Carrie Underwood, now a judge on ‘American Idol’, joined contestant Insite for a duet of Drowning Pool’s “Bodies“. The performance earned praise from fellow judges. Insite advanced to the next round, bringing a unique energy to the show.
The new season kicked off on March 9, and during the episode, a long-haired metalhead contestant named Insite covered Korn's "Freak on a Leash." He complemented his performance with some head-banging, and even pranced around like Jonathan Davis a little bit and scatted during the bridge. Underwood lip-synced and nodded her head around during the audition, showing off her adoration for the song. Co-judge Lionel Richie noticed how into the performance she got, and suggested the two do a duet together. Who would have thought this country princess would know a heavy metal song? She did.
"She knew every word! Who are you?" Richie asked her.
Richie admitted he enjoyed the audition, but joked that he wasn't sure how they would fit the Insite into "Disney night." Watch the moment here.....and check out Luke's facial expressions!
