After getting some amazing mentorship from country star Jimmie Allen, Nicolina took to the stage at Disney’s Aulani resort in Hawai’i to sing “Elastic Heart”.

Showing off her incredible voice, the 18-year-old singer did Sia right, with powerful vocals and a palpable emotional connection to the song.
“I’ve always thought that you were one of, if not the best singer in the competition, you always deliver,” Luke Bryan told her afterward. “We’re outside, we’re not getting sound necessarily like we would in a big theatre, but you really, really delivered all of the emotions. It was one of those I could really sit back and enjoy the quality of your voice, and I loved the performance.”
Next, Lionel Richie asked, “What are we gonna do with you? You handle the stage like you were born to it. Your voice is angelic and mesmerizing. One of my favourites in this whole competition is you. You are a star, enjoy this ride.”
“Well I’ve always thought you sounded like a star,” Katy Perry added, “but when you walked on stage I go, ‘Hmmmmm, she look like a star, too, now!'”
