Judge Randy Jackson said, "I love the whole vibe of that," adding that she can tap into the soulfulness of Etta James even though she's only 16, declaring that she could "sing the phone book," as the old saying goes.
Jennifer Lopez said, "I’m happy to see that the growl was there from the very beginning" and that she thought it was "crazy" and that she could easily compete with any bigtime singer out right now. "[You're] one of the best I’ve seen in a long time."
Steven Tyler, said, "You just nailed that," and that he loved it because it showed "the other side" of her voice and shook off the old her as she becomes a new artist. (Source)
