A fan wrote, "Ummm, not no but…@Nutsa performance! Absolutely horrible." Calling the performance "over the top" a fan tweeted, "I really don't like Nutsa, that was over the top and just a mess. Except the move at the end...I like that. Otherwise in my opinion she is a NO. And the judges need to judge." Another user raised a question, "Why are the producers pushing Nutsa? She’s the only non American on American Idol. She oversings everything. I’m sure she kills in Dubai but she has no nuances. She just belts out every single song."
