Steven Tyler loved it, but asked Lauren to take on bigger and more confident performers like Allison Krause, Shania Twain or Faith Hill. Jennifer Lopez said Lauren has so much character and color in her notes, but thinks she is holding back and not believing in herself. Randy Jackson proclaimed Lauren can sing anything and must challenge herself.

Seriously? I thought that was totally predictable and kind of boring. Where is Lauren’s confidence? This girl basically challenged Steven for a sing off during her first audience. So where is that fearless girl? Lauren needs to stop holding back and take one huge risk.
