CARLY ROSE SONENCLAR sang ‘Rollling In The Deep’ by Adele.

Judges’ comments: LA: “You are insanely talented. And you are very lovable but for me, that was not your best performance. But even your second best is better than everyone’s best.” Demi: “I’m not even your mentor and I am proud of you. You are doing amazing. I got nothing you are so good.” Simon: “I thought the first half of the song was good. I thought the second half of the song was sensational. I think you as a 13 year old can sell CD’s but because you’re not human you may have to be disqualified. Aliens cannot compete.” Britney: “We had to take a risk and it was sensational.”
