And now, like American idol reduces the competition to 14 singers, Perry returns to Jelly rollduring his appearance on the show last week (April 8) and stressed that he would be his ideal replacement.
“I have to say, Jelly Roll was crazy when he came on the show,” Perry said after the show’s recent live episode (April 15) via E! News. “I was convinced [by] everything he said. He could run for president, he could be my pastor, I could go back to church for him. He could sell me anything.
She continued: “I love him. To get one of these guys [current judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan] more Jelly in the series would be amazing. I love you, Jelly! »
