When HunterGirl was handed the coveted Platinum Ticket after her auditions on 'American Idol' Season 20, fans had some pretty strong feelings about it. While some fans felt that she deserved it, many others felt that she was over-rated and way too hyped by the judges. But the 23-year-old is steadily winning over everybody's hearts with her stellar performances week after week.

On the recently aired episode of 'American Idol', the top 24 contestants were presented with the golden opportunity of performing before a live audience at Disney's Aulani Resort in Hawaii. Ahead of her performance, HunterGirl decided to let go off her beloved guitar and allow her vocals to shine through on their own. This turned out to be a great decision as she got everybody in the audience up on their feet and dancing to her rendition of 'Banjo' by Rascal Flatts. By the end of her performance, the judges and the guest mentor- Jimmie Allen couldn't stop raving about her showmanship.
