One of the most beautiful strong performance of a classic soul song!

I too am a mom of an adopted Guatemalan baby girl. I felt so proud of her and cried the whole time. What an amazing voice and spirit. I hate she doesn’t feel she fits. I too have heard the same. I am such a fan. ❤

She will be a winner AI 2024🎉🎉❤❤

That girl has got soul!

It's one of the best American Idol auditions ever!!! Top ten!!!!

She is a beautiful soul. Bless her and both of her families. So happy to see a fellow Mainer, blow them off the water! ❤

How about a platinum ticket for Julia's Maine family for raising such a beautiful young woman.

Absolutely beautiful performance. I'm 🙏 that she'll win.

Oh my goodness! Can we say WINNER? I wasn't even going to watch the rest of this season until I came across Julia's audition. She is the only reason I'm watching the rest of it. Beautiful soul and gifted singer. Rooting for Julia Gagnon!!!!!!!! She's an incredible blessing to both her mothers and fathers, as they are to her. ❤

Such a good soul

Great performance by a humble vocalist. Well done👊🏻
