“American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest announced that Breanna Nix is one of top three finalists during Monday night’s (May 12) Season 23 live show on ABC.
Following her performances of “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” and “You’ll Be in My Heart,” the 25-year-old stay-at-home mom received enough fan votes to join “American Idol” contestants Jamal Roberts and John Foster to compete in Sunday’s finale.
“I seriously have no words…I’m just so overwhelmed with gratitude 😭😭,” Nix posted on Instagram. “This has been the most insane, amazing experience of my life. I’ve pushed myself in ways I didn’t even know I could, and to be in the TOP 3 because of YOUR votes?? That blows my mind. Thank you for believing in me. ❤️😭🙏🏼 Denton…I’m coming home!!! Let’s GO!!!”
“Next step: WINNING!!!🥇,” “American Idol” alum and Christian singer Danny Gokey wrote on Nix’s timeline.
Nix, who is from Denton, Texas, will be celebrated in a hometown parade this Wednesday (May 14). Later that night, Nix will perform a free concert outside the Discover Denton Visitor Center.
Throughout her time on this season of “American Idol,” Nix has performed songs by Christian artists, including “Gratitude” by Brandon Lake, “You Say” and “Still Rolling Stones” by Lauren Daigle,” and “Tell Your Heart to Beat Again” by Danny Gokey.
