Tell us the kind of artist you

Should be, and you look like

That all-american boy.

I think it kind of suits you,

You know?

But I think you've been very

Lucky to have me on the panel

Today, andrew.

It was very, very theatrical,

Though.

I feel like you turned that song

Into almost a broadway song.

And there were some parts where

I felt that you pose a lot.

You study so much every single

Movement that I was just

Predicting was gonna happen.

blake, what--what kind of

Singer would you like to be?

r&b, soulful singer.

yeah, my focal point is my

Mom.

Her birthday is Sunday, and she

Passed away.

no!

yeah, so this is the reason

Why...

oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm here.

This is the moment that I've

Been waiting for, the moment

That my mother...

[voice breaking] would have been

Proud to see me accomplish.

I was , going on the age of

, when I got the devastating

News that my mother was

m*rder*d.

It was the worst moment of my

Life.

I visited her grave this year,

And I talked to her.

I told her all the things that

Were going on, but it's

Something that you never get

Get over, 'cause you want your

Mom here cheering you on for

Those moments that mean so much

To you.

I know that our mom is

Looking down, and she's proud.

She's proud.

It's a wonderful birthday gift

For her.

the fact that she can't be

Here right now is just something

I try not to think about because

It'll get me down.

I try to stay positive, but

Honestly, I use that as a way

To fuel my dream...

'cause life is too short.

You never know what's gonna

Happen.

ashly, the judges are ready

For you--right up those stairs.

this is it.

My mother is not here with me

Today, but this is me

Dedicating my life and my soul

To making my dreams happen for

Her.

okay, what is interesting

About you?

what's interesting?

I'm working on it.

okay.

What are you gonna sing?

I'm going to sing

Whitney houston,

I will always love you.

okay, good luck.

thank you.
