'American Idol' Season 12 contestant Kree Harrison may be taking the music world by storm, whether she makes it any further than the top 10 or not. Since Kree Harrison's "American Idol" audition, she has been getting plenty of praise from "Idol" judges Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson, and Mariah Carey, as well as praise from fellow country artists. The Texas native has wowed judge from the beginning after her sister helped convince her to audition for the 2013 "American Idol" competition.

Harrison currently hails from "The Music City" Nashville, TN. Harrison recently received some big compliments from country band Little Big Town. They recently heaped praise on Harrison to CMT. "She is an artist, and I am so happy that she is getting a chance to use her gift on a broader platform and for people to hear her," said Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild. "If those American Idol judges are smart, they will keep her on the whole way. We have to vote for Kree, we just have to. She deserves this chance to shine, it is her moment."

Harrison just made it into the top 10 of "American Idol's" twelfth season and the singer is a part of a strong female field. Whether she wins or loses; however, it seems like she has definitely made her mark on the fans. The singer is arguably one of the most popular contestants left on the "Idol" stage.

A fan recently tweeted at Harrison, letting her know she was trending worldwide.

Harrison still seems to have kept humble through her "Idol" journey, often tweeting thanks to her fans. She certainly has the composure and maturity of a much more experienced artist.

She now faces her next task this week against nine other competitors. Harrison will be performing Wednesday night as season 12 goes on to the next round. You can follow Kree Harrison on Twitter @KreeAI12
