HunterGirl Reflects on American Idol Return Performance With Noah Thompson

American Idol Season 20 runner-up HunterGirl captured the hearts and ears of fans around the world during her time on the show a little more than a year ago. Then, just a few months back — during Season 21 — she made an epic return with her friend and fellow contestant, Noah Thompson. Together, the pair performed a duet of Thompson's song, "One Day Tonight," which HunterGirl told PopCulture.com "was just so special." "It was so much fun, getting to go back, see all the judges, see the producers. I spent a year of my life out there and it was like coming home," HunterGirl said during a recent exclusive interview with PopCulture.com. "So I'm just hugging everybody, and then get to be back on that Idol stage. It was so cool, just full circle, a year later coming back on and it was just so special. I was just really glad that I got to come back. I love all the people on Idol and everything. I was just really happy to be there, honestly." She then joked, "They let me back in." ➡️𝐒𝐔𝐁𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐁𝐄 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄    / popculturedotcom   𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 Celebrity: https://popculture.com/celebrity/ Streaming: https://popculture.com/streaming/ TV Shows: https://popculture.com/tv-shows/ Movies: https://popculture.com/movies/ Reality TV: https://popculture.com/reality-tv/ 📱 𝐏𝐎𝐏𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 Facebook:   / popculturedotcom   Twitter:   / popculture   Instagram:   / popculture
