Simon Cowell must be really proud of himself for bringing Melanie back to the competition because she is indeed a great singer. Although her vocal performance was almost perfect, Melanie lacks a certain charisma, that “je ne sais quoi” the show is supposedly looking for.

L.A. Reid praised the song choice and Simon Cowell for bringing her back. Nicole Scherzinger said there are no limits for what Melanie’s voice can do. Paula Abdul compared the singer to fine china, while Simon admitted that he had no idea how good she really was.
