Season 9 - DiDi Benami
Get To Know Didi Benami
In this video: top 24, didi benami
Woop! Congrats DiDi!! :D Seriously, this is your time :) I have a really good feeling about it :D
Good Luck :D DIDI FTW!
i started to like her when she sings the Terrified..she just sings well with Jason Reeves type of song..love her voice..she looks good with Casey...
She really has that likeability factor.. She is genuine and she has the tone that you would like to hear over an over again like Colbie.. She did a good version of "Terrified" which is really better than Katherine's version to be honest. Get the right songs and current one's DiDi you got to stick to being current as it is your aura. I am a big fan already *wink*
if you could read this Didi..i think your voice fits with the that of Colbie's type of songs...i sooo love it..
congratulations for making it to the top 24!
loved your Terrified performance. your genre of music and type of artist will be a unique addition to the AI line-up so am hoping you choose your songs wisely - would love to see you sail through! good luck!
I love her i hope she wins !!! =]
I really like you a lot! I am totally going to vote for you! Just be careful to choose the right song choice. Good Luck!
I loved your performance on "Terrified". And yes, Colbie Caillat songs suit your voice!
you deserve to be in the top 24. you are talented. you are my second favorite female this season. i too use music as an outlet. i lost my sister in august 2008. there is not too many songs that i can sing without crying. just keep singing. you are at the beginning of the yellow brick road. just keep doing what you do best and you will go all the way. good luck and kick ass.
HI Didi I really love your terrifield performance
Good luck from Chile
I just watched your performance and the judges are saying stupid stuff, you sounded amazing and I loved EVERY SECOND OF IT. You are a great singer and you are a star !!!
Didi you did awesome tonight. Loved it!
the most memorable of the evening, there were only two others I thought were even close and you were way ahead. go for the gold didi.
didi, try singing "THE CLIMB" by Miley Cyrus ^_^
Didi,your voice is so wonderful,what Simon said to you was wrong,i'll vote for you untill the end,you should sing Colbie Caillat's Song,it's suitable for you,and i think you're beautiful too.
tiger? :D haha...that was funny but if your a tiger you are the most beautiful tiger in the world with a sweet voice :D roarr!!!:D I'm glad your safe, thank god, America voted for you. I'm glad that I'll be able to hear you again. God bless you didi!!! -from Philippines
You have to sing Mercy by Duffy....It would be PERFECT for your voice.....
DIDI, JUST STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF AND KEEP IT REAL.. YOUR GUNNA GO ALL THE WAY, DONT WORRY ABOUT THE JUDGES ITS OUT OF THERE HANDS NOW. DONT SING TO THEM SING TO US... WE LOVE YOU..
Didi, sing MAYBE IT WAS MEMPHIS, by Pam Tillis, you'll knock em out, i think it fits you
MAYBE IT WAS MEMPHIS, by Pam Tillis
MAYBE IT WAS MEMPHIS, by Pam Tillis
DiDi listen to me young lady. I know you have a mother but I am telling you - I am beginning to wonder about the judges. I watch every year and every year it is the same thing. Do this Do that - Don't do this Don't do that - sing younger - sing older because you're and old soul. I have to tell you I thought the performance you gave Wed. was perfect. I just don't have a clue what they are hearing but you were soooo good. Ellen to me is a very nice person, I love her and I watch her show but I think she should stick to that. Her opinions to me don't have much merit. Most of the time she is copying Randy's opinion except she is not as harsh. Maybe you should look back at some of the songs Katherine McPhee sang. I think she got some harsh criticism for some song choices but like I said I'm beginning to think the judges are just full of it, if you know what I mean. You are beautiful. The most beautiful girl on the show and you have a killer voice and in my opinion - YOU ROCKED!
If the judges are so darn smart why don't they pick the songs for everyone and then see if their opinions change any. Then they would have to criticize themselves for the song choices. I think we should judge the judges, how about you?
DIDI - How about doing Michael Jackson's "Who's Loving You" or his song "Speechless". Either one of those would be great. Especially Who's Loving You. It would really show off your voice.
If you look at the version of Terrified she did you will see that when she walked in Simon kind of had a dismissive "lets get this one over with" demeanor about him, and she totally changed his opinion of her in a little over a minute. That was the SINGLE best performance of this season. In all her other performances she seems very affected by the fact that she is being "judged", but in this performance she seems to be in her own world just killing it without anyone else in the room. I hope she can do more of this because that is the "it" that wins American Idol. I'll be rooting for her to find that "zone" again.
Didi....the judges have no idea what they are talking about. You need to keep your spirit about you and hold your head up high! May I suggest instead of staying with your Ingrid Michaelson vibe, you try listening to a couple of the following artists? Brooke Fraser, Joy Whilock, Joy Williams, Jesi Kettering, or even Bethany Dillon? You have My votes! My wife and I really enjoy your performances, and we wish you the best in your career BEYOND Idol! _ Don
you really have a good voice but i dont think u are going 2 be in the top 12
Hey Didi... I am from Knoxville too! I went to your same middle school! Go Beavers! You are doing great! KTown is proud of you! :)
I too was a Karns Beaver! I think you're great - sing for you - that's the only one that has to be happy :-) Totally enjoy every performance.
Didi...I have been in music all of my life - which I have played the bass guitar for just about every genre of music. Even though I didn't pursue singing, I know immediately when I hear vocals if they have it or they don't. I will have to say even in spite of experiencing a few bobbles along the way, your vocals are absolutely phenomenal and powerfully moving. You have my vote all the way - because I believe you are right in what you feel...you are destined to win on the third go-around!
Ok...I was in the music Biz...Wake them up...try a jewel song with confidence, "Who Will Save Your Soul".
Music biz guy is right. Do some Jewel...3-11-10
Didi, you are doing great, Your best song was Terrified.
Pick another strong song and really get into it.
Let you voice through.
The last couple of songs have been to soft to showcase your talents.
Best of luck, knock this next one out of the park.
The women on this week's American Idol were pretty darn good. Music is one way of communicating through the lyrics of the song and the melody that it conveys. It is just so nice that there are competition like this wherein it does not search for the new singing sensation but they also develops their singing talent and their confidence.
**** URGENT! URGENT! URGENT! Didi I found you next song!!! and your sound. It's I'm Like A Bird by Nelly Furtado!! this id your voice you can rock this. I hope you read this and listen to the song cause I think this is the one!!!!

I tink Didi has alot of talent,I've been a musician all my life ( 50 yrs. ) and this young ladie has want it takes to be great.Don't let anyone tell you other wise. Go for it!
Jewel would be good for you. I do wish you many blessings from here on out. You are not a looser by any means. Keep on trucking lady.
What can you say I wish you would have played your guitar.My opinion the most atractive young woman that's been on Idol.I've been in this so called music business for 25 years.Get on to more song writing.Since you went to Belmont that's a plus.Don't let yourself get too down about this music business when things go wrong it bothered me.Hey girl your a beauty.I wish I could meet you.I would sing Italian love songs to ya.bye
I really wish DiDi would have stayed on longer. I LOVE her sound it made me happy. I guess her outrageous good looks helped a little bit. Sorry but I will see you out on tour thank god for that. take care
Didi stay with it I hope to buy your CD in the future. Your voice gives me chills every time I hear it!
