Carrie Underwood Orders American Idol Season 23 Contestant To Never Say These Words Again Amid Signs She’s Failing As A Judge

American Idol judge Carrie Underwood gave a contestant some good advice at her audition by telling her not to use certain words to describe herself. For American Idol season 23, Carrie is taking Katy Perry's place at the judging table, alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. Carrie won American Idol season 4 in 2005, and has since gone on to become a global superstar. However, she's faced some backlash because she performed at President Donald Trump's inauguration, which has led some people to believe that she's failing as a judge.

During a preview clip, Carrie ordered auditioning American Idol season 23 contestant Breanna Nix of Denton, Texas, to "never say I'm just a stay-at-home mom," after the hopeful described herself that way.

In a clip shared by Parade, Carrie ordered auditioning American Idol season 23 contestant Breanna Nix of Denton, Texas, to "never say I'm just a stay-at-home mom," after the hopeful described herself that way. The video began with Carrie saying, "The thing that excites me the most about American Idol is being able to be part of somebody’s story. People bring their kids in, and I get to snuggle with a kiddo watching their mom."

In the preview, Breanna asked Carrie if her son could sit with her while she auditioned, which Carrie answered with an enthusiastic yes. When she introduced herself, Breanna said, "I'm just a stay-at-home mom." As Carrie held Breanna's son in her lap, she replied, "Never say I’m just a stay-at-home mom."

Breanna then said of her son, "To know that he's watching his mama go chase after her dreams, I just hope that one day he'll do the same thing." After Breanna auditioned with Carrie's song, "Jesus, Take The Wheel," Carrie hugged her. Then the Idol judge said, "It was an honor to listen to you sing that song."
