The girls of Lakoda Rayne wanted to dedicate the song to several family members. The whole performance is super cheesy and corny, but Paula Abdul was so excited and emotional that I don’t even have the courage to mention how badly it made me cringe.

L.A. Reid said he was prepared to not like it yet he disarmed by their great performance. What? Nicole Scherzinger’s verbatim: “I was watching you in concert!” Simon Cowell proclaimed that was their best performance to date in terms of who they are as a band and not the vocals. Cray cray Paula continued to cry her heart out.
