One of the most exciting moments of the last episode of the 21st American Idol was the unexpected decision of one of the favorites to leave the program. The popular talent show was left by Sara Beth – a young mother who became famous after the controversial statement of the judge, singer Katy Perry.
She wanted to fight for herself for the first time
As she stood before the jurors, jurors Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan thought they had a teenage girl in front of them. However, it turned out that Sara Beth is 25 years old and has already become a mother three times. Although she aroused the sympathy of the viewers and the male part of the jury, Katy Perry was reluctant to her, letting her know that she “wasted her time” and postponed her dreams for too long. Internet users commenting on the program decided that she was deliberately embarrassing the young mother.
A young mother who follows her dreams while raising her children should be praised, not humiliated.
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. The juror interrupted Sara’s casting several times, letting her know that she was not using her full potential and lacked self-confidence.

If that’s not your dream, you may have to leave here because you have so many other dreams behind you.
– commented Perry, referring to the other participants of the show, waiting for their turn. Eventually, Sara Beth convinced the jurors by additionally performing a piece by Elton John and advanced to the next stage. However, the adventure with the program ended sooner than the viewers expected.
Even the promise of a promotion did not convince her
During Hollywood Week – a stage in which participants have the opportunity to present their skills in a cult place for American cinematography, Sara performed the famous song “Roxanne” from the repertoire of The Police. Although the performance went flawlessly, the young singer confessed that it was her “last performance” as she plans to return home where her three children were waiting for her.
I don’t think I fit in here. It’s an amazing opportunity, but it will be my last performance. I left my heart at home. My children are waiting there. They need me. Thank you.
she explained.
To the surprise of the fans of the program, Katy Perry – a juror who was initially not convinced of her person – tried to persuade her to stay on the show. However, the woman did not change her decision even when the judges informed her that if she decides not to leave “Idol”, she will advance to the next stage.
I will probably regret it.
– Sara Beth confessed to the cameras. The singer is also active on social media. In response to numerous requests to return to the program, she decided to explain to fans that from the beginning she did not have high hopes for him. The production offered her participation for better viewership.
Sometimes we are faced with great opportunities and must make great choices. Many people are unaware that many participants have been recruited into the program. This is what happened to me. I wasn’t looking for any chance, but I thought I’d take a chance and see what happens. My heart is grateful and full of music.
she wrote on Twitter. She also recorded an explanation video on TikTok. In it, she says that the whole event “made her realize how much she wants to make music” and that she “falls in love with it all over again”.
