LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'American Idol' contestant Nutsa Buzaladze had a star-studded performance on the April 17 episode but viewers couldn't determine whether they liked or disliked it. But one thing they are certain of is that the producers adore her.

Nutsa was prepared to slay the Top 26. The Season 21 'American Idol' contender hit the stage in Hawaii during the April 17 episode with the hopes of garnering America's vote and progressing in the competition. The 25-year-old is no stranger to dominating singing competitions. However, her recent performance has divided viewers and raised major concerns.

Nutsa 'glitter bomb the stage'

Nutsa initially performed Grace Potter's 'Paris' (Ooh La La) at the age of 13. Noah Cyrus attempts to soothe Nutsa. Nutsa admits to having a nervous breakdown in front of an audience. She ends the song with a backbend.

"Great job!" comments Luke Bryan. Lionel Richie comments, "That was just so wonderful to watch." Katy Perry comments, "You glitter bomb the stage." She dares Nutsa to leave the glitter at home the next time. "We want to be pulled in by our hearts."



 

'That was over the top and just a mess'

Accusing the producers for favoring Nutsa, a viewer tweeted, "Nutsa with the Pimp Spot on #AmericanIdol. How unbearable will this "performance" be?" Criticizing her performance further, a viewer wrote, "Nutsa's performance was definitely giving off North Shore High Winter Talent Show vibes." One joked, "Nutsa is giving me "A Little Bit Alexis" vibes. And not in a good way." A fourth person tweeted, "Can we just talk about how extra Nutsa is on #AmericanIdol #notafan."



 



 



 



 

A fan wrote, "Ummm, not no but…@Nutsa performance! Absolutely horrible." Calling the performance "over the top" a fan tweeted, "I really don't like Nutsa, that was over the top and just a mess. Except the move at the end...I like that. Otherwise in my opinion she is a NO. And the judges need to judge." Another user raised a question, "Why are the producers pushing Nutsa? She’s the only non American on American Idol. She oversings everything. I’m sure she kills in Dubai but she has no nuances. She just belts out every single song."



 



 



 

Redditors, pretty much shared the same view as they wrote, "Not them giving Nutsa the pimp spot." Another added, "Who do we think gets the pimp spot? I think they are pushing Nutsa."
