Later in the show, Wray performed a duet alongside Katharine McPhee which earned her praise from Idol judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.

“Watching you perform is like watching someone trying to keep a cap on a volcano,” Richie gushed.

“I think you’re the first singer that really held your own on stage with the other star,” Perry added.

“You’re giving me and all the judges just star sparkle,” Bryan said. “I mean I watched you onstage with a star be your own star and it was awesome, I loved it!”
