ABC’s American Idol returned on Sunday with a new episode chocked full of auditions in Nashville and Los Angeles, including one expletive-laden original song.

Sophie Powers, a 20-year-old singer and fashion designer from Toronto, took to the stage in a pastel pink jacket and green pants that had hearts with her initials SP in the middle.

She told Idol judges Carrie Underwood – who returns as a judge 20 years after winning the show – Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan that her original song was, ‘a tearjerker for sure.’

While none of the judges were crying by the end, most were laughing, as her original song was called STFU – a.k.a. Shut the F**k Up.

Many Idol staffers were heard laughing hysterically off-camera, and even Underwood, Richie and Bryan could resist letting out a few laughs.

Of course, all three judges gave her a no, sending her home, but many fans on social media thought it was hilarious, while others were not amused at all, with some comparing her to Idol ‘legend’ William Hung.

The song begins with some verses about a pet lizard named George that made her bored, so she gave him to her mom because ‘animals are better than people.’

She then goes on about people trying to ‘cancel’ her and admitting she ‘doesn’t even like my job.’

The song then picks up the pace as she rattles off people and things she wants to, ‘Shut the f**k up,’ like, Karens, vegans and even babies.

Lionel was thrown for quite the loop, as staffers could be heard cracking up laughing, as the next verse was aimed at laundry, war and dinosaurs, as Luke started laughing.

The last verse was aimed at traffic, people and groceries, which even got Carrie to laugh, as the song came to an end, and Sophie dryly proclaimed, ‘That’s it.’

The judges were clearly at a loss for words, as Sophie asked, ‘How do you feel, Lionel?’ 

‘I’m mortified,’ Lionel responded, while Luke added that his wife, ‘would play me that song every evening. You should have put, “Luke, shut the f**k up.”‘

Carrie added, ‘You’ve clearly got a thing going, you are interesting. You know, obviously in the context of American Idol, I don’t know how you would fit in here.’

Sophie added, ‘Yeah, neither do I. I’m literally Canadian, so…’ as Lionel laughed, and Carrie said, ‘It’s a no for American Idol.’

Both Lionel and Luke gave her a no as well, as she smiled and walked off stage, while many reacted online, one fan even comparing Sophie to William Hung, who went viral on Idol in 2004 for his horrendous audition to Ricky Martin’s She Bangs.

Elsewhere on the episode, the final singer of the night – Filo – a singer born and raised in Egypt and now living in California, was given the next Platinum Ticket, advancing him through Week 2 of the Hollywood round.

Another singer, Bryson Quick, was given another special opportunity, a chance to sing at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, alongside former Idol winner Chayce Beckham.

Sophie wasn’t the only one to be rejected by the judges, with 14-year-old Kase Tippens turned away, with the judges saying he wasn’t quite ready yet.

Underwood even shared some sage advice with the singer, revealing a story from her youth as well.

‘When I was 15 years old, I had an artist development thing with a big record label, and it didn’t work out. And it was the best thing for me,” she ᴀssured Kace. “If that had happened, then it would have not gone anywhere, and that would be the end of my story. It’s not a no, it’s a no for today. But you are incredible,’ she said.

American Idol returns with a new round of auditions on Sunday, March 23 at 8 PM ET only on ABC.
