Judge Lionel Richie commented that Ronda Felton sang with power at first but then lost her breath, Funke Lagoke sang well from start to finish but had a few problems. While Lionel was in the middle of speaking, Funke Lagoke suddenly collapsed on stage. Lionel panicked and ran up while Katy Perry was so shocked she couldn't speak.
