Two 'American Idol' Contestants Have Quit During Hollywood Week in 2023, Including the Daughter of a Famous Musician

Sara Beth Liebe – QUIT DURING ROUND 1 OF HOLLYWOOD WEEK

Sara Beth confessed to the cameras that she hadn’t realized “quite how hard it would be” to be away from her kids, and that she felt mom-guilt over doing “something completely selfish.”

Following her performance for the judges, who were wowed by it, she then revealed she’d be leaving.

“This opportunity is really rad but this is actually gonna be my last performance ’cause my heart’s at home,” she told them, who were all in disbelief. “So I’m gonna get home to my babies, they kind of need me. So thank you, thanks.”

Katy tried to get her to stay, but was unsuccessful.
