Lady K channeled her soulful vocals for a stirring rendition of “How Far I’ll Go” from “Moana.” Richie praised Lady K for the progress she’s made.
“You look like a star, you sound like a star,” Richie told Lady K. “More importantly, I want you to know that your growth from that beginning to now is unbelievable.”
Bryan said the performance “validated” the judges’ previous decision to save Lady K from elimination: “We’re so glad we had the opportunity to save you.”
Noah Thompson gave a heartfelt performance of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from “Toy Story,” which he dedicated to his friend Arthur, who encouraged him to audition for “Idol.”
“One of Noah’s greatest strengths is his personality,” Hough said in a prerecorded interview. “If he can capture that onstage, it’ll make America feel like we’re just one of his buddies singing along with him as well.”
