Performance after performance, Baltimore native Gabby Samone has wowed judges and fans on American Idol, and Sunday night was no different.

It was down to the Top 10 contestants during the program's celebration of Iconic Women in Music, with two being put on the chopping block at the end of the show.

Samone was the final contestant to perform.

She delivered a powerful rendition of Beyoncé's record "I Was Here" off her album, "4."

Following her performance, she left judges with their jaws dropped.

"I have two words: Wow and vote!" said multi-platinum country music star Carrie Underwood.

"I have so many questions, but I want to tell you that you held your emotions perfectly and we felt every moment of that performance," said music legend Lionel Richie.

Samone would go on to have her name called at the end of the night among the rest of the Top 8 contestants.

You can catch her again tomorrow on WMAR at 8:00 pm.
