‘American Idol’ Preview: Kyndal Inskeep Steps Out of Her ‘Comfort Zone’ for Hollywood Week

Kyndal Inskeep became an American Idol Season 24 fan favorite after her audition, and she’ll be returning to the stage for Hollywood Week during the March 2 episode. TV Insider has an exclusive sneak peek of Kyndal’s Hollywood Week appearance, where she discusses how she fell in love with music and opens up about her song choice.

“Usually when I take the stage, it takes a couple songs for me to feel comfortable, so it’s such a challenge this week because you only have one shot to really be authentic to who you are,” Kyndal explains.

She then dives into her upbringing in Indianapolis, Indiana, and explains how her mom inspired her passion for music. “My mom sang worship in the church and we would sing together,” Kyndal says. “So that’s kind of where my love for music came from, is my mom.”

For Hollywood Week, Kyndal selected “Human” by The Killers to perform for judges Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie. “This song is a little more lively and I’m not gonna have a guitar in my hand, so it’s not really in my comfort zone,” Kyndal admits. “But this is a really great opportunity to really show I can also be free-spirited and fun, so I’m ready to step out on that stage.”

The preview includes part of Kyndal’s performance. Her stage presence is top-notch, and the judges look captivated as they watch her belt out the rock tune. During Kyndal’s audition, she sat on a stool and sang a slower original song, so this was definitely giving the judges a chance to see a new side to her.
