Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Her audition: Juliette Ojeda, 20, Miami, Fla., performed “Hopelessly Devoted to You” by Olivia Newton John: Juliette began the song in Spanish, switched to English and back again in what turned into into a high-energy performance. It took a while, but Gwen Stefani turned, followed by Niall Horan and Reba McEntire. Gwen said she loves Juliette’s energy and spirit. Niall called the performance “crazy” in a really good way. Juliette decided to join Team Gwen.
