I hope Kolbi gets to meet Patti in person and sing with her.

I love that Jelly Roll is like a proud dad with all the contestants. No ego, no judgment. Just pure encouragement and support!

[Katkit]

She's back! Sang girl!!! Hit those runs! Those high notes? Don't play with me!!!!

[skti]

Her musical ear is stellar and I’m glad she didn’t overdo it this time with the runs. I also love that her fun personality comes out on stage. Could hear her on the radio and if she’s interested could also see her doing Broadway

[livelljames]

Every singer on this show is amazing, but dang, she showed out!

[carselevators]

She definitely has a new attitude with that big voice! And that run at 1:58! Patti would be proud!

[only__marie]

Just put her in the music studio. Powerful voice, talented, and a wonderful personality!!!

[skti]

Back to say I really love the way the song was arranged. Up tempo but not too fast. And allowed some slower groovy moments that gave her some room to play. The Idol band and musical team are top tier.
