Luke Bryan shades Katy Perry for playing villain on 'American Idol' 2023
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The judges on 'American Idol' have been a hot-topic again this year. Each new season brings new judges with their own personalities and quirks. This season, Katy Perry takes center stage with her no-nonsense attitude and strong opinions about the contestants. However, Katy's opinions did not always go down well with viewers, and more than once she was accused of being "mean" to the contestants. While her fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie have certainly left their own mark on the show, it is Katy's personality that has drawn the most attention.
Nevertheless, both Luke and Lionel have come to her defense, stating that Katy's tough approach is necessary to help candidates grow and improve. In a recent interview, Luke talked about a "tense" moment during an episode. While he didn't go into detail, it's clear that Katy was certainly involved.

This time, however, it is not the contestants who are causing a stir, but one of the judges, Katy, who is being criticized for her "mean" comments towards the hopeful singers. The controversy took a new turn when her fellow judge, Luke addressed a "tense" moment during Hollywood Week. During their appearance on 'The View,' which aired March 28, the trio of judges discussed the current season and their individual music projects. When asked what fans can expect from Hollywood Week, Luke shared his thoughts and mentioned the tense moment. "Well, we had one Hollywood Week," he said, touching Katy's shoulder. "I mean, Katy had to get really- she had to get on somebody pretty good. I don't want to spoil too much, but it was one of the more tense moments we've ever had on the show." Lionel also spoke up, saying, "Oh yeah," when asked by Joy Behar if Katy yelled at someone. Katy added to the topic, and said, "It was pretty intense."
Did Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie back Katty Perry?
Luke's accusation against Katy caused quite a stir, but it was surprising how positive the reaction was. Katy did not miss the opportunity to defend herself against the accusations of being "mean." "You know, I stick up for those underdogs, and I don't - all of us - we have so much respect for music and the game and the whole thing," she expressed passionately. It was obvious that Lionel agreed with her as well, because he nodded along as Katy spoke. This season, it was Katy who stood up to those who disrespected the art of music, and the other judges felt that it was essential for the growth of the contestants.The hosts of 'The View' and the jurors agreed with Katy's statement, and the topic quickly shifted to the next question. The antics of the 'American Idol' judges continue to make headlines, and fans are eager to see how the rest of the season unfolds.
Katy Perry's attitude towards Sara Beth
As Sara Beth entered the audition room, the judges were taken aback by her status as a 25-year-old mother of three from California. But things quickly took a turn for the worse when Katy began making cutting remarks. "Honey, you've been laying on the table too much," Katy quipped, setting the tone for the rest of the audition. Despite Sara's efforts to impress the judges, Katy remained unimpressed. "Is this your dream? Is it now?" she asked. "If it's not your dream, you might need to leave coz there's a lot of dreams behind you.". Even after Sara finished performing, Katy was relentless in her criticisms. She demanded that Sara sing another song, insisting that her first effort wasn't enough. While Lionel and Luke gave Sara a standing ovation, Katy remained seated. "Look, if it's not your dream, then it's not gonna go far," she sneered. "I also respect everyone that's walking through that door who would lay down their life for this golden ticket, you know?" As Sara left the room, she couldn't help feeling defeated. But little did she know, her performance had already gone viral, and fans came in with messages of support from around the world.
