As she performed “Goodbye My Lover” by James Blunt, her soft, soulful voice echoed through the room. In an instant, Cowell withdrew his palm from the red buzzer, and the judges began to warm up to the Montreal musician.

A standing ovation ensued as she deftly moved into a violin solo during the bridge, ramped up the intensity of the outro, and continued the performance.
