- Well done. Thank you very much.
Do you have a third song?
- [laughs] - No, I'm kidding,
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Okay.
- [laughs] - Okay, Sofía.
- Usually when Simon asks-- even though it's annoying,
when he asks for a second song, he's right.
This one was so much better. - Thank you.
- And your voice is beautiful.
- Thank you so much. [cheers and applause]
- You do have a beautiful voice,
but you're also very easy on the eyes.
- [chuckles] - I'm just, like, looking
at all these gorgeous girls right here,
and they have all little hearts in their eyeballs.
- I think you're gonna be able to come in off the street
and perform in a building like this
every night you want.
[cheers and applause]
- This was a really good audition.
You have a good voice.
If you go forward, you probably gotta go
a little bit outside your comfort zone.
And good for you, when we stopped you quick,
you just took a beat.
And then you really did deliver so much better
on the second song. So well done.
- Awesome. Thank you so much.
- Bravo. - Now the important part.
Howie, yes or no? - Yes.
- One. Heidi? - Yes.
- Two. Sofía? - Yes.
- Three.
And now you've got four yeses.
Congratulations.
[cheers and applause]
- Thank you so much.
