Besides being an incredible singer, she is also a make-up artist who does impressions of Disney characters. For her audition on the show, she performed Kelly Clarkson's A Moment Like This, winning over the judges and earning a golden ticket to Hollywood.During her stint at Hollywood Week, the contestant was paired with Kelsie Dolin, which seemed like a very unlikely pairing. They were given the challenge of performing together as part of the Duet Challenge.Dolin was very nervous about performing a duet, as she had never performed with anyone previously. However, the judges expected Betty (a former Miss America and no stranger to competition) to put Dolin at ease.During rehearsals, Betty did just that. She urged Dolin to pick a song that she would be comfortable singing together on stage. The Pagent Queen also incorporated some dance moves into the song to help aid the duo's performance.After delivering an incredible performance, Betty and Kelsie headed into the next round of the competition. However, both failed to make it to the Top 24 of American Idol.Viewers will have to tune in next week to experience more performances by the contestants. American Idol airs every Monday at 8.00 pm ET on ABC.
