❤❤❤❤👏👏👏she absolutely killed this song!!🙌 her voice fit this song 💯

Nice to see this side of her. The band killed it🎉

It has been a long while since a singer on this show has given me goosebumps. Abi has done so twice in three weeks with "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and now "Bring Me To Life". As Katy put it, she has kicked down all four walls of the box everyone thought she was in. She has showcased just how dynamic of an artist she could (and probably will) become. Abi should thank Luke, that song choice may just have propelled her to the top of many people's favorites list if she wasn't already there. Simply epic.

She's now a pop star performer.
