Katy Perry walked off set during the latest episode of American Idol after her fellow judges turned down Aretha Franklin’s grandchild.
Perry was wowed by the 15-year-old singer’s renditions of “Killing Me Softly With His Song” and “Ain’t No Way”, and argued her case before the other judges.
With Byron also voting no, Perry seemed shocked at the decision to deny Franklin further progress in the competition.
I’m sure Aretha wasn’t Aretha when she walked into the room but somebody said, ‘Yes, I want to work with you, I want to develop you, you’ve got something!’
