• Judges' Comments

  • Randy: "For me I didn't really love it. I felt like I was at a weird beach luau and somebody was playing music in the distance. I didn't really get it."

  • Paula: "I'd love to be at that luau listening all night long. You're getting so confident and so in that zone, it's just lovely to hear you."

  • Simon: "Jason, I have to agree with Paula. Wasn't the best vocal of the night, but it identified with you. It was a cool version. The guys completely won the night."
