Myra decided to sing one of Jennifer Hudson’s songs, ‘One Night Only.’ The emotions she displayed through singing the song were profound and touched each of the judges separately. Although she is still in high school, her vocal ability feels like she’s been practicing her technique for decades! Myra moved to the United States from her homeland of Vietnam only a year ago. While she is still working on assimilating into the culture in America, she knew that her vocal ability would be able to cross all boundaries. When she was younger, she grew up longing to compete on ‘American Idol,’ and now that she finally made it, she’s pulling out all of the stops to impress the judges.

No one was expecting such a petite girl to have such a large and impactful voice, but Myra bared it all when she performed. Katy Perry, one of the judges on the show, even was so shocked that her jaw dropped during the performance. Luke Bryan, another judge on the panel, even compared her to the superstar who got her start on the show, Kelly Clarkson. Myra was clearly overwhelmed by all of the positive feedback and was moved to tears during the judging panel. Clearly, everyone decided that Myra needed to move forward in the competition, and everyone is eager to see how she competes throughout her weeks on the show. Surely, she'll go far and go on to do great things in the musical field!
