Wait, wait. Dude look like a lady and all, but maybe I meant Kate Perry instead.
Yep, Kate Perry. Very, very annoying person.
Steven Tyler and Katy Perry must have been guest judges. Guest judges are only there for one week during the finals. I don’t think either were either on the regular panel, but I could be wrong. I’ve been watching since Paula, Randy and Simon.
