But this season was different as Carrie Underwood returned as a judge. And over the past few weeks, fans got a chance to watch Underwood make dreams come true and offer wonderful feedback. While the auditions are still underway, Underwood recently found herself second guessing her own decision when she got a chance to hear contestant Mikaela Bautista perform alongside her father.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-19\">\n<h2 id=\"video-header\" class=\"g1-delta g1-delta-2nd g1-collection-title\">Videos<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>Having to stand in front of talented performers like Richie, Bryan, and Underwood, Bautista felt the pressure as she took her spot. Only getting one chance, the singer decided to cover Whitney Houston\u2019s \u201cSaving All My Love for You.\u201d While both Richie and Bryan loved the performance, Underwood was left wanting more. Ending up passing on the singer, Bautista made it through thanks to both Bryan and Richie saying \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper video-seo-youtube-embed-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-seo-youtube-player\" data-id=\"mfc5mVfkmNI\">\n<div class=\"video-seo-youtube-embed-loader\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-id=\"mfc5mVfkmNI\" aria-label=\"Load YouTube video\">\n<div class=\"video-seo-youtube-player-play\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mikaela Bautista\u2019s Emotional Duet with Dad Wins Carrie\u2019s Vote, Filipino Dream Comes True | Idol 2025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mfc5mVfkmNI\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"350\" data-origheight=\"235\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>As for Underwood, she explained her decision, stating that she wanted more emotions from Bautista. Knowing that it can take years for a performer to learn how to connect with the audience, the rising star shocked Underwood when she performed \u201cThe Prayer\u201d with her father, who happened to be Vhen Bautista. A popular singer in the Philippines, the father\/daughter duo covered \u201cThe Prayer\u201d by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-carrie-underwood-changes-her-mind-on-american-idol\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carrie Underwood Changes Her Mind On \u2018American Idol\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Blown away by the emotion and power of the performance, Underwood insisted, \u201cYou weren\u2019t thinking about it, you were just singing!

But thankfully, Bautista was already heading to Hollywood with the support of the other judges. Thrilled for her father\u2019s support, the singer embraced him, insisting, \u201cThis one is for both of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fans appeared to agree with the support from the judges as comments on the performance read, \u201cThirty seconds into her singing with her dad I started crying!!
