I remember watching this with my jaw on the floor she was the absolute epitome of beautiful femininity and such a great God-given voice I was in love with her I still am
@jairus It hadn't happened when I first made that comment, but, yes, they're in now. But, the other Miracles SHOULD have gotten in with Smokey back in 1987. Everyone knows he didn't do it all alone. Thanks.
Doesn't seem strange to you that many of AMERICAN IDOL'S contestants sing songs recorded by THE MIRACLES...YEAR AFTER YEAR, (Shop Around,Ooo Baby Baby, The Tracks Of My Tears, The Tears Of A Clown, etc) yet , after 25 YEARS, THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME REFUSES TO INDUCT THIS LEGENDARY GROUP ?? Think about it.
That was a run-of-the-mill performance. Motown was its own sound.You could guess a Motown song the first time you heard it without looking at the label. Your great soul singers were girls like PP Arnold and Aretha Franklin.
voice wise, LaToya London has it all (vocals, range) except she really has no fighting spirit of winning or she really has boring personality or maybe she's just down to earth. Fantasia was soulfully great but quite exaggerated sometimes. Jennifer was really voted out because she sings like Broadway although she has very big voice. look at this totally robbed contestant ever in AI history. Season's 3 Lisa Leuschner. I believe she would have won that season.
Nika Ledesma Lisa was robbed, but I don't think she had the personality to make it all the way either. If she had landed top 12 she likely would have placed in the middle.
I still watch this performance it made me fall in love with this song
She was the best female singer on Idol ever. She should have been the next young Whitney!!
No way Jennifer is better than her.
This is back when American Idol was worth watching.
She has a beautiful voice!
You and me both 20 years later. I'm still coming back to this. She is so damn fine and sounds so good.
I don't know, all i know is that LaToya is such a brilhant singer, she's a power house, oh lord.
I think she was great...leave her hair alone , she sang beautifully!!!

awesome voice. love this song
damn, she's good! I had no idea. thanx for posting!
She did good, luv it
Women, sing this tune more with feelings than most guys.
I was rooting for her
wow sure dont remember U but that was fantastic
Simon said a "CAT" was on head....too FUNNY!!!!!!
I couldn't agree with you more!!!! It pisses me off too!! This girl should have been the next Whitney (you know when Whitney debuted) Am I right????
Jarret Summers I agree
Exactly, that's like the difference between music of the 60's and the Beatles catalog, one is certainly not totally indicative of the other
Melinda Doolittle has the honored!!
1:16 man

oh man what happened at 0:32?? I think her backing vocals dropped the ball but i'm not sure.
That was a run-of-the-mill performance.

@williamg2552
Smokey was inducted like 25 years ago. the miracles got inducted this year...
She sounds like Beyonce at 1:06. I actually think her whole voice in this song embodies Beyonce's Vocal style and range. But, that's just me.
Her hair had nothing to do with how she rocked that tune🎤 They had their eyes on who they wanted. 👎🏽
They shouldn’t have clowned that girl about her hair. Gosh!
so the top 12 theme was soul. the top 10 was motown. what is the real honest difference?
That was a pretty terrible weave though. lol She sounded great though
Camile beat her this week. Latoya was in the bottom 3 this week & Camile wasn’t.
sboudreaux27 I know. Just saying that Camille wasn’t in the bottom 3 this week. Latoya was.

Jasmine Trias says hi!
I agree latoya great voice but shes putting me to sleep. I can't get past her boringness & if I had to vote I wouldn't vote for her tbh.
Shes good but couldnt get past her being boring & so classical singing according to Simon that season.
