Jayna Elise sang “Diamonds” by Rihanna. Afterwards, Katy said, “That was so balanced and measured. You have finally reached your 100 percent Jayna Elise. You’re such a pro.” Luke said, “Your looks are thought out. That was a timeless, professional performance. Don’t let off the gas.” Lionel said, “You take any song and turn it into you. That’s amazing. Your stage presence is something we can’t teach.”

Give us more of that angst.” Katy said, “I believed what you sang. I want to see more of the Elvis stuff incorporated.” Luke said, “It’s a different kind of night. This was a 15 year old performance.”
