Team Snoop Performances and Feedback

Zac Brown to Natalia: "If you do 15 percent less runs, it makes it more special when you do 'em. You've got all the tools, just don't throw all of them at everybody the whole time."
To Toni: "Do your homework. Be super familiar so you're not thinking about mechanics; there's no disconnect between your brain and your voice. Your brain's out of it."
Reba McEntire commented: "Natalia, your performance was spectacular. Toni, golly, your range was incredible."
