She made it through on her backstory. The voice was nothing special.
She'll also be gone before the finals.

I would have LOVED to see the look on her face as this was airing.
Little miss prissy bitch tells all her friends and family to tune in and
watch her get to Hollywood, gloating being stuck up the whole time she's
on air, only to have all three judges say how annoying she was after she
walked out of the room. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
On her attitude alone, she'll also be an early cut.

I wasn't impressed.

How many times do people have to see it before they finally figure it
out - at an audition where your singing determines your success, NO
JOPLIN! Even the judges told her to sing something else.
Janis was not a good singer. You don't see anyone singing Purple Haze
for the same reason.

Major major loser. The idiot CHOSE to move into his car, then cries on
camera about how lonely he is and how he just knows it will all be worth
it someday. Yeah... when your 1987 Taurus blows a head gasket.
Hey loser! Go the hell home if you're so damn lonely! You've been living
rent free for nearly a year and still can't even afford a hotel room?
LOSER!
When you CHOOSE to live in their car for a year and then cry the blues
about it, you are going to be lonely, dumbass.
Honestly, that kid is about the biggest loser I've ever seen on this show.
