HunterGirl did it again, moving forward into the next round of “American Idol” and celebrated with a Miranda Lambert cover.
The 23-year-old singer from Winchester, Tennessee, made it through Monday night’s results show, thanks to her Top 20 performance of her original song “Heartbreak Down” on Sunday’s episode.

After making the Top 14, HunterGirl, whose real name is Hunter Wolkonowski, took the stage to perform Miranda Lambert’s “Vice” from her 2016 double album The Weight of These Wings.
Channelling the country superstar’s style, HunterGirl sang her heart out in a leather fringe jacket. Although she didn’t receive any commentary from Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, nor Luke Bryan, HunterGirl can take comfort in the judges’ facial expressions, which suggested they were pleased with what they saw and heard.
