That's the back-handed compliment of a message Randy Jackson sent to viewers and Brittany Zika last night, telling the aspiring singer - following a great rendition of Brandi Carlile's "The Story" - that she looks "nothing like what you sound."
Meaning, we can only presume, that someone with a terrific voice ought to look more like Carrie Underwood and less like your local librarian?
Either way, Zika is off to Hollywood. Watch her audition now:

Along with Brittany, two other Portland-based hopefuls stood out this week:
- Britnee Kellogg, who is taking her two sons with her to Hollywood, but not her cheating ex-husband.
- Romeo Diahn, who spent most of his childhood in a refugee camp after fleeing from war torn Liberia.
