Kenzie Elizabeth gets no from 'American Idol' judges, fans say 'stick to musical theater'

Fans too agreed with the judges' assessment and felt that Kenzie should stick to Broadway and musicals

The competition for bagging the golden ticket to Hollywood on 'American Idol' Season 20 is pretty cut-throat,  but that didn't stop Kenzie Elizabeth from trying her luck. The Musical Theater enthusiast/ nanny decided to audition for the hit ABC show with Avril Lavigne's 'I'm With You'. 

She surprised the show's judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan with her vocal range. Banking on her ventriloquist skills, Kenzie effortlessly juggled between various notes and definitely left the judges tongue-tied. Despite her vocal range, sadly Kenzie failed to secure the golden ticket from the judges. The judges lauded her singing but felt that she was better suited for broadway and theater.
