LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘American Idol’ Season 22 contestant Avery Guinn did not get the chance to move ahead in the show. The ‘Haunted House’ actor scared the judges, making Katy Perry hide behind her chair.

Although the reason behind his elimination was not mentioned in the released clip, speculation suggests that his singing might not have resonated with the judges as much as his instrumental skills did.

Seeing ABC leave his audition round hanging without any answer made a fan comment, “Well, did he get through or not?” To this, another answered, “He should have gone through my opinion.” One slammed the artist, “What the hell? No pun intended! Lol!” 

A fan claimed, “That was honestly really creepy like a horror show lol. That’s a big no from me.”

One tweeted, “Avery Guinn wasn’t as good as William Hung but… it slaked my comedy thirst.”
