I'll never find the words, my love

She could of chosen a better song. A song way more challenging. When she did Power of Love by Celine Dion, was her best performance. But yeah, she is much better than this song.

Her and Jennifer did not deserve to be the bottom 3 that week I would've put John and Camille in their place.
