Katy Perry gave a funny and flattering critique to a New Jersey teen who sang the pop stars song, Rise, on American Idol Sunday. (Watch the video below.)
Perry has announced that this season will be her last as a judge and Hailey Mia helped her enjoy it in style.
The polished 16-year-old had Perry nodding and smiling as she performed, with Hailey belting out a note halfway through that left the Grammy-nominated artist visibly stunned.
After being joined by fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan in a standing ovation, Perry declared, That was inspiring.
The Dark Horse singer copped to full body chills, even in places where Ive been Botoxed, as she applauded Haileys performance.
Richie also praised the teen singer for reinventing that song with your voice. You make it sound like yours.
The three panelists reached a unanimous decision to advance her to Hollywood.
Prior to her appearance on American Idol, Hailey participated in Season 21 of The Voice in 2021, where she finished in fourth place.
