Katy Perry – Face Criticisms After She Used Another Contestant’s Round To Vent About the Elimination of Another
On Sunday, April 23, episode of the singing competition show, the “Legendary Lovers” singer and Luke Bryan expressed their perplexity that one of the contestants they really believed in was sent packing. The problem was that they did that when they should be giving feedback to another contestant. Talk about rude.
Following contestant Wé Ani’s moving rendition of Adele’s Bond theme song “Skyfall,” which helped her make it into the top 20, Perry couldn’t provide feedback because she was still thinking about McCormick’s elimination.
“Wé, oh my god,” she said. “I’m just so shook right now. First of all, shook by the results, and I’m also shook by that song, it’s so dramatic.”
“There’s so much drama going through my body right now I need a nap,” Perry continued. “But the truth is, America, you guys have the votes. You’re the ones voting and if you’re not voting, you’re not using your voice. Your faves aren’t safe. So from now on, vote for who you want to see in the top 12.”
