Nutsa’s Lady Marmalade performance received a standing ovation from Katy Perry. However, the Firework singer did say that she thought Nutsa turned it up “too hot.”

American Idol judge Lionel Richie said that Nutsa “brought it to the table.”

Katy then asked Nutsa to perform a second song. She opted for Whitney Houston’s Greatest Love Of All.
