@@epiccutie7119 actually its good thing he didnt accept her, she would have gottwn big for a little while but simon doesnt really pay to advertise unless its a group so he would have screwed her just like he did poor leona lewis
She is absolutely amazing. I am a singer myself and I appreciate the control she has over her voice. What she does is not easy for an adult let alone an 11 year old! This is a future star I'm willing to bet my life savings on it.
Awh tori tori tori, I been a fan since the halo performance at your schools recital....this girl, well woman now was born to sing and she doesn't just sing she sangggsss her butt off, yet it's so effortless for her. She is one of the few that was just born to do music, she's classy, she so talented those riffs and runs,I can't even, she is gorgeous, I mean she is gonna be a legend when she finished making her mark on the universe. I compare her to no one because she is like no one I've ever heard, I'm just obsessed. #ToriK. Baby!!
i never get tired of this video ! i have watched this like a zillion times....still can believe her talent at her age...and tori kelly is a beautiful woman today ..and still mad talented ...she plays alot of instruments and recording ,writing ..doing alot of stuff....im proud of her ,SHE NEEDS TO GET BIG SHE DESERVES THIS !
+Jesus D Im with you on that one. If we are comparing them at age 11 then I do think Tori is better. She has a clearer tone and more precision over her voice. I actually prefer Tori's voice in general. I feel like Cristina misuses her voice a lot and has a tendency to over sing. Not knocking her though, when she's on her shit she is fantastic.
+Ashley Stewart The best vocalists of this new generation are basically inspired by the one and only legendary Christina Aguilera! Tori Kelly, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato. Those singers grew up listening and trying to imitate Christina and later on find their different styles as an artist which are unique and great.
I have never heard a child sing live with such perfection. God this talent is 1 in a billion. I spend my days watching and listening to Tori Kelly. She is a prodigy of an artist. Her talent is unparalleled and her simplicity and beauty make her one of the best artists of her generation and of all generations.
1:40 - She has been doing the same thing since she was a child and I love it. What is it? She loves to do something incredible for an extended period of time, and then when you think shes done and you're ready to clap, she takes it up 4 notches and wows you in a way that you had no idea was about to happen. She held that note powerfully and ended it beautifully, and when you thought she was done she launches into those free and powerful runs and takes the song up higher and continues. My goodness.
I have never seen some one could do a Christina Aguilera song that well. And she was 11!!!? Oh my fucking God, she's talented. Great singer can do Christina song well but it always feels sth wrong. Tori, girl, you even make it feel so right.
EVEN THEN ..SHE HAD IT ,SHE HAD IT! SPENT A DAY GOING DOWN TORI KELLY LANE AND I COULDN'T HELP BUT CRY SEEING THIS. SHE'S COME SOO FAR AND IS ONLY GOING UP , BLESS YEWW T.K BUT DO COME DOWN TO SOUTH AFRICA PLEEEAAAASSE .I HEART YOU!!!
Even when he said Tori Kelly I was hesitant at if this was a different Tori Kelly but then her vocals killed me and her familiar gorgeous smile resurrected me.
Saw her in concert last month and she was awesome! The venue was very small and dozens of ticket-less fans were lined up even though the show had been sold out. How did someone so talented, with an authentic singing voice, NOT end up in Taylor Swift's shoes? Thanks for the tweets about her, Scooter!
Christina better take some notes on technique from Tori. Tori sang Christina's entire song and the entire time it was completely supported, quite musical, and still had all the riffs and runs without a hint of strain. And she did this all by the age of 11. That's how you focus raw talent! Tori will be in her vocal peak well into her career, whereas Christina made it through two albums before the ability to do her earliest music went away.
Wilford Kelly Tori did not support any belt above D5, it was all throat, and also (I know she's only 11) but she did a karaoke version, and exact copy and paste of every little detail and run... You could tell she was REALLY straining to hit the G5's, and Christina has actually hit some pretty nice upper belts, and when Christina was this age as well, she was just as amazing and a true natural ability! Tori obviously has a better technique, but they both only support up to a D5 even now so don't give me that bullshit... And also, Christina totally influenced Tori's style of singing... AND EVEN MORE when Christina was Tori's age she'd already sold millions and had numerous number 1's with some of the biggest and most popular songs ever written (Genie and Beautiful)... I respect Tori as an artist and performer, but Christina holds a decade long (maybe more) of inspiring the next generation of vocalist and has been in the business since she was 7 or 8 where she was on talent shows and TV interviews for her singing... Then she was on the most iconic kids show to produce some of the worlds most A List celebrities ever (Britney, Xtina, Justin, Ryan) so yeah, don't come for Xtina... Im sure if she wanted to she could have afforded the BEST vocal coach in the entire world to train her, but she obviously prefers the unique style of her straining (which maybe worked in her 20's but has had devastating impacts on her voice now) but she could obviously sing with support and mix better if she wanted to! She's a fucking millionaire, she could get ANYONE to train her, and she knows her technique sucks, she even says it in her Masterclass thing, so don't give me bullshit about Tori being so much better! Is that a good enough argument for you?
Ross.White98 Not at all. If she tools her craft seriously, as MOST musicians do, she'd get herself a coach to keep her in this business for as long as possible, rather than injuring herself repeatedly as she does. Tori in this specific clip was not throaty, she's simply a child. The childlike tone can't be escaped since she's 11, but she is much more supported than Christina ever was, at ten years her senior. It's easy to come for Christina, and it doesn't make it any more okay that she knows and continues to do nothing about it. The industry must stop glorifying these folks who don't take time to shape their voices.
i've been a huge fan of Tori for the last 10 years, somehow this still left me speechless. how can you sing like that at 11?? she really isn't human. never has been i guess.xd
Wow! She hasn't lived through enough seasons to be this seasoned, But Wow! What a voice and what a stage presence! Amazing performance! I am truly proud to have even witnessed this!
I would LOVE to hear Tori re-cover this song!!! It would be awesome to see how she would sing it now since she doesn't really sing like this anymore.. Shed definitely change it up to fit her style right now.
I knew she was a STAR way back then. Btw, if you really want to appreciate her voice ... take a listen to EYELASHES, CONFETTI & of course, DEAR NO ONE.
Chesré Steyn Christina has always been talented no doubt. What is annoying about Christina is her attitude (arrogance). Tori sung the heck out of the song and did not have/display arrogance. She showed confidence and skill.
I guess owning all of Christina's music really makes me a hater. I guess a person who puts Christina in the top 50 singers is a hater. You made a great point limelightsfaded. I am so guilty. You give the impression you have read some other conversations in which I discussed haters. So... not gonna work. And if somehow you are sincere then watching the two ladies perform is self explaining. I won't draw you a picture.
Ok, listen, me and my friend Jessica, or Jess, as I call her, were getting our lives from a rewatch of Tori’s live performance in LA last year, cause Jess herself was at that show. She sang this, and I had to come back here.
Ever so often when I feel low I just have to hear this one song sung just this precious way only by Tori. Thanks Tori, you have an undeniable gift. I hope you keep on keeping on-
Her dad looks at her with such pride. This warms my heart.
Plus being on the honor roll is also a special bonus
seriously tori was killing it at 11!????? who does that?!
Christina at 8 :)
truth bergesio54
Bianca Ryan . America's Got Talent. Same year I believe. She was 11 AND she won that show.
Alex G right! I was like ''wait, 11? oh shit''. lol
Aaliyah
She was already an incredible performer and DAMN that range though,
Simon cowell screwed up
Right how can that ignorant fuck not like her voice.
obviously, she's nominated for a grammy now
Damn right, he did.
@@epiccutie7119 actually its good thing he didnt accept her, she would have gottwn big for a little while but simon doesnt really pay to advertise unless its a group so he would have screwed her just like he did poor leona lewis
She was better than a lot of artists at the age of 11! Not mentioning names cause of the hate :P
Cloe Ahm.. 98% of today popartists
Dang reminds me of Beyonce & Christina Aguilera when they sang as kids. This is what happens when you expose kids to soul music. Talent.
Also when you expose them to Michael Jackson songs
She’s better than they were at 10
Love how her dad is looking at her... He is sooo proud! :)
I wish it was already June 23... Can't wait for the amazing album :(
Zoë van Beek It is June 23 now! ^^
never heard a kid sing this good
If u want another example jazmine Sullivan singing home as a child is 🔥
JoJo
Christina aguilera
Michael Jackson singing who's loving you at 6
I remember seeing this for the first time in 2007, so inspiring.
Little did I know, she'd be this successful! :)
HI I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS OMG
Melissa Mcgn AW THANKS, LOVE!
OfficialMikaaylaa yeah me too :)
ya this is the same girl simon cowell said had an annoying voice, look at her now chew on that one Mr. Simon.
i know i was referring to her recent success ha
kyler scott how could he reject her??!!!
@@gingerellacookiecookieguts273 he doesn’t know much about vocals probably
Dear puberty, please hit me like you did to Tori.
what are u talking about she looked so cute
@@medinadedic3223 she still looks beautiful and kept a beautiful voice.
omg at 1:40 i got goosebumps bc she literally sounded so much like christina
11? are you KIDDING ME?!!
her voice was on fleek
Eunice Lopez Ikr!!
WhateverIsTrue01 i wish i could of singed like her! 😍
She’s reminds me of a young Christina Aguilera here
@Julian Roane most 11-year-olds sound 11 tone-wise when they sing, so it’s pretty impressive
Even at a young age, Tori had an amazing smile too.
She was 11?!?!?! No wonder she got famous 8 years later! That is more than just talent!
And She held out the note. That's not an easy note to hold out especially for an 11 year old. LIKE WHATT.
@The Showcaser so amazing!! keep at it for sure! its very rare for someone to be able to do that especially so young
Here we are. September of 2016 and she's still slays our lives.
September 2024 and still slaying!
Watching it in 2015. Damn she's good! Always a fan of Tori Kelly!
funny how it all goes around..
best Comment
I'm laughing so hard
She like a mini Christina aguilara
except the strain and tension also she has better agility!
She is absolutely amazing. I am a singer myself and I appreciate the control she has over her voice. What she does is not easy for an adult let alone an 11 year old!
This is a future star I'm willing to bet my life savings on it.
u were right😩😩
And to think she's improved even more now when most artists today aren't even as good live as she was here as a little kid lol

How come that no one noticed that she belted 2 G5s in this performance???
@The Showcaser 1:45
what’s a G5?
@@hheenan a note
Did not know Tori was a child protégée. Her skills were already matured back then. What I admire is she loved it and kept going till now.
Holy shit she was ELEVEN???!!! Damn sounds exactly like Christina Aguilera when she was younger
she had an INCREDIBLE voice for an 11 year old
She reminds me of Christina Aguilera

It's amazing how great she was at such a young age. I've never seen an 11 year old sing as skillfully as Tori.
Wow she sounds just like Christina when she was in the Mickey Mouse club
Ca Ka OMG I know right
Ca Ka Hm no... she's better
***** what exactly makes christina better?

wow she was very influenced by Christina Aguilera . I cant believe that an 11 year old girl can sing like THAT !

Don't forget Mariah Carey.

It's crazy to think that I actually watched this live lol. This was so long ago, and she was still just as amazing as she is now!
How am I just hearing about this show in 2021? WOWWWW, love Tori and so happy for her success 👏🏼👏🏼
Even when he said Tori Kelly I was hesitant at if this was a different Tori Kelly but then her vocals killed me and her familiar gorgeous smile resurrected me.
TORI JUST APPEARD ON THE 2015 BET AWARDS AND SHE PERFORMED THE SONG "wHOS LOVING YOU" A JACKSON 5 CUT AND SHE RIPPED IT!!!!!!
Saw her in concert last month and she was awesome! The venue was very small and dozens of ticket-less fans were lined up even though the show had been sold out. How did someone so talented, with an authentic singing voice, NOT end up in Taylor Swift's shoes? Thanks for the tweets about her, Scooter!
someone please tell me how to diminish "Dislike" number
Nico Susilo EXACTLY! WHO ON EARTH could POSSIBLY DISLIKE THIS?!?
I remember watching this on TV and thought to myself "this girl is a star!"... 10 years later, I still think so :)
She was killin it before her voice developed fully.🥰

what the actual duck. is she even human?!?!
OMG SHE'S 11 AND HAS A VOICE LIKE THAT?!?!? Simon Cowell should get slapped, he doesn't recognize good talent when he sees it....
Real talent. Personally, i prefer her voice at 11 as opposed to her singing style when she was 16 on American Idol. Interesting to see her evolution!
you know shes 18 now and shes even better! Tori is amazing!
Yessss Kelly!! Singing xtina song u did her justice ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ amazing job
