Teen singer Nicolina was one of the final performers of the evening during Hollywood Week of ‘American Idol’ Season 20 and she proved to be one of the highlights of the episode after she delivered an enthralling performance on Billie Eilish’s ‘Everything I Wanted’. The Canadian native appeared in the pop genre and sailed through the next round but not before Katy Perry made her sweat.
 
Nicolina, who won the golden ticket in the auditions for her rendition of ‘She Used to Be Mine’ by Sara Bareilles continued her dominance with her latest performance. Nicolina took the live audience on an emotional ride as they gave her a standing ovation. When it came to results, Katy decided to give it a little twist after she split the group of four into front and back row. Nicolina ended up in the back row when Katy said, “Front row, you are going through “which left Nicolina shocked. However, Katy after a dramatic pause added, “Back row, you are also going through” leaving everyone relieved. For the unversed, Nicolina had also reportedly auditioned for Season 16 of ‘American Idol’ but could not advance to the live shows. Her audition too was not aired on television.
