During 'American Idol' season 17, Katy Perry drew audience attention after tearing up on multiple occasions. She is easily moved with great performances and that results in her tearing up quite often.

The most recent incident occurred when one of the contestants — Dimitrius Graham — revealed to the judges that he had just learned that his mother is scheduled for a surgery the day after and that he will not be present by her side. He dialled her on Facetime and she watched her son perform for the auditions. Katy started weeping as she held the phone in one hand.

Soon after this, there was another performance by one Alejandro Aranda which elicited an interesting reaction from her and co-judge Luke Bryan. The two threw their jackets at the contestant to show their appreciation.

We decided to take a look at the top five celebrity breakdown moments on reality TV.
