Top 3: Katy Perry wakes up in VegasKaty Perry is dressed like a freaky, chick Elvis.  I get it since her song is "Waking Up in Vegas" and she mentions dressing up like Elvis in the song, but along with the feather-plumed showgirls, it's all a bit much for me. The camera dude is loving those shots from the back as Katy displays her assets in her sparkly costume. And should she really have had Adam's name on the back of her cape even though the voting was already done? No wonder he spoke up and said he wanted to see her perform! There is just so much happening on the stage that I'm not sure I am even really hearing the song. And perhaps that was the point. I'm with Danny in wanting to know already. |

i like katyy!!!!
Her performance, like the rest of her work, was a clear indication of how empty her work is. It's a musical abortion.
I loved her costume but hated how it said adams name on the back it was ugly!
People on here crack me up, you talk that Katy Perry "did horrible", or "what a mess", and "what kind of role model she is". So let me get this straight, you think Kenya West is such a role model? What do you say about the rappers they have on the show?, lyrics that are NOT suitable for anyone to listen to? huh? HUH?
To whoever wrote the article. Of course Adam said he wanted to hear Katy Perry sing. Shes been listed as one of his favorite female singers since the beggining of the AI season. I dont like the insinuation that he knew what she was going to do. I personally loved seeing his name on her cape. Shes a grown Woman, she can express her opinion in whatever fashion she wants too like it or not. But wish she wouldnt of done it. It may hurt Adam with the votes now because of simple minded ppl who would blame Adam for something he had no control over.
If Katy Perry had auditioned for Amer Idol, she wouldn't have made it to the finals...good grief..
The only think Katy Perry did right was have Adam's name on her cape. Other than that....what a DISASTER!!!!!! I can't believe people are in to this crappy music.
Yes, Katy gave A finger but not THE finger. Watch it again if you can. The line of the song was about a wedding ring. She shot a fake bird by using her left ring finger.
In grade school I jammed my left ring finger playing vollyball. I had a spint on that finger for a week+. Ever since, I can shot a fake bird with that finger. It takes a double take to know the difference. I can't do that with my right hand for anything.
My wife noticed Katy doing that and said "she's doing what you can do" and hit rewind to watch it a couple times.
Is it "discusting"? I guess to some. Even though it looked like the real thing, it wasn't and isn't likely to get nailed by the FCC.
Let me put it this way-if Katy Perry were auditoning for Idol last night, she would not have made it. The song was horrible and the outfit was almost worse. Those of us who are not Adam Lambert fans thougth that was in bad taste. Please do not bring her back. I agree she must be the Paris Hilton of song, She is only slightly talented,.
song's great. keep up doing good songs!
no comment! lol
Song was ok but she looked GREAT!
FUNNY OUTFITS–AWFUL SONG. KATY , YOU CAN DO BETTER
I am finding the unanimous negative vote for Katy uplifting. Dubya P, said they could not believe that FOX allowed such trash to be aired while are young children are watching, I agree. But obviously FOX is following the TEX mentality who said – join in 2009, your kids won't care about sexual orientation when they grow up! Percisely the problem TEX, you have a herd mentality, everybody's doing it so it can't be wrong. Plus, you are a defetist to give up on our kids. Kids will only care if their parents and other role models care! I am encouraged that so many young people think Katy's performance was trashy and not suitable for prime-time TV. We need more young people to take a stand for good moral values.
And to NED, you made my day, that is exactley what Katy looked like, thanks for the laugh on a rather slow day.
Dont like her she is promoting Adam and that take away from the show. Why AI allow this to happen
Katy Perry was awful. Rude, out of breath, giving the finger...she doesn't have an ounce of class in her. I feel for her parents – especially her father who is a minister! Kanye West was awful when he was on. He cannot sing (thank you Kris Allen for actually SINGING the song Heartless) No Doubt was a close runner up as the worst performance I have ever heard on Idol. Gwen Stefani made me mute the television. And they call these people "stars". I'll take Danny, Kris, or Adam any day over these freaks that have perform on this show. Dear Lord I am willing to bet that just about anybody can get a record deal these days and that ain't saying much!
why did she come out with ADAM LAMBERT on her cape in big letters
rose
That is one weird Chick! EEEWWWWW, I REALLY don't like her at all! Didn't she sing the song, I Kissed a girl and I liked it? SO FREEGIN WHAT! You are weird! You look Weird and are.... Yikes! I hope you don't show up on too many more programs.......
I agree with some of the other writings, that the perfomers on American Idol are tons more talented than the likes of her..... EEEEWWWWWW!!!!! PLLEEZZ GO AWAY!
Beautiful woman, but horrible voice and outfit. I couldn't wait for the song to end. Maybe one the showgirls could do a better job?? 🙂
I believe having Adam's name on her cape might have embarrassed him.
I'm not an Adam fan but I believe he will be the next AI... very creative. I'm hoping Kris goes far with his talent and keeps his singing pure and simple– nice person (I love his dad).
What an absolutely horrible song. She looked bad and disinterested and sounded simply horrible. I don't know what America sees in her, but hopefully these 15 minutes will be over soon.
Yes, Adam is a screamer. But the guys dig it.
Adam doing "One" was great until he had (can he try without just once???) to start the scream fest.
I'm not a huge Idol fan but the wife watches all the time so it's hard to avoid in my house. Gokey and Adam were my choices for the final two one the group of 13 started the real challenge. Just have grown tired of both at this point.
Go Kris. Guess I'll have to vote for the first time. One down (Gokey), one to go (Adam).
I'm convinced they bring on people like Katy Perry, Kanye and Hannah Montana (lol) to prove to the world that American Idol really does find talent compared to the garbage that arises elsewhere.
That was one scary performance.
She's cute but boring. Don't know why they make such a big deal out of her. Lots of other cute girls who can sing and aren't boring.
Now there's an entertainer!
all of the idols are better singers than that Katy girl. She was dreadful.
she was awful, seemed nervous, and can't sing. good thing for gimmicks.
Loved the cape. Hated the Wonder Woman shorts.
Please – Jamie Fox was gushing over Kris and saying he would make a record with him. If that isn't a celeb endorsement, I don't know what is!
I really think it showed poor taste for her to have Adam's name on the cape. I would hate to know he was being shoved down my throat, instead of winning on talent.
she was awful!
she was terrible.
The performance was a mess. Any one of the idols could have sung better than Kathy. She sung flat, and pitchy.
Pretty girl...stupid song. Do the producers put these people on the show to make the contestants look better? (not necessary. we know they are talented) None of them, besides Paula, would make it to Hollywood if they auditioned for the show.
As for the cape, I sure hope she hasn't hurt Adam with that dumb ploy.
What a waste of time Katy Perry is! Who she is and what her "talent" is, is a mystery to me! All the connections that Fox has, you would think that they would have someone of quality and good taste and most of all...with some talent. for this show. I'll bet 3/4 of the people that watch Idol have never even heard of this chick. Come on Idol....use your resources and get some REAL talent to perform as guest! Geeesh!
Katy Perry can't carry a tune in a bucket. She's a novelty act who had a novelty hit (kissed a girl). How do people like this get contracts? And the music execs wonder why music doesn't sell the way it use to?
We are not tone deaf..this gril sucks!!
Katy Perry...LOVE HER!!!!! She is just gorgeous.....and a performer...GO girl!!!!
Soooo inappropriate! The cape should have been "banned." That was hardly and accident. So RIGGED!!!
This blog area is supposed to be for posts re: Katy Perry. Some of you don't seem to get that. Having pointed that out, ...KATY PERRY SUCKS!!!!! Not only would she not make it to Hollywood on American Idol, I am convinced that she is sleeping with some influential person. That can be the only explanation for her apparent success. If we must be subjected to a novelty act, please put Weird Al on. He's much more talented, and way more entertaining.
Why does everyone cry "BIAS!" just because Katy wore that cape? I guess she is not entitled to her opinion? The votes were in and I hardly think that a cape would add or subtract talent from those in the competition...she is certainly not the only one in Hollywood rooting for Adam. Rude? Danny, Kris.....GET OVER IT.....HOLLYWOOD IS MUCH MORE CRUEL THAN THAT
I love both Kris and Adam, but the fact is while Kris may be a better singer, Adam has more of a stage presence and will go further.
Even if Kris wins, I really think Adam will be the bigger star... similar to Clay Aiken being more known than Ruben. Adam is garaunteed a record deal (as is pretty much all of the top 10). But Adam will be more known, as his market is massive. You guys should know by now it isnt talent necessary that counts its stage presence... Britney anyone?
Oh and Jim, if you think Adam isn't idol worthy because of him being gay, I feel sorry for you. And I will keep you in my prayers, that you will learn Not to Judge.

Yes I saw that and thought it was completely out of line. I won’t watch Idol again. Adam screams his so called songs, and he is definitely not someone I want my kids looking up to as an IDOL.. he is openly gay, and the judges have said from the beginning he would win. Well they get what they want.. They lost the best two when they lost allison last week and danny this week..
I HOPE YOUR KIDS DONT LOOK UP TO YOU..........OPEN YOUR MOND BOZO, ITS 2009
This is a glaring example of how bad the music business sucks. who signed this loser to a record deal. And now we have the Gayster Adam Lambert ready to assault us with his lack of talnet. Trust me his career will be short lived.
A lot of celebrities endorse their Idol choice. Even the ones that perfrom are usually asked who they are rooting for. Remember last year with Natasha Bedingfield stated she was rooting for Archuleta. Not a big deal.
Hey listen here bub, I thought the performance was SUPERB. And this is democracy, everyone has a voice everyone has a vote, its a free country and the show had nothing to do with her and that cape. It was completely her thing AND I GIVE HER KUDOS FOR IT. I think Katy Perry rocks and so does Adam Lambert.
SHE WAS THERE TO PROMOTE DANNY. PLEASE PULL THE PLUG ON AMERICAN IDOL.
All style. Zero substance. Nuf said.
OMG, she is awful...the performance last night was painful....
WHO IS KATY PERRY AND WHY DID SHE ATTEMPT TO SING ON IDOL?
OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT COULD OF, WOULD OF AND SHOULD OF SANG, WHO PICKED HER.
THE PEOPLE VOTED OFF SING MUCH BETTER THAN SHE DID.
IDOL BLEW IT WITH PICKING HER TO PERFORM.
to Jim –
Choosing to not like Adam because you think he "screams" is one thing. Wanting somebody to not win because "he'd make a bad role model for my kids...he's openly gay" is another, entirely.
I can't decide if I hope your kids grow up to be gay so they might help rid you of your ignorance, of if I hope they don't because I wouldn't wish upon anyone the experience of having their parents love them less for who they happen to be.
Feel free to join 2009. Trust me, when your kids are you age they wont give a flying about anyone's sexual orientation.
It should never have been allowed. That was a tactic to get her fans to vote for Adam next week.
Simon should not have voiced his favoritism for Adam on the Ellen show and on Oprah...but he did. All judges and performers on the show should remain neutral.
This is clearly not a fair competition!
She just kind of... sucks. Bad song, bad singing, bad look... That she had Adam's name on her *cape* didn't do him any favors, honestly.
she looked like a grown woman wearing a huggies diaper and a cape. she can't sing, she can't dance, her legs are full of cellulite. awful. the song is awful too. how can someone like her can become a star?
Can't wait to hear what Whoopi, Joy, Shari, Elizabeth and Barbara have to say about that, but for me miss katy, who I've never heard of before is now on the list with britney, paris, lindsey, and anna nicole, when ever they are mentioned on TV or Radio, I change the channel
I thought she sounded terrible... and whose idea was that God awful costume with her bottom hanging out?? If this is what we consider good musical entertainment these days, then we're in for an ugly future. Again, she was terrible.
Well I LOVED Katey! Go Adam! Viva Las Vegas!
Oh please. The votes were in, her cape noted that she is a fan of the show and has a favorite. No big woop. She was still not great though. As for Adam being gay, it is others who have the problem, not him.
Well, I hope it was worth canceling her concert in Houston for. She was slated to be at House of Blue on May 12th but backed out "due to illness." This was the second time she'd postponed.
Didn't look that sick to me, but ugh, the singing might have been a clue.
Katy Perry is a piece of trash.. That was so disrespectful to Danny and Kris. She was invited to sing on American Idol not to campaign for votes for Adam. That was disgusting on her part. Very low class of her, Not that she had class to begin with anyway.
I don't get Katy Perry and the other young female singers like her who are so popular today. Her singing voice sounded like one fo those Idol rejects from Idol audition weeks. She is a pretty girl...but I really would like to hear what it is about ,her gasping for air all the time she is trying to sing, that makes you buy her CD's? She dresses tacky too. IS that IN now?
I agree with the poster that said "don't punish Adam" for something he has no control over. The guy has worked his whole life for a break......Idol is it. He's never been a preacher, worked on an oil rig, or just a guy with a job that could sing......he has devoted his life to being a performer and in the end, isn't that what American Idol is all about? Finding those that are looking for their shot to be on stage in front of America. Adam's week to week range of performances were unlike any of the other seasons.........he deserves the crown. He doesn't produce the show or hire the guest.
Why isn't anyone crying foul when Jamie Foxx was on american idol and said Kris your my number 1.??????????????? It is not Kris's or Adam's fault what stars say.
Back when Adam made the Top 36, he mentioned that he and Katy Perry were friends - THAT explains the cape and the fact that he wanted to see her.
I kinda of like the cheeks! Not the song though. the cape thing surprised me as well. i am an Adam fan and Chis last night surprised me but I don't think he is talented enough to make or sell millions of albums, Adam is and will sell millions. Just another rock star destined to bring back the 80's and more!
This woman wouldn't have lasted through Hollywood Week on American Idol. What a zero.
WTH was that? She's actually popular??? What was with giving the finger? She should have wrapped the cape around her backside. As Simon would say "it sounded very karaoke!!"
aren't you over reacting with the cap??? no one would be saying crap right now if the name on the cap was Danny lol
I've watched AI since the first show of the first season. It doesn't matter any more who gets the votes. Hasn't anyone realized that? Look at Chris Doughtrey (sp?). Voted off well before the finals and turned out to be the star. The you have Fantasia and Reuben, both winners, but what happened to them? Just because somebody can carry a tune doesn't mean people are going to buy their music. It's one thing to watch them on TV and another to shell out money for a ticket to their concert. AI is a platform to showcase talent. That's it. The only thing the voting accomplishes .... it keeps the phone companies in business.
I agree that it was rude for her to have Adam's name on her cape, but stop blaming Adam! It's not his fault so many people love him!
I was very surprised producers permitted her cape with Adam's name. But this is Fox entertainment – not PBS!
Come on now - it is not any fault of Adam's that Katy is fan
this is a good post...i felt the same way.....
and that outfit...oh my goodness....cheeks hanging out...jiggle thighs...it would have been much nicer to have even a half wrap on the backside....i thought the song was awful.....just my view.
She sounded like the amatuer she is...has NO stage presence and moves like Quasimodo. The cape was really not fair.
I agree DogTracker, the show was blantantly obvious this year. They seemed to have total lack of regard to the other two contestants who were there all along as well. Didn't they work just as hard and try just as much to win? Somehow Fox and the judges have forgotten about them. I wonder if Kris wins if they skip over him, and just interview Adam. Sad, how pathetic it became this year. Doubt I'll follow it next year.
But I'm game for boycotting Adam to send a message to Fox – "THEIR WINNER ISN'T MINE". I think kris is much more talented anyway. No screams that sounds like whiny girl crying for her doll. Waaaawaaaaaa.
Totally agree. Between Simon beggin for people to vote for Adam and the pathetic favortism of Katy Perry I sincerely hope Adam loses.
Perhaps this will teach the judges if they have a favorite maybe they should sign them off the bat and not sneakily push for them throughout the whole season.
Where do they FIND these FREAKS? More importantly: WHY????
When listening to the "judges" or looking at the embroidered "Adam Lambert" advertisement on the back of an Elvis Cape during tonight's show, one has to wonder if Simon or Fox executives are interested in American opinion.
I think it was incredibly self indulgent to use Simon's terms to allow the plea by Simon to make sure people voted or to allow Adam's name to be embroidered onto Katy Perry's cape. The hype around Adam has reached a fevered pitch "scream" that I would hope some are becoming tired of.
I'd like to suggest that when voting occurs next week that America considers sending a message to Simon and Fox that the deliberate bias needs to stop. There were two other contestants to consider who worked just as hard and deserve their respect as well. The cowtowing just to avoid being labeled as "phobic" is silly. As Randy has said over and over.... "This is a singing contest."
How dare Katy Perry imply she has the talent of an American Idol contestant? As much as I like to downplay the ability of the singers on this show, Katy Perry wouldn't even make it to Hollywood.
Katy's cape said it all. "Adam Lambert". Love them! They should tour together.
I am sure Idol had no idea what was on her cape and she probably just created a fiasco similar to the Superbowl and Janet and Justin. Not good. I just hope it doesn't hurt Adam in the finale; I am sure he knew nothing about his name on the cape. He is amazing.
Just watching her whole performance tonight was like watching a train wreck! I don't get what people see in her. Even her singing is atrocious! God, I hope her career is short lived! Plus the cape thing was totally inappropriate and the producers should have stopped her from advertising her favorite idol.
Adam had nothing to do with Katy Perry's cape. Don't punish him with a backlash. He's probably as shocked about the results and happy that his dream didn't just end. Hate him for his singing if you must but don't be turned off because others are rooting for him... he can't control what everyone else does.
It wasn't even the cape, it was the whole outfit, the backup singers & dancers too. Paula's was routine last week was disgusting as well.
What Kate Perry did tonight was VERY UNCOOL. When you are invited as a performer at Am Idol, you should NOT be wearing gear displaying the name of one performer over the others. I really couldn't believe it - I kept expecting her to put on capes with the names of hte other two on it. So rude. I am a HUGE fan of Adam Lambert - voting for him, pulling for him. It's not about that. What Kate Perry did was very very rude. I hope no one invites her on their shows anymore. You don't pull that kind of stuff.
Uhhhh, yeah, right, whatevs.
Yes I saw that and thought it was completely out of line. I won't watch Idol again. Adam screams his so called songs, and he is definitely not someone I want my kids looking up to as an IDOL.. he is openly gay, and the judges have said from the beginning he would win. Well they get what they want.. They lost the best two when they lost allison last week and danny this week..
Tab....they have to call the owners of the songs before they are performed...it's mandatory/legal....and U2 owns their own music...not their management company or label.
I love it when they have a guest artist who wouldn't qualify for California. LOL. First Miley and now Katie.
And Katie would be an Adam fan. He's her type of music more than the others.
This girl cannot sing. What a mess!!
What Trash! How do you show thousands of 12-year old girls screaming for their hometown idol then have Katy Perry perform looking like that...
Did anyone else notice what appeared to be Katy Perry giving "the finger" during her song? Rewind and watch careful.
Also, I do not think she should have been allowed to have a contestants name on the back of her cape. That was rude.
She is awful.
What was up with Adam's name on the back of her cape? First Simon calls so that Adam can sing a song and now this?
Not good! The best voice is gone. Sorry, but Adam is a screamer!
Why did her eyes look so scary????
what about her having "adam lambert" on her cape!!! LOVED IT
Did you notice that her cape had "Adam Lambert" on it? It's at the start when her back is to the camera. Guess Katy chose her idol huh?
YAY!!! GOKEY GOES HOME!!!
Did everyone see Adam Lambert's name on Katy Perry's cape??
i don't get katy perry... she's like the "paris hilton" of music. no talent whatsoever.. just likes to prance around on stage and write lyrics that don't even deserve the category of "bubblegum pop". yuck.
Love her
That was absolutely horrible.
Well, I guess we all know who Kitty Purree is rooting for.
