The ‘Harley’s in Hawaii’ fame singer Katy Perry is all set to be back on the judging panel of American Idol season 22. Well, the singer had to face backlash and strong criticism from viewers and fans of the show. Earlier, Perry’s quirky imitation, like a cat led idol fans to showcase their discontent and not want her to be a part of this show.
Perry received many rude rants and eventually became a target on social media. This backlash led to evidence to speculate that the pop star might be renewed for the next American Idol season. But the makers confirmed that Perry will be back on the panel for Idol season 22. Also, according to the sources, the singer has thought of leaving the singing show. The inside reports have claimed that the reality show producers mistreated her and portrayed her as the “nasty” judge.
Despite all the speculation, the Teenage Dream singer might soon be on the judging panel along with Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. This news was officially confirmed by the ABC network on Tuesday.
The show has announced the return of ‘judges’ via social media X(formerly known as Twitter.) They tweeted that “Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie will return as American Idol (season 22) judges along with the host Ryan Seacrest. Audition NOW!”
Katy Perry’s return on the American Idol Show made the Fans Furious
The pop star’s return on the show indeed made viewers’ eyes red. Despite all the controversies and the backlash, the critics still took a dig at her on social media. The tweet about Katy’s return to the panel has revoked the critics. One of the Twitter users tweeted that ” No one’s excited (referring to upcoming American Idol),” another penned that ” you can’t find single Katy Perry fan on this Planet wanted her (Katy Perry) to return (on the singing competition).”
However, the fans of the competition don’t want her to continue as the judge from the show in the previous season. In April, fellow judge Luke defended the singer and claimed critics unfairly targeted Perry. Previously in Season 21, the ‘roar’ singer was accused of mom-shaming and being condescending towards the various contestants.
However, the 38 years-old singer is currently enjoying her summer vacation. Recently on July 26, Perry was seen enjoying vacation with her fiancé Orlando Bloom in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera. The duo seemed relaxed and enjoying their vacation time with their little toddler, Daisy.
Both went on their gateway alongside Roman Abramovich’s ex-wife Dasha Zhukova and her partner Stavros Niarchos. Katy was seen wearing B&W off-shoulder cap sleeves dress with polka dots on it which has a button on the front. She opted casual look and featured an off-white T-shirt, shorts, and sandals matched up with a hat.
Overall, the pop singer’s controversies that happened on the scenes or behind the scenes, the production network ABC promoting it as ‘Lucky seventh season on ABC.’ The Trio judges are all set to create history with the new season alongside a new bunch of singing talents.
Also, the inside reports claim that Katy was genuinely passionate about nurturing the young talents (competitors on the singing show) and was disappointed because her (Katy’s) good intentions were misguided.
Earlier in American Idol season 21, several incidents made viewers furious and sparked outrage among fans, leading to Katy’s removal via social media. But among all the backlash, ABC has chosen to bring her back on the pan for the upcoming season.
Mistakes will be made by everyone, but correcting the mistakes and moving on always be appreciable. So, we hope that Katy’s upcoming American Idol season may have no controversies, and it will be filled the lots of love, a bunch of good singing talents, and fun throughout the season. Surely the singer gets all love back from the fans and viewers.
