Lola, 19, crooned the country hit Rainbow by Kacey Musgraves, but before she did she revealed her famous roots.
Wowing the judges as well as viewers at home, Lola stunned everyone when she brought out her famous mom.
Carnie Wilson, the daughter of Brian Wilson, is Lola’s mom, and she appeared in the audition room before her daughter performed for the judges.
The 56-year-old singer is famous for co-founding the pop music trio Wilson Phillips with her younger sister Wendy.

Lola, Wendy, and Carnie kicked off Lola’s time in the audition room by singing together.
They crooned Wilson Phillips’ hit Hold On, with Lola stepping into the role of Chyna Phillips.
But fans at home weren’t impressed with the display of nepotism.
Reacting to finding out that Lola’s mom is famous, fans and viewers flocked to the comments section underneath the video which was posted on YouTube.
One person penned: “I have nothing against that sweet young woman, but, there is no way she would have made it through without her famous Mom in tow.”
Another added: “She’s ones from a line of amazing singers. However, This is the perfect example of someone who is an average singer using their connection to help them. Maybe she has more to offer but I wasn’t as wowed as I have been with other singers.”
The Voice rakes in 1 million viewers more than American Idol as fans are thrilled with Adam Levine’s big return-
“They should not have allowed her family to sing with her for her audition,” said a third.
A fourth then penned: “How is this a fair audition? No one has others singing with them. But I like her as a person.”
While a fifth said: “They should have to perform on their own…period.
“She definitely has the voice but she already has an advantage because of her family and she needs to perform solo. My two cents worth.”
Famous hitmaker Carnie celebrated the moment on Instagram.
Sharing a photo of her daughter receiving a coveted American Idol golden ticket, Carnie expressed her pride.
“I couldn’t be more proud of our @lola.bonfiglio. Her pure beautiful voice shines so bright!!!!!
“To witness your child be brave like that and sing from her heart…
And have three incredible artists tell her that her voice is pure and gorgeous…
“Shows us that her love for singing is what it’s all about,” she penned.
