Janelle Arthur was an early front-runner during Idol's Season 12 run, eventually placing fifth overall. Citing Dolly Parton as a personal inspiration, Arthur became known for her artistic spins on classic tunes like The Supremes' "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and The Beatles' "I Will," which you can check out below.

Congratulations, Janelle! (For the record, I made this prediction after posting fellow Idol Kree Harrison's debut a few days prior.) Here's to hoping this one dream coming true leads to many more opportunities for you.
