Taking over for Katy Perry, Underwood sat beside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan to meet a new group of aspiring artists. Wanting to help them achieve their dreams, Underwood felt right at home when giving suggestions and feedback. But given her history with\u00a0<em>American Idol<\/em>, it didn\u2019t take long before she found herself on the other side of the table, giving some backup to contestant Kobyn Melton, who decided to perform Drowning Pool\u2019s \u201cBodies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Going by the stage name Insite, Melton found the judges a little hesitant after he opened with Korn\u2019s \u201cFreak on a Leash.\u201d Not knowing if his tone would fit in\u00a0<em>American Idol<\/em>, he decided to give them another sample. And this time,\u00a0Underwood\u00a0offered him the support he needed when she joined in. Embracing the rocker lifestyle, if only for a moment, Underwood showcased her head-banging skills. Afterward, she joked, \u201cWoo! You got a good hype girl. That was high school for me\u2026. I\u2019ve even crowd surfed, people, okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Insite Audition | Freak On A Leash + Bodies | Full Performance | American Idol 2025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J8LugsOYltQ\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"350\" data-origheight=\"235\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><ins id=\"982a9496-49f71f0febff2a6f4b95c9822efdee2f-4-6869\" class=\"982a9496\" data-key=\"49f71f0febff2a6f4b95c9822efdee2f\"><ins id=\"982a9496-49f71f0febff2a6f4b95c9822efdee2f-4-6869-1\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"dieroseinforinread-NtCBitRCpt\"><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/ins><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"h-fans-loving-carrie-underwood-on-american-idol\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fans Loving Carrie Underwood On \u2018American Idol\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Having fun with the performance, fans loved watching\u00a0Underwood\u00a0jump in to help Melton. \u201cSee, this is the type of stuff that would bring me back to American Idol.
