(heavy sigh) Here we go again.
**american idol hannah harper news: local woman with a sob story and a solid C+ Taylor Swift cover somehow breaks the internet, again**
Look, I saw this "viral" trainwreck coming from a mile away. Hannah Harper, who’s apparently the next coming of Christ because she didn’t completely mangle a song from the Fearless album, gave the judges the ol’ dead-grandma-and-a-sick-puppy backstory. Paula Abdul wept, Luke cried so hard he flooded the set, and the internet, predictably, lost its collective mind. AITA for pointing out she's just the 47th "inspirational" contestant this season? TL;DR: Sob story. Decent pitch. Millions of views. Yawn. We'll forget about her by next Taco Tuesday.
