This audition randomly came across my mind and I had to watch it again, years later. As soon as the video came up and I was shocked, she plays Tasha Skanks on my favorite show “Greenleaf”!!! I’m so happy for you and all your success!!
Asia'H Epperson - first of all, I just want to start out by letting you know that I'm extremely sorry for your terrible loss of your father. Honestly, as a singer myself, I'm not sure how I'll be able to be as strong like you if I were to lose my dad but this was by far one of the best and inspiring auditions I've ever heard from you. Stay strong girl, and be sure to continue doing what you truly love. You were born to sing and it made me cry inside the minute you started your audition song. I'm so very proud of you because the fact that you can sing at audition like that while you're crying is the beauty of a true star. Emotion is the key to singing any song so that you can connect with your audience and that's exactly what you did. You felt the song so deeply you started crying and the fact that you kept going, was so brave. You've inspired me to be the best I could be too and I love you with all my heart. God bless your father's soul and know that you've got a huge support system behind you. His memory will always live on inside you. Well done!❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is the most captivating audition I have ever seen. Even though she can't finish the song, she sings with so much heart. She brings this song alive. I wish she was on AI again this season!
I love this girl. So down to earth and I really do feel for her. That must be so hard. Incredible talent. I love voices like hers. I know there is a word for it, but I cant think of it lol.
WOW!!!!!!!!! dats all i can say...da moment she open her mouth n begun 2 sing u felt pain n her passion n heard n amazing voice...i cried soon she started singing im still crying...i fell her pain.. i kno wat is lyk 2 loose sumbodi so close 2 u...i jus lost my cousin who was lyk my sis 2 cancer...so my heart goes 2 her n her family cuz da pain does not get easier as tym goes on it get harder cuz every thing remind u of dem so asia'h u keep ur head n keep letting dat passion cum threw ur songs
If I watch this 100 times, I cry 100 times and I'm not a person who cries very often. I watch this for the first time about 7 years ago in live tv and burst into tears immediately right when she said "if you ever leave, well baby you would take away everything good in my life". I love my dad, he's my world, my heart, my soul as the song says and this hit me right in the feels.
you must have never watched the show before because contestants always tell their personal stories and/or have them written down on their application. she got through because she was a good singer pure and simple.
just heard the best friend of one of my best friends died... and i am crying so hard. i saw this and cried my heart out. :-( what a life and people like this give me strength...
WOW.i LOVE her soo much.she is awesome and strong,and i was just crying through out the whole video, i mean i wouldn´t be able to do that.she BIG time broke my heart.
Anyone that's ever been in a car accident or lost someone to one would definitely get emotional watching this if you have a soul. I know I was like Paula and the girl crying the whole way through.
@NowhereManish well you could tell in her voice which was very Horse that she was crying alot. Her voice was really deep also, thats how i sound when i lost my aunt. I could tell she was crying alot. she almost lost her voice while she was singing..... SHE WAS VERY STRONG
I never cry because I feel sad for someone on a vid or something, but now I cried so much, it was terrible.. I have so fucking much respect for this girl! And she has an amazing voice ofcourse =)
why did paula go away? well i know she was overwhelemed from the passion and the sad story? But happened something in her real life or something like that?
what the fuck? why isn't she more upset? If my father had just passed away TWO DAYS ago, I would b so fucked up I wouldn't even be able to... I can't function without my dad and two days after his passing I would be a vegetable.

My favorite audition ever.
two days..... two DAYS. wow..... that's crazy that she was able to do that
I could NOT! Brave girl. Beautiful voice.
It takes a lot of courage just two days after a loss like hers. I felt her audition was all about her singing to her dad
I wanna hear her sing the whole song, she's amazing!
she blew me away with the first note..that girl has talent!!
I watch this when it first came on and I cried ..., Then when she got voted off i was crying sad

This song brought a tear to my eyes. I think the best artists are the ones that can express hurt and pain in their music. She has a bright future!
I remember this girl from the top 16 season 7 and I didn't watch her first audition at all. Didn't know she is such a brave girl.
This was a very touching moment. It made DJ cry like a baby and he never usually cries.
CQT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
