Drew auditioned for the show in Chicago and impressed the judges with a reworked version of the Justin Bieber hit "Baby". She continued to impress through both bootcamp and judges' homes, resulting in Simon Cowell choosing her to be a part of the live shows. Once there, Drew wowed the public with her soulful voice, considered mature for someone her age, as well as her fashion sense. She quickly became a fan favorite. Some even considered Drew as someone who could win.

Despite a loyal fanbase and some really good performances, Drew was eliminated on December 1, 2011, finishing in sixth place with Simon only trying to save her.

Despite that, she got an early Christmas present, being able to perform with her idol, Justin Bieber, at the finale on December 22, 2011. Justin gave Drew a hug, kiss on the hand, and danced with her! Her many fans truly believe that Drew will get a record deal and become the star that she is meant to be.
