Lionel Richie said Kaya 'slayed' her audition and gave her famous father props for playing backup during the audition (via toofab)
The 22-year-old revealed she would be performing"This Tattoo," an original song she co-wrote with her father while he accompanied her on guitar.After she"slayed" her audition, the judges praised the"In Love With" singer for her performance.
"I'm going to tell you the truth, because the truth is what we are about," Richie commended the young singer."So, first of all, from the songwriting part of it and the pressure of being here, I give you so much props. And the fact that your dad showed up, I give him props. I mean, there's a whole lot of props here. In the midst of all of this, you slayed it. I love the tone of your voice and you're an artist; you're really an artist.
Though Bryan said Kaya's life-long experience with the stage was evident in her audition, Perry warned the"American Idol" hopeful that the judges would"probably be a bit more nit-picky" and"push her to her limit — and probably past it" as she"knows the business." With a resounding"yes" from all three judges, Kaya progressed to the next round and headed to Hollywood.
