The audition was good, but it wasn't 'pitch perfect', and neither was this last performance. I can see why people like her, but I don't know that she will win the competition. I don't know what the other contestants are like, either. So far, I'm not seeing a lot of potential for making albums people will want to listen to.
She kind of sounds like Julie Andrews, but without the 'joie de vivre'[size="-1"] and technical clarity. Interesting that she chose a song very similar in style to the first one she sang.
