Young Singer Nails Tina Turner's 'Simply The Best' - More Music

A young woman turned in a spectacular performance, nailing her cover of Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best” on American Idol.

The latest season of American Idol is moving along quickly, swiftly approaching its inevitable conclusion. The judges – Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan – have whittled the group of aspiring singers down, sending many of them home after they failed to meet and exceed their expectations.

The program has reached the portion of the season where the American public has a say in who stays and goes home. So now, not only are the participants performing for the three judges, but they must also win the hearts and votes of people watching at home. 

From the thousands who tried out to the hundreds who made it onto the show, only 24 singers remain. Now, the contestants are in Hawaii, at Disney’s Aulani resort, where they all take the stage and sing in front of a live audience on the beach.

One of the people who has made it through the series of cuts is Nya. In a clip posted on YouTube, the young woman takes the stage and dazzles the audience and those watching at home with a beautiful rendition of a timeless classic from the late Tina Turner, “Simply the Best.”

As Nya sings two of the song’s verses, it’s clear that everyone loves what they hear from the young woman. They shout, cheer and clap, showing her their approval and appreciation. However, when she reaches the song’s memorable chorus, the audience really lets her hear it.

“You’re simply the best

Better than all the rest

Better than anyone

Anyone I’ve ever met”

Nya is an incredibly talented young singer who will be tough to beat. It will be interesting to see how far her talented and unique-sounding voice will take her in the competition.
