TO DO SUNDAY

– Watch “American Idol”: Did you see last week’s premiere? Winchester, Tennessee, singer/songwriter Hunter Wolkonowski, who goes by the stage name HunterGirl, received not only a golden ticket to Hollywood but a platinum ticket that grants her an automatic pass through the early rounds when the talent show begins live performances in Hollywood. HunterGirl performed Rascal Flatts’ “Riot” in her audition, prompting judge Luke Bryan to call her his “favorite country singer ever” on the show. Two other singers are set to receive platinum tickets, a bonus to mark the show’s 20th season. The next episode will air at 8 p.m. Sunday on ABC.
