"I wish Simon walked through here. If Simon walked through here its on," Panda said before going on the stage.
"I'm here for Simon. Single," she added pointing to a necklace around her neck. "That's for you baby. Simon is my baby daddy."
But getting to the show wasn't easy for Panda, who said that she had been hospitalized for the past seven days.
"I was in the hospital with pneumonia yesterday, but I bust myself out of there because I had to be here today and singing is everything to me," she said. "I don't got a lot of education, I don't got a lot of nothing. But I just got a lot of personality and it's the gift that God gave me and so I just like to use that gift to brighten up everybody's day."
Just before entering the stage, the contestant didn't appear sick at all. Although she said she had shortness of breath, she assumed it was due to her nerves.
"I'm so excited right now I'm ready to just go in there and do my thing. I'm ready for everybody to just have a little piece of Panda today," she stated.
The judges started by asking Panda about her unique name.
"My mom was in jail when she had me and her cell mate was white and she was black and they just kind of came up with the name," she explained. "I'm cuddly and everything you know."
After Panda went on stage, the judges were clearly impressed.
"You're so funny, you're such a character and your voice is so soulful," judge Demi Lovato said.
Simon conceded as well.
"Panda, you sound like a legend. I mean that voice. I absolutely love you," he said. "Always wanted a Panda."
Panda received good news with four votes of "yes." But just after her performance, the contestant started having difficulty breathing. Drama soon ensued and she had to be rushed off in an ambulance. Watch below.
