She went on to sing a second song for her audition, as seen in the video below, and made it though all the way to the semi-finals with fellow “Idol” Season 20 contestant, Christian Guardino.

Today, at age 26, Mayor has completely re-branded herself, ditching her “AGT” audition’s formal black gown for a comfy yet stylish jumpsuit and trades her then long locks for a short purple hairdo.

For her “Idol” audition, the Miami singer channels her Cuban roots with an original song titled “Beautiful, Broken Things” instead of opting for a traditional cover.
