American Idol got a little *freaky* on its Sunday, March 9 season 23 premiere. One contestant stood in front of the three judges (Lionel Richie, Carrie Underwood, and Luke Bryan) to perform Korn‘s “Freak On A Leash.” The contestant, named Insite, also had long hair perfect for headbanging, and he nailed Jonathan Davis‘ beatboxing portion.
Uniquely, Underwood knew each and every Korn lyric, and even joined Insite on the floor to perform “Bodies” by Drowing Pool.
Insite got a “yes” from each judge and is heading to Hollywood for the next round. Check out the full audition below and follow Insite’s journey on Instagram.
Korn is heading out on tour this spring and summer, and you can catch the iconic group on festival stages across the globe. Check out their upcoming run below and grab tickets here.
