He survived the cut that occurred thereafter and was shown during the Showcase Round singing "Knock on Wood" by Eddie Floyd. At the Final Judgment, he was called along with Laine Hardy and the judges told him that he advanced and Laine did not.

Garrett was shown in Group 2. He sang "Treat You Better" by Shawn Mendes and "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat in a duet with Caillat. The judges deemed him good enough to become a Top 14 finalist.
