nailed them all.
+Shane Soper Oh! funny how the 2 best both finished 2nd. Come on America! really!

Best female singer on either ai or agt...or any gt.....Adam lambert best male
I don't think she is the best ever but one of the most fun singers i will say
Hey voice is ELECTRIC. I can't beleive she didn't win.
Thanks for putting this together; it's like I just watched a Jena Irene concert!
Jena is amazing. She should have been the winner!
Caleb and jena's duets are everything...
Her evolution tru out this competition is unbelievable
I am so happy that she just signed with a record label. We love you Jena !!!!! Best of Luck. You have a natural born talent.
Yea so they fucked her over..
she has an amazing talent she even can harmonize well toning her powerhouse voice down to match Alex. She blows me away
I find myself watching this every day , sometimes twice.l was a big fan of Angie Miller in last years idol, but Jena this year has been amazing.l wasnt sure about some of her arrangements early in the series, but the more you listen to them , the more they grow on you.Thaks for this and all the other videos.

What a tremendous talent! And so damn sexy! Her performance of "Can't Help Falling in Love" is not just one of AI's best but one of the all time best ever!
Did she change her last name?
kathrynIS Here full name is Jena Irene Asciutto. She just drops the last name for her singing career.
oh
I love when she’s on the piano the magic between her and that piano and unique voice the best of all idol to me
What an amazing voice! I'm absolutely speechless watching her Always on my mind performance.
It's the first time I hear her, I hope we will hear much more from her. It would truely be a waste of talent if we don't.

I really was going to include those but the video was getting soooo long that my laptop kept crashig lol but I agree with everything you said! :)
BriarRose she likes smaller shows
I like the Caleb and Jena duets. They were both in the finale.
Thanks for putting this all together, i loved her from the beginning! I still look back and listen and now i can just click on this to see all her performances! again thank you so much and I love you Jena Irene! Hoping and waiting to hear and see more of you girl!!!
Jena got robbed! She def should have won!
Craig Fritchey
EXACTLY
Thanks so much for this compilation of her many fantastic performances. I enjoyed watching her all over again and was reminded of how much I love her! Can't wait to follow her career. She is a star already and will only get better.
I love how amazing she is, I wish she had a new hit, and damn that girl can belt
My favorite IDOL........was reviewing some of her songs......just love her..
Goose bumpers on many of these songs. That's just amazing.
I think this young lady is a star! I love "We Are One"; she's so charismatic:-)
The last memorable contestant of
This series. Most of the top 12 sucked on this season but I remember her.
She was my favorite performer in IDOL in every year. Amazing
She nailed every song! She's very2 good, though I am just catching up with this episode with this pandemic period. I wonder why she did not win...
the high school Jena went to was across the street from where I used to live. I remember going to a concert there, she signed my tee shirt and I am still so inspired by her. I check back in ever so often but I don't think she's been putting out much music since 2017. I still think she could be up there with the big stars!!

Oh yeah! SHE is the one who did Valerie! NOW I remember her. I was definitely upset when Caleb won and she did not. She was unique and current while Caleb was, basically, an anachronism.
i stopped watching the show a long time ago but im glad i found this. :3 she is amazing. awesome compilation u made
Jena was so good and should have won. These 3 were my favorite judges - together, they made the show more interesting and had 3 very different approaches to judging that simply worked well. I never watched again after them.
Honestly, how did she not win..
Daniel Thompson because American Idol has been deaf for 7 years , ether that or the thing that processes votes is busted
Such a great throwback, loved watching this.. her voice is insane she can sing anything.. I think she should’ve won also but come on guys u can’t deny Caleb’s talent either!!
Bravo, Jena! Thank you, Angie. This compilation is a treasure.
Jena all I can say is I totally enjoyed watching you through all year songs you did with American Idol got to go see you when the American Idol Top 10 with a concert at Mount Pleasant Michigan at the casino and you brought a lot of joy to my wife and I really enjoy you Thank You Jena
jena you are just a awesome vocalist..
She had the better winner single and was more commercial. I can't believe she didn't win.
Yes it was awesome. Nice to stumble across this. I hope she's still going strong. I'm not much for keeping up with all of these kids, but I do enjoy most of their performances. Thanks for posting this. I was hoping for her to win, but Caleb was pretty darn good as well.
Best contestant ever!
I sure hope she got a record deal...representing Michigan right here!!! Love her.
Fantastic, Loved it, watched it all, Thanks for putting it together.
Thanks so much. Love her!
Thank You!!! For making this
Haven't watched idol since. She was my pick early. Also when Christina Grimmie didn't win Xfactor and should have
, never watched again. Both of these ladies are amazing. God bless, Grimmie I miss her so much!!
You could really see her evolution here, you know. It's so apparent, like starting from Decode, I think. Love love Jena.
One of my favorite contestants - really up there w the great greats from AI
Yeah this is an old video but i just have to say that i am amazed how far she has grown, i went to the same music school as her and I looked up to her and her band and it was great to see her here
I have one of her bands old posters still hanging above my drumset lol the color has faded so much that it is almost white in parts, and the bands drummer is now an instructor at the school
ジーナは選曲がだんだん良くなってきた。実力派ですね。
さらにどんどん美しくもなってます。
このシーズンではＮＯ１だと思ってます。
Love her and Haley Reinhart
Im ready for some more Jena Irene awesomness
Thank u soo much!!
Im still mad ,she should had won!
She was great !
Anyone watching this 10 years later?? Or just me 😂
love u Jena....
She & Alex should’ve been the top 2 of their season. Caleb wouldn’t have won if Simon and the OG judges were here
Alex had the stage presence of a mop.
J-Lo "FUUUCKK!!!!" during Can't Help Falling in Love With You! HAHAHA YES!!!!!!!!!
When is her record label going to get her out there with her new album. I worry about these record labels they kind always try to change them. Look what happen to Caleb love his singing all the covers then they got a hold of him and change his style. just my opinion. I love Jena style and voice and arrangements she is so refreshing. I hope she doesn't fade away on us she deserve's stardom more than beyonce or Mahrira sorry can't spell great :-) Im 73 so can I get a pass for spelling!
8:00 says it all. Stars in awe as in fact, was I.
45:17 is everything
That's my fav
Really good!
loved Jena. Her voice gives me chills. Where is she? Would love to hear more original music!
StampingJenny look her up on Facebook she tours
I miss her talent
waooowww.......indonesia love jeena
A concert I’d love to see
Just unbelievable
I loved Jena during her season but I don't remember a lot of those performances. I ended up buying a lot of them while watching this! Lol.
Buy her album. It is so good!!
No one understands how fucking hard it is to play piano and sing god it's so hard
I wish Jena and Adam Lambert had a duet for the finale , such a missed opportunity it would’ve been epic
No one on the 2022 season compares even close to her
I wish she had performed in the finale this year
I wonder why she didn't
特にＣＲＥＥＰは最高！ 弟もいつもかわいい！！
Imagine what this season would’ve been if she wasn’t on it?
Sorry I misspelled awesomeness in the previous post
JLO has the boys for Jena Irene had the entire season JLO never takes her eye's off Jena when she is singing never seen her do that with anyone before 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Her jessica meuse & majesty rose should have been the real top 3 that season with her & jessica as the top 2
Emily Piriz was good as well, just bad song choices
Far and away best female singer on idol...or at for that matter...same for Adam lambert
She should have won
26:35 Gimme Shelter #1
Performance of the season tbh 💁
jena made queer history in 2014 singing rolling in the deep i know i was there
She was Demi Lovato before Demi was.
Stunning talent!!
Demi was around when this season aired lol. She got compared to her at times.
Jenna should've won not Caleb. Jena was so much better. Caleb was nothing more then a 80's rock stuck and did't do any thing else. Jena did everything but made it her own. Caleb tried to be something he is not. I think he got the sympathy vote.
i dunno about all that. she was great, and they were neck to neck in my opinion. but his faithfully and dream on were so damn on point that its hard for anyone to deny that this kid can very much sing and has a shitton of talent. singing 80s rock is not easy for anyone to do, especially with REAL vibrato. they were very very evenly matched
What is the second song called?
W
Most definitely better than Caleb!!
Can anyone tell me what note 28:14 and 28:20. Sounded like an F5 to me, but I dont have reliable ears. Lol
or an E5? OMG. xD
I loved her on Idol. Now I'm watching this in late 2021 and wondering what happened to her? Her Wikipedia entry says nothing new since 2017. Did she stop making music??
Good question… found her on Spotify yesterday
Not sure but hope she’s well. It’s so hard to break into the industry through Idol.
someone tell me what's song at 4:32~5:10.
Is it Jena's original song?
yes
i-qle57 Yes, it's an original song by Jena called Unbreakable Me. I love it! She's so talented!
Her & that song were the best part of AI EVER.
Jena, Jessica and Haley were all fucking robbed
I always thought she sounded like a mixture of Haley from Paramore and Demi
Dayuum Jena call me! I hit you up on FB but u haven't even checked it. Trying to check on ya girl! Also got some opportunities that you might be interested in!!
Jena is in 2nd place.
SHE DID VIDEO GAMES
??
Hey
All im hearing is Haley Williams
Heyley William + demi Lovato
I was so mad she didn’t win man that Carl or whatever his name is had nothing on her tf
im not exactly sure why everyone is giving caleb so much crap??? he is a phenomenal vocalist and knows who he is. if theres one thing you can observe from idol its that it really doesnt matter who wins, jennifer hudson came in 7th. jena and caleb both did amazing that season, it was probably very close. but i dont think caleb deserves all this hate and junk because he's not terrible
Doesn't it seem like all the AI winners fall off the face of the Earth? Where are they? Most of the runner ups are the ones with contracts
That’s not always true. Dalton Rapattoni, Makenzie Boug, Clark Beckham, Angie Miller, Jax, Jena Irene, and La’Porsha Renae who all recent runner-ups who were predicted to be huge successful stars even though they didn’t win, and where are they now?
This girl wasn’t successful
Jena was a runner up and no idea what she's doing now.
i can see Alessia Cara from her. whyy?!
