Simon didn't even make any comment on the vocals. Instead, he pointed out the "weirdness" of her outfit and the fact the song is dark and boring. I know why he did. Because vocally, he couldn't fault Siobhan's performance. Plus, he said virtually the same thing about "Wicked Game." It's obvious, he doesn't like it when Siobhan does slow songs. Personally, I think Siobhan did a brave and smart thing with "House of the Rising Sun." The song best showed off her tone, range and pitch control.
Brooke White's tears come from the authentic, good soul that she is. Her heart was breaking because she was overwhelmed with the experience she had with the show and the gift that it brought.

I think that was possibly the very best semi-finalist performance in 9 years.
Simon's tone deaf cuz he's getting ooooold. Siobhan's performance was the best.
I am beginning to think that Simon is tone deaf. I agree with you this was a simply amazing performance.
