Danielle made headlines in mid-February, when she was surprised with a visit from gospel artist Lauren Daigle during her "American Idol" audition. The two performed Daigle's "You Say." The judges were also shocked by Daigle's guest appearance.
"I feel like this is not even happening," Danielle said. "Thank you, God."
