GUEST JUDGE #1
irst of all, I wanted to say that I never realized how young you were! I wouldn't have realized it either with how mature your voice sounds. There were some points where your voice sounded nice, but there were also other parts where you sounded a bit out of line or out of pitch, but that isn't surprising coming from a younger singer. What I wasn't a big fan of were the obnoxiously loud high notes that you held out for way too long. It's one thing to hit a high note for a few seconds and then go back to the song, but it felt like you were only hitting them just to show off, which I strongly dislike. In the future, make sure that you stick with the song and do not try to show off your vocals in a way that distracts from the music and goes too far; Christina Aguilera used to do this all the time and now she is starring in Oreo commercials. As for the song, I honestly couldn't understand a lot of it but it seemed decent, and it did fit the theme well, which I appreciated. The only thing I have left to say is that you should do more songs in the vein of the more subtle portions of your performance, specifically the beginning where your voice sounded calm and mature.
