American Idol Season 20 is all set to conclude the final leg of auditions with the latest episode. It featured all the contestants who won a golden ticket in their initial auditions.
The contestants were divided into groups, and Kelsie Dolin belonged to the 'front row' group. After the first contestant Mike Parker finished his performance, the episode featured shots of Dolin asking her fellow contestants about their routine.
Dolin looked extremely nervous before her performance. She admitted to the camera that she had stage fright and appeared to be reluctant to walk on stage and face an audience.
Former American Idol winner Lauren Alaina (Season 10) encouraged and supported Dolin when the latter didn’t want to go on stage. Similar to Alaina, fans also came out in support of Dolin on social media.
What do fans have to say?
When Dolin appeared on the stage, she was trembling. The hand in which she was holding the mic was shaking, and her face turned white.
Judge Katy Perry was constantly encouraging her to sing. She was seen saying that everything was fine and said, “You’re okay!”
Her words and the encouragement from the live audience gave Dolin the strength and confidence to perform. She sang Things A Man Oughta Know by Lainey Wilson.
Fans also came in to support her on social media, especially after Dolin called herself a side dish and compared herself to "mashed potatoes."
Take a look at how American Idol fans supported her online:
