The 21st season of “American Idol” is underway, and viewers already have their first favorites. One of them was the eccentric 25-year-old Sara Beth. Although she quickly gained the sympathy of the audience gathered in front of the screens, one of the jurors was not able to convince her until the moment of voting. Internet users suggest that the reason could not only be jealousy, but also the initial confession of the participant.
AVANTI24 OFFERS:
She criticized her for her lack of self-confidence
When the young and smiling girl stood in front of the judges of “Idol”, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan thought they had a teenager in front of them. It turned out, however, that Sara Beth is 25 years old and is a mother of three children, but she treated the jury’s comment as a compliment. Although the male part of the jury was sympathetic to her, Katy Perry made it clear that she “wasted her time” and postponed her dreams for too long. Internet users are of the opinion that she intentionally embarrassed the young mother – they emphasize that the singer gave birth relatively late – as a 36-year-old. However, she shares a similar past with the participant: she was raised in a religious family and sang in the church choir. Additional prejudice was caused by Sarah’s confession. Perry asked her if a career in the music industry was still her dream, given that she now has less time to herself. The participant was unable to answer in the affirmative.
If that’s not your dream, you may have to leave here because you have so many other dreams behind you.
– commented the pop star, referring to the other participants of the show, waiting for their turn.
“A young mother should not be humiliated”
A stressed-out Sara Beth sang an acoustic version of Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good”, which wasn’t her first choice. She feared she wouldn’t be able to perform the original task vocally. Although her natural talent convinced most of the jury, Katy decided to interrupt her “We need something more. It’s not enough,” she continued the accusation. So the contestant tried a song that was her first choice – “Benny and the Jets” by Elton John, where she had to pull out impressively high notes. The performance still did not satisfy the judges, and when Sara finished singing, due to her specific behavior, she mockingly called her “a comic book character transferred to the real world” and also an “accidental American idol”. The behavior did not go unnoticed by Internet users.
A young mother who follows her dreams while raising her children should be praised, not humiliated.
Katy Perry has proven that she doesn’t care about all women.
I don’t like Katy Perry’s treatment of Sara Beth on #AmericanIdol. They let her bully this woman on national television before she even started singing. It’s nasty.
– they wrote on Twitter. However, the judges finally gave their approval.
I love that even though you don’t know what the hell you’re doing here, you’re a great singer.
commented Luke Bryan. “If it’s not her dream, she won’t get far. I respect anyone who walks through that door and would give their life for that golden ticket,” added Katy Perry. Eventually, the participant advanced to the next stage of the show. “Hurry up before the dream is over!” the judges told her.
The 21st season of “American Idol” began on February 19, 2023 and is still ongoing. We will know the winners soon.
