Hannah Harper left it all on the stage with her Top 5 performances on Monday night’s episode of American Idol.

It’s no surprise that Hannah Harper is one of the last five contestants standing on American Idol‘s 24th season. The young mom from Missouri captured America’s hearts with her audition performance of “String Cheese,” a song she wrote about the struggles and gift of motherhood.

Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood agreed, praising Hannah for her song choice and for surprising them by doing something they didn’t expect.

WAS Hannah Harper’s performance enough to earn her a spot in next week’s finale?
