(Similarly, Tuesday’s standout, Lillie McCloud, also has a noteworthy history overlooked by the show.)
“You have the look, the best voice that I heard. This industry is ready for you,” Lovato told Potter.
And Simon Cowell said, “It felt like to me you’ve wanted to give this performance for a long, long time and you proved a point….You got four big fat yesses.”
