Eleven artists stood on the American Idol stage this Monday night for a huge celebration. It wasn’t just a night when contestants had to sing; it was the night the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced its class of 2026. Considering this, the theme of the night was Rock and Roll!
While big stars like Sade and Oasis were honored, the contestants had to sing hits from past rock legends.
Amid all this, one of the fan-favorite contestants, Hannah Harper, chose a very famous song to show everyone who she really is as a singer. She chose to sing the song “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac.

The room was all quiet when she started to play her guitar. She looked both strong and calm as she sang about how life changes as we grow older. It is a hard song to get right because it needs a lot of heart. Hannah did not just sing the notes. She made everyone feel the story’s sadness and beauty through her voice!
Fans online are already saying this was the best moment of the whole year. One viewer said they hung on every word she sang from start to finish. Another person mentioned that they got goosebumps on top of their goosebumps. Someone even said she could sing a happy birthday song to a stick and still get their vote. People love that she can stand there and shine so brightly.
That quiet magic on stage was a perfect way to honor the band, Fleetwood Mac. Hannah picked their 1975 hit, written by Stevie Nicks. The original song is very special because it was written in the mountains when Stevie was thinking about her future.
It was not a huge radio hit right away, but it became one of the most loved songs in history over time.
