Breanna Nix, the 25-year-old powerhouse from American Idol, set the stage on fire with her explosive rendition of Adele’s “Water Under the Bridge” during the season’s Ladies’ Night live show.
The rising star, guided by country icon Miranda Lambert, delivered a performance that was nothing short of a diva moment. With the song choice suggested by Lambert, Nix brought the sass that the judges were looking for, blending raw emotion with unmatched vocal prowess.
The moment was electric from start to finish. Nix not only brought “Adele vibes” to the stage but also showcased her remarkable range, holding notes with a commanding intensity that left the judges in awe. “You know how to get to a note and choke it to death,” said Lionel Richie, marveling at the power in her voice.
Carrie Underwood, impressed with Nix’s stage presence, called it “the perfect moment” and praised her for owning the diva role. Luke Bryan echoed the sentiment, noting that Nix’s “incredible voice” was especially evident in the song’s second half.
With Lambert’s guidance, Nix knew exactly how to captivate the audience and her fellow judges. The performance solidified her as a force to be reckoned with in the competition, earning her rave reviews and the admiration of both the panel and viewers alike.
