Strengths/ Weaknesses/ Next Step: Not a very engaging performance therefore putting more attention on the music. The singer was cool-looking with her horn-rimmed glasses and her country-drawl was charming.

Strengths/ Weaknesses/ Next Step: Varagona's style is very laid-back both visually and musically, which makes for a relaxing set of music. Her musical style and skill add to her charisma and there isn't much which needs to be improved upon. As long as she writes her type of songs, she doesn't need to change her style or image which is very plain.
