Janelle Arthur Top 8

Janelle Arhur performs "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by The Supremes.

Jimmy Iovine predicted that if she nailed the performance, she'd have a very good night.
"Janelle at her finest!" Mariah Carey exclaimed.

"You always shine when you have your guitar in front of you.", Nicki Minaj stated.
