Miles was the first contestant to perform on the semi-finals of the show. This was her first major appearance on the show. She performed "All Right Now" by the band Free causing Simon Cowell to label her as the contestant "with the most potential" and he told her that of all the girls, she had the best voice. On the second week, she sang Walk Away by Kelly Clarkson, which was generally accepted by the panel as okay and she ended up safe that week. Her third performance was the song Smile by Nat King Cole.
