I Don't Mean to Be Rude, But...: Backstage Gossip from American Idol & the Secrets that Can Make You a Star

Vonzell Solomon (The Philly Sound - American Idol 4, Final 4, Song 2 of 2)

Vonzell Solomon
Song: Don't Leave Me This Way Download 'Don't Leave Me This Way' at iTunes Check out 'Don't Leave Me This Way' at Amazon.com (Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes Download 'Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes' tracks at iTunes Check out 'Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes' at Amazon.com)

Vonzell returns to her best form for her second number of the night, singing 'Don't Leave Me This Way'
We know by now that Vonzell is very family-oriented and not surprisingly her video message to her mom and dad is very touching. It must be gratifying for them to hear their Baby V thanking them for their love and support.
The emotional strain of being apart from her family became obvious earlier tonight when she cried in front of the panel. However, Vonzell proves that she is a true professional, she picks herself up for her second song and channels her strong emotions into the performance.
It's a powerful vocal packed with intensity, and Vonzell is gripping to watch as she bounds energetically about the stage.
After her earlier dip in form Vonzell pulls it back with this one.

Panel-Bites:

Vonzell:  Mom and dad. I just want to say thank you for all your love and support. And thank you for working 2 and 3 jobs sometimes just to provide for our family. I love you guys and I miss you guys so much. (Vonzell blows a kiss to the camera.)

Vonzell sings...

Randy Jackson:  Yo! Yo!

Vonzell:  (Acknowledging applause) Thank you.

Randy Jackson:  Excellent, excellent, excellent job. I mean you raised the roof, you vindicated whatever happened on that last song. And the one thing America knows now, 'You can definitely sing'! (Cheers and Applause)

Vonzell:  Thank you. Thank you.

Paula Abdul:  What I loved what you did tonight, is you do take risks, and you do stretch your... your vocal performance, and you do... you do achieve your own personal best. And tonight on that performance you just did that. (Cheers)

Vonzell:  Thank you. Thank you very much.

Simon Cowell:  Yeah you... (Laughs) You pulled all the stops out on that one. It was a very manic performance and I was almost glad that it ended. Ahm

Vonzell:  (Laughs)

Randy Jackson:  What?

Simon Cowell:  Yeah because I felt tense for you. But it was a lot better than the first song. For me anyway.

Vonzell:  Thank you very much.

Ryan Seacrest:  Vonzell Solomon! She gathered herself and she nailed it ladies and gentlemen.

Vonzell:  Thank you!

Ryan Seacrest:  Way to go sweetheart.
