The post Katy Perry Is Getting Flamed Like A Firework For Deliberately Trolling American Idol Contestants appeared first on PEDESTRIAN.TV .

contestants who are simply trying to learn their musical fate on a show which could potentially change their lives. The feedback, as one might say, is a bit “Hot N Cold”. During a recent episode, Perry was tasked with telling singers whether they’d made it into the Top 24, or if they’d be boot-scooting home. ‘Tis an objectively simple job for 99 per cent of the population, but not for Miss Menulog. Rather than giving the news straight, Perry decided to (thank you, I’ll be here all night) several contestants out by making them believe they’d been eliminated, when they’d actually progressed to the next round. Did somebody say “bazinga”? Perry trolled a few different contestants, with being the first unfortunate soul on the chopping block. “We did not put you in the Top 24,” Perry said, before taking a dramatic pause. “You put yourself in that Top 24.” It was basically the equivalent of that , except it wasn’t funny because Katy Perry has the comedic timing of a house plant. But the epic pranker was not done, for her next target was . “The challenging thing about love is when you love something, you have to let it go,” Perry told the poor man. “We have to let you go.” Williams gave a sombre nod; he had accepted his fate. Until Perry opened her gob again after taking yet another unnecessarily long pause. “Into the Top 24!” she said. I don’t know what has possessed this woman to behave as if she is the lovechild of the Riddler and , with just a hint of “Disgustingly Good” . She must be stopped. Another victim of the agent of chaos was . “You may not go home to flip burgers, but you will be going home,” she told him. “To pack a new bag to come back to the Top 24.” This one was arguably the worst because, for some reason, there was a video of the bloke’s kids on-screen and they had to watch pops get pranked. I just know they’ll be having nightmares about this for years to come. Last but not least was , who is only 17 and should not be subject to such tomfoolery on national television. “We don’t think you’re destined for the Top 24,” Perry told the poor lamb, preparing to take him out to be slaughtered. “We actually think it’s more like Top 10 … but you’re still gonna go to the Top 24 first!” Pointless. Unwarranted. Excessive. Cruel. And so on and so forth. TikToker  collated Perry’s dastardly antics in one video, which you can watch below. Needless to say, folks on Twitter didn’t enjoy Perry’s dramatics. One person even went as far to say she was committing “psychological warfare” and truer words have never been spoken. Somehow this isn’t the first controversy Katy Perry has faced on . Just last month, she was accused of a contestant by the name of , who ended up quitting the show. Ruh roh.
