After the performance, Judge Katy perry said, “Grace, what a voice.” Judge Luke Bryan asked what her second song would be and Grace replied “Natural woman by Aretha Franklin.

Grace told Chicago’s Daily Herald the decision to audition with the song was meant as a tribute to her dad. I have a video from when I was younger; he videotaped me singing ‘Natural Woman.’ So I was like, it would be really cool to pay tribute to him by singing that song for the audition,”
Before the performance, Judge Katy Perry offered a critique saying,” You’re gonna sing Natural Woman… The legend that is Carole King wrote it, the legend that is Aretha Franklin sang it, you need to sing it like the legend you want to be. Tall order. Don’t phone it in; make me feel it. Sing ‘Natural Woman’ to me like I never heard it before,”

For her second song of the audition. Grace performed Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin.
After the performance, Judge Lionel Richie said, “You actually have control of that amazing instrument.” Judge Luke Bryan told her, “I get brought to tears by stories and backgrounds of what people have been through and their struggles, but this is the first time in four years that just someone’s singing made me cry.” The performance earned yes votes from all three, earning her a golden ticket and a trip to Hollywood week.
