Katy Perry's Reaction To An 'American Idol' Contestant Singing Her Song Says It All
HuffPost
Perry judged a hopeful who covered her song, "Rise."
Katy Perry gave a funny and flattering critique to a New Jersey teen who sang the pop star’s song, “Rise,” on “American Idol” Sunday. (Watch the video below.)
Perry has announced that this season will be her last as a judge ― and Hailey Mia helped her enjoy it in style.
The polished 16-year-old had Perry nodding and smiling as she performed, with Hailey belting out a note halfway through that left the Grammy-nominated artist visibly stunned.
After being joined by fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan in a standing ovation, Perry declared, “That was inspiring.”
The “Dark Horse” singer copped to “full body chills, even in places where I’ve been Botoxed,” as she applauded Hailey’s performance.
