CARRIE UNDERWOOD Rocks Out To KORN And Performs DROWNING POOL’s ‘Bodies’ With A Contestant On ‘American Idol’

“American Idol” saw a surprising turn as 18-year-old Insite successfully auditioned with classic nü-metal hits. He performed KORN‘s “Freak On A Leash” and DROWNING POOL‘s “Bodies,” prompting judge Carrie Underwood, a country superstar, to enthusiastically sing along and even join him onstage. Underwood, herself a fan, reminisced that the songs were a staple of her high school years.

Though known for her country music success, Underwood, an “American Idol” winner from 2005, has consistently demonstrated her passion for hard rock, collaborating with bands like GUNS N’ ROSES and MOTÖRHEAD, and even incorporating heavy metal into her workout routines.”

With three ‘yes’ votes from the judges, the Naples, Florida, native moved forward in the competition.
