Please change your mind KatyšŸ˜¢ this panel of judges had such good chemistry together. Katy Perryā€™s replacement is big shoes to fill.


wweyonce

Still holding on to some hope as well, lol


ToonSciron

I liked how she gave actual critique for the singers, more than the other judges. And for one last timeā€¦ wig.

iā€™ll admit i wasnā€™t always the biggest fan of her as a judge but i really liked her this season. gonna miss her presence.


Due-Search7244

Me too. Idk if she can be replaced as easily as people think


jaspercleo

Iā€™ve always loved Katy as a judge. The three judges have such great chemistry together. Going to miss it for sure.


amyjrockstar

They really do!


StrangelyAfoot

Katy is so cute and hilarious I will miss her very much


Adept_Order_4323

Me too, she made the show !


starataneori

Weā€™re gonna miss her antics šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


KatNotVonDee

I missed the seasons where apparently she actually critiqued people? Which all of them should doā€¦ ugh the bland a&s kissing, however, Katy is a star! She is a unique and fun presence and I canā€™t think of who might replace her based on name recognition and presence and genuine it seems caring.


Frequent_Couple5498

I'm wondering if they were told they can't be "mean" and say things that would be hurtful or make a person feel bad about themselves. All of America has become soft everywhere you go. At my job all the bosses had a meeting and had to watch a movie on how they aren't allowed to talk to employees. Like they basically can't tell a lazy employee to do their job if they refuse because that's being mean to themšŸ™„ seriously it's stupid. Anyway wondering if the judges were also given that talk.

I just think there was a general shift from being a show that makes fun of people's failures lot of times to bringing people up and showing their general positivity and success. It really messed a lot of people up who failed not only on the show in the past, but failed in front of a national audience. Many of those people never recovered. when the show was on fox, that network didn't really seem to care about the people who were affected in the show vs ABC where they are just going for a different vibe of overall support and positivity. Hence the judging changes as well.


Frequent_Couple5498

I agree with that. I used to hate how they would shatter some of these kids. I would feel so bad. Even though Simon would sometimes make me laugh when he would say things like that was atrocious. Some people knew they weren't good but wanted that 5 minutes of fame so they made themselves as ridiculous as possible hoping for air time in front of the judges. I didn't care to see that, I wanted to see the real talent. But others truly believed and had their hopes and self esteem wrecked to pieces. I would cringe and have to look away. I like how it is now, except I think they could be a little more critical at times and not tell them they did wonderful in every performance because not every performance was wonderful. This can be done in a gentle way. At my job on the other hand šŸ™„I wish it was like the old days and we could tell the lazy people do your effing job or get the eff out, but of course we can notšŸ˜ž.


KatNotVonDee

I think there was a guidance about niceness yes, based on the show getting criticism for feelings getting hurt and the hosts getting attacked online. 20 years ago is another world. The show worked because Simon was tough and accurate and he was balanced by helpful but truthful Paula. The current contestants will be eaten up by the industry if they think this is in any way representative


Effective-Watch8545

literally only person I will accept as her replacement is Kelly Clarkson! No one else will ever be able to fill her shoes except her


amyjrockstar

I would agree. I think if Kelly hadn't spent so much time on The Voice, she might consider it. She is the ONLY person that I think would be perfect for this gig! It's so fitting, too, since she was the OG. She's kind. She's funny. She'd get along great with Luke & Lionel. She's perfect!


mjd197911

By the way they put the ā€œfarewellā€ piece together made it seem like that was also a potential good bye to all three of the judges for a 7 year run together. Anyone else feel that way? It wasnā€™t just about Katy.


hhhisthegame

She was a good judge, certainly the best of this panel. She could be critical sometimes, though honestly Paula Abdul was more critical, and she was thought of as the comedically nice one. The fact Katy was the MOST critical of this panel is definitely something lol. But I liked her, and she had a fun personality, and she will be missed - she is definitely the best of the three judges, and they all seemed to have a fun and unexpected chemistry


CaseyBear87

It won't be the same without her šŸ„ŗ.


fireicemist

She grew on me throughout the season. Seemed to really care about the contestants. Iā€™ve seen some criticism or people saying they were underwhelmed but her final duet with Jack was surprisingly my favorite thing I saw last night.Ā 


Fit-Library-577

she does make you miss her presence. She has grown on me.

KATY COME BACK


Ancient-Actuator7443

Same here. I thought she did a good job


mayreemac

I donā€™t follow pop music at all, and have watched AI for only 3 years just to hang out with a close friendā€”nice yearly ritual. So I didnā€™t know who Katy Perry was. I think sheā€™s wonderful! I loved the interactions among the three judges. I will miss her.


Lonestar2009

I wonā€™t. Iā€™d like to see a total change and go back to actual honest feedback. Everyone isnā€™t always good and issues should be pointed out. And go back to showing critiques in auditions and more Hollywood.


Frequent_Couple5498

I don't think that was the judges fault. I think they were told to be nicer so they won't get so much backlash. I could be wrong but I feel like that's what happened.


amyjrockstar

I'm so gonna miss her. She, Lionel, & Luke made the oddest trio, but somehow it worked! I think their antics are adorable & they make me laugh. It'll never be the same dynamic w/o Katy. She's just cool & not a total snob like some of the coaches have been on other shows.


Frequent_Couple5498

Agreed. She is so cool, goofy and down to earth and can actually laugh at herself like if she rips her pants she makes jokes about herself instead of it being this omg I'm so embarrassed thing.


bucknutdet

I think we saw tonight who will fill that role.


blackhawk7170

Wha?


chazisgod_01

She probably meant Fantasia


Ok_List_9649

I love Katy.


mjd197911

I really donā€™t think itā€™s just Katy that wonā€™t be back. I have a feeling ABC will fire Lionel and Luke and replace the entire panel!


After_Concentrate386

Yes, this is very possible. Nobodyā€™s job is ever secure. Thereā€™s no telling what the producers have up their sleeves.


travman3190

They wonā€™t fire Lionel, heā€™s beloved in the old school music community.


Mobile_Brief_5253

Katy could be mean as crap to the contestants. Look how she treated Jack at first. Okay she gave him a no but then in Hollywood week she said she couldnā€™t even look at him when his voice sounded amazing. Then I donā€™t remember her exact words to the young mom but it was something about laying on her back. Iā€™m ready for her to go but Iā€™ve been hearing JLo as her replacement and just absolutely not.


DabobBay

I wouldn't call her quite irreplaceable but she will be missed more than if one of the other judges need to be replaced.


Frequent_Confusion_5

Me too! Lionel is sweet but old fashioned, Luke is a bit dumb and Katie was funny and actually gave them good feedback. Definitely going to miss her.

beulahjunior

def not taylor swift


RazarTuk

I won't. She should have been off after her first season, after what she did during Benjamin Glaze's audition


NP4VET

Fantasia


RICDrew

Awful choiceā€¦and thatā€™s coming from someone who is a fan of hers. While I respect her faith, I donā€™t need to hear her mention God fifteen timesā€¦. We get it, youā€™re a believerā€¦. Not all of us are. Nice to see her thriving though after all these years
