During a recent episode of American Idol, judge Katy Perry received boos from the live audience in Hawaii for her negative feedback to contestant Nutsa Buzaladze. Perry suggested that Buzaladze should try toning down her performances, as they tend to be overly energetic with excessive glitter.

“Nutsa, every time you take the stage, it’s like you glitter bomb the stage,” Perry advised the Top 26 hopeful on American Idol. “Listen, I think one thing I personally would like to see from you is not one piece of glitter the next time. I know that’s gonna be hard.”

Despite the negative reaction from the crowd, Katy Perry stood by her feedback and explained that she wanted to see a different side of Buzaladze’s artistry, as reported by ET.

“OK, first time in six seasons, woo hoo,” she brushed off the taunts. She then explained to Buzaladze what she meant. “What I’m saying is that I’d like you to flip the script. I think we want to be pulled in by our hearts, too. I’d love to see that, and I think America might too.”

The contestant Nutsa Buzaladze acknowledged that she tends to have a lot of energy during her performances and needs to work on balancing it out.
