Katy Perry feels drama after Wé Ani’s performance

On Sunday’s episode of American Idol, Katy Perry admitted that she was feeling the drama after Wé Ani’s performance. However, she couldn’t say anything more about it. The judge has already been under fire for her shady comments this season. Fans took her comment as shade.

During the show, the hopeful performed Adele’s Skyfall.” Wé Ani made it into the Top 20. Just moments prior, Elijah McCormick was eliminated from the show. Katy Perry admitted that she couldn’t concentrate on the performance because she still had Elijah on her mind. She was still riding high off that drama.

The “Dark Horse” singer advised the viewers to vote. She felt that their vote was more important than what she had to say. Katy has to carefully choose her words this season. She might lose her job after the growing backlash.

“I’m just so shook right now. First of all, by the results, and I’m also shook by that song, it’s so dramatic,” Katy Perry shared. “There’s so much drama going through my body right now, I need a nap. But the truth is, America, you guys have the votes. You’re the ones voting and if you’re not voting, you’re not going to use your voice.”

She shared that no one’s favorites are safe from here on out. American Idol fans took to Twitter to call out the pop star for her comments. Many took that as a diss toward Wé Ani’s performance. Some could read between the lines and see that Katy favored Elijah over her.

Was the Idol judge rude?

Fans speculated about what Katy Perry said. Most of them argued that Wé Ani deserved to be part of the Top 20. Even her fellow judge Luke Bryan received criticism for his comments. Luke agreed with her and shared that it’s a crucial time to vote.

However, fans think Wé Ani deserved her moment up there. They’re tired of the judges picking favorites. Katy Perry has also been criticized for the way she’s treated the female contestants in Season 21. Last week, she was booed after she told contestant Nutsa Buzaladze to tone it down. Nutsa already had a difficult season with the judges.
