‘American Idol’ Season 23 Hopeful Set Up To Fail

American Idol is never shy about bringing on a celebrity’s offspring to help muster up discussion. Having previously watched Baylee Littrell, son of Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys, audition and earn a Golden Ticket, another young singer with a musical family arrived. Lola arrived with her dad, accompanying her on guitar, but wait, there’s more. Lola then brings out her mom, Carnie, and aunt, Wendy. They just happen to have the name Wilson. Thus, it’s two-thirds of Wilson Phillips. Oh, and just as a reminder, that means that her grandfather is Brian Wilson, the musical genius behind the Beach Boys.
