Country singer Mia Matthews delivered a stunning performance of Miranda Lambert’s “Over You” on Monday night’s (April 22) episode of American Idol.
The greater public first met Mia on a different show…The Voice.
Mia, her mother Tara, and her sister Jacy competed on The Voice in 2020 as the trio Worth the Wait. They joined Blake Shelton’s team and made it to the Top 17 before they were eliminated.
Both Mia and Jacy auditioned for the current season of American Idol. Mia performed “No Place That Far” by Sara Evans, while Jacy sang Kris Kristofferson’s “Help Me Make It Through the Night.”

Mia has continued to excel on Idol. On April 22, she was revealed to be a member of the Top 10.
Mia shared a cover of Miranda Lambert’s emotional song, “Over You,” during the same episode. Her beautifully chilling performance earned a lot of praise from Idol fans.
Some of the comments under her performance’s YouTube video include:
“I think this was Mia’s best performance yet. She sounded so pretty and really delivered.”
“She is what country music needs right now.”
“Best performance of the night.”
“She is so consistent every week. Perfect song choice for her, and I am a huge Miranda Lambert fan. She did this justice. That was stunning!”
“She is a winner!”
“This girl is so good! This is your dark horse coming up to the front of the pack.”
“Mark my words..in a few years she will be huge like Carrie Underwood.”
The Idol judges also praised Mia’s performance. Luke Bryan said, “A big part of this thing is to look like a dadgum star. And everything you’re doing right now is like star power stuff.”
Lionel Richie further complimented the young singer, telling her, “You’ve grown so much and you’re taking control of your life, your career and more important your artistry. … I love what you’re doing.”
