Noah Thompson and HunterGirl Return to 'American Idol' for Duet!

Competitor Mariah Faith Recalls Her 'Dream Come True' Performance With Noah Thompson and HunterGirl

Faith informed the judges during her audition that her step-dad, whom she considered her "best friend in the whole world,"

he packed me up and shipped me off to South Carolina, where I promptly took up singing, piano, and dancing. When he heard me sing, he understood it was because I earned it.

When asked by producers how she felt about being chosen to perform before Thompson and HunterGirl, Faith responded,

"I definitely feel like my daddy was in the room with me today, definitely gave me the boost I needed."

Bluesy and soulful, Faith's performance of Morgan Wallen's "You Proof" on "Idol" came after an exciting encounter backstage with other contestants Thompson and HunterGirl.

"Singing on this stage means the world to me," she gushed on the show.

Since being crowned season 20's victor and runner-up, he and HunterGirl have had a hectic 10 months. Both have recorded singles and performed around the United States.
