The couple then performed their original country song “Fast Forever”, with Kaylin in particular showing off her vocal chops. “Kaylin, your voice just cut through massively,” Bryan said afterward. “You’ve got a big, ‘stand out in the spotlight and let it rip’ voice.” He then noted that Matt’s voice was more “laid back” and “California” style. “I mean, he was in a complementary position,” Lionel Richie said, with Katy Perry adding, “Matt, you didn’t shine as much in the duet, but you definitely have a grit to your voice.” READ MORE: Jay Copeland Nabs Final Platinum Ticket After Performing Incredible Stevie Wonder Cover On ‘American Idol’ After pushing Matt to expand the range of his voice, the judges speculated that Kaylin might be more ready for the competition. “I’d be ready,” she agreed.
