The teen dedicated the song to a good friend who helped her through a difficult stage of her life. Drew’s voice is incredible. She was feeling the song, which explains why she was a bit overwhelmed by emotions and failed to hit those higher notes. Anyhow, Drew did it again! Love this girl!

L.A. Reid was totally out of his mind when he said the song is for 40 year-old people, claiming she needs to do age appropriate music. Drew was absolutely shocked and explained exactly what the song means to her and a lot of young girls out there. Nicole Scherzinger loved it, while Paula Abdul reminded L.A. that song is sung by a young artist.

Simon Cowell had enough. “I’m sick to death of your pointless, stupid criticism,” he told L.A. “This is a young girl’s song. You are talking complete and utter rubbish.” Take that, L.A. The truth is the boys’ mentor never has one good thing to say to Drew. Why? Is L.A. scared of the real competition?
