Katy Perry ugly cries during 'Idol' proposal: 'Why won't someone love me like that?'

Night two of American Idol Season 17’s Hollywood Week was brutal, with 30 of the remaining 70 contestants going home by the end of Monday’s episode. Johanna Jones survived, for now — but at least she knows that if she eventually does go home, she has a new fiancé waiting for her back in Nevada. After her boyfriend was unable to attend Hollywood Week because of his studies, he hopped in the car after taking six final exams and drove 11 hours to L.A.’s Orpheum Theatre to surprise her with an onstage marriage proposal. Johanna had just finished telling producers that she is “pretty dang in love” and that Matt is “the one,” perfectly setting up the show for a moment right up there with the Ace Young-Diana DeGarmo proposal on the Season 11 finale, Maddie Poppe and Caleb Lee Hutchinson’s relationship-status reveal on last year’s Season 16 finale, and the recent news that two other Season 16 finalists, Gabby Barrett and Cade Foehner, have gotten engaged. It was immediately following Johanna’s moody performance of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” — an odd song choice, in this context — that Matt showed up with a ring.

Johanna’s parents, who were in the audience at the Orpheum, seemed shocked — but not as shocked as judge Katy Perry, who dropped to her knees under the judges' desk and ugly-cried so hard that her makeup artist had to be dispatched to the scene. "Why won’t someone love me like that?" she howled melodramatically. Obviously this episode was taped before Katy’s significant other, Orlando Bloom, actually popped the question himself. You may recall that Katy once dished to Johanna that she and Orlando met-cute at In-N-Out, after Johanna revealed that her day job is flipping burgers for the fast food franchise. Perhaps In-N-Out can cater both Katy and Johanna’s weddings.
