Good thing he didn't win, the winners get locked into contracts and don't get much musical freedom. With exceptions like Carrie underwood, the winners usually don't go on to do much
I don't know 'bout ya'll but for me I think this performance is one of his most genuine performance. With just the way on how he turned Coldplay's song into something that I've never felt before.
Agree!!! Hope you’re continuing to follow Alejandro’s career. He using his stage name: Scarypoolparty on everything. He’s releasing a 21 song double album next month and several songs are with an orchestra. It’s going to be epic! It’s rumored to have Blesser on it. 🤞 He’s already released two songs from it plus tons of other music he’s released since Idol. Scarypoolparty rocks
of? corporate slavery? being herded around? working for very little money? No sir, they knew they couldn't own him so they let him go....He'll be fine sir...
He's too good for American Idol. He's humble, shy, socially awkward... but someone who is who he is, genuine & won't be easily manipulated to be the "pop star" someone else wants him to be.
We would have never discovered his genius. The music he's produced since the show probably would not meet the parameters of the kind of music they want. This guy is a music genius and he is producing HIS music, not pop but a combination of so many flavors all wrapped up into one piece of music in many cases.
It was solidified that he would be the American Idol after this performance. One of the best performance in the history of American Idol no doubt. Perfection in tone, technique, lyricism, and delivery.
It's been 4 years and yet I can't forget all of his performance and keep watching it whenever I feel downed on myself... Thank you for lifting me up through your performance man
Iv never seen a Hispanic win American idol, wonder why that is.🤔 And the guy that did win American idol 2019 just sucked,👎he was no good at all compared to Alejandro.
@@SolidSnake.1 I feel you, but trust me when I say Alejandro is glad he didn’t win. He negotiated a very nice contract with Hollywood records so he has the creative control. He’s released a full album and two EPs and some additional singles. The music he released is in every genre because he just loves all styles of music. He is currently working on another album and released a new single last week. He’s been touring (except 2020 which got canceled due to Covid grrr) since right Idol ended. I saw him live 4 times in 2019. If anyone yelled out about how he should have won, he always puts a stop to it and says it wasn’t about winning. He’s doing an intimate acoustic tour right now and I’m seeing him 6/13 for two shows in Nashville and 6/14 for one show in Memphis. He’s scheduled for some festivals and will probably announce another tour very soon. He had a European tour scheduled for 2020, but it was cancelled due to Covid and rescheduled for 2022 along with the Mad Cool festival in Spain. Follow him on everything under “Scarypoolparty” which is his stage name. The actual “winner” has only put out 3 singles in the last two years. No album. He is doing some touring and still has a nice fan base.
This version of Yellow is so much better than the original. This one that Alejandro sings just kills me. I want to cry uncontrollably. At 1:54 when he really strums that guitar, that right there is enough to make me fall apart.
Dude i know exactly what you’re talking about. The original song is not even meant for an emotional connection, but he changed the way i intake the song entirely
I love watching Alejandro get this kind of support, and it makes me sad that he never got it before. He deserves all the compliments he gets. He's incredible.
I waited two hours and watched my TV until this guy came on just to hear what he would sing nonetheless another great inspirational week!!! cheers my friend, cheers
talent recognizes talent, they know how special he was, they knew it the moment he arranged post malone's song. they were probably so bored for years being in the show up until this guy came up.
Was that his mom blessing him? She gifted the world of Music an absolute genius! Its the 5th month of 2021 and I am still cheering "Homie, Homie". Alejandro has a big salute from this part of the Atlantic
@@johnnegrete9329 ah yea I guessed it wrong. Thanks for correcting me, man. I watched the whole episode n realized she was a spiritual healer who had come to bless all contestants.
I go days and days investigating world happenings. Stressing about all the shenanigans humans are up to across this plain of existence. Then, I take a break and go a day or more listening to everything Alejandro has created and I Re-Ground. Thank all that is Holy that he is here to remind us to appreciate that we are living in the most incredible time in thousands of years and we must slow down and appreciate our lives and each other. Much love to Alejandro and my fellow man!
Totally get it! Alejandro aka Scarypoolparty music always puts me in a better place! I hope you follow him on everything. It’s always under his stage name “Scarypoolparty” I saw him 4 times in 2019. 2020 tours and festivals cancelled due to Covid. I’m seeing him 3 times this month. He’s doing a small acoustic tour which started in AZ a few days ago. He’s released 1 album, 2 EPs and is working on another album now. He released a single “Friends” Friday which will be on his new upcoming album.
It’s amazing how within his time constraint was able to create this massive layer of tension and release within that song that wasn’t there in Coldplay’s original version, truly genius
I just watched this again after seeing his new video cover. Both are incredible, but this one stands at the very top for me...unrivaled, genuine, flawless...indelibly haunting to the last note. And when he smiles at the 2:00 mark, I just melt all over again. There's absolutely nothing those judges could have said that would have done this justice.
The instrumental rendition here is just subliminal. The way his acoustic guitar effortlessly feeds into that crisp bass guitar..my God. What beauty!.what joy!
All of his tours and festivals were cancelled in 2020. Grrr He’s currently doing an intimate acoustic tour for June. I’ll see him in Nashville and Memphis next Sunday and Monday. Saw him 4 times in 2019 and he never disappoints. Hope you are following him on his social media and/or music platforms. It’s always under his stage name “Scarypoolparty” He’s released a lot of music since Idol.
Yellow is my favorite color and song by Coldplay. Imagine how conflicted I was listening to this and saying: “Oh shite, I think I love this cover a wee bit more!"😱🥰🌟❤️
His reactions when Katy is speaking tells everything. In his mind it's a "no" because he's pushing himself for so much greatness that he didn't feel he was already there yet. To us, he was already legendary! So looking forward to all his genius will create in my lifetime.
I'm still here too. He had other opportunities is the reason he left Idol. I live in California and eventually will see him in concert. Saving money to see him. What a talent.
He didn’t leave, but came in 2nd which was the best thing for him. He negotiated a contract with Hollywood Records that gave him creative control. You do know he goes my his stage name on social media and music platforms right? “Scarypoolparty” I live on the East Coast and I saw him 4 times in 2019. The ticket prices were only about $25 -$35. Of course, much more for a festival. I had tickets for 2020, but everything was cancelled due to Covid. He’s currently doing a short and intimate acoustic tour. I will be seeing him next Sunday and Monday in Nashville and Memphis. The tickets are not expensive. Make sure you are following him under Scarypoolparty because he has a lot of music he’s released since Idol ended and that’s a great way to get info about upcoming tours and festivals.
The most musically talented man walking on earth and the world passes hm by. What’s wrong with this world? He is in a category all on his own. He is AMAZING
and NOW he just released the Act of Forgiveness a 21 song album!!! AND IT IS INSANEEEEE!!! The world needs to hear this album! He goes by Scarypoolparty FYI :)
Still listening and loving Alejandro's music, this was one of his best on Idol, the dude can't sing a bad song and that's not to mention how awesome his guitar skills are.
😢 raw and sincere almost simple yet so full of feelings. Alejandro,(Scarypoolparty as an artist) grabs your soul, melts the pain and fills your heart with peace and hope. 🤷♀️ that’s a unique gift. ☮️ I hope Alejandro/Scarypoolparty music touches your soul and inspires you. 🙏
Alejandro is MAGIC. And his version of a yellow, unbelievable.. his ability to put together chords and compliment his guitar with his soft spoken angelic voice is just unmatched. I’m in love with this guy. It’s rare to bring me to tears with just a song. But his style does. Just imagine being there live to witness that magic with the one you wanna spend your life with. A real moment ❤️💔
I love how much tension there is in the verses of his version. When he finally sings the chorus, it's like all that tension just releases so beautifully.
He’s releasing a full version vid on his UA-cam channel Friday 3/18. Be sure to check it out. He uses his stage name on all social and music platforms…under Scarypoolparty
Good lord I need this on spotify asap....how he is able to cover a song and make all his own like he did with Fall Apart just blows my damn mind...uuuuughhhhhh that finger picking style though...learning a new style is like unlearning to walk and learning to walk a different way :(
Wanted to let you know Alejandro (stage name Scarypoolparty) is dropping a full-length vid of Cold Play’s “Yellow” on his UA-cam channel Friday 3/18. Be sure to check it out. He uses his stage name for his channel and all social media and music platforms. “Scarypoolparty”
This song Yellow is so hauntingly special & beautiful. A cover song done so beautifully, so differently & is still the same song, done his way perfectly.
In case you didn’t know, he uses his stage name on all social media and music platforms. He has lots of music and tour and festival dates. It’s always under “Scarypoolparty”
True comment and I hope and pray Alejandro Aranda reads what I’m about to type. I’ve never heard the song “Yellow" by Coldplay so after hearing your version last night I thought I would give a listen to Coldplays original song. Your version my friend put Coldplays to shame. Your talent is so unique I’m hoping you win it all ! You are the only reason I’m watching AI this year. Best of luck and God Bless.
@@AR-ye4rf I agree 100% with you. It's easy to hear someone do a cover of a song and say they like it better but Coldplay wrote the song, created it, and has made millions on it. Shoot Phillip Phillips performed like this dude every week. This guy is really talented but to say it puts Coldplay to Shame is just silly. This version would never have the impact the original did. Dude has a long long long long way to go to write anything close to what yellow was. He should win the show though and he will make some money for sure. Won't sell out every stadium in 30 minutes like Coldplay does every time.
Alejandro doesn't like to do covers but he definitely needs to include this song and "No Woman No Cry" on his first CD. Excellent job with both songs. Love him!

Should have won and did win in my book. This young fellow was easily an artist already and perhaps to savant level on how he plays that guitar. Around 1:50 of this video he does a dance on the strings and frets that is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard anyone do with an instrument in a pop song.
I hope you are still following his journey. Everything is under his stage name: Scarypoolparty He’s releasing a 21 song double album next month with many of the songs having an orchestra!! So excited. He’s already released so much new music! It’s crazy how unbelievably talented one person can be. Would love to have full studio recordings of Yellow, Fall Apart and No Woman No Cry, but it’s highly unlikely because he doesn’t like to do covers. Seen him 4 times live and he’s amazing. Excited for his Fall tour with X Ambassadors.
@@smg3253 I highly doubt that in the history of American Idol there was ever anyone who wowed the judges as he did in his audition. He made history with his originals throughout the competition and although small lamentation about his not winning > he was probably better off not winning and getting locked into their contract.
@@larrybruin7303 He didn’t want to win. He didn’t want the “Idol” contract. There’s no longer a 1 mill prize. The contract isn’t for 10 years so that better. The money you do get is more of an advance until your album is released. Ale negotiated is own contract with Hollywood Records to have complete creative control and no one owns his song. The actual winner, Laine Hardy, has only released 4 songs (including Flame) in 2 years! He is being promoted more by Hollywood Records. He’s country so there’s a very large base of country music fans in the US. He had to do some Disney promotions and had to perform on The Bachelorette show last week and those are the kinds of things Alejandro would never want to do. During the time Laine released 4 singles, AA released 1 LP, 2 EPs and various singles. Now he’s about to do the 21 song double album!! Not even the most well known artists would have the catalog of music that this young man has created in just a couple of years. It’s crazy!
What a beautiful person and SO extremely talented. Love his amazing voice, guitar, smile ... and his unwarranted humility. Don't ever change. No need to.
Im still here, jan 2021. This was the best season there ever was because of this man
Yes yes and yes!!!!
Yesss
Yes it was
Me too. March 2021
Well said man!
Honestly I don't even remember who won American Idol 2019. All I remember is Alejandro. A Gift can never be denied. 💫
me neither, but i read he got robbed. american idol is a joke anywayz. they dont appreciate true artist.
Laine hardy, who was also a really good artist. Just not a patch on this kid
Yaas!!!
Good thing he didn't win, the winners get locked into contracts and don't get much musical freedom. With exceptions like Carrie underwood, the winners usually don't go on to do much
It was that cute young guy with a southern accent - he was good, but no one compares to Alejandro!
Best cover of Yellow EVER. Goosebumps every time.
💯
I don't know 'bout ya'll but for me I think this performance is one of his most genuine performance. With just the way on how he turned Coldplay's song into something that I've never felt before.
I 100 perfect agree with you!!
He should have won it all this song and post malone’s cover excellent !!
Funny how years later I still you tube this damn video , he's money bags for surzey
Best cover ever... better than the original for real
One of the best performances in American Idol history.
easily. Alejandro not winning was the biggest robbery in American Idol history.
Yea he has like 4 of the top 10 idol performances
My reaction to 90% of his idol performances.
This is what you call a “performance.” Where you captivate the audience and they forget where they’re at.
This is the gold standard for covering a Coldplay song. So beautiful, exquisite, and moving.
Still giving me chills in 2022. What an arrangement.
Glad im not the only one still revisiting this masterpiece of a performance
2023
He was and is the greatest talent to ever grace the idol stages! No one compares

It must be surreal to have Coldplay cover your song.
His voice can move mountains and change lives, moments, hearts.
Unreal. Teared up to this
Still coming back to hear Alejandro ❤ just loved the way he played and how he made wry song his own.
Sorry meant to say every song his own
Come back again hahahahaahah
I still come back to this cover randomly cuz it’s just so good! -2024
Coldplay is my favorite band and this is my favorite cover of any of their songs. Kudos for making it your own.

Still listening and loving Alejandro's music, this was one of his best on Idol, the dude can't sing a bad song and that's not to mention how awesome his guitar skills are.
Best original artist on Idol ever!!! Should’ve won, hands down!
Alejandro is a four-course, Chasen's steak dinner. Hardy is the resulting post-dinner STOOL.
Agree but it’s always been a singing/karaoke contest and not a musician contest. He inspired more than any winner
other contestants don't realize that Alejandro was so good because he conducted the band as well that's why it was "his" show
😢 raw and sincere almost simple yet so full of feelings. Alejandro,(Scarypoolparty as an artist) grabs your soul, melts the pain and fills your heart with peace and hope. 🤷♀️ that’s a unique gift. ☮️ I hope Alejandro/Scarypoolparty music touches your soul and inspires you. 🙏

2022 and I love how my brain just randomly sung it to me and here I am loving it all over again! Thank you!
He sings this song to perfection! I also agree with KC below. This was my favorite season ever because of Alejandro.
FEB 2023… Still here
2021, the other side of the world - amazing performance. The real deal!
Alejandro doesn't like to do covers but he definitely needs to include this song and "No Woman No Cry" on his first CD. Excellent job with both songs. Love him!
Wanted to let you know Alejandro (stage name Scarypoolparty) is dropping a full-length vid of Cold Play’s “Yellow” on his UA-cam channel Friday 3/18/2022. Be sure to check it out. He uses his stage name for his channel and all social media and music platforms. “Scarypoolparty”
His riffs are so insane
it's 2022 and I'm still not over this season of idol, especially because of Alejandro
This guy is a genius. So freaking amazing
His smile!!!!omg. ❤❤❤❤
Should have won and did win in my book. This young fellow was easily an artist already and perhaps to savant level on how he plays that guitar. Around 1:50 of this video he does a dance on the strings and frets that is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard anyone do with an instrument in a pop song.
I hope you are still following his journey. Everything is under his stage name: Scarypoolparty He’s releasing a 21 song double album next month with many of the songs having an orchestra!! So excited. He’s already released so much new music! It’s crazy how unbelievably talented one person can be. Would love to have full studio recordings of Yellow, Fall Apart and No Woman No Cry, but it’s highly unlikely because he doesn’t like to do covers. Seen him 4 times live and he’s amazing. Excited for his Fall tour with X Ambassadors.
@@smg3253 I highly doubt that in the history of American Idol there was ever anyone who wowed the judges as he did in his audition. He made history with his originals throughout the competition and although small lamentation about his not winning > he was probably better off not winning and getting locked into their contract.
@@larrybruin7303 He didn’t want to win. He didn’t want the “Idol” contract. There’s no longer a 1 mill prize. The contract isn’t for 10 years so that better. The money you do get is more of an advance until your album is released. Ale negotiated is own contract with Hollywood Records to have complete creative control and no one owns his song. The actual winner, Laine Hardy, has only released 4 songs (including Flame) in 2 years! He is being promoted more by Hollywood Records. He’s country so there’s a very large base of country music fans in the US. He had to do some Disney promotions and had to perform on The Bachelorette show last week and those are the kinds of things Alejandro would never want to do. During the time Laine released 4 singles, AA released 1 LP, 2 EPs and various singles. Now he’s about to do the 21 song double album!! Not even the most well known artists would have the catalog of music that this young man has created in just a couple of years. It’s crazy!
Still here in 2023. Heart melted.
October 28, 2021, the best contestant on this show. I miss his performances, nobody have done it like him!
I love going back and listening to you the talent is unbelievable ...I love you you a beautiful 🥰
Still here in 2023!!! This was simply AMAZING! ❤😢
Did anyone else catch Luke saying at the end, “When they can change music?” Alejandro! You’re already changing music!
He is so amazing! ✨ Everyone root for him he's great! 💯
What a beautiful person and SO extremely talented. Love his amazing voice, guitar, smile ... and his unwarranted humility. Don't ever change. No need to.
