Background
Ansley Burns is from the town of Easley, South Carolina.

Ansley's mom, Stephanie, posted a video of her daughter singing to Carrie Underwood's smash hit "Cry Pretty," on the radio in 2018. The video went viral and gained the attention of Carrie Underwood herself. 

Audition
Ansley Burns' audition in Episode 1404 consisted of singing Aretha Franklin's "Think." After she began singing, Simon Cowell asked for the backing track to stop playing. She then proceeded to sing the song again a cappella. Howie Mandel, Gabrielle Union, Julianne Hough, and Simon all voted "yes," sending Ansley to the Judge Cuts.

Judge Cuts
Ansley Burns' Judge Cuts performance in Episode 1409 consisted of singing Carrie Underwood's "Good Girl". Halfway through the song, Simon Cowell asked for the backing track to stop playing. She then proceeded to sing the song again a cappella. Her performance was not strong enough to advance to the Quarterfinals, eliminating her from the competition along with Jacob Norton. Her performance was strong enough for the judges to bring her back as a wildcard. (Confirmed)
