Loved him then. Love him now all these years later. He has made a successful career with his beautiful voice and soul. I wish he was a household name and a Grammy winner!
I feel like a lot of people are not remembering/realizing this was actually the first time this song was performed. It was written specifically for the Season 1 finale and both Justin and Kelly performed it, before it was the mega hit we all know now. And as I said he actually performed if first. So to say he ruined it or it's not a moment like this, yadda yadda, is silly
Zechariah Cameron Oh absolutely, she made this song and this song made her, but to be so insulting towards him and to act like he butchered something that had never even been heard by the general public (at that time) is unfair, lol.
Anyone who thinks Justin ruined this song has their head up their you know...I may be biased because Justin is a good friend of mine from Junior and High school but he really is the nice guy he showed on the show...a lot of people think it was an act but that is the real Justin
I didn't like Justin because I was a Kelly fan, but I don't think he should have been just thrown away like he was. He's very talented. I think he could make a comeback. I mean, he's part of pop culture history forever. I hope he does.
He has a very successful Broadway career. Plus, he's iconic as the Dr. Pepper Guy. Although, I didn't recognize him right away, I knew the Voice was familiar.
Kelly didn't want this song. Its more of a Celine Dion meets Whitney Houston song. Never knew her distain for this masterful song. Until recently. She did such a great job with it. She said it wasn't the direction she wanted to go musicially . Afraid people would think she just wanted to do ballads and labeled as such. After hearing her tale on it , maybe it wasn't meant for her but for someone like a Celine Dion Whitney esque. Although to me she is perfect with it but I hear critically what Kelly hears. With the high notes . For me personally , I think she did a bang up job with it, however its not a song for everyone._Kelly herself lol
I'm watching I Believe singing by Diana DeGarmo, This Is My Now by Blake Lewis and this Jason's performance and it seems always the song was made for the winner and the other contestant got no opportunity at all.
Is that really the singer who was up against Kelly for the finals? He's obviously a good singer but she's in a completely different league. Now I'm wondering about the other singers in the first season of the show, honestly. Unless it's just because the song doesn't fit his voice well, I haven't seen him sing other stuff.
Somethings telling me that if they picked a song that both were good at singing, he wouldve had a greater chance of winning. This song was made for kelly clarkson.
...Yet Clarkson has done other songs that are not written and written for her, that are high and screamy. So I don't really understand the hate she feels for this song, its like one ballad. Its developed more of a following through the years I think. Mainly due to her being versitile perhaps.
yeah I remember the top 4 recorded it so that the recording of the winner could be released immediately so people could buy the single. Three of the top four were female.
This song was made for a soprano's voice. That's why he don't sound good singing it. He is still a great singer though. They should have wrote a different song for him so that he could have had a better shot at winning.
DeAndre' Flyboi Gamer I like to agree with you..and you just may be right musickly. But he could have done better..he did good enough to compete with her he just was too relaxed in the begining!!!!!
2002: I wanted Justin to win, I thought he was so hot ,when I was younger. I never voted. At the time I was young and too intemidated to do it ,which its nothing to do. Lol I never knew Kelly much when idol was on. She didn't impresss me. Saw very few performances and idol in general. Her last night performance of this song was OK and a moment for me at the time. I was bummed Justin or the hot guy didn't win. Later I got the CD compilation with all the idols or top 10 singing(greatest moments ) from Kmart I think. In the store, I was like , I bet thats that girl and that song and that show from the other night ... I thought idol would have one winner. Didn't understand the premise , that it would keep coming back year after years. But when I heard that album with her recording of "a moment like this", just was at a loss for words. I could hear what America heard. I'm glad it wasn't up to me. And even Justin said the right one won. Her without you results show performance was.....it was something come to find out years later with the DVD.
I love his voice. I just don’t like his version of this song at all. I think compare to Kelly she is so much better. I think it is perfect for her voice. I loved how he did the last part at the end. I just think Kelly had to win when you compare both performances.
I still can't believe Kelly won. His version was so much better on all levels. Better vocals, more emotion and nailed every note. Justin is the best American Idol by far.
Justin is really talented!!!! Even though he lost to Kelly, still had a successful music career of his own and now wowing Broadway!!!!

true, but it seems like this song specifically fit her then that's easy to say now
Zechariah Cameron Oh absolutely, she made this song and this song made her, but to be so insulting towards him and to act like he butchered something that had never even been heard by the general public (at that time) is unfair, lol.
Actually she performed it first. I'm re-watching the season now. We were robbed of more Tamyra performances.. :(
Anyone who thinks Justin ruined this song has their head up their you know...I may be biased because Justin is a good friend of mine from Junior and High school but he really is the nice guy he showed on the show...a lot of people think it was an act but that is the real Justin
sboudreaux27 oh yeah, he did that with Carrie and Bo
Justin had no chance of winning after Kelly sang a Moment Like This. She slayed it!!
slew
Exactly like Fantasia and Diana, along with Jordin and Blake.
After watching this again, years later, I now see why Kelly won. This song wasn't made for his range.
I wish his studio version was released or leaked by now.. make it happen 🙏🏼
Now I understand why Kelly’s version won. The song was written for Kelly’s range and NOT Justin
Yep. Justin even said as much in a recent interview.
Did they both have to sing this same song as the finale??!
@@AshleysActivism Yes.
Justin stinks
@@AshleysActivismYes, the two finalists sing the single that was written for the winner to release, as their first single.
I feel like "A Moment Like This" was made more for Kelly and "Before Your Love" was made more for Justin.
I think the 2 were both written for a female artists it’s been said . I believe .
I didn't like Justin because I was a Kelly fan, but I don't think he should have been just thrown away like he was. He's very talented. I think he could make a comeback. I mean, he's part of pop culture history forever. I hope he does.
He’s the Dr Pepper guy lol
He has a very successful Broadway career. Plus, he's iconic as the Dr. Pepper Guy. Although, I didn't recognize him right away, I knew the Voice was familiar.

This definitely fit Kelly’s voice more, but he did a good job with it nonetheless.
Justin and Kelly where the best that season I loved Kelly I wanted her to win I love this song from American idol Justin’s voice is still great.
@KeyAmino That's because Kelly has a kick-ass voice. Every song is made for Kelly Clarkson =)
I really wish I could've heard Tamyra perform this...
Same here!
he really tried to push......but in his voice u can tell he wasnt too happy
He was sick. But it still wasn't a good fit vocally for his range.
I'm watching I Believe singing by Diana DeGarmo, This Is My Now by Blake Lewis and this Jason's performance and it seems always the song was made for the winner and the other contestant got no opportunity at all.
here is when he lost, and now kelly is the graters winner of idol,, a super worlwide star...
Love the 480p...
230q
that's being generous lol

You can hear him straining at the last chorus. This song does not suit his voice.

4:37 Lol my dad and I will never forget Justin’s dad and his gesticulating.
Lil Sweet!
Kelly is the best,, performances for this song
He tried his best. The song was more written for a female vocalist.
yeah I remember the top 4 recorded it so that the recording of the winner could be released immediately so people could buy the single. Three of the top four were female.

Eh they did play it at a different key for each of them, which would have been enough if he had a range anywhere close to Kelly's.

Shoulda dropped the key for him
He sang it beautifully it’s just that Kelly did better with this song.
This Was so not a moment like this 😂
@lufflyness Haha she's a really great singer!
sycho bob 😂😂 jk i really thought he was going to win
I love his voice. I just don’t like his version of this song at all. I think compare to Kelly she is so much better. I think it is perfect for her voice. I loved how he did the last part at the end. I just think Kelly had to win when you compare both performances.
Proof that sometimes the second version is better than the original
It's an interesting take. But it's obviously a Kelly song
this song doesn't suits him I like his version Get Here
the key should have been lowered for him
Kelly Clarkson version made her the winner that night over Justin. Kellys voice suited better for the song.
I don't know how this guy made it as far as he did in this competition. There was much much better singers than him.
was he the first one to perform?
It’s for Kelly only..
They should have given him a different song.
Unfortunately, he lost the competition on this song.
Guarini then sounds better than the shit on xfactor today 2013
he would have won if this song was made for him and not kelly
He’s good but Kelly was and is amazing. She was the clear winner way before this song
his version has 6,000 views and kelly clarkson's has over a million l m f a o #theshade
Lol, you're comparing some random unknown channel's crappy upload to a successful performers official channel? /eyeroll
Either way her video would still get more views because she's Kelly Clarkson and she won the show singing this song...
Am I the only who thinks Justin butchered the song tht was sti.nk
I think this song only suits with Kelly, not him,,btw we can noticed that he has a good vocal ability..
wow sorry he destroyed the song .... hollow..... but he is v talented ....
You realize this was the first ever performance of the song?
So pitchy. So bad. How was he a finalist again?
I had no idea he had to sing this too until Kelly’s interview with Andy Cohen. There is a reason Kelly won. His version is worse than Kelly’s.
I prefer this version over kelly's
Wow he cant sing, can he ?
OMG. He is terrible.
No he isn't. This song sucked for him is all. He is a great soul singer.
Nova BigStar you’re right. It was fit for Kelly like “Inside Your Heaven” was fit for Carrie Underwood.
I still can't believe Kelly won. His version was so much better on all levels. Better vocals, more emotion and nailed every note. Justin is the best American Idol by far.
Mwil:
I had a gay crush on him. Other than that , Justin was forgettable. He has the looks down.
Lol I can’t believe u came up with this shit. Hahaha
