'American Idol' judge Luke Bryan had an awkward encounter with contestant Madaí ChaKell, who ultimately mocked the country singer during her final performance.

'American Idol' is heating up with so much drama this season. On Sunday's episode, which culminated in the final 24 contestants moving forward to the next round, judge and country crooner Luke Bryan got into a tiff with contestant Madaí ChaKell, 22. The singer took issue with his commentary, choosing to mock his Southern accent at the end of her performance.

Before she started singing, ChaKell hinted that she could imitate accents and change her tone of voice. 'I think you're still a year or two away really perfecting who you are as the individual artist,' Bryan told the Massachusetts native. 'I think you're just trying to grab people's attention,' Perry, also a judge, added. 'So you want to grab it, and then you want to hold it.

It was a little shaky in some spots, but thanks for performing for us,' he told her before she walked off-stage. The audio then cut to a distraught ChaKell explaining what went wrong. 'My pianist completely just flipped the script on what we practiced.
