So, Parade spoke to the judges after the show to find out why they picked her following her performance of “And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going” from Dreamgirls . “All the people that are going home tonight, I’m not worried about any of them,” Katy Perry told Parade. “Sure, winning American Idol is what some people want, but it’s really about taking this momentum. You see someone like an artist who is in our Top 20, or maybe even our Top 40, like Lauren Spencer-Smith , who is a new artist on pop radio, she has two hit songs right now.
