Door County musician Heyward advances on "American Idol"

You will hear more from Genevieve Heyward after she advanced to the Top 30 on “American Idol” on Monday.

 

It has been more than a month since the Nashville-based musician and former Door County resident qualified for “Hollywood Week” with her performance of Heart’s “Magic Man.”

 

She returned to face the judges with her rendition of Brandi Carlile’s “The Story,” which garnered enthusiastic praise from judges Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.

 

Despite admitting her nerves in promos for the episode, Heyward was safely in the Top 30, avoiding a four-person sing-off for the final two spots.

 

The field will be whittled from 30 contestants to 20 when the show transitions to Hawaii for the competition’s Ohana Round on March 9.

“American Idol” airs Mondays at 7 p.m. on ABC.
