Katy Perry on American Idol: Pre-Recorded "Part of Me" Performance Booed By Audience
by Free Britney at .Katy Perry performed on American Idol Thursday night.
Sadly, it was pre-recorded, leading to a chorus of boos from an audience that was beyond pumped for her to treat them to a live rendition of "Part of Me."
While awaiting the week's American Idol results, the crowd was screaming and squealing in anticipation of Perry, one of the biggest stars in music today.
For whatever reason, the stage manager and audience coordinator refused to let the crowd in on the secret that the performance was actually pre-taped.
According to E! Online, they kept teasing enraptured fans, saying, "Should we tell them? Do you want to tell them? OK, let's just let it be a surprise."
That "surprise" sucked royally. Disappointed Katy Perry fans began booing and being vocal about their disapproval of only seeing a pretaped performance.
Pretty weak for sure. Why not just say it up front? Anyway, you can still watch Perry's pre-taped rendition of "Part of Me," her latest hit, after the jump:

For anyone who says Katy can't sing live, I suggest you watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymYAPlv6B1Y And also........for those slating her..... I bet you have never tried to sing and dance at the same time. I am in musicals, and it's bloody difficult. I take my hat off to her!
I am a fan of katy perry and i enjoyed the performance it didnlt bother me that i was pre-recored.
Auto-Tune was invented for singers like Katy Perry. The problem is they hear themselves on the radio and then they think they can really sing. Katy and Will-I-Am should do a album together and they can call themselves The Black Eyed Auto-Tuners.
Don't talk shit about something you don't know. Unless you were there you really don't know the reason for pre recording the performance Katy perry is amazing and guarantee she can out sing all of you haters :)
That is so low. Why would you say it was live when it's really pre-recorded. This is why i don't watch American Idol anymore they have people lip sync on a LIVE tv show. Nice job! >:(
