[@just4mygrl413]

Love Katy Perry! She's so funny and beautiful inside and out! Will miss her!

[@Allinmyworld]

She's been on there for 7 years?!? It's been that long?

[@khloediamondz]

Love katyyyyy

Hard Working Women..... I love Katy Perry....❤❤❤

I did not even know who Katy Perry or Luke Bryan was until they were on American Idol. I am older than both of them. But I had heard the songs they sang. I’ll say, Katy, grows on you. She is goofy, funny, smart, pretty, a wife, a mom. I’m glad she will go do her thing. Hope she comes back later on in a few years.

[@pamh5635]

I will watching to see what Katy does next!❤❤❤❤

It'd be awesome if it was porn, but I guess we could never get that lucky...haha

Katy's interviewing Denny Directo why she was saying goodbye to _American Idol._ She's been here for a while now. She was on that show for 6 years, and that's about it. We've known Katy Perry since 2008, which is 15 years ago, by the way. That's not a bad interview.

[@petercunnius4028]

Can't wait to see what Katie does next.

[@Peter-cw6gx]

Hopefully she's gonna let Orlando knock her up again...I'd love to see her with a baby bump again. 🤰

[@rogermucroy750]

Hopefully porn.

[@elizabethenglish1790]

She's planning for touring and do Rock in Rio and she's taking Daisy Dove with her

[@Peter-cw6gx]

@@elizabethenglish1790 I bet Daisy Dove's gonna end up getting passed around by a lot of guys....

[@IWantToMature85]

I'm still not buying that she's leaving. She told Kimmel that it might be her final season.

[@MARSHMALLOW_2477]

Very long time

[@ranielsonaprigio9977]

Katyyyyyu

[@kimberley8902]

Who will replace?

[@kennethschwartz9351]

I believe eric(ricky) trump

[@SLAPJACKS83]

Simon Cowell

[@robertnegron6804]

Pink is the only one that makes sense for Katy's replacement

[@missvsunshine7756]

I would love to see Fantasia on there she will be awesome as well

[@travishunterbrown]

Alanis Morisette should replace her when she's done

[@user-oy2yj3du9f]

Her hair looks like after taking a shower.

[@music-ru6bk]

so hot

[@michellesimons7081]

I know something seems off w her. I love her but she doesn’t seem right. Drinking maybe?

[@TIFF__]

Yay! 🎉

[@DMVAUDITS]

This show still on 🙄

[@matthall113]

Shes off her face on something! 😂

[@garyowens777]

I take it Katys sobriety is out the window

[@michellesimons7081]

You read my mind.

[@nicolejohnson4989]

They need to retire the whole thing along with The Voice

[@brianj3663]

I really can't believe Orlando got to breed her....that must've felt amazing! I wonder if he's going to be doing it again soon.

[@Peter-cw6gx]

I really hope so. I would love to see Katy with a baby bump again. And giant milk-filled boobs too of course!

[@belantww]

Seven years is a long time for telling people who are more talented than you are that they need to improve. 🙄

[@thesilentknight4554]

*emotional damage😮💥🤣*

[@10293]

@@thesilentknight4554it’s really not though, she’s wealthy and successful and OP is only making a snide comment on KZbin…… Katy wins

[@sphinxkat]

I bet you've never actually listened to her first record, the whole thing. All you do is hate all day and that's your pathetic existance🖕

[@sadcatsam]

Truth ! Idk why she was a judge her music is mediocre at best

[@michellesimons7081]

She’s a great coach. But something’s def wrong. Seems like she’s drinking 😢

[@winnowmethis9501]

Yup, self advertise is the way to prove you have talent. Wearing crazy outfits will get you the attention you seek too.

[@michellesimons7081]

She’s doesn’t seem ok here.

[@LargeMarge8671]

WAAAAAY PAST TIME FOR THIS!!!!!! HOPEFULLY HER REPLACEMENT WILL HAVE SOME MUSIC TALENT AND BE QUALIFIED TO JUDGE PEOPLE!!!!

[@rudranilchowdhury5640]

Not gonna be u and ur fav fs

[@jeer0920]

You’re kidding right Marge??? lol Katy made it fun and she is talented look at how many songs she came out with. You just jealous I guess lol

[@thesilentknight4554]

Katy Perry was a prime fad in her day, and that's it. No major talent. And if her husband Orlando has got beef with that, then a 1 on 1 pro wrestling match it is!😊🔥

[@sphinxkat]

She was made into a fad to sell records, but she was always her own artist. Listen to her early stuff or the unplugged album. Silly hater 🤜😵‍💫

[@finfog4590]

2008-13, I guess she was.

[@Nadezhda1932]

Yeah it’s way past time for this Drama Queen to leave the show .

[@winnowmethis9501]

Her overbearing presence will not be missed. About the only thing I agree with her on is get Jelly Roll to take her place.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

She will not be missed 🤣

[@e.d.h.5605]

Katy Perry hasn't been relevant in YEARS!!! Yawn...

[@makelifematter1896]

Wont miss the drama queen

[@jeromejackson1029]

I’m glad she leaving! Can’t stand her. I’ll start watching American Idol next season cause she’s gone!

[@Peter-cw6gx]

Man, Orlando really needs to be breeding her again soon. I would love to see Katy with a baby bump again, she looked so great when she was pregnant.
