Candice Glover received not one, but two standing ovations on Wednesday’s “American Idol” performance finale.

The finalist performed three songs — “Chasing Pavements” (Simon Fuller’s choice), “I Am Beautiful” (coronation single), and “I Who Have Nothing” (contestant’s reprise choice).

The last two performances earned her the standing ovations.

“Oh my gosh, it’s just crazy. You’re such a powerhouse singer, Candice,” Keith Urban told her after “I Who Have Nothing.”

He continued, ”That song is like a planet exploding to life. Your mom crying was just breaking my heart down there.”

Nicki Minaj “loved that performance,” and noted, “I think what comes across from you is superstar commands the stage… The fact that you always walk on there and own it immediately, salute.”

Randy Jackson exclaimed, “That girl can plum flat-out sing! This is how you do it!”

“You just shot this whole night to another level, and that’s what I’ve been waiting on,” he added.

And Mariah Carey told Glover, ”It doesn’t matter if we heard you sing this particular song every single night of the competition. What you have is the innate ability to take any song and turn into a vehicle for that amazing voice that nobody can deny.”

“It surpasses what even I could have ever imagined I would see here,” Carey continued, adding, “I know I’m going to be listening to you for years to come.”

Candice Glover earned the only standing ovation on Wednesday’s “American Idol.”

Closing out the Top 3 performances, the contestant blew away the judges with her powerful, moving take on “Somewhere.”

“Oh my goodness. What was that?! What happened?! How do you do that?!” exclaimed Keith Urban.

He then added, ”If you want to vote for Candice call the number on your screen. If you don’t want to vote for Candice, call your doctor. You probably don’t have a pulse.”

Nicki Minaj was quick to the point with “Four words: See ya next week!”

Randy Jackson announced, “She had one of the greatest vocals in ‘Idol’ history. Guess what – she’s got another one!”

“This is like a singing lesson…” he added. “Oh my god, I’m so proud of you.”

Candice Glover received a standing ovation for an “amazing” Bruno Mars cover on “American Idol” on Wednesday.

The Top 4 singer belted out “If I Was Your Man,” and wowed the judges with her vocals.

“You can sing anything,” Randy Jackson told Glover. “This girl right here, that’s how you sing a song. Congratulations, that was amazing!”

Mariah Carey agreed, saying, “Candice knows how to take any song and has the musicality to change it to suit her. And that’s what separates her from almost everyone else in the competition.”

Keith Urban told Glover she had no reason to be worried about singing a song from a man’s perspective, and told her, “When you sing that good Candice, that’s a winning performance right there, baby.”

And Nicki Minaj admitted, “That performance actually deserved a standing ovation, so excuse us, darling,” prompting the panel to stand up belatedly.

“You were the first girl tonight to make the song feel like it was your own song written for you, performing for your own fans,” said the rapper.
