Randy said "I like the fact that you brought a whole singer-songwriter song... I thought it was pretty good". Paula said "Totally authentic of who you are and that's a beautiful thing. You're identifiable. I think that this unplug version was a great thing to do. You sounded very good". Simon said "It was a bit like ordering a hamburger and only getting the bun. In other words, there is something missing. You're voice wasn't strong enough for the song".

Brooke White - Hero Lyrics
There's a hero if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are.
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
The sorrow that you know will melt away

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
Coz you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
You'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.

oh....Lord knows dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away.
Hold on, there will be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.
