Man Nya was my front runner at the beginning but she's gotta pick better songs to make it past top 10 at this point.

Y’all hating in these comments. She sounds flawless and even made the song her own. If you want the original go listen to it. It’s that simple. Beautifully done Nya!

[robertantonnyc]

Love this for her, current, sexy, shows personality, sounded great in her voice while she commanded the stage, in her usual Diva manner.

[Taviarenechin]

She has her own style that’s what I love about her. She made it her own song and didn’t mimic it

[NullErrorFailure]

Bold song choice for the competition but she sang it very well

[FergieVlogJM]

Girl REALLY can sing. This performance reminds me of her first audition. Love her!🤍💃🏽

[monica-crystalarandia]

Classy + Sexy = Sassy. Gorgeous looks and talent to back it up. Always seems so effortless for her!

[DoctorScott-xj]

She could have sung it on a higher note .. different pitch ..note (higher key)
Or mid way transpose the song ..still her voice is capable enough for any music genre .. amazing talent

[Dority]

Not the best song choice, but Nya is one of my favorites. However, there is a lot of great singers on this year so I have alot of favs.

[yvonnepetersen]

As a South African I am very proud to hear her sing Water. Imagine how Proud Tyla is.

[AdamDaze]

Total fail by the band, eliminating that iconic amapiano drum/bass line. The core essence of the track.

[johnharvey]

all the judges choices were great and it’s sad that america quote on quote can’t see they are stars

[bohlalenchabeleng]

After a second listen admittedly she did good. I was too harsh on her. Well done girl.

[davidhill]

Don’t say that it’s a bad song choice. Say that it’s a bold song choice.

[MsNeNe]

Reason I’m watching!! First season in years and I’m hooked bc of this gal!!! Amazing.

[barbaramoore]

I love Nya!! She sang it better than the original….what a voice!!! ❤❤❤❤

[andrewdewayne]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I just can’t believe they voted her off the show. She was one of the most talented vocalist they have ever had on here she should’ve won. She gave variety in terms of her material that she performed and she had a dynamic range. this girl is it superstar and I’m sure this won’t be the last time we hear from her once again American Idol has gotten it wrong voting off some of the most talented individuals they’ve had on the show now the show has lost complete appeal because there’s no real competitors on the show or there’s no variety. They have settled for singing one genre of music and folk or rock this girl has sung a variety of different genres and still they’re not satisfied. I just know that she’s gonna be major and we’ll see her on the stage somewhere soon on Broadway off Broadway or maybe even cutting a demo she was one of the greatest. I still can’t believe they voted her off.❤❤❤❤

[duket.]

Please give her a *FAN*. This was not the right song choice, but clearly she has starpower

[HeroShades]

I love Nya! I am a big fan of her. I didn't like the song for her, and I didn't think this was her best. It was still great regardless. She deserves to be in the top 14. I'm just afraid she is gonna go home next week because Facebook grannies are not digging her style. I just hope she goes out on a high note next week if she doesn't get voted through. Country music is very popular in America as Facebook loves that music. They've been very reliable. She needs to do something to get country fans on board.

[OliGrubb]

Loved the energy and vocals! I hope she makes it through……..come on America, be progressive like you say you are 👀
