First, she kissed a boy and he didn't like it during the audition rounds on American Idol, now Katy Perry just made a contestant cry. The 33-year-old pop singer pulled a cruel prank during the show's Hollywood Week as she told a girl group — consisting of members Britney Holmes, Lee Vasi, Gabbii Jones, and Crystal Alicea — one of them needed to volunteer themselves and go home as there were only three open slots left in the upcoming solo round. Crystal, who struggled to vocally keep up with the rest of the members in rehearsal ahead of the group challenge, started sobbing and told the judges she would leave. Turns out, Katy was kidding. So why was Crystal ready to take the fall? She said, "I said that because these girls helped me through everything when I was struggling... They were there for me, so I was willing to take that position.

When you really break it down, American Idol‘s Hollywood Week is a lot like a trip to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.
Think about it: An army of young dreamers show up with golden tickets in hand, then get pushed to their breaking points until only those with the purest of hearts remain. Honestly, if you told me that Ryan Seacrest is just a bunch of Oompa Loompas standing on each other’s shoulders in a skin-suit, I’d at least hear you out.

Judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie continued their journey across the country to find the next American Idol winner. During the third night of the season 16 auditions, they made stops in Savannah, Nashville, New York City and Los Angeles.
One of the standouts includes a female singer who kicked off the night. Crystal Alicea doesn't have professional performing experience. But despite her experience coming from karaoke, she has a really good voice. Listening to her, I felt a connection between her, her music, the song and her backstory.
