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.

Harper was considered an early frontrunner after her audition video went viral and “String Cheese” reached the streaming charts. In the weeks that have followed, Hannah has stayed true to herself and her folksy bluegrass style with consistent performances. She did that once again on Monday night with two different performances.

Her first performance was a cover of “Fever” by Peggy Lee. Professional dancers Rylee Arnold and Jan Ravnik supported her with a beautifu

“I thought it was beautiful. I thought it was uniquely different for you,” Luke Bryan complimented Hannah. “It was sexy. It was sultry. I needed a martini while I was watching. I loved that it was not what we expected from you.”

Guest judge Paula Abdul was in awe of Hannah, saying that there was “nobody, I mean nobody, that sounds like you in this competition. And it’s been beautiful to see how America has become so invested in you. You are lovely to look at. You are lovely to listen to.”

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?

Hannah Harper will return to the stage later in the episode to sing Martina McBride’s “A Broken Wing” with Kellie Pickler.

50 YEARS AGO, 7 COLLEGE KIDS STARTED ACTING IN AN 88-SEAT CHURCH BASEMENT. LAST NIGHT, ONE OF THEM HELD HER 3RD TONY. Laurie Metcalf just won Best Featured Actress in a Play at the 79th Tony Awards for her role as Linda Loman in Death of a Salesman — alongside Nathan Lane, directed by Joe Mantello. This is her 3rd Tony. Her 7th nomination. But what she did at Radio City Music Hall wasn’t about the numbers. She stood up there and named 6 people. Not agents. Not producers. Six college friends from Illinois State University who started Steppenwolf Theatre together — in a church basement. Gary Sinise. John Malkovich. Jeff Perry. Terry Kinney. Moira Harris. Al Wilder. “I still consider them family,” she said. “I still draw on lessons I learned from them.” After everything — the Emmys, the Oscar nomination, decades on Roseanne — the first people she thanked were the ones who knew her before any of it mattered. Some things don’t change, even after 50 years.

THEY FIRED HIM ON A TUESDAY. BY SATURDAY, HE WAS SMILING ON A SAILBOAT. Scott Pelley spent 37 years at CBS News. He anchored the Evening News. He reported from war zones. He won dozens of Emmys. And last week, on his new boss’s very first day, he stood up in a staff meeting and said what nobody else would. He told executive producer Nick Bilton he’d “never be welcome here.” He accused CBS chief Bari Weiss of “murdering” 60 Minutes. But what Pelley claimed they asked him to do behind the scenes — that part changes everything. Within 24 hours, he was handed a termination letter. Fired “for cause.” 37 years, gone in a single page. Then Saturday morning, he posted a photo on Instagram. No anger. Just him at the helm of a sailboat, hands on the wheel, American flag behind him, looking out at open water. His only words: “You are the wind in my sails. So deeply grateful.”
