A viral audition with an original song named “String Cheese” made Hannah Harper an early favorite on American Idol Season 24.

Looks like she’s still the early favorite.

Hannah, 25, of Willow Springs, Missouri, performed “Go Rest High on That Mountain” during Monday night’s Top 30 show.

By midnight Thursday, the video American Idol posted to its Facebook page of that performance had been viewed 6.2 million times.

That’ four times more views than any other video from Sunday’s night show had gotten.

Brooks Rosser, the 22-year-old from Bel Air, Md., with the unique singing voice checked in number two on the list of most popular videos with 1.5 million views.

The only other singer to top 1 million by midnight was Madison Moon. Idol aired only a tiny snippet of her performance of Journey’s “Faithfully.”
