Singer-songwriter Katy Perry says judging ‘American Idol’ reminds her of her own process and that really inspires her.
“I mean, it’s so beautiful. Like it just really reminds me of my own process. It re-inspires me. And it’s that great American dream come true,” Perry said in a statement.
“Like we get to watch it from the infancy. And, you know, there are a few people I can’t stop thinking about based on their presence, their personality, their talent…the whole package,” she added. Opening up about guiding the contestants, she said: “To be able to pay it forward by caring. I care so much about these kids. And being a real mentor. And giving them advice that they can hopefully take and really apply so that they can win. I mean, I’m just so encouraged by these kids and it makes me feel like a good person while doing it so I love it.”
“You know, they’re just looking for someone to stand out, to check all those boxes. I think its talent, personality and story, you know. Talent, personality and story. And in that personality is presentation. And the growth. You know, some people can turn a little bit sour or like change when they come to Hollywood and they lose that vulnerability. They lose that relatability. They lose that connection. I think it’s just people that they feel really connected to,” she said.
