Team Katie is out in force, holding up signs with Katie Stevens' face on them. Katie picked Wild Horses -- no real surprise there -- and she says the lyrics spoke to her because Wild Horses couldn't drag her away from this moment. Ryan wonders how significantly she knew about the Stones this week (just a little, it turns out) and tries to trip her by asking her the lead singer's name. ("Mick Jagger ... " she replies tentatively, searching like she expects a trick question.) Throughout the intro segment, we get to determine Katie's very first public overall performance -- she had pitch problems even then.

She appears like a moth caught in the backlight on the stage as the song begins. Lovely tone, in her reduced register. She seems a lot more comfy since it builds just a little, and she stays in an admittedly broad comfort and ease zone throughout the song, but it is not really a bravura overall performance or anything.

Randy considers she sang pretty well, correcting a couple small pitch difficulties.

Ellen considers it began pitchy but improved once she got into it.

Kara says it is in no way technically perfect with Katie, but she thinks she's moving in the correct direction.

Simon considers it's the only week she's selected a powerful song. (Of course, it is -- after all, he's fast to remind us, he recorded that really song with Susan Boyle.) Not insane concerning the second half of the arrangement, but he thinks she gave it a hundred percent. Free Wild Horses Lyrics
