Katy Perry made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live where she talked about being a judge on American Idol withLuke Bryan and Lionel Richie, and revealed that she has filled the Simon Cowell role:
“I am definitely like a team player, but I’m probably the more stern, straight to the point, Simon Cowell with boobs"
Having watched her for her first season last year, she started out not wanting to offend anyone, but eventually she got much more direct with the contestants, Lionel offered more constructive criticism and Luke just filled in as needed.
