Judge's commentary:
Randy: "There were some parts about it I liked. I actually liked the arrangement and the idea of the song. It's just vocally ... you were trying to force some runs into it ... You could have left it just be like a country jug ... I'm kind of torn with this one ... Half of me liked it, half of it didn't."
Paula: "I didn't enjoy it and I'll tell you why ... I just feel like what we say like 'go for the country thing' too much to heart.' You've got to be able to kind of infuse your own thing. I didn't get it."
Simon: "I thought it was horrendous. You sounded like Dolly Parton on helium ... It was a very brave but probably foolish thing to do because that song just doesn't work in that style. It was like being at some sort of ghastly country fair or something with a couple of banjo players and you."
