The latest episode of American Idol Season 20 featured 12 contestants (out of 24) at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawaii.
Danielle Finn was one of the participants who performed live to impress judges and audiences. Despite trying her level best, she couldn’t entirely win hearts in Episode 10. She chose to showcase her vocal skills by singing Your Song by Elton John.
Finn appeared on stage after some great performers such as Jay Copeland, Elli Rowe, and Tristen Gressett.
What do fans have to say?
Celebrity singer Jimmie Allen mentored the participants in the latest episode. Before getting on stage, Danielle Finn had a chat with Allen, and the former revealed that she was nervous because Katy Perry was not impressed with her previous performance.
After a confidence boost from Allen, she went on stage and performed Your Song by Elton John. After the performance, Perry said that Finn’s rendition was cool, but it wasn't perfect. Luke Bryan agreed with Perry’s verdict and advised the 17-year-old to own the stage. Lionel Richie asked her to relax while performing on stage.
Fans were not particularly happy with the performance either. Take a look at their response to Finn’s performance:
