"It's out of my comfort zone, but it's a side of my voice" "I definitely want to show the coaches, and it's a big risk just because it's not what I normally sing." "You hit those notes with so much strength, it's very impressive, but be sure that you're enunciating and you're clear with the verses." "I don't feel as prepared as I did with the other songs." "This next knockout is one of the biggest things I've ever done." "I definitely have to go out there and just destroy it."
