If you watched American Idol on Disney Night, you probably still have a knot in your stomach. In one of the biggest shocks of the season, the cool and talented Kyndal Inskeep was sent home. Even after she gave a beautiful performance of “Butterfly Fly Away,” she didn’t get enough votes to stay.
But if the internet thinks Kyndal is sitting at home crying, they have another thing coming!
Being a star on TV isn’t always easy. Some people on the internet have been mean to Kyndal. They made up “weird theories” about her face and her style. They said she didn’t “fit the look” of a winner. But Kyndal has a powerful message for those trolls: she doesn’t care! She stayed true to herself and her “cool girl” vibe the whole time. She knows she is good enough, and her real fans know it too.
