  • Judges' Comments

    • Randy: "I've got to tell you I didn't think it was amazing but there were a few pitchy parts in the beginning. You definitely started stepping up towards the end."
    • Paula: "It wasn't just the end. I think you are a very smart girl. You've got it all worked out. Kristy Lee Cook, I'm like, blown away. You could have a hit with it in the country western world. I'm so proud of you.
    • Simon: "You probably weren't jumping for joy when you heard it was Mariah Carey week. You didn't give me chills. I think you managed with what you could, it was a little bit whiny at times. This was never going to be an advantage for you, it just wasn't great.
