American Idol producers won’t rule out the backlash

Katy Perry received backlash this season. American Idol producers are paying attention to the social media criticism. Earlier this month, RadarOnline.com reported that she could get fired for her “rude and condescending” comments. Even some of the contestants want nothing to do with her.

“Katy has come under fire for harsh comments in the past, and now fans are upset over the way she humiliated a singing duo,” an insider told RadarOnline.com. “She demanded they perform before they’d had a chance to rehearse and then blasted their work as ‘underwhelming’ in front of a national audience!”

Most of the backlash stemmed from Katy Perry’s interaction with 25-year-old contestant Sara Beth Liebe. She quit the competition. During her audition, she revealed that she was a mom of three. Katy made a weird comment that Sara spent too much time laying on the table.
