Plus I'm sure ABC got hard at the Taylor drama as well. The Voice isn't getting any headlines on social media with higher ratings.

For what it's worth, the Idol fans (read: conservative-leaning soccer moms in fly over states) on Facebook are loving her and calling her one of the best judges Idol has ever had. I was pretty shocked. Check out the top comments on any of the posts re: Katy on the Idol FB page. Katy is creating major headlines every week and giving Idol the most exposure it's gotten in half a decade. She's putting that $25 MILLiON to use! Exactly. The show is struggling and it needs controversy to break through the clutter. ABC promised advertisers a 1.8 demo (Live + 7) and Monday's show, which hit a 1.6, will barely cross when this week's viewing is tallied. They need to get legacy AI viewers back and the whole "What will Katy do next..." is one way to accomplish that. Katy just needs to avoid the terrible backlash that Mariah received.

If the show tanks, and she's the biggest face of that show, that isn't good for the show nor Katy. I mean, it was always going to happen. Ryan needs to fade amid the sexual harassment scandal(s), the other judges are boring, and the show's brand is stale. But given the year she's had, I don't think "all press is good press" is what she should be striving for.

If Katy wasn't getting controversial handlines critics would complain she's boring. Let's face it, Katy isn't going to get headlines by giving advice on singing and pitch, and she can't give harsh criticism like Simon because she's a woman. It'll be interesting when the live rounds start!

Omw. No one cares about American Idol. Half of its audience discovered YouTube and the other half started watching The Voice. I had not even read about most of these hot-and-bothered controversies until now, whereas during the Witness era, 75 percent of online pop culture content could have been filed under Katy Perry Micro-triggered My Single Prude Fat Ass.

I'm still triggered Roulette was just skipped over when it is arguably one of her best songs ever.

I saw someone play Fortnite last night and in it you were able to make your character do the Swish Swish dance while a short remake of the instrumental played. For anyone who doesn’t know, that game is huge right now. This is adding to the multiple times I have seen people do the dance in the last few months. Maybe if the song and video weren’t so terrible it could have become a viral hit

I forgot about Act My Age but it honestly could've been a single Random but good choice to perform live though

OMG I didn't expect this song to translate that well into live performance, especially to consider the apparent s**tty sound conditions of a Japanese news show.

Seems like she performed this because AMA is used as the theme song of the Japanese TV commercial she's featured on right now. Probably this will be a real hit in Japan. Full interview on Sukkiri! (the last chicken nugget part tho... )

That Act My Age performance makes me so happy. It’s one of my favorite songs from Witness and I’ve always wanted to hear a live version. Tbh, I wouldn’t mind if they randomly throw that out as a single this year.

That instrumental sounds like a mix of Cold Water’s guitar, Attention’s bass and Into You’s bell sound (it isn’t a bell but I can’t remember the word right now). The song itself is pretty good

Tbh, I wouldn’t mind if they randomly throw that out as a single this year. I feel like we are almost always on the same page... Act My Age is my fave off of Witness and tbh it'd be a great way to officially end the era...

Wow that performance was amazing!!! I’m still surprised Rise got such a boost on iTunes from an Idol performance.

Katy's so good on Idol. It's really a shame they didn't cast her back when Simon first left the show.

That pink hair is what she shoulda done in the first place rather than wet canary yellow.

I'm imagining Katy's next record to be a look-back on her past mistakes and career and her fall from grace a la Mike Posner and moving forward while not being the biggest pop star in the world anymore. That would be so dope to see her perspective on fame and not being on top.
