It was '80's night on last night's The X Factor on FOX and Broadway vet Rachel Potter, hoping to maintain her spot on Kelly Rowland's Over 25 team, chose to perform the classic Heart song 'Alone.'

Following the number, Paula Rubio commented "You are such a great singer. After this performance you can show people that you are all show, all entertainment."

Agreed Demi Lovato, "I really think you have the potential to win this whole competition. You remind me of a cross between Shania Twain and Martina McBride."

Ever the critic, Simon Cowell offered, "I think the big note sounded like you were screaming. What kind of recording artist do you want to be?"

Retorted Kelly Rowland, "There's nothing wrong with having an edge. Carrie Underwood would have sang that song."
