She had a tough time this week, getting sick and nearly losing her voice. But, on Thursday, Inskeep said she's ready to stay in the race on Disney night next Monday.
She's selected a Janis Joplin song.
"So, it really came down to the lyrics. This just rang true to me in the space I was in. Do I wanna be a really tough woman who goes out there and does everything that she possibly can?" she said. "It was a struggle for me Monday night. I'll be honest about that. I got through it, and I'm proud of myself for doing that. You know I say this every time, Hosea, but the grace of God himself was on that stage with me. And he carried me through. I have no idea how because there was nothing coming out. But something came out."
The judges were honest with Inskeep.
"It was kind of an 'ouchy' moment for me for sure, not doing my best in front of the crowd and the judges but all of America as well. It was a very humbling experience for sure," Inskeep said.
The credits were actually when she got the word she was going through.
"I was not expecting that, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity. Being a part of the top nine is such a dream and opens so many doors. It's been a crazy challenge; so to make it this far, everything else is overflow at this point," Inskeep said.
