Most of them flocked to Reddit, where they discussed the schedule shakeup. Fans were disappointed by this change that was hardly mentioned.
Some suggested that a new episode should’ve aired the following day, but it would clash with a new episode of The Bachelor. Other fans felt that the new episode should drop on Hulu.

American Idol fans called out Katy Perry for being tough on the female contestant. Most of them are happy that she’s leaving after Season 22. Katy announced that she was leaving the show to focus on new music.
What are your thoughts on the American Idol schedule shakeup? Did this news surprise you as well? Do you plan to watch the Oscars? Sound off below in the comment section.
I like Katy Perry and want her to stay on American Idol.
I like all three judges and enjoy their comments on the contestants. I am tired of these people who critize
others. They need to look at their lives and attitudes and accept the fact that everybody does not think alike. My advice to them is “get a life” because you were not asked to be a judge. Postponing American Idol a week is good.
Katy Perry gave Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter a NO. I thought she sang good enough to go on through. At least the guys gave her yeses.
