Kenedi Anderson, who was a fan-favorite on Season 20 of "American Idol," chose to leave the competition due to personal reasons (via Insider). She then took to Instagram to explain her reasoning for stepping away from the high-stakes singing competition show.
"For personal reasons, I'm unable to continue on 'American Idol.' This has been one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, but I know it's necessary. I'm so grateful to 'American Idol,' the judges, the producers, the amazing contestants, and all the fans who have supported me," the talented singer shared.
When Anderson auditioned, the judges were stunned by her beautiful and mature voice. She shared that music was always something that helped her (via Parade). "Music really is my therapy. Whenever I'm frustrated, whenever I'm feeling down, music is the one thing that has stuck with me, no matter what," she explained on the show. "I'm happy where I am now, and I'm thankful for all the experiences that led me to this point. I feel that there's no better time in my life right now to audition for 'American Idol.'"
Fans thought she could have won the whole competition, but now support her decision to walk away. One fan even commented on her Instagram post, "I literally gasped. I'm so sad. Well wishes to you." Now, she may even become known as one of the most epic "American Idol" auditions ever.
