The judges all agreed it was a little pitchy all over. Steven Tyler thanked Naima for bringing some flavor to the stage. Jennifer Lopez told her to be more in control and learn how to breathe, but recognized she’s got fire and owned the stage like a big star.

Wow. I’m impressed not by Naima’s vocal performance, but by her creativity and ability to surprise us. She sang, she danced and even rapped. And it wasn’t that bad… it was actually quite entertaining.
