He belted out “Rise” and had Perry standing on her feet by the end of it.

The “Roar” hitmaker only had praise for the contestant: “Wow, when you think the final nail is in… think again.
“I may’ve gone to Hollywood and I may’ve not gotten through but I kept fighting. I really think you chose the right song and you did it justice. You gave me full body chills, you made my face have chills, and those words were your words now. You have arrived and now is the time.”
