Season 20 of “American Idol” is underway and 2016 Miss America Betty Maxwell received a unanimous “yes” from the judges after performing a rendition of “Jesus Take the Wheel.”
The former Miss Georgia attended her audition with her beauty pageant crown in tow.
She first performed “A Moment Like This” by American Idol alum Kelly Clarkson. Judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan then asked Maxwell, whose maiden name is Cantrell, to sing another song.

The singer performed the song acapella and was given unanimous approval, advancing her to Hollywood Week of the competition.
