An American Idol contestant is making amends for a tough time on last week’s episode.
Nutsa Buzaladze has been a fan favorite on the show so far this season. But she wasn’t a favorite of her duet partner Carina DeAngelo last episode when the two got together for the show’s vaunted Hollywood Week. And now, after the dust has settled on that duet dust-up, Nutsa is coming clean to judge Katy Perry after a very awkward on-camera interaction!

So, first, if you missed it last week, Nutsa and Carina were paired up to sing a duet in front of judges Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan. Things didn’t go so well from the very beginning, though. Carina explained to producers how Nutsa went to sleep the night before their performance instead of staying up to rehearse.
After a long night of stops and starts, the two women got on stage together in front of the judging trio. There, Katy asked how rehearsals went, and Carina admitted something less-than-ideal happened:
Nutsa looked on in shock — and silence — amid that reveal in front of the high-powered judges!
As you can see (below), the tension was seriously palpable during the entirety of last week’s duet drama:
Of course, as American Idol fans know, Carina did NOT end up making it through the duet round following their ill-fated performance.
The judges did keep Nutsa around, though. But Katy counseled the star-to-be while on stage that she needed to have “more grace” in working with and performing alongside other singers. Oof!
