People
Vonzell Solomon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People who need people,
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children, needing other children
And yet letting a grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world...
The lyrics to Vonzell Solomon's song "People" make a strong statement about the importance of human connection and need for others. The opening line "People, people who need people" emphasizes the idea that humans are dependent on one another for support and happiness. The following lines, "Are the luckiest people in the world," suggest that those who recognize and embrace this need for human connection are truly fortunate.
The next set of lines, "We're children, needing other children, And yet letting a grown-up pride, Hide all the need inside, Acting more like children than children" further explores the concept of human dependence. The idea that we are all like children, in needing others, is juxtaposed with the notion that we let our adult pride hide this need, thus behaving even more childishly than children themselves. This creates a sense of irony and emphasizes the importance of being open and vulnerable with others instead of constantly putting on a façade of maturity.
The final lines of the song, "With one person, one very special person, A feeling deep in your soul, Says you were half, now you're whole, No more hunger and thirst, But first be a person who needs people, People who need people.are the luckiest people in the world," reveal that while all human connection is important, finding one special person who can fulfill your emotional needs is especially powerful. The suggestion that this one person can make you feel "whole" and satiated in all areas of life speaks to the depth of human need for love, companionship, and emotional fulfillment.

Amazing its years later and this performance is still so very relevant to me!! I love Carrie but Vonzell should've won this year!

One of the best performances of the season and she was in the bottom 2??? wtf America!

Looking back at 2021: Having witnessed her performances in this season, the way she performed better and better from the audition till the finals, I was surprised to learn that she's the only one not getting a contract from any label from that season! Can you imagine it? She could have been another Whitney, Chaka, Diana, and Dionne, if she was given a chance. What a waste!

Facts. After Ruben and Fantasia didn't sell huge #s (white ppl don't buy rnb albums) they were hell bent on making sure another blk person didn't win that year. Carrie was cute, country and could sing her face. Cash cow. But Vonz didn't get a fair shake.

I think she sang this song amazingly. Her voice does get a little thin in the higher notes, but I think she executed the last note perfectly and overall she was a better performer Season 4. Its amazing to see the transformation from heatwave to her last AI performance. Carrie sang every song the same, vonzell showed more versatility. Both great singers, especially within their own genres!

Vonzelle was the real champ! Carrie usually sang basic songs with simple chord progressions and a predictable "big note" at the end. Vonzelle, on the other hand, really utilized the extremes of her vocal range, and had the most challenging song arrangements. Simon's inaccurate and disparaging comments - and obvious favour toward Carrie - really hurt Vonzelle!
