Katy Perry has insisted the COVID-19 crisis has a silver lining – it’s given wannabe performers a push to chase their dreams.<\/p>\n

The American Idol judge is currently at work on the latest season of the long-running talent show, which premieres on Valentine’s Day, and admitted the latest talent pool, which emerged from a difficult 2020, is sweeter than ever.<\/p>\n

“I think we’re all living in this weird, wild, crazy moment where a lot of our dreams have been put on hold,” the new mum explained during an appearance on Live With Kelly & Ryan. <\/p>\n

“I think a lot of the contestants said to themselves, when they clicked a Zoom link to audition, ‘I have nothing to lose’,” she went on, musing: “because nothing is promised. We don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow so (they think), ‘I’m just going to go and swing for my dreams’.”<\/p>\n

Perry continued: “So that means the floodgates were open… Nobody was busy. They were just ready to take a hold of their dreams.”<\/p>\n

And she’s thrilled, too, that American Idol is really commanding respect from other leading lights in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

“It (the show) just keeps getting better and better,” she smiled. <\/p>\n

“I think people (in the business) trust us, and artists especially and real musicians especially, not just great singers but people with the whole package,” she remarked, proclaiming: “and that really is what defines an American Idol – because it’s not called American Singer. You’ve got to check so many different boxes and that’s what these kids are coming out and doing.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
