Is Katy Perry doing her greatest to disregard the American Idol critics???
For those that haven’t been maintaining, the 38-year-old singer has been dealing with a ton of backlash all through season 21 of the singing competitors collection attributable to her “rude” feedback towards a few of the contestants. The controversy began when she was accused of “mom-shaming” by Sara Beth Liebe. During her audition, Katy joked the aspiring musician was “laying on the table too much” for being a mother of three on the age of 25.

Following the awkward second, Sara made it by way of to Hollywood Week. Her American Idol journey sadly got here to an finish when she determined to depart the competitors to be together with her youngsters. After her sudden exit, she then clarified she was “not even mad” at Katy over what occurred on the finish of the day.
But the Teenage Dream artist’s “mean” streak didn’t finish as soon as Sara dropped out of the present! Katy additionally got here beneath hearth (and obtained booed) after criticizing contestant Nutsa Buzaladze for dressing in sparkly costumes. The backlash continued a couple of weeks later when she begged American Idol followers to vote after Wé Ani was not eradicated from the competitors – however decide favourite Elijah McCormick had been kicked off. Yikes…
Katy has not had the most effective season, to say the least. It’s been so dangerous that followers have been even hoping she was completely faraway from the present after Ryan Seacrest introduced that Alanis Morissette and Ed Sheeran are becoming a member of Luke Bryan on the judges’ desk subsequent week instead of Katy and Lionel Richie. However, the transfer is barely momentary for the reason that two judges will likely be in London to carry out at King Charles’ coronation live performance. Still, followers are clearly not vibing with Miz Katy this season!
So what does she take into consideration the social media frenzy surrounding her “rude” habits? Well, the momma of 1 doesn’t appear too nervous about it! According to Page Six, a supply shared that Katy isn’t letting the criticism from viewers or contestants get her down proper now:
“Katy isn’t fazed by the backlash. This has been a roller-coaster season with a lot of great talent, so she is just doing her job.”
The insider went on to defend the Firework singer, saying she “has a unique sense of humor that may not always translate well on camera, but she never has any ill intent.” They then added:
“She’s a mentor and a friend to the contestants.”
“Friend to the contestants” may be a stretch – not less than for a couple of of them! Sara Beth would possibly really feel otherwise about that…
Let’s be actual right here, although! Have there been a couple of not-so-good moments from Katy this season? Yes. But it’s nothing just like the early days of American Idol when Simon Cowell was reigning with terror over the decide’s desk! Some of these feedback from him again then have been fairly brutal…
