American Idol fans have slammed Katy Perry once again over her reaction to live voting results.
After such an intense battle, the top 20 contestants of American Idol season 21 were finally revealed. The last singer to be announced was Wé Ani and she stunned the viewers with her impressive performance of ‘Skyfall.’
But Katy Perry seems to rub fans up the wrong way due to her shocked expression.
Presenter Ryan Seacrest stood before Ani, Elijah McCormick, Malik Heard and Dawson Wayne.
After Ani’s name was announced to join the rest, she took to the stage and performed Adele’s Skyfall and blew judges and audiences away with her voice.
Judge Luke Bryan told her: “You’re so deserving. It’s amazing what you do night in and night out, you crushed it.”
Lionel Richie also made similar remarks before adding: “The amount of talent you have is undeniable.”
But the feedback of Perry, who was a huge supporter of McCormick, said: “Wé, oh my god, I’m just so shook right now.
“First of all, shook by the results, and I’m also shook by that song is so dramatic, there’s so much drama going through my body right now I need a nap.”
The Teenage Dream singer failed to give Ani praise or specific feedback but took the opportunity to tell viewers about the importance of voting.
“But the truth is, America, you guys have the votes. You’re the ones voting,” she said.
“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,” she added.
Many fans were quick to slam Perry, with one person tweeting: “Katy Perry needs to leave! That was very rude to show her displeasure with America’s choice of We Ani. She had the best performance of the night!”
Another said: “As much as I love them, I hope @katyperry and @lukebryan apologize to We Ani for not letting her have her moment and telling America they need to vote instead of applauding her performance. Ryan said move votes than last season came in, so obviously America voted!!!”
