because of what paula said, i went back to re hear it... i, too, had thought he'd slipped a half step down in pitch, and even though he held it, there was a half step key change. i was wrong, as is paula. he was even better the second time i listened. great singer.
That's my Director of the National Baptist Convention U.S.A inc., Youth Rally Choir. I've heard more and trust me he can sing and hit notes out of this world...God Bless You Bernard, Jackson, Alabama loves you. Holla Back National Baptist!
Well Paula, we have the pleasure of hearing Bernard's voice every Sunday at NewBirth, as the leader of Praise and Worship. He is an incredible vocalist, and a very fun person to be around.
I was also in Texas this week the songs HE taught us was wonderful!!!! he is an super talented young man!! cant wait to see whats is store 4 next year??
I just realized this guy i already met at work....and had no idea it was him...!! cute...!! lol cute...!!! I had the chance to meet him and he is awsome...nice person to work with
I wuz in TX dis week, and dis dude right here taught us 2 songs 4 a gospel convention! He CAN sing! He can sing hiz heart out! I didn't kno he wuz on American Idol! I culda got hiz autograph!
He did change the key that the song was written in but he wasnt off of the new key that he chose....maybe she meant that he changed the key? He sounded great....
Now he is on a competition called "Gospel Dream" that comes on the gospel music channel..he is doing great on there..maybe that is because the type of music he is actually supposed to be singing, because he can feel it better
If there's anybody that knows about keys...it's Dr. Bernard Williams II one of the great directors of our National Baptist Congress youth rally...I don't understand what paula was saying. SERIOUSLY!
@Antionette1997 Ikr...I think he writes his own songz...If he duz, dey Real gud...And "Father Me" iz so passionate and "You are My God" iz like a jumpy-type spirited song :]
He was not off key. He was wonderful. That was a difficult song to sing because the lyrics - lead and background - are basically on top of each other. And what was the humble pie nonsense?
Did anyone notice how his voice mad paula tweak?? She has a spirit that was aggravated by his anointing. He will never make it due to his church roots.. I hope he recatches her eyes and body
wow...first time ive ever seen that...im still not gonna say n e thing about paula since she has experience and is almost never wrong, and since this guy didnt become the american idol, she couldnt hav been too wrong
i think that they mean that the next person that sings is terrible. and that birmingham as a whole considering the next performance wasn't exactly "coming back"
Yeah Paula was still critiquing the person who came in before him. See, it takes her awhile to snap back into the present lol. The next person to sing was a little confused when Paula kept calling her Bernard. But anywho, Bernard can definitely sing and was nowhere near off pitch. Seek Sober House, Paula.
This clip proves that Paula sometimes dont know what the hell she's talking about. Any musician will know that this boy was not off key...maybe sharp at times but not completely off key as she's claiming. What medication was she on? This boy should have been in the top 12. I noticed lately that AI stopped putting through talented soulful singers and started focusing on "rock" and "country" singers. I only really trust Randy's critiques not because we both are black, he has a good ear for music.
this guy picked a tough song to audition with. he was just a little off key, but hes a good singer.. and has potential like Simon said. the point is anybody who can sing like Michael Jackson should be an American Idol winner.
He's maybe a quarter tone below the actual pitch on the high notes (i.e. he's a few hertz short of hitting the intended note). The weird thing is, she said he was off key, but he's definitely in the right key (both are in Eb)... So Paula either doesn't know shit about actual music theory or she's off the fuckin' rocker.
What the hell was Paula talking about?!? That was actually the perfect key. I listened 2 MJ sing it after I watched this. She must've been on her period or sumthin!! LMaO!!
Paula was obviously under the influence of something hence her lack of good judgement. His voice is different frm MJ's, so he's not gonna sound identical to the record, but he was on key.
i must be missin somethin here... that guy is incredibl - his voice control is next level (no homo) i must b tone deaf or sutin because that panel didnt do him justice imo
paula was wrong!!! has she ever listened to herself!!!!!! id still do her though. this guy wasn't off paula just wanted to look powerful and end up looking stupid. those judges love playing power games with each other. look at how she tried to regain control by saying 'excuse me humble pie please!' she hated being overruled
Paula forgot to take her drugs....she has a lot of medical problems. You can see it. I do think she is a nice lady but sometimes she's not with us. x This guy was good!

he was one of my coaches at the national youth gospel convention in houston it was amazing:))))
Well Paula, we have the pleasure of hearing Bernard's voice every Sunday at NewBirth, as the leader of Praise and Worship. He is an incredible vocalist, and a very fun person to be around.
I was also in Texas this week the songs HE taught us was wonderful!!!! he is an super talented young man!! cant wait to see whats is store 4 next year??
and LMFAO 1:08 After Paula's comment, the dude like "this bitch is crazy"
i talk to him every year. he is an excellent songtress and writer. if i wrote that right.
That's fine! He's meant for gospel anyway! He is anoited and that's something world doesn't know about.
I just realized this guy i already met at work....and had no idea it was him...!! cute...!! lol cute...!!! I had the chance to meet him and he is awsome...nice person to work with

I worked with this guy he is very talented. Not only can he sing but he can play many instruments.
I worked with him when I was little at at baptist convention
omg he was the director for the youth rally in detroit, he wrote some beautiful songs espescially We Need You
You can find him at NewBirth, our praise and worship leader. Look up New Birth Praise & Worship here on CZcams. Or view us live at newbirth.org
He did change the key that the song was written in but he wasnt off of the new key that he chose....maybe she meant that he changed the key?
He sounded great....
Whaaat is wrong with Paula's ears???????????? What key was she talking about?????????? He did a great job. Loved him. Hope to see more of him!
Now he is on a competition called "Gospel Dream" that comes on the gospel music channel..he is doing great on there..maybe that is because the type of music he is actually supposed to be singing, because he can feel it better
this has got to be one of the best auditions I've heard... whatever happened to this guy?
hes a worship leader for the late great Eddie Longs former church NewBirth
yes she is.. thumbs up!
If there's anybody that knows about keys...it's Dr. Bernard Williams II one of the great directors of our National Baptist Congress youth rally...I don't understand what paula was saying. SERIOUSLY!
Anointed I meant! LOL! It's basically when you are touched or chosen by God to do something that will bring glory to him and not to yourself.
She's wasted, and he was amazing.
This has to be the first time Paula has said no to someone that the other judges liked.
@Antionette1997 Ikr...I think he writes his own songz...If he duz, dey Real gud...And "Father Me" iz so passionate and "You are My God" iz like a jumpy-type spirited song :]
awesome
I remember watching this and thinking to myself Paula must've been high that day, because he sounded good. Oh well it is what it is.
she must've been hammered like i am now lol, cuz boy got a voice!!!!!!
great voice. good tone. 7 and a half on the key.
She can't sing a lick for real! He was on point!
That man was clearly on key the ENTIRE time!! Paula was on something...
i think that that's the first time EVER that simon said yes to one that paula didn't...
One of the few that Paula said no to.
Agreed.
There is a new judge. I think (and hope) that she'll replace Paula.
He was not off key. He was wonderful. That was a difficult song to sing because the lyrics - lead and background - are basically on top of each other. And what was the humble pie nonsense?
LOL EXACTLY...she obviously doesn't have an ear cause he was clearly ON KEY.
And we wonder why Paula isn't amounting to anything.....BUT we praise God that Minister Bernard is at New Birth rockin IT FOR JESUS!!!!
He's my product trainer
seemed all over the place
hes singing the same song adam lambert sang in his audition!!!!
Did anyone notice how his voice mad paula tweak?? She has a spirit that was aggravated by his anointing. He will never make it due to his church roots.. I hope he recatches her eyes and body
wow..... hes on gospel dream
Did Paula just say he was offf key? And she can't hold one in a bagggg??? WOW
wow paula is high started in C# ended in C#, guess what key michael jackson song it in C#
I wouldn't have to think about sending this guy to hollywood, it would have already came to me. What the hell is wrong with Paula
wow...first time ive ever seen that...im still not gonna say n e thing about paula since she has experience and is almost never wrong, and since this guy didnt become the american idol, she couldnt hav been too wrong
whenever some1 sucks paula likes them and when some1 rocks she hates them
i agree
i think that they mean that the next person that sings is terrible. and that birmingham as a whole considering the next performance wasn't exactly "coming back"
Paula has never been more off. wow...she obviously was not listening. I not surprised she left the show.
he's a good singer!!! Paula deaf drunk or something. anyway, what happen to him did he make it through?
Yeah Paula was still critiquing the person who came in before him. See, it takes her awhile to snap back into the present lol. The next person to sing was a little confused when Paula kept calling her Bernard.
But anywho, Bernard can definitely sing and was nowhere near off pitch. Seek Sober House, Paula.
What does that mean...don't count ur chickens before they've hatched? Can there be like two chics in an egg or something?
He was definitely off key, but Simon is a music producer, he knew if he could sing that, he could bring some decent suff.
@W3nt3r I loved You Are My God.
c this was when paula was gettin tipsy
This clip proves that Paula sometimes dont know what the hell she's talking about. Any musician will know that this boy was not off key...maybe sharp at times but not completely off key as she's claiming. What medication was she on? This boy should have been in the top 12. I noticed lately that AI stopped putting through talented soulful singers and started focusing on "rock" and "country" singers. I only really trust Randy's critiques not because we both are black, he has a good ear for music.
i think paula was smoking something before the show...she was jamming to the song and then all of a sudden she hated it :s talk about mood swing!!
he was pitchy but not completely off key.
I want to know what key Paula would have sang in
this guy picked a tough song to audition with. he was just a little off key, but hes a good singer.. and has potential like Simon said. the point is anybody who can sing like Michael Jackson should be an American Idol winner.
He's maybe a quarter tone below the actual pitch on the high notes (i.e. he's a few hertz short of hitting the intended note). The weird thing is, she said he was off key, but he's definitely in the right key (both are in Eb)... So Paula either doesn't know shit about actual music theory or she's off the fuckin' rocker.
your exactly right, WTF is "anoited"
That doesn't mean he was off key.
What the hell was Paula talking about?!? That was actually the perfect key. I listened 2 MJ sing it after I watched this. She must've been on her period or sumthin!! LMaO!!
💪💙
Paula was obviously under the influence of something hence her lack of good judgement. His voice is different frm MJ's, so he's not gonna sound identical to the record, but he was on key.
paula is just freakin jelaus...
i must be missin somethin here... that guy is incredibl - his voice control is next level (no homo) i must b tone deaf or sutin because that panel didnt do him justice imo
paula was absolutly fuckin drunk wow he was amazing!!!!
nicee
he sounds a lot like stevie wonder
wasnt off but maybe she was looking for a kinda mellow style MJ did?
No, he was. Just because he sounds good, doesn't mean hes on pitch.
wow thats not water in paulas glass
paula on sum mo shit, she kno dat wuz good
Seriously Paula has been drinking on this show
Two questions. What was she drinking? What was she smokin? He was good.
wow he was awesome; what is he doing now! he was not off key really????? what did she hear? really wow
hes googd
@BGVocals a big LOL!!
Ah, yeah..he is....smile)))))
And is it just me, or does he look like Terrance Howard?
he is fine and can sing to me lol
paula was wrong!!! has she ever listened to herself!!!!!! id still do her though. this guy wasn't off paula just wanted to look powerful and end up looking stupid.
those judges love playing power games with each other.
look at how she tried to regain control by saying 'excuse me humble pie please!'
she hated being overruled
Ha, ha Paula was wasted, lol. Anyways, this guy can sing.
yea i dont kno wat she was talking bout
How's she going to jig to his song like that then say no?!
and... this is why paula is where?!?!? doing what?!?!?! signing autographs for who?!?!?!?
Sometimes I cant believe Paula was a choreographer LOL
His runs did fall out of key...but he wasn't completely off key Paula was trippin'...Nice voice.
TJRelly - Not ONE run fell off key. I heard when he hit a minor-it was intentional. He was singing with the chord in the song.
I think it was because he was singing it too fast. lolz.
He was NOT off key even for a millisecond, and Paula is high!
He's a little flat at places, but doing that a Capella, definitely understandable.
What's wrong with Paula?!
he's cute :) and he can sing!
he was good!!!! Paula is deaf!
He does lol
Paula forgot to take her drugs....she has a lot of medical problems. You can see it. I do think she is a nice lady but sometimes she's not with us. x This guy was good!
