Nicki Minaj said it best when she said that, after Zoanette Johnson’s amazing performance on American Idol the other night, hers would be the only song people at home would remember. Today, the media is already hailing her as this season’s winner.

Granted, Zoanette still has a long way to go until she gets to take home the title of American Idol but, as far as the media is concerned, her future in the music industry is guaranteed.

One woman can’t sing the way she does and not have a successful career in music, they say. After you check out the video below, you will probably second that.

“Ten contestants performed on Wednesday's show and five were sent home by episode's end, but Zoanette stood head, shoulders and a massive blonde mane above everyone else after her towering, earth-shifting performance of ‘Circle of Life’ that earned her the title of ‘Queen of the Jungle’ from Keith Urban,” MTV News writes.

It also talks about the beginning of a “Zoanette Johnson era,” one that will be marked by such breathtaking performances as the one below and which will hopefully end with her winning AI.
