She Reveals Production Worried About Her Original Song
Hannah Harper has revealed that production warned her about singing an original song. They let her know that she needed to have a backup song because the judges did not always care for originals. However, her original song became viral, and this is also what helped her win.
“They told me to prepare backup because the judges don’t love to hear originals. They want to hear something that they’re familiar with, that they’ve heard before. So I had a backup planned and never had to use it. I was really thankful. I’m glad I didn’t sing [it] because no one knew it,”
Fans were shocked to hear this. However, it paid off for Hannah in the end, and she made the right decision by singing her own song.
