Katie Stevens
Katie is first tonight. (Lilly Scott has the pimp spot)
Her song is Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway". It's a bit thin compared to the original. And slower. But okay.
Randy: A'ight, yo. Song was too big for you. Paled in comparison. Just didn't work for me. Didn't get it.
Ellen: Love that you took our note, picked a young song. Right song for you to sing. But I didn't feel you were breaking away, didn't take a risk.
Kara: We have people who really know themselves and people who don't. You haven't found yourself yet. You'll get it. I won't fault you for being young.
Simon: I think this has been very confusing for you. You take our advice. I would have suggested a different type of song. Kinda sucked the energy out of it, made it gloomy (yes).
Katie was 8 years old when Kelly Clarkson won the first Idol. Says she wants to be that kind of singer.
