And so is Lillian Hackett.
The 17-year-old Lovettsville singer-songwriter performed her original song "Tennessee" with her guitar for judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie on Sunday, March 17 on ABC.
"I think there's something real artistic about you that I like," Bryan said.
"Yes from me," Richie added.
Hackett's going to Hollywood.
The teen's website says she has a natural inclination toward New Americana music, and "skillfully weaves a soulful and authentic musical experience, blending covers and originals.
"Inspired by iconic artists like Patsy Cline, Gillian Welch, and Bob Dylan, Lillian recently returned from her American Idol audition, aiming to grow not only as a musician but specifically as a storyteller."
She has dreams of hiking the Appalachian Trail with her guitar in tow.
For now, she's going to Hollywood.
Tune into "American Idol" Sunday nights at 8 p.m. on ABC.
