Music isn’t new to Lola Bonfiglio, but singing on the American Idol stage was her chance to prove she’s more than just a celebrity’s daughter. The 19-year-old daughter of Carnie Wilson and granddaughter of The Beach Boys’ co-founder Brian Wilson came to her audition with her mom and aunt Wendy Wilson by her side.

They sang “Hold On,” the 1992 hit that made Wilson Phillips legendary. Their voices blended together perfectly, and Lola’s father, Rob Bonfiglio, played the guitar and filled the room with nostalgic harmonies.

After the family singalong, it was time for Lola to sing solo. She performed “Rainbow” by Kacey Musgraves, singing it with tenderness and emotion as she showcased how pure her voice was. The judges listened closely and paid attention to her tone, her control, and how she communicated the song’s story.

Richie advised her to take it easy and let the song breathe, while Bryan loved the warmth of her voice but wanted her to stretch her range a bit more, reminding her that the competition would challenge her in ways she hadn’t yet experienced. Lola, determined and ready to go, expressed her readiness. Fortunately, she got a unanimous yes to go to Hollywood.

Carnie Wilson always wanted her daughter, Lola, to pursue music

Lola’s love of music wasn’t an accident — it was planted early by her mom. Carnie Wilson shared that she used to put headphones on her belly while pregnant and play Frank Sinatra, attempting to foster an appreciation of melody before Lola was even born.

Over the years, Carnie has gushed over her daughter’s gift, often saying that hearing Lola sing moves her to tears. She admitted that when they sing together, she has to turn away just to compose herself. As much musical talent as there is in the Wilson family, Carnie believes that Lola has something special—something that even she and her iconic family members can’t match.
