I really agree that the piano was just distracting her at times. She was changing the tempo when she was delayed in hitting the keys. Luckily her vocals are so extraordinary that it didn't matter much in this case, but she'd be much more effective without it.

I remember Lindsey Sterling's early days. The dancing was in the way of her violin technique. But she worked hard and look now. Sure the nerves themselves had Olivia behind the piano. I think over time Olivia's playing will also relax and become more of an asset. I wouldnt say "dont play and sing" but when, pracrice and do not use in a prrformance until its all togerher and the piano is second nature. Olivia's voice though here is simply a joy to listen to. The base tone is so natural and comes out so purely. She adds her own to the song. The emotion and expression is there in parts but i agree she can grow more musically. I don't need to hear the original intention of the sing. I want to hear Olivia to keep singing this song and think of a loved one and bring MORE her own emotional intention to the song. I want to hear more of her voice.

Your ability to look past Olivia’s skillful vocal performance and tune into her areas of growth amazes me. Yes, the piano seems to be a distraction and I can say that from personal experience. Playing and singing is extremely difficult if you are not skilled at the former. In the future, I believe that Olivia can make a stronger emotional impact if she thoughtfully chooses when to use certain dynamics in her voice. Her pitch, range, agility, and tone are noteworthy, though.

Clark Beckham (Season 14 runner up who does Idol recaps on his channel) shared similar thoughts about her piano playing and how it would have been even better if she just sang. Still a pretty strong audition though, I think she'll be one to look out for.

Very astute observations. It was actually nice to see you express your frustration so emphatically 🙂 You would think her instructor or mentor etc would have given her the advice to omit the piano. Tyson, on the other hand, managed both the vocals and playing with superb skill.

Agreed. The "identity" of the song was undecided. The identity of the singer was realized. No doubt she has a great voice and will grow and figure herself out more. Agreed about breathing and distracted by playing the piano.

[She needs help] That's why she is on the show, to get that help and improve herself. Maybe the Voice coach should do a first audition and a last audition. Those nerves must be going bonkers for these artists. She will have been coached at the end. Luke said the same drop the piano.

I think what you are forgetting here is that they are not looking for a perfect vocal audition,, they are looking for vocals, charisma, talent, passion, etc.... they take that ALL into consideration,, and I am sure they realized that since she was playing piano it took away form her vocals,,, you are stating obvious things that she and the judges probably both knew,, that being said she wanted to show not only could she sing but she also played and instrument and i personally think she made a wise wise choice!
