But the celebrity judge once again teased that Copeland stole another of his suit jackets. This time it was the flower-print jacket he wore for his “A Song for Mama” performance.
“More importantly man, if you go into my closet one more time,” Richie joked. “It bothers me.”
Before singing the Boyz II Men tune, Copeland had a picnic with his mom where he revealed to her his song choice.
“She’s a hard-working woman. She raised me single-handedly,” he said.
For Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing,” Copeland received advice from new show mentor Will.i.am.
While singing for the seven-time Grammy winner, Copeland had trouble hitting a high note in the tune. Will.i.am encouraged the Platinum Ticket holder to start high and then bring his voice low.
