American Idol: Katy Perry walks off set as judges turn down Aretha Franklin’s granddaughter

Katy Perry walked off set during the latest episode of American Idol after her fellow judges turned down Aretha Franklin’s granddaughter.

Wowed by 15-year-old Grace Franklin's audition, the pop star couldn't believe it when Lionel Richie and Luke Byron decided not to send her through to the next round.

“Give her a shot, give her a chance. I’m sure Aretha wasn’t Aretha when she walked into the room but somebody said, ‘Yes’,” Perry said.

“I will lay down on the ground. I quit this show! I’m going to the bar,” she added, walking off.
