For every thousand people who love a singer, a small group will always find a reason to complain. Hannah Harper is learning this the hard way after getting the spotlight following her time on American Idol.
Some people are trying to start a hate chain by saying her fame is getting boring. Others even claim she uses children to gain more public attention. However, her talent is way too big to be pushed down by mean words or internet rumors.

She stepped out to sing Heads Carolina, Tails California.
