Simon Cowell, known for his critical eye, agreed that the performance was special.
“I loved the song choice actually… For me, it showed a different part of your voice. That’s what I call a kind of a moment performance… you’ve never given up over all these years, and you could have done, but you haven’t. Timing is everything.”
Amid the competition, Sanchez also shared her joy about experiencing two milestones simultaneously.
“I keep telling my baby, I’m like, ‘Please just stay in there another week. God willing, I make it to the finals.’ You know I’m just so blessed and grateful,” she said.
