I had the pleasure of seeing this at finals, and daaaamn, girl, this was so solid. I loved it. I'm really glad you're only a junior so that I can listen to what other talent you whip out next year. Thanks for the words, and best of luck!

Whip it, girlfran. Whip it.

This girl had so much power in her voice. It was hard to sit not weeping and I could feel what she felt; what she was saying. By far, the best performer of the night. God bless her heart.

You are amazing young lady...I am so damn proud of you..
