The 22-year-old stylist followed in her mother Nadia Turner's footsteps to audition for American Idol. The host, Ryan Seacrest, introduced the alum and her daughter to the judges and said:
"So this is Nadia. Nadia was a Top 10 finalist, Season 4. And this is her dope daughter Zaréh who is auditioning today. She thought she was going for a spa day."
Zaréh revealed that her mother had just found out that she was going to be auditioning for the singing competition. The contestant also wore the same clothes that her mother wore during her audition. The judges were surprised at the turn of events but were also happy to see two generations on the same stage.
The contestant performed Bust Out Your Windows by Jazmine Sullivan. Her audition came as a surprise to her mother, who was emotional by the end of her performance. Lionel Richie passed his handkerchief to Nadia. He said:
"If you could have seen your mother while she was singing..she's crying...no seriously of the word called 'pride,' your mom was blowing up over it. I didn't know Season 20 was gonna bring us that next step."
Luke Bryan felt that the contestant gave the judges an amazing performance and said:
"You killed that song. In your zone, you are tremendous. I think when you stop getting to the top levels of your range, griddy it up a little bit, dig in and just put some grease on it, you know what I mean?"
Katy Perry confessed that Zaréh had the "beginnings of a true artist," with a cool vibe to her songs. The contestant got her golden ticket to Hollywood, leaving both mother and daughter shocked and emotional.
Viewers will have to tune in weekly to see how far Zaréh makes it on American Idol. This week will be the final round of auditions on the show, and the stage was graced by a guest visit from Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx. The show will also air another episode on Monday, March 21, 2022.
