Other than her timing .. she is incredible .. she needs to let it flow together .. a great vocal flows. Especially with that lyric and that melody." Another fan wrote, "I think to much theatrics distracted me from what her voice. She has so many runs it was a bit distracted but I can tell if was a great performance. I agree with Lionel to much performance, she needs to be natural."
