Despite his nerves, Heidi Klum praised him for his performance, while Simon Cowell encouraged Richard to start believing in himself, although he felt the song choice was a bit "too old-fashioned." Sofia Vergara described the performance as "so beautiful," and Howie Mandel concluded by urging the audience to vote for Richard.
