VIDEOAngie Miller revisited her original audition song on Wednesday’s “American Idol” to tremendous success.
The singer again performed Jessie J’s “Who You Are,” the track that gave her a ticket to Hollywood.
This time, Miller received a standing ovation, an amazing reaction that came after harsh critiques of fellow Top 4 contestants Candice Glover and Kree Harrison.
“That was like a mini, short representation of why I have such confidence in you as an artist,” Keith Urban told Miller, commending her for loosening up as the performance went on.
Mariah Carey, who explained she didn’t stand up because her dress was caught on her chair, said, “Blowing you kisses and standing up in spirit.”
“The caliber of that performance was beyond,” continued the music icon. ”That was a professional moment.”
Nicki Minaj told Miller that “there’s no one that compares to you that’s in this competition when you are behind the piano. No one.”
“You sing like this was an awards show. You won an award and you’re closing the awards show,” said the rapper, adding, “It was exceptional.”
And Randy Jackson noted, “You made me forget that was a Jessie J song. That was an Angie song. ”
“This, to me, is the best performance so far of the night…,” he added. ”That’s how you win!”
