Cierra Johnson
Contestant #52731
Cierra appeared to have what the judges normally look for physically in an American Idol. She looked the part and talked the part.
Looks can be deceiving. Simon even admitted that he expected her to sing really well, until she killed Silent Night. Randy told her, "You've got twelve keys going on."
After Cierra asked if she could try a different song, Simon told her to sing Silent Night without the "Night." He also commented that it sounded more like the soundtrack for The Nightmare Before Christmas.
