Before the bright lights of Hollywood, Hannah Harper was just a mom with a guitar.
After her fame on American Idol, people are now digging up her old videos and discovering she’s been a star all along!
In one sweet clip, she sits on her porch at home and sings “Highway 40 Blues,” a song made famous by the legendary Ricky Skaggs, the owner of hit songs like “Let It Be You” and “Country Boy.” The song is a classic written by Larry Cordle.
Her song choice shows that she can handle any song with total confidence and grace. Even though it is a difficult country song, her voice sounds like butter.
But the song choice isn’t the best part about the video; it is how she sings it. While she sings, her husband walks about, smiling, while her kids are seen laughing and playing in the background.
Her guitar skills make the music so warm, and as she sings, you can tell she loves being both a mother and a singer. People noticed how smooth and natural she is, even when she’s not singing in front of a crowd!

Fans are falling in love with this honest side of her life. One person said that she should win the whole show. Another viewer loved seeing her husband’s face and hearing the children squeal with joy. Someone even joked about being a proud member of the snack club (a joke about her original song, “String Cheese”).
The joke brings us to her original song, while her old videos show her happy side, Hannah opened up about her depressive phase on the Idol stage. She wrote a song while she was battling postpartum depression. The story involves her crying, her kid being annoying, and a knife with cheese!
You have to hear it. It is one of the most moving and trending auditions on the show!
