A video of Hannah Harper and Kyndal Inskeep singing in a bathroom has gone totally viral, but not just because of their beautiful voices. While they were singing a worship song called “Holy Spirit,” Fans noticed something that started a huge fight online.
While Hannah sat there looking like a perfect doll, Kyndal’s face was scrunched up, her nose was flaring, and she looked like she was in a total trance.

Now that Kyndal has been sent home, her fans are asking a tough question: Did she lose because she didn’t look “pretty” enough while singing?
In the world of social media, everyone wants everything to look perfect. This is called “Pretty Privilege.” On Disney Night, Hannah Harper sang her heart out and looked like a princess the entire time. Her face stayed calm, and she looked “camera-ready” every second. Because she is so “aesthetically pleasing,” some fans argue she gets a pass even when her stage presence is a little boring.
Kyndal is the exact opposite. When she sings, she gives 100% of her soul, but that means her face moves in “weird” ways. She scrunches her eyes and makes funny expressions because she is working so hard to hit those giant notes. On the Top 9 Disney Night, people were meanly commenting on her “scary” faces instead of listening to her talent.

The “Justice for Kyndal” fans are furious. They believe that American Idol has turned into a beauty pageant. If a singer has to worry about looking like a supermodel while hitting a high note, are we even listening to the music anymore? They claim that Kyndal is a relatable human for all of us when we sing in the car without caring how we look.
On the other side, Hannah’s fans say that being a star means you have to have the “whole package,” which includes looking good on stage. This debate is making the “Holy Spirit” video a huge controversy. One girl looks like a serene angel, and the other looks like a “meme” in the making.
It seems the voters might have chosen “Perfect” over “Passion.” Kyndal’s elimination suggests that if you don’t fit the “perfect” look that producers want, you might not make it to the Top 7. Even though her voice is one of the best in the competition, the scrunched-up faces might have been too much for a shallow audience to handle!
