As Morris took on the stage, she explained that she would be using a looping device -- one that lets you record audio and play it on loop. In doing so, Morris was able to record herself playing multiple instruments in real-time, making her a literal one-woman band that had the judges and audience impressed. When it came down to it, Simon Cowell noted that it was a 'bit of a mess' at times, but explained that for performances as dynamic as hers, perfection was not the point. He claimed that what she did was 'absolute genius', with Morris bagging four yeses from the judges. Fans on YouTube had nothing but positive things to say about her performance as well.
