Two weeks after Brian Littrell from the Backstreet Boys helped son Baylee through to Hollywood Week, we were due for another dose of nepotism.
The judges thought they would simply witness another father-daughter performance with 19-year-old college student Lola singing with her dad, Rob Bonfiglio, accompanying on guitar. But before they launched into their song, Lola brought in some backup: her mom, Carnie Wilson, and aunt Wendy Wilson. Which, yes, makes Lola one of Brian Wilson’s grandchildren.
Lola, Carnie and Wendy first sang the 1990 chart-topper “Hold On” as Underwood mouthed along. But it was time for Lola to fly away from the nest, and she sang Kacey Musgraves’ “Rainbow” as mom cried with pride and fanned her face from the sidelines.
Her performance was good enough to get her to the next round, but the judges sent her home with some homework to level up before she faces at least 100 other contestants in Hollywood Week. Lionel Richie challenged her to “tell us a story” with her voice, while Bryan warned Lola the competition will require her to belt out some songs and fill “up the room a little more.”
A Benson Boone cover nearly blew Lionel Richie’s hair away
If anything, 26-year-old music teacher Desmond Roberts deserves praise for his 120-mile commute from his home in Corona, southeast of Los Angeles, to the School of Rock where he teaches. Well, there’s also his rendition of “Beautiful Things” which Richie claimed blew his hair away.
Desmond took to the piano for the TikTok-famous ballad, and as he belted out the catchy chorus, it came across as more effortful than Benson Boone’s powerhouse performance. But he sprinkled in a few new notes here and there, and the judges were blown away — almost literally.
“You invented notes, I think,” Underwood said, while Richie claimed he was “still trying to get the curls back in my hair.”
Desmond came outside to his family with a golden ticket, which we’re left to assume meant three votes of confidence from the judges.
