Luke Bryan said the song perfectly suited ‘the tone and the pureness’ of Lola’s voice, while Lionel Richie encouraged her to ‘hold the story out longer.’

Carnie is the daughter of Beach Boys singer Brian Wilson and she and Bonfiglio married in 2000, welcoming Lola in 2005 and Luciana in 2009.

Carine talked about her daughter’s big moment in the spotlight with ET, saying she felt Idol was the pefect fit because it gives the contestants such a wide variety of musical artists to work with.

‘Lola is not this big Broadway-type singer, but she’s got something so honest and pure and lovely — sort of like this Joni Mitchell, Kacey Musgraves type of thing,’ Carnie told the outlet. ‘That’s how I compare it.’

She added that Lola has been expanding her songwriting, as well, ‘she’s really getting into her artistry.’

Carnie talked about the advice she’s given her daughter, 35 years after she catapulted to stardom alongside her sister Wendy and Chynna Phillips.

‘When you do this, just be grateful for the opportunity, A. And B, I think you’re gonna find yourself as an artist through this process.
