‘American Idol’ 2021: Did Liahona and Ammon Olayan make it through? - Deseret News

“It seemed like they were on pedestals looking down at us,” Olayan recently told the Deseret News.

But during the audition that aired Sunday night, those nerves seemed to dissipate as Liahona Olayan opened up to the judges about her family and upbringing.

“I don’t even know what y’all were singing, I don’t even know what was going on,” Bryan told the brother-sister duo after the performance.

“I think the sky’s the limit, and I’m just freaking out.”.

Liahona Olayan told the “American Idol” judges that she and Ammon wrote “Listen to My Heart” to express their love for their siblings, and how they sometimes say things they don’t mean.

Perry compared Liahona Olayan’s style to singers like Lorde and Alessia, and told the siblings they had a definite future in songwriting.

And then all three judges gave both Liahona and Ammon a “yes,” sending the siblings to the show’s next round, which starts March 21.

Regardless of how far they end up going on “American Idol,” Liahona Olayan previously told the Deseret News she was just glad to be sharing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with her brother

“Being on ‘American Idol,’ it’s still crazy to process, but you know after everything that we’ve been through, it’s just like a dream come true.”
