Vonzell Solomon was the only contestant who performed consistently throughout the competition. She is one of the very best to have graced the American Idol stage
Kael Moore you’ve never watched Fantasia’s season then. Her “Knock on Wood” & “something about the way you look tonight” performances she looked like she had too much fun
She was vocally my favorite from this season, I would never forget this night. She nailed every note. When Paula stood up, and randy turned his chair. She had it. And the say she served Simon was everything!!!
I always loved Vonzell. She's one of my favorites. Great voice, and really great energy. I always smiled watching her. It's funny how casually Ryan dressed back then!!
I stopped watching AI when she didnt win. This performance was flawless! I downloaded this and still listen to it frequently b/c she is awesome. Still waiting for her record deal!!!!! She ALWAYS chose hard songs and killed em, so why didnt she win again....was it carrie....AI is so predictable. I forgot, they had to pick of a different persuasion that year!!!!!
I stopped watching too, I remember even though I was really young. This performance totally captivated me. Its been over a decade since your comment but I hope you are doing well.
Funnily enough, this is when I got fed up with the show as well. I frequently listen to Vonzell's performances still today. My mom had me make her a CD of all of her performances as well. My parents condo is in Fort Myers, where she's from and they would go to American Idol viewing parties all over the city each week to cheer her on.
awesome performance! love her voice! one of the great black diva voices in american idol!!! other favorites: kimberley locke, jennifer hudson, tamyra gray, la toya london, jordin sparks, melinda doolittle.. after them, there's none unfortunately! :(
I remember watching this live. This was when she proved Simon wrong and went down in idol history as the best underdog ever. Love Vonzell. What a star! Also, Paula is getting her LIFE😂😂
Looking back at 2021: Having witnessed her performances in this season, the way she performed better and better from the audition till the finals, I was surprised to learn that she's the only one not getting a contract from any label from that season! Can you imagine it? She could have been another Whitney, Chaka, Diana, and Dionne, if she was given a chance. What a waste!
she's got music out right now! Dirtbag is her single and her album sould be out soon. You'll love dirtbag i know. and she has her own record label right now, but is thinking abt signing w/ another label. EVERYBODY SUPPORT VONZELL AND BUY HER SINGLE ON ITUNES AND REQUEST IT ON THE RADIO.
wow. i didn't realize how much she sounds like kelly rowland!! but she's sooo much better better better. (kelly is just now starting to get to the vocal level that vonzell was on what...5 YEARS AGO.) if she came out now, she would kill it!! i know she would. i'm waitin' for ya.
When she was voted off that is when I knew the show was rigged. They already had 2 R&B singers. Simon didn't need a third. I never watched Idol or any singing show again.
This was a great performance by Vonzell. She picked some really tough songs (Whitney, Chaka, Deniece Williams) but passed all the tests. She justifiably made final 3 after Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood. Still waiting for her album to come out.
I think that this was one of the most talented seasons!!! I love season 4!!! GO ANTHONY FEDOROV, VONZELL SOLOMON, NADIA TURNER & CARRIE UNDERWOOD!!! =DDD
She does alot of musical side projects, most recently she plays as her hit youtube character "Boonquisha" in the smash youtube musical "Beauty and the Beat" by Todrick Hall (Broadway actor, singer, and also ex Idol contestant). Check her out, she's still got it! :)
@dmanz007 Why couldn't you believe it? She was up against Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood, 2 of the best contestants ever. Season 4 of Idol was my favourite, alot of strong contestants. If Vonzell were in Season 3 or 5 she would have won, she's a fantastic singer.
only Vonzell can nail this song ever in AI history. although kinda pitchy but she really gave justice to it. I loved her that season because of her incredible range
Simon is really judging truly wherein I was amazed in his prediction after Carrie's "Alone" performance that she can sold millions of albums after Idol.
Vonzell Solomon was the only contestant who performed consistently throughout the competition. She is one of the very best to have graced the American Idol stage
this was the ONLY time I EVER voted on that show... and CLEARLY I voted for her!
Smart vote
I voted for her every week
Me too I love Vonzell
I've never seen someone have as much fun as her performing on Idol! I loved her on Idol!
Kael Moore you’ve never watched Fantasia’s season then. Her “Knock on Wood” & “something about the way you look tonight” performances she looked like she had too much fun
She has been one of my favorite contestants. She lights up the stage and performs like she means business.
Vonzell was my absolute favorite that season.. when she got sent home i cried!!
Same.. it should have been down to her and Carrie in the final. She's WAY better than Bo Bice.
I remember the night she sang this very well. Can't believe it was nine years ago!!!
I can't believe it either... I still love this performance to this day!
She was the one I was pulling for that season.
16 years now! Lol
I remember too and it’s 2021, she was so vibrant and captivating.
Now forever ago
She was vocally my favorite from this season, I would never forget this night. She nailed every note. When Paula stood up, and randy turned his chair. She had it. And the say she served Simon was everything!!!
WHY IS SHE NOT A STAR?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My question is the same!!!
ua-cam.com/video/ojbFSARiN14/v-deo.html :)
one of my all time favorite Idol performances!! this brought back so many memories.
I could listen to her all day. Her voice is so pleasant and soulful. Just pure ear candy.
This is when i started loving her!!
Vonzell really have great stage presence and had fun singing this song! It was a complete joy to hear her sing this song.
Vonzell is a damn good singer.. a great voice and stage presence.
one of THE best EVER performances on American Idol
I was obsessed with her vibe and energy. I hate, hate, HATE how they railroaded her into 3rd place.
I always loved Vonzell. She's one of my favorites. Great voice, and really great energy. I always smiled watching her. It's funny how casually Ryan dressed back then!!

She was good, but Bo not winning was more a travesty in my opinion.
one of my favorite performances by her

Favorite all time performance on american idol
Wow. I commented 7 years ago on a performance that I saw about 13 years ago and I’m back again! Lol. Still love the performance and her.
THE WAY SHE AAATE IT
we need her this season
my aunty killed
perfect vocals
she was in my opinion one of the top 5 idol contestants ever, i thought she was easily the best from that season
Did u say she is not all that great of a performer? SHE ALWAYS TEARS UP THE STAGE
Looking back at 2021: Having witnessed her performances in this season, the way she performed better and better from the audition till the finals, I was surprised to learn that she's the only one not getting a contract from any label from that season!

she's got music out right now! Dirtbag is her single and her album sould be out soon. You'll love dirtbag i know. and she has her own record label right now, but is thinking abt signing w/ another label. EVERYBODY SUPPORT VONZELL AND BUY HER SINGLE ON ITUNES AND REQUEST IT ON THE RADIO.
she has a great voice with a pleasing personality to match
From this point Vonzell started nailing, she always knew how to pick good songs that highlight her vocals and make people vote for her.
wow. i didn't realize how much she sounds like kelly rowland!! but she's sooo much better better better. (kelly is just now starting to get to the vocal level that vonzell was on what...5 YEARS AGO.) if she came out now, she would kill it!! i know she would.
i'm waitin' for ya.
So, we're all just going to sit here and pretend she doesn't remind us of Kelly Rowland...
Ink Pen OMG YASSSSSSS I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U 100%
Vonzell is a better performer than Kelly. They so resemble each other physically.
Actress good looks and swagger, can perform live, beautiful voice, she is awesome!
That woman is BEAUTIFUL!!!
In the studio now and has her own record label.
I remember when I was 5 years old, and when she got eliminated, I was so mad XD
the best black idol!!!!!
Band was pretty good too..that bassline...
When she was voted off that is when I knew the show was rigged. They already had 2 R&B singers. Simon didn't need a third. I never watched Idol or any singing show again.
Ate and left no crumbs
right on the money
The best AI season by far. She is awesome!!
Aw I loved her back in those days, this was my favourite season of American idol, mario would've won if he didn't drop out lol
Her best performance
This was a great performance by Vonzell. She picked some really tough songs (Whitney, Chaka, Deniece Williams) but passed all the tests. She justifiably made final 3 after Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood. Still waiting for her album to come out.
She sang the hell out of this yes lawd...
ol' simon was tryin hard to think of somethin mean to say. this kid overwhelmed him tho!!! LOL
yeah...vonzell was really amazing! she makes me chill everytime she perform he song!...im always a fan of yours...but where is vonzell now?

She does alot of musical side projects, most recently she plays as her hit youtube character "Boonquisha" in the smash youtube musical "Beauty and the Beat" by Todrick Hall (Broadway actor, singer, and also ex Idol contestant). Check her out, she's still got it! :)
@MrJfamous i completely agree! they can't seem to find anyone as good or consistent as her.
Trust me she'll make it.
@dmanz007 Why couldn't you believe it? She was up against Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood, 2 of the best contestants ever. Season 4 of Idol was my favourite, alot of strong contestants. If Vonzell were in Season 3 or 5 she would have won, she's a fantastic singer.
yeah!!! I found out after I posted the last comment. Thanks
