"sounding rehearsed" isn't the right word, because if you've rehearsed properly you're supposed to sound natural. The right thing to say is that she wasn't as connected with her feelings and her body, when she sang. And when he sang, you can clearly tell the difference. He sang from his heart, she sang from her brain.

He sang from the heart - a place of deep respect and care for her! How beautiful. I wish them both all the best in their idol journey

Hopefully being around Sam more and watching him explode will inspire her to unleash herself because she clearly has great talent as well. 🙌
