Lionel Richie AMAZED By Cover Of HIS SONG On American Idol 2023 | Idols Global

[@stevescott6503]

That girl not only has a voice, she has personality. A winning combination for sure.

[@mediamannaman]

Lionel Richie is one of the most prolific singer-songwriters of the rock era. He was a hit machine in the 70's and 80's, and even wrote some in the 90's and beyond. Few people have written (music and lyrics) and performed more hit songs than him (Paul McCartney comes to mind). When he gushes like this about a performance of one of his songs, you know that you are special.

[@melissaarispe1551]

She sang that so well.lionel does a beautiful job singing this song.❤❤

[@DannyintheSpirit]

Yah, but he has to say he liked it.

[@monicavillarreal3902]

It she wouldn't have sang it well, he would have told her. ​@DannyintheSpirit

[@DannyintheSpirit]

I don't think so. He didn't want to hurt her feelings and have her feel less confident about pursuing her dream.

[@rolandobarboza4267]

Wao. Que bien lo has dicho!!

[@masalamouth]

She didn't come to play, she came to slay... And that's exactly what she did!❤

[@A1PROVOXXLLC]

She owned this song from beginning to end. Stellar performance💯👏🏽🥰

[@johnpauljones9310]

She over sang it. But she was trying to show off her range.

[@kellyt8836]

I agree. She over sang it. Don’t really care for her version. I wouldn’t listen to this song again if it was my first time hearing it.

[@Bobaman5400]

Meh. Too much note stretching
