The control of her vocal range and vibrato were both very impressive, especially for a girl her age. She also had a very strong stage presence and was not shy at all in front of the large crowd, suggesting that she has had a previous experience in music and performing.

Two judges turn around simultaneously after she belted a very powerful part of the song showing her impressive range. Stella had a lot of great passion that shined in her performance as well, you could tell she was a huge fan of musicals and the old school classic style.

The judges who chose her were definitely invested into listening to her, one of them stood up and was swaying to the music while listening to her. While she didnt turn any more chairs, you could tell that this was a great performance for all to attend, audience as well judges alike. Through these covers and performances classics like Grease will always live on, especially in young fans!
