After watching HunterGirl croon to her self-composed song, the 'American Idol' judges were lost for words, while fans couldn't stop singing her praises
After Kennedy Anderson's abrupt exit from "American Idol" Season 20, her fellow platinum ticket holder Huntergirl has replaced her as the new frontrunner to win ABC's singing competition show. After initially hitting a few odds, Huntergirl has finally found her momentum as she continues to wow judges and fans week after week.
After her impeccable performance during the Top 24 round, which convinced both the judges and fans that she was Top 5 material, she moved on with her Top 20 performance. For the Top 20 round, unlike many of her peers on the show, Huntergirl decided to sing her original song 'Heartbreak Down'. After seeing his croon for his self-composed song, the judges were lost for words while fans couldn't stop singing their praises.
Many fans praised not only her songwriting skills but also her impeccable vocals in the show's YouTube clip of Huntergirl's performance. One fan commented, "Holy Mackerel, I can't believe it's her own song. She's an amazing songwriter and if she can produce a hit album like this she's a winner!! Hey, She should be at the CMA a long time ago." "She's the BEST in the whole competition! She's my favorite contestant who's been on the show in the last twenty years. And I'm not exaggerating!! I think it's great that How she takes trauma and makes it a song for people. I wish she could do it for me!!! Maybe she can help my PTSD. But anyway, I love her so much and I don't care Not only hope she wins but I hope she becomes the biggest star and helps millions of people with her songs!! Her song tonight was amazing and I can't wait to buy her album!" A fan wrote.
Many fans thought she was going to be a star. One fan shared, "She doesn't look like a contestant on American Idol, she looks like a country star! Wow!" One fan said, "She definitely has star quality. She has a star-like look." "He doesn't need to win Idol. He just needs exposure so people know he exists. I can definitely hear his music on the radio. He's amazing!" A fan added. One fan said, "Just go ahead and give her every record deal. Perfection is valued. She's fun, she has great onstage presence and has great voice."
If Huntergirl manages to keep this momentum going, we wouldn't be surprised if she is crowned the winner of the season.
