As per NBC, Vergara asked Mandel to offer his feedback to Rosalita, and Mandel quipped, "Oh, you are amazing, and you are so cute like, even when you talk to us. I predict you are gonna go far in this competition."
Following that, Vergara asked Klum, "Heidi, what did you think?" to which the latter replied, "I think you were incredible. What I want to know is what do your neighbors say when you rehearse these types of songs?" While answering Klum's question, Rosalita said, "They got surprised." Speaking about Rosalita's vocals and tone, Klum went on to say, "It is so high, you would think like a glass would explode. I mean Mariah (Carey) better watch out."
According to Billboard, Cowell was also enthused about his singing, "That was an incredible audition. There were parts during that audition that literally gave me goosebumps. You have an amazing voice. An amazing personaity. An amazing energy. Everyone is gonna fall in love with you after this audition."
