Katy Perry Says It's Not Always About The Person That Wins 'American Idol'

Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie all stopped by Good Morning America this morning (February 27) to dish about the all-new season of American Idol!

The three judges revealed that this year’s pool of talented contestants “really showed up,” noting that the singing competition is “not always about the person who wins.”

“It is called American Idol not American Idols and some of these kids that have made it to the top — they all deserve that spot,” Katy, 34, said. “History says maybe it’s not about the person that wins.”

“I tell people every day you got to be very aware of the fact that No. 1 means you have to be famous now,” Lionel added. “[Being a runner up] means you’ve studied the course and can figure it out and you can go home and have time to work on it.”

Katy, Luke and Lionel then engaged in a friendly competition to see if they can name each other’s songs in guessing game – Watch more after the cut!

Sofia Richie Opens Up About Scott Disick Relationship

Sofia Richie looks stunning on the cover of Tatler magazine’s April 2019 issue, available on digital download and on newsstands on February 28!

Here’s what the 20-year-old model had to share with the mag:

On social media and her relationship with Scott Disick: “I think a lot of people think they have to prove their relationships through social media, and I’m just happy being private about my relationship. It’s not like I won’t post pictures about it, but I like having my little private life.”

On not being a party girl: “I’m not a party girl, and I really don’t like the paparazzi.” She added that she prefers hosting couples’ games nights for her friends, including “My friend Tina and her boyfriend, my friend Gigi… No, not that Gigi. No one you would know.” They eat take-out pizza and play Taboo or a game called Spoons. “Clearly we have a lot of time on our hands.”

On her and Scott’s low-key date nights: “Whatever we do, whether it’s going to the cinema or dinner, we’ll always just end up going home and watching a movie after.’

On her father Lionel Richie: “When I say my dad was strict, he came from a Southern family, and he still very much believes in the morals his parents in­stilled in him. I wasn’t one of those privileged, spoiled children. We had our blessings, but I was told if I wanted something, I had to do it for myself. I feel like my parents got training on my first two siblings, so I got the tightened leash.”

Apparently, Miles wasn’t let on his flight and then became upset and claimed he had a bomb that he would detonate if he wasn’t allowed on the airplane. Police had to intervene when he allegedly punched airport security.

Lionel Richie, Rita Wilson, & Dennis Quaid Present at CMA Awards 2018!

Lionel Richie, Rita Wilson, and Dennis Quaid team up at the 2018 CMA Awards!

The 69-year-old “All Night Long” singer, the 62-year-old My Big Fat Greek Wedding actress, and the 64-year-old Kin actor stepped out for the event held at the Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday (November 14) in Nashville, Tenn.

All three stars took the stage as presenters during the show.

“[Acting and singing are] both very different,” Rita told ET on the carpet. “I would say that music, for me, is something that I feel more creatively satisfied or connected to because it’s so pure. It’s such a pure expression of who I am. With acting, it’s great because sometimes you’re, it has nothing to do with who you are, so you’re liberated by that. And I feel lucky that I’ve been able to support myself in this business for so many years.”

“I’m always singing for [husband Tom Hanks]!” she added. “Always, definitely!”

FYI: Rita is wearing Jenny Packham.
