Breanna Nix Brings Her ‘Faith Into Being,’ Singing Lauren Daigle’s ‘Still Rolling Stones’ on ‘American Idol’

Breanna Nix, 25, went from stay-at-home mom to the stage as a contestant in the 23rd season of “American Idol.” For multiple weeks, Nix has chosen Christian songs to display her unwavering faith in God alongside her pitch-perfect, soulful voice. This time, Nix sang Lauren Daigle’s “Still Rolling Stones.”

“Can the congregation say, ‘Amen?'” offered “American Idol” judge Lionel Richie.

Competing for the Top 20 on “American Idol,” Breanna Nix has continued to stun the judges. The Denton, Texas, resident recently traveled to the Aulani Disney Resort in Kapolei, Hawaii, for the next round of the competition.

“Having the best time! I love my friends!!” Nix posted on Facebook. “I also wanted to come on here and say THANK YALL! Thank you for your support & love!! It truly means everything to me. I find out results Easter Sunday.”

Judges Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Carrie Underwood listened in awe as Nix sang “Still Rolling Stones,” by Lauren Daigle. The lyrics to the song include:

Out of the shadows
Bound for the gallows
A dead man walking
Till love came calling
Rise up (rise up)

Six feet under
I thought it was over
An answer to prayer
The voice of a Savior
Rise up (rise up)

All at once I came alive
This beating heart, these open eyes
The grave let go
The darkness should have known
You’re still rolling stones

I thought that I was too far gone
For everything I’ve done wrong
Yeah, I’m the one who dug this grave
But You called my name

“The first note out of your mouth was like a growl,” said Underwood. “We joined you in your moment, that beautiful big voice just overtaking everybody.”

Bryan commented on how the song was just right for Nix—showcasing her heart and talent. “The confidence that you embody, I mean, it was like watching when Adele is in her zone,” he remarked. “You truly owned that moment, and you never let off the gas from the start till the finish.”

Richie said, “You brought something into this whole competition. You have actually been leading in terms of just bringing more and more of your faith into being.”
