I have a loud voice, I'm trying to calm it down and I know I sing to loud sometimes but I know some people want me to calm it down when recording, at my age I'm trying to learn
Her: 15, performing on stage, singing one of the biggest songs in the world. Me: 15, sitting on my couch eating potato chips and trying to dodge cupcakes thrown by my brothers
I have watched this performance over 30 times, at least, and every single time I notice something - some small detail - that I didn't notice before. Every single time I tell myself "I'll just watch it once more right now" before watching it two or three times in a row because I forgot how good this was. I love this song song by this girl. She is amazingly talented.
If she can sing this hard song, she is capable of hitting any song in front of her, behind her, beside her...she's a global hit...climb the ladder of success Sarah your voice is a GOLDMINE!
I can honestly say I can watch this audition over and over again and still get goose bumps like the very first time I saw it, absolutely an amazing voice!
@@alabamagirlbigbutbeautiful3256 I don’t think they gave her the right songs to sing throughout the show though…her voice is much bigger than the songs that they chose….imo🤷🏽♀️
@@zeemarielacey41 I said a LIKELY reason, bear in mind. Doesn't have to be what happened. But it occurs to me that racism may have been an important factor, since later rounds are voted by the public and not by the judges :(
@@RavenSutcliffe actually im pretty sure tokyo myers, a black pianist, won this year. i think, but dont believe that fully! just from memory. but if he did and im right, then it must have been his originality. still, sarah was way better and deserve the win, imo
When she started singing I got goosebumps, when she really got into the song I think the goosebumps got goosebumps , very Beautiful talented young lady.
This is the best singing audition I have ever seen. Hands down. I watch it all the time, and it always makes me feel good, no matter how I was feeling beforehand.
Jennifer Holliday was the original singer, I believe she first recorded this song in 1970 - 80's (not for sure) and then this young 15-yr old girl comes along and *blows* both Jennifer (Holliday and Hudson) out of the water with her voice singing this song...
She was conversating with whomever. Lol You talking left side black hair right? Lol Yeah she was tuned in or maybe she lost someone point is dont randomly judge someone without knowing the situation. Let's love the fact this Young Black Queen is going places with a voice like that. lol
Her voice is a work of art and she's going all the way to the top i just hope after years of giving the music industry so much of her wonderful Talent they don't turn around a kill her and call her a drug addict like so many times in the past
@@Proverbspsalms oh, she was a thirty year old girl named Jane, or Nightbirde while singing. She battles cancer, and had a 2 percent chance to live as of going on AGT. Her original song, "It's OK", is absolutely brilliant. You need to watch the performance, it'll make you cry. She sadly lost her battle a couple months ago.
She has an amazing voice. I can listen to her sing all day. And she has an old voice. And if nobody pressed the golden buzzer I would have been disappointed
And I’ve been following her artistic works ever since this day!!! Her majestic voice is one of a kind phenomenal!!! I / we love you Queen 👑 Sarah. ❤️❤️❤️
I know music..I've known only 3 that could do this ballad justice..Jennifer Holiday..the original..Jennifer Hudson...and this Ms Baby right here..she gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes...Father God lead guide and protect this young girl 🙏❤🙏
Rewatching this. THIS GIRL WAS NOT AUDITIONING MAN SHE WAS PERFORMING. PERIOD
Yes she was BIG FACT'S......
i watch this when i need strength! she's so incredible
she was gracing and gifting the audience with her mad skills
Facts
She should have spiked that mic after that
that song is literally one of the hardest songs to perform, and she made it look so easy. That’s how you know your talented
Been trying to find a quality cover for along time sense jen hud did it
Tyra Burnett she’s my sisters friend
When you watch somebody and you think you can do it but you break the neighbors windows
could somebody please tell the song name and who is the original singer of it?
Kan Cheng Jennifer Holliday originally sang it Jennifer Hudson covered it
It’s basically as if Whitney, Patti and Aretha lived in her body. The girl is BLESSED.
No. THIS is Ms Jennifer Hudson.
Love all the women mentioned here but this is Jennifer Holliday’s Tony award winning song.
I'm here too --- September 2022
I admire black women that have loud talented voices like this 🖤
Amen
I have a loud voice, I'm trying to calm it down and I know I sing to loud sometimes but I know some people want me to calm it down when recording, at my age I'm trying to learn
How about just being great singers!!!!!! She happens to be black! Bad ass!
Her: 15, performing on stage, singing one of the biggest songs in the world.
Me: 15, sitting on my couch eating potato chips and trying to dodge cupcakes thrown by my brothers
Chloe Hanks 🙄🤣🤣 meee toooooo 🤣🤣🤣😢
Still sounds like an interesting life. I don’t think a lot of people have siblings throwing cupcakes at them
But why are you dodging cupcakes? A great compliment to chips. Grab them, and grab them all!
You are so great urself!!!
LOL
I can't stop watching this performance. She is incredible
Period.
She sang this soy 5 yrs ago, it’s 2023
I still listened to her I love her voice so unique
Me too
Same
Seriously. It’s ridiculous how talented she is and she’s only 15!!!
Better than anyone I’ve seen on that show
This is from 5 years ago, its 2022 and I still listened to her I loved this girl's voice 😍
I got to love her
She sounds like a recording artist who needs to be in a sound booth literally singing this song and making albums
Literally watching this my whole life
Me to she's amazing
P Dig I'm also still listening and it's December the 30 22
She ATE and left no crumbs!!!
Really should have saved this for the grand finals, would have won with this for sure.
JebusPrimeDLC You should hear sing Glory from the movie Selma
yeah but look at the views of the liveshows and those of the auditions
there was no way she's going to beat Darcy. Darcy singing opera with two puppets is unbeatable.... nothing short of impossible...
@@timothyscott9043 Darcy is from America’s got Talent. They were competing in different competitions.
You're correct sir
This is by far the best vocal performance I've seen on this show. She is truly blessed with talent. Hope she goes far.
I agree!!!👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌
I agree
This girl gave me chills performing this song she did an awesome job.
I hope Jennifer Holliday has heard this , that young lady just stole her crown 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It’s Jennifer Hudson
@@enjolilevy1682 no Jennifer holiday was the original search it up
Her body language perfectly captures her passion and attitude about how she feels. She ain’t living without him. Periodt 💐💃🏾🇯🇲
She sang that song as if it was just another track to her... So effortlessly that song is not just for anybody to sing
The control she has is AMAZING
She must be really good...
fact that she got Golden buzzer from Simon
syarul zaffi Of course she is
Nik NSZ she’s my sisters friend they used to go to school together but now they just go to the gym together
And come to our house
And without a "tragic backstory!"
Just ridiculously sick. All that umph...in a 15yr old girl. Powerful!
Somebody give her a record deal, that was no audition that was a PERFORMANCE!!!!💯
Ive watched this so many times i never get tired listening to it. Unbelievable she made it her own very hard song to sing.
C'est magnifique vous souhaite beaucoup de bonheur et réussite 🌹🤲💓😍 bravo
Same! I deliberately look up her version on AGT to hear this song , starts @1:03 🎉👏🎉👏🎉👏🎉👏💖💖💖👍👍👍
I'm the man yelling YAAAh at 04:30
Ignacia García 😂
Ignacia García lol
Omg
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was Declan
Simon was truly moved

I love her singing that song.
I've been trying to look her up for 2 days and now I finally find her .she's a superstar I love her performance 💜
You didn't say if she made in the music business
If she can sing this hard song, she is capable of hitting any song in front of her, behind her, beside her...she's a global hit...climb the ladder of success Sarah your voice is a GOLDMINE!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Infront behind byside
Still coming Here in 2021 her voice is strong and simply incredible
This has to be the best audition I’ve ever seen! Unbelievable!!!
Must say that I love Sarah's version way better than the original one. That's huge to say.
I can honestly say I can watch this audition over and over again and still get goose bumps like the very first time I saw it, absolutely an amazing voice!
I’m watching this everyday non stop wow she should have won and the little diva that loves Beyoncé
@@alabamagirlbigbutbeautiful3256 I don’t think they gave her the right songs to sing throughout the show though…her voice is much bigger than the songs that they chose….imo🤷🏽♀️
You not alone , every time I run across it , I hit play .
How did She not Win.
Her Voice had so many different Ranges.
Wow😳
Her story wasn't sad enough. Generally the people with the saddest story wins these shows unfortunately.
I watch this video about 20 times she blew the roof off singing this
I come back to this, three years later, just to hear her sing. I haven't heard another cover like hers, and this video is simply put "timeless".
FACTSSSS
There's no one like Sarah. She does way too many magical stunts with her voice.. she can't be duplicated. Love her to bits.
That's one of the best performances I've ever seen from anyone no matter the age❤
I don’t know why she didn’t win that year? She’s really talented… amazing voice. I can’t get tired watching this video. I think this is my 100 times ❤
I can tell you a likely reason why she didn't win just by looking at her, sadly.
@@RavenSutcliffe what you think the reason is.. honestly
@@zeemarielacey41 I said a LIKELY reason, bear in mind. Doesn't have to be what happened.
But it occurs to me that racism may have been an important factor, since later rounds are voted by the public and not by the judges :(

She song glory on Apollo and made me cry..she's so talented
Best golden buzzer ever ...no need words to explain..just push it!
She is pure gold!
Every single time i watch this audition. My skin hair rises.....
Baby got SOUL. 😭😭😭💜💜💜
I have watched this so many times she is amazing. It’s 2023 and I am still watching it.
When she started singing I got goosebumps, when she really got into the song I think the goosebumps got goosebumps , very Beautiful talented young lady.
When Simon hit the Golden Buzzer..it was a relief and celebration at the same time ❤❤❤
I am literally crying. God Bless her and her parents.
David actually wanted to press the Golden Buzzer half way through! This vid always brings a grin to my face!!
This is the best singing audition I have ever seen. Hands down. I watch it all the time, and it always makes me feel good, no matter how I was feeling beforehand.
2022 and I'm still coming back to this video . She SAAANNGGGG tf outta this song 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Keep watching her over and over. Tremendous talent. Where she is now , I hope
happy, healthy and successful
"The True Definition of Having Talent & Being Born a Star."
She not only COMMANDED presence; she made she EVERYONE knew she deserved it!
Sarah: Sings the hardest song ever, with her soul and mind
Me: Tryes to sing Pepa pig, and fails
Try’s*
@@marcusmarshall6128 tries*
@@stellamontez3103 💀 I took a fat L
I’ve been rewatching this every few months for the past few years and I still think she ate Jennifer up 😂😂❤❤❤❤
She is the real deal she's unstoppable you go girl..
I get the shivers every time I see this performance. Simon is right that she owned it. I just hope he helps her to achieve the career she deserves.
Miss Ukumu is out of this world, not only in singing, but in performance as well. I look forward to hearing
much more of her singing in the future.
Ikumu
Whats the name of the song she is singing and the original singer
Best version ever. Went to see dream girls on on stage and she sang it better than the female singer by far.
The female singer is Jennifer Hudson (put some respect on her name) and they both are very great
Jennifer Holliday was the original singer, I believe she first recorded this song in 1970 - 80's (not for sure) and then this young 15-yr old girl comes along and *blows* both Jennifer (Holliday and Hudson) out of the water with her voice singing this song...
@@Mommapunkin You're 100% correct. She blew BOTH Jennifers right out of their socks. She ABSOLUTELY OWNED this song. ... Amazing.
@@XSGAME4Uyall gotta relax 😂🤣. She snapped but she definitely didn't blow them out of the water
She makes my soul sing!!!
If I was her parents I'd be bawling! She has such a beautiful and powerful soul. How can someone do this so effortlessly!!
One of the most amazing performance i ever seen
The level of excitement that rose from her family when the Gold buzzer got hit always brings tears to me
One of the greatest vocal performances I have ever seen
2:39 gave me chills shes soo good omg
You know you are good when you get a golden buzzer from simon!!
The control she has is amazing.
I can't get over her. She exudes such raw power omfg
Love Sarah’s rendition of this song!😁she owns the song💗
I listen to this anytime I need my spirits lifted. Not sure where she is now but she is AMAZING
2022 returning to hear this awesome version schedule rocks I hope she is doing well
Additional to my comment, the best audition I have ever seen
YES! I came to say this. My best friend and I have watched auditions for yearssss and this is by far THE BEST audition.
Every time I watch this I think I'm at a paid concert ... This young girl is amazing then & always xxx I wish I had her talent
Age of 15
*WOW* what am I doing with my life
I’m sitting on the toilet
@penny qenny TMI
Lol
Still gives me goosebumps every time
This girl is extremely talented that girl at 2:05 behind Simon didn’t have to look like that. I wish this talented goddess all the success!!!
Look like what??? What do you she looks like???
She was conversating with whomever. Lol You talking left side black hair right? Lol Yeah she was tuned in or maybe she lost someone point is dont randomly judge someone without knowing the situation. Let's love the fact this Young Black Queen is going places with a voice like that. lol
I've watched this a hundred times. It's one of my favourite all time performances. Sarah Ikumu needs to be heard. Where is she?
Her voice is a work of art and she's going all the way to the top i just hope after years of giving the music industry so much of her wonderful Talent they don't turn around a kill her and call her a drug addict like so many times in the past
She's must be really good, considering that she didn't prepare a sob story like other contestants.
😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 sob story. I get so sick of those stories.
@@Proverbspsalms except for Nightbirde. She managed to turn her sob story into another reason to live. R.I.P.
@@HumminGBird168 whose that? What happened
@@Proverbspsalms oh, she was a thirty year old girl named Jane, or Nightbirde while singing. She battles cancer, and had a 2 percent chance to live as of going on AGT.

@@HumminGBird168 oh noooo. I don’t watch these shows so I never heard of her. I’m going to look her up. Thanks
I can’t imagine being the person performing after her ❤️🔥
She has an amazing voice. I can listen to her sing all day. And she has an old voice. And if nobody pressed the golden buzzer I would have been disappointed
And I’ve been following her artistic works ever since this day!!! Her majestic voice is one of a kind phenomenal!!! I / we love you Queen 👑 Sarah. ❤️❤️❤️
From now on you and only you will sing the national anthem!!!
I’m still shocked that a 15 year old (I know she’s older now) with no professional training has such an amazing voice.
Same here with me ,but i think she is already bless with it ,where are you from?
This is my favourite interpretation of this song, ever! Love this girl.
There’s an tribal spirit with her voice🙋🏿♀️beautiful
This performance still give me chills! So powerful!
This wasn’t a audition it was a performance!!
This performance is amazing. Every time I see it, I end up crying with emotion. And really she perfomrs this song completely. It's Insane.
Simon smiling like a proud dad, I love it 😭
She needs to sing on Broadway. Imagine her killing anything and everything.
I can't even count the number of times i have watched this performance. Incredible! Utterly incredible. Perfection is an understatement.
She is so cute 😻😻
Amazing the best!!!! Her voice for a 15yr old is out of this world!
Her dads face! 😍 what a proud moment for her entire family. Congratulations. 🥰
This was amazing
Paule p

I want to hear her sing Gospel, that would be soooooo cool!
That song Glory she song on the Apollo gave me the chills
Definitely one of the best audition of all time!!!!
