Haeley Vaughn gets mixed reviews

Haeley Vaughn recasts The Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand” as a Taylor Swift song. Super-sweet? Sure. But she holds it together at the end with the high notes.

Kara says there are technical issues, but says she makes up for it with her delivery. Randy says he loves her unpredictability, but doesn’t like the high notes. Ellen says, “You just shine,” and adds that she enjoyed it. Simon says it verged on terrible, calling it “a complete and utter mess.” Ellen says, “If it was a mess, it was a hot mess.”
