Breanna Nix Sings “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)”

This week on American Idol, the top five contestants showcased their Disney-inspired songs for the second half of “Disney Week.” Breanna chose to sing two songs, and one of them moved her husband of five years to tears.

Her first performance featured an upbeat and lyrically demanding song that required a lot of memory and vocal range from the singer. After her performance, Carrie Underwood pointed out to the audience that there is “a lot” happening behind the scenes that they don’t see, including back-to-back shows, multiple songs to memorize, and the heightened pressure of the competition.

It’s no surprise that contestants might miss a line or two, as Carrie did during Hollywood Week. Although Breanna did not miss a note or a word, she appeared nervous at the start of her performance. The judges encouraged her to just “have fun” next time.

Watch her performance of “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” from the movie The Parent Trap below.

Her performance that moved her husband to tears was a song from Tarzan. Breanna sang “You’ll Be in My Heart,” which is originally written from a mother’s perspective to her child. Although she did not alter the lyrics, she performed it for her husband, whom she describes as her best friend.

She said that her wedding day to her husband was the best day of her life, adding, “I felt like a Disney princess in my own movie.” She continued by saying, “My husband is my rock, and I want him to know that he will always be my number one.”

Her husband shed tears during her performance.
