Country star and one-time American Idol winner Carrie Underwood — last seen debasing herself by performing at Donald Trump’s inauguration — is back on Idol as a judge this year, replacing Katy Perry. Sunday’s episode featured audition footage for an 18-year-old going by the name Insite, who performed mediocre renditions of Korn’s “Freak On A Leash” and Drowning Pool’s “Bodies.” These hits from the peak nü-metal era came out before this kid was even born, but Underwood, who turned 42 this week, is squarely in the age bracket to have lived through this stuff in her youth. During the audition, it quickly became clear that she did.
