Katy Perry: Beeyatch or Brill?

The Idol blogosphere seems somewhat divided on this question, but I stand by my original statement:

When you're invited to a party, you don't crap on the host. If your bad self must be unleashed, save it for the guests.

If I were an Idol judge, I would like to believe that the other adults in the room had my back — that we were a team, united in our efforts to judge (meaning, praise and/or pan) the young contestants. I would not like having to dodge the slings and arrows of my colleagues' increasingly barbed remarks.

Particularly if I (read "Kara") have already mastered appearing ridiculous all on my own.

I'm no fan of Kara's, but this was absurdly petty and one-sided. Seriously, Katy — you couldn't find anything mockable in Randy's excessive jewelry and used-car-salesman vibe? Simon's ill-fitting wardrobe and clumsy metaphors? Only Kara's over-earnestness required your commentary?

Whatever.

Lady C, oh-so-ready to be done with these wretched auditions, and OUT!
