Lauren performs Sara Evans "Born to Fly"
Lauren, how did you think you did? Did you feel the difference between last week and this week? You're still not quite there, but that was so far beyond what you did last week, as to make me think you definitely deserve another week. Do you have that star quality? That something special that puts you on top of the world? You may just prove some of the naysayers wrong.


Afterthoughts
What if Ryan asked Simon, "Would you put Lauren through to the next round?"
Without a doubt, Lauren shows much more potential than some of the others who remain. I think she really just needs some more time building her confidence and accepting that she's got a really good voice so relax and have a little bit of fun with it.
