Bryan, who predicted Bishop would win the show after her first audition, told her he's "never heard you hit a bad note this whole competition."
"That was yet another glimpse into your future and what you can be," he added.
Bishop returned with her rocker edge for her second song, "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette.
Perry said Bishop delivered the "whirlwind" she was looking for.
"Way to be possessed by personality," she added. "Keep bringing that kind of stage presence and energy."
Heavy machine operator Chayce Beckham, 24, took the stage next, giving a rendition of "Magic" that brought all three judges to their feet.
"Half of the game is you have the confidence. The other half of the game is that you’re having fun," Richie advised. "Enjoy the ride, my man."
Perry praised Beckham's vocals, but added she wished he took Martin's advice to let a strand of his slicked-back hair fall in front of his face.
