Following her spot-on delivery of Kelly Clarkson‘s “Since You’ve Been Gone” as well as Martina McBride‘s “Broken Wing,” the quirky 19-year-old earned her “Golden Ticket” to Hollywood.

In one of her final performances on Season 5 of the hit singing series, Pickler delivered a sassy rendition of Patsy Cline‘s iconic “Walkin’ After Midnight.” The talented blonde sashayed around the stage during her performance, approaching to stage to sing to the judges directly.

“Walkin’ After Midnight” was released in 1957 by the country music icon, going on to become her first major single.
